Of South Carolina Will Convene in Newberry Tonight-Something of its History. The Presbyterian Synod of South Caroina will convene in annual ses sion in Newberry with Aveleigh Pres byterian church this evening. The Rev. J. E. James is the present pastor of Aveleigh, having come to Newberry about three years ago from Anderson. Mr. James is a young man, a good pastor and an excellent preacher and is much beloved by the members of his congregation and by the citizenship of Newberry generally. He will make a charming host for the synod, and, with the cooperation of his members and of the citizenship generally, it is the purpose to make this convention of the synod the most delightful that has ever been held. Mr. James is a native of Alabama and an A. M. graduate of Princeton, and also a graduate of the theological school connected with Princeton. Aveleigh congregation is one of the oldest in the synod and has a fine history behind it. Dr. W. E. Pelham, who has been _, member of the congregation for the past thirty-six years, and who, for the past seven or eight years, has been the stated clerk of-the session, and who has been a ruling elder for twelve years and was superintendent of the Sunday school for twenty-three years and who is, therefore, familiar not only with the Presbyterian church in South Carolina, but with the local congregation, was asked by The Her ald and News for a statement in re gard to the approaching session of the synod, covering a little something of the history of Aveleigh Presbyte rian church, as well as a history of the Presbyterian church of South Caro lina, and also something of the dis tinguished visitors who are expected. Dr. Pelham readily consented to give this statement, which, no doubt, will be read with interest by the members of the Presbyterian church in South Carolina and by the people generally. Dr. Pelham stated in response to the inquiry from The Herald and News: "The synod of South Carolina dates its existence from the year 1788, and during all these years, has stood val iantly for the faith once delivered to the saints, and has exerted a potent and remarkable influence in all that has concerned the welfare of the Com monwealth in respect to an enlighten ed and lofty citizenship. "The distinctive principles of the Presbyterian church have been such as to a:tract the attention of the world to her and for none has she stood more loyally and consistently than to her insistence upon sepai'ation of church and State, the auonomy of each to suffer no interference by the one or the other. It is admittedly true that in proportion as this view obtains among any people, citizenship of the people becomes greatly more virile, self-respecting and influential. Many of the most distinguished men of the State, in the pulpit, at the bar, in the sciences, in the high estate of journalism, in commercial and in all the various activities of life, have been more or less prominently indentified with the Presbyterian church 'of South Carolina. "And for learning and eloquence and godly lives, the names of such worthes as Thornwell, Palmer, Howe, Woodrow, Girardeau and others stand ut first among their equals and no where surpassed throughout the Uin on. "The retiring moderator is the Rev. . W. Sloan, D. D., pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Greenville, S. C. The stated clerk is the Rev. Thos. H. Law, D. D., of Spartanburg, S. C. "The initial service will be a ser on to be preached by the moderator. ne of the essential and significant principles of the church is the parity f the eldership, the teaching elder eing the minister in charge, and the ruling elder, who bears rule, with qual 4.uthority in all the courts of he church appellate from session hrough Presbytery and Synod to Gen-, ral Assembly inclusive. Hence the representation in essence of this court ill be an equal number of ministers and ruling elders, though actually dif erent because ofttimes a minister* erves several churches. "The synod of South Carolina has erolled one hundred and forty min sters, active and inactive, and the~ membership throughout the State is* 25,000. In connection with the rou ine work of the synod, there will be risiting brethren from other synods, who will address the court, in their several capacities as secretaries. Among those expected are: Rev. Win. . Boggs, D. D., of Atlanta, Ga., sec retary of schools and colleges; Rev.I . 0. Reavis, D. D., of Nashville,! enn., co-ordinate secretary foreign missions; Rev. H. H. Sweets. D. D., f Louisville, Ky., secretary of min sterial education; Rev. Homer Mc Iillan, of Atlanta, Ga., assistant see Snedecor, LL. D., of Tuscaloonsa, Ala., secretary colored evangelization. "Matters of great moment are like ly to be discussed at a conference to be held Monday evening, of the trus tees representing the several educa tional institutions under the care and support of the synod. 'Aveleigh church, synod's hostess' was organized in 1835, and during all witness to all sublime truths of the Gospel, as enunciated by the great Teacher, her members having been true to the principles maintained by their fathers and fore-fathers, in their day and generation. Her ministers have been men above the ordinary in intellect, and have impressed their lives in gracious fulness upon the community and State. "Newberry awaits the coming of the synod and her people of all de nominations will extend a hearty wel come to the representatives who shall compose this body and her hospitality on this occasion will more than likely verify her just reputation of the past." * * * * * ** * * ** * * * * * * SOCIAL. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * A delightful and informal picnic was held in Johnstone's woods, an ideal spot for a picnic, Saturday after noon.
