LUTHERAN SYNOD. Determines to Hold Next Annual Meeting at Elloree-Interesting Reports Made. The State. Charleston, Nov. 12.-The Lutheran synod of South Carolina made rapid progress today in clearing its calen -dar of the business for the adjourn ment of the S6th annual session, al though the formal adjournment will not be effective until the ordination ceremonies. 'the session today was opened with ,devotional exercises, led by Rev. Y. -von A. Riser, who was followed by the Rev. C. A. Crabtree, superintendent of the Orphan's home at Salem, Va., an institution of the United synod, in which are cared for SS children, with four additional children to be sent to it in the next week or two from the South Carolina synod. Mr. Crabtree '" made an interesting talk, in which he told of the man4al aid industrial -work of the institution, with a trade or means of making a livng when they are turned out of the orphanage. Rev. A. J. Stirewalt, missionary to Japan, made a strong talk on the sub ject of missions, dwelling with partic -ular emphasis on the needs of the mission which he especially looks -after. The 'sum of $25,000 has been raised, but Mr. Stirewalt wanted as much again. He said that there were certainly 300 students waiting for ad mission to the institution. He is anx ious to see a Japanese Lutheran church and the opening of the college -will be a strong step toward this end. Laymen's Movement. The laymen's Movement was pre sented in an inspiring talk by Rev. E. C. Cronk. which brought a resciution of strong indorsement from the floor of the synod. One of the most satisfying reports - of the session was the announcement -of Rev. M. 0. J. Kreps, financial agent -of the theological seminary, that the 'work of construction of the new semi nary at Columbia will be begun within ten days. The erection of the new seminary will provide the facilities which the various synods of the united body have long wanted, and the an nouncement that work is about to start was very acceptable. Mr. Kreps said that the sum of $9,000 is needed, and he made an appeal for the addi tional funds. The report of Treasurer A. H. Kohn 'was another very satisfactory an nouncement. The report showed the following: Received for synod funds, *$6.520.45; for home missions, $1,192; for foreign missions, $1,,610; other objects, $2,961.92, making a total of $12,284.37. This amount, with the sum raised at the Woman's Mission ary convention recently at Columbia, makes a total of $17,284.37 raised by mnembers of the South Carolina synod this year. Of importance to the synod was the adoption of the theses of the call and ordination of the ministry, which came over as unfinished business from the session of last year. The various theses were read and discussed and adopted in turn. Site for Home. It was also decided to add an ad ditonal day for the work of the ses -sions by meeting on Tuesday, instead of Thursday hereafter. Through Rev. S, P. Koon reported -that a lady in Lexington county had -offered the synod a tract of land for -the erection of a home for the aged and disabled people of the church.
