The president then read his annual report, which nhowed a very mate rial advance along all lines during the past bl-ennlum. ' The report Is as follows: . . PRESIDENT YODER'S REPORT, Dear Brethren In Christ: Through the mercy of our kind Heavenly Fath er, we have been permitted to meet here to-day In the tenth convention of the United Synod of Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South, to confer with each other concerning the work ln which we are engaged In the Master's kingdom. "Now unto him that Is able to do exceeding abun dantly above alt that we ask ot think according to the power that wdrketh In us, unto him be glory In the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages. world without end. Amen. It I a matter of profound grati tude to note the progress that our Southern Lutheran Church has mado In the past few years. . Since my first meeting with the United Synod In Wlnaton-Salem, May, 100, the cen tury memorial endowment has been Inaugurated and pushed to comple tlon and 110,000 raised and the sem inary property vastly Improved and enhanced In value. Within these six years, the orphans' home has become the property of the United Synod and the debt on the property of about tit. 000 has been nearly raised and quite recently a bequest of $10,000 for support of the home has been received. Within the same period, the wo man's forward movement and th mlaaton league, have done much to relieve the condition of the treaaury of the board of mission and enabled the board to aend other helper to Japan and to build a eptendld church la Atlanta and to do much In other point at home. . Within the name six years. Roan oke, Newberry, Lenoir and Elisabeth colleges have all added new build lngs. Increased the endowments and greatly Increased the attendance. Within this period. The Lutheran Visitor and Our Church Paper have been merged Into The Lutheran Church Vlaltor, the official organ of the United Synod and the publica tion Interests of Ihe Southern Church much Improved. Within this period, the lack of con fldence and the feeling of uncer talnty and apprehension aa to what question might at any moment be precipitated upon the Synod and cause Its dlMruptlon and the suapl- clon of sinister motive in others, have largely given way to confidence and frankness and mutual forbear ance. At Wlnaton-Hulem the Synod took a very decided forward movement. At Charleston that movement was ac celerated and at New Market we Isunced out Into the deep, and the large undertakings Inaugurated at New Market have nearly all been con summated. v hlle we have moved forward, yet much lies before ua. But with these recent achievement hind us we can, with Paul, thank God and take courage. While the century endowment haa been raised, our theological seminary need yet very, much to place It In the position It should occupy in tho development of the Southern Luther an Church. It needs more funds. more teachers, more student. It needs many more devoted supporters In all our Southern Synods. The the ological seminary should receive con siderable attention at this meeting. Our Interests should not overshadow this one, vital to our continued prog ress. A GIFT OF 110,000. It I with peculiar pleasure that I announce officially to the United Syn od that a bequest of 110,000 has been made to the united-Bynod and that the treasurer, Mr. C. H. Dula, haa re ceived a check for that amount from the executrix of Mr. F. P. Cover. Nine thousand dollar of thla amount la. to be held In trust for the or- ohana home, and the Interest to be used in support of the Institution. While. the board of missions ha been vastly helped by the effort of the women Of our Southern Church and by the league, and much haa bean accomplished ,at home and in Japan, yet the message from our Ja pan Conference to tne united nynoa hows u very much what we ought to do at once In Japan. A good Luther an school should be established In Japan. Our missionaries there In the field who' know the condition and need say there I but on aourse left for ns. and that l. to shoulder tho responsibility that God ha placed up on ua. and . establish a acl.ooL Are we ready-to meet these responsibiii tlesT - To "net bur faoee- steadfast ly" toward' .our duly there T That mat ter ahould receive aenoua consideration.- ' l' ! 4 r,.. u, u And while the board ha been ac tive along the line of home missions, we are yet far from occupying tha field. This Hontniana, with it amas ing . prosperity, opening up to im migration, ia a vast field and growing larger and more urgent day by day. COLLEGES NEED BETTER', 8UP- , , PORT.'.''- While the colleges have been do ing a great work and adding, to their buildings and endowments, and have enjoyed Increased patronage, yet they ned more, friends and supports and means to enable them to compete suc- raaafully - with the better equipped Ptate achool. Positive Lutheran , col- Ixgee mut be maintained and our .utheran people who have the mean mot support and endow them, If we t'tT merged' StoanWata been, mad the official organ of tho United Synod, The Lutheran Church Visitor ha not received the support It .need and . must have in order to maintain Ita character and usefulness to the Church. Thla ' matter should receive very ; earnest consideration. And while It 4 true that much of the former want of confidence, un certainty and suspicion has given way to a broader and more generous feel ing of brotherhood. It la yet true that some prejudice and a feeling of ap prehension exist between, the differ. ent Synods, Thl remnant of former unploanant condition will gradually and finally disappear aa we all come to appreciate more and more our con feaslons and conform more strictly to their teaching In doctrine and prac tic and as we labor and pray for a broader faith and deeper love, "Till w all come in unity of the faun, and of the knowledge of the Son of uoa. -mis is tne great taeai- to - ward which the Christian Church should aim. I herewith submit to you all letters and papers of an official character for your consideration and dlspoal- tlon. And again I desire to express to you my thanks for the honor, conferred upon me at Charleston four years ago, repeated at New Market two years ago, in calling me to preside over this body, and for the uniform cour- tesy extended to me at all times by every member of thl body. And may we all, "speaking the truth ln love, grow -up into him In all things, which Is the head, even Christ" The officers of the Synod were elected this afternoon aa follows: President, Rev. Dr. A. O. Volgt. Charleston; vice president. Rev. Dr L L. Smith, Strausburg, va.; secre tary. Rev. Dr. L. H. Hallman, Ppar tanburg, S. C; treasurer, C. H. Duls, Charlotte.

An Interest ing and sensational Incident occurred in the dining room of the Benbow Ho tel here at noon to-day. Waitresses serve the meals at tne Hen do w. au sorta of men come here and some of the girls may not be what their friends would have them be. A large man was eating at the table where a small girl was. The fellow asked the waitress if she could tell him the number of the room of a certain girl, whom he pointed out The little woman became Indignant and told htm In no uncertain terms that she would not give the name of the girl nor atMe number of her room. At thla the man said, 'Well, I wilt give you 110 to tell me whryyour room la" The words were hardly out of the man's mouth when the girl cut him In the back of .the head with a sharp- edged plate and broke hla scalp to the bone. Tha blood flew from the wound and the episode caused some excitement. It Is safe to say that the town and the vlxitors are with the girl. H. E. C. B. MR. J. II. 8 LOAN DEAD.

' ' One of the most Interesting fea-, turea about the farmers' convention here la the pretence of the old Steele Creek Band, an organisation that haa enjoyed wide popularity and much reputation for so. many years . In. Mecklenburg county. The band la composed entirely of farmers and all of them are able musicians. Their playing here pleases and greatly en livens the occasion of such a gather-. "R The attendance of farmers at the opening session of the convention at" . noon to-day was largely dencourag- !. . ' Ing. The opening address waa de- llvered by Hon. L.. 8. L. Patterson. V comint.tHloner of agriculture, and waa , . pointed and atrong. Governor Oleno . waa at his best In an enthusiastic ad- V drea of welcome, wherein the farm-' v era heard the Just laudation of their calling. The response to the Oov- amor's address was delivered by " Charles C Moore, president of the - association, who had also made a name and reputation by hi work aa preaident of the cotton grower aa- . soclatlon.
