He was a boss red-legged grasshop per at one time and acquired consid erable experience in still hunting. The St.- Paul Pioneer-Press say one of the significant facts in this campaign is the large number of voters who decline to say how they intend to vote at the coming elec tion. Democrats don't have any hesitancy in saying how they are go ing to vote. Superintendent Porter proposes to ignore the re-count in New York, but the New Yorkers don't propose to have it ignored. They will carry it into Congress, and if the next House be Democratic a new count for New York and probably a new census for thexonntry will be the result.

T PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD. SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION. Fourth Day The Orphan's Home Syriod ioal Commission's Beport Becom mendation for the Establishment of a University Home Missions Evangeli cal Labor Other Topics Discussed at the Afternoon and Evening Sessions. FRIDAY MORNING'S SESSION. Synod met at 9:30 o'clock and opened with prayer by Rev. R. Z. Johnson. Minutes of yesterday's session read and after slight correction, approved, Report of committee to examine Syn odical reports was received and adopted. Judge Avery asked, and was granted, the privilege of making a personal ex planation regarding an article in the JV. C. Presbyterian which inadvertantly misrepresented him. Unfinished business with regard to Orphan's ' Home was taken up and the report of the Board of Regency adopt ed as a whole. Reva. B. F. Marable, E. P. Penick and H. G. Gilland were ap pointed to fill vacancies on the Board of Regency. The clerk of Synod was instructed to write a letter of explanation to the ladies of Charlotte, with regard to the action of Synod in removing the Orphan's Home. Rev. Dr. Shearer, President of David son College, was heard on the report ot the Synodical Commission. This re port recommended the union of the Synods of Norths Carolina, South Caro lina, Georgia, and South Georgia, and Florida in the establishment of a school common to them all, to be, called a University, embracing all the courses of such an institution, . Recommendations for the manage ment of the institution were also made; also that committees on Christian edu- cation, whose duty it shall be to excite intest on this subject, be appointed by Synods and Presbyteries, and that min isters be urged to inform their people of the importance of education, especially female education. Dr. Shearer spoke at length on the report, which was re ceived, and will come up later as" unfin ished business. Home Missions, the order of the day, was then taken up. The annual report of the Synod's agent of Sustentation was read by Rev. Dr. Primrose. The report was received, the resolutions con sidered seriatim and adopted, and the reports-adopted as a whole. The -last resolution recommended the appoint ment of a committee of three to make some arrangements looking to aid for the church at Chapel Hill. Rev. F. H. Johnson, Mr. A. Leazer, and Rev. J. S. Watkins, D. D., were appointed that committee. The annual report of the Synod's agent of Evangelistic Labor was read by Rev. A. Sprunt. Report received and approved. The resolution embodied in the report was discussed byMr.A. Leazer and Rev. W. D. Morton, D. D. Mr. Leazer suggested simultaneous meetings in the interest of both Home and For eign Missions. Dr. Morton thought it advisable to present the two objects at separate times. Resolutions adopted. The annual reports of the Synodical Evangelist was read by Rev. W. D. Mor ton. U. D. Report received and ap proved. The assistant Evangelist, Rev. C. W. Maxwell, made an interesting report on his methods of work. He deplored the laxity of church members on the ob servance of family worship, and laid es pecial stress on the importance of this duty, and related some pathetic inci dents in connection with his labors. His report was received and adopted. Report of the standing committee on Evangelistic Labor was,read by Rev. Mr, Mcllwain. Report adopted, and resolutions of fered by committee considered seriatim and adopted. The report was adopted as a whole, Rev. Dr. Primrose, chairman of the Committee on Devotional Exercises, read the announcements for services on Sunday. By consent the entire time of this evening's session was allotted to the further consideration of Home Missions. . AFTERNOON SESSION. Synod met at 3:30 and proceeded to business. Report of committee to examine the Minutes of Albermarle Presbytery, re ceived and approved. Report of Committee on Minutes of General Assembly, received and ap proved. Report of Committee to re-assess Albermarle Presbytery, received and adopted. Rev. F. W. E. Peschau of St Paul's Lutheran Church, this city, was intro duced to the Synod 'and invited to sit as a visiting brother. Rev. C. Miller, Rev. Dr. J. H, Smith, and Elder J. A. Gilmer were appointed a Committee on Bible Cause. Report of Committee on Records of Mecklenburg Presbytery, received and approved. Report ot Committee on ieave . oi Absence received and approved n . i :t0 r Minoi wuiiwuw ura.uu- KJ1 Jl JJLo Orange Presbytery laid -on the table. The order of the day was then taken up. The first topic was "Our obliga tion to reach- the poor of North Caro lina with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the best means of meeting this ob ligation." On this topic Rev. E. W. Smith spoke. The first part, he said, needed no discussion. In reply to the last part he said, men and money were the necessary means. The scarcity of men for this work intensifies the need of money. The fewer men the higher the salaries that must be paid. The bet ter the salary the better the man, the better the man the better the work. He thought the cause of the lack of money for the work lay almost entirely with the preachers in their failure to preach to their people, in scrirltural pro portion their duty connected with the monied interest of the church, and the danger of the great sin of coyetousness. The Greek words expressing covetous ness mean the greed of gain and the love of money. Pastors should preach constantly that covetousness is the most dangerous, damning, most insiduous and unsuspecting sin of the age. Failure to preach this is failure of duty to God. The only antidpte for covetousness is systematic, self-denying giving. Don't talk about money but teach them the duty of entire consecration, which in volves means as well as self. Pastors should give personal instructions on this point. Consecration is not complete until it reaches self-denial. If pastors will do their duty the results of the com ing year will be unparalleled. A resolu tion bearing on this subject was dock eted. The next topic was ''The ministerial qualifications for reaching the poor suc cessfully," which was discussed by Rev. P. R. Law. Mr. Gladstone said no Church can stand unless its ministers or priests can command the respect of the people. We want not weaklings and ignorant men to preach the Gospel, but men of power and culture. Paul says the minister should teach the people. To teach, he must have knowledge. Evangelists, who go first to destitute places to her ald the Gospel, should be well informed, because of the fact that first impressions so materially shape the minds of the peo ple. It requires morejpower. culture and earnestness to work successfully among the poorthan any other class. Those who work among the poor must identify themselves with that class; he must visit them and above all, car ry love in his heart that he may feel that he who is redeemed of the Lord. however poor, is yet possessed of the greatestfcWealthfc That wealth the min ister has the' privilege of offering the poorest and lowliest. The next topic was "Presbyteri an ism suited to the masses, dis cussed by Rev. W. S. Primrose, of Raleigh.' He first spoke of the con stitution of the apostolic churches, giv ing Scriptural references to sustain his position, and comparedjthe present sys tem of the Presbyterian Church with that constitution. He then traced the present system back to the early centu ries. That Presbyterian ism is suited to the masses is proven by its apostolic origin; its catholicity; its faith; which faith he explained fully; by its simple services, its simple requirements for church mem bership; by encouraging popular and higher education; but said that the ministry of those not so highly educated should not be despised, and wishes that the church had many such as Mr. Fife, who ought to be ordained; whom they could receive and instruct. By its love of civil and religious liberty; by affording the best home training of its children, and by its missionary activity, home and foreign. If the masses are not reached it is not the fault of the system, but our own fault. Let us look at past successes, thank God, and go forward to greater efforts. The next topic, "Lay Evangelization," Was discussed by Rev. J. Rumple, D. D He compared the church to an army of skeletons, always on a peace footing, but said the church presented the strange spectacle of being an army of officers; that is, the officers are doing all the work. He held that it was the duty of every church member to do something, the difference of work being a difference in taleat. This would be general evangelization. Evangeli zation means preaching. Lay evangeli zation means laymen preaching. Is it the duty of every man who thinks he can speak for Christ to go out constant ly and permanently to preach without further recognition of the church? The church has the characteristics of a gov ernment or kingdom, which have cer tain men chosen for government. No man can assume the official duties of the governor, the judges of the courts, however competent, until so chosen, nor "can a lawyer practice his profession nn til he is licensed by the State. Shall the church be less careful of the great interests of its ministry? We, as minis ters, must comply with the established rules of the church in which we are re quired to guard well the ministry, The Scriptures are the true test, and they .have laid down the plan by which the WHOLE NO. 7.510 ministers are to be chosen and sent out. The ordinary preachers should be or dained and set apart for the work by the laying on of hands, Are these not ex traordinary gifts in which exceptions may be made. K a man should work miracles in our midst, we would not for bid him. But these extraordinary jfts have passed away, and the church is left to the ordinary way of chosing its Ministers. Paul, Barnabas, Timothy and Titus, were all ordained. Where ability to speak for Christ is found, it ought to be exercised, perhaps tentative ly for a while, but in a short while set apart by ordination. The church wants its best force inan ordained ministry. It is the duly of the presbytery when it finds a man whose mouth the- Lord has opened to go to him and instruct him in his duty. EVENING SESSION. Synod met at 8 p. m. and proceeded to business. Report of the Judicial committee was received, and committee discharged. Report of the committee on Minutes of Concord Presbytery was received and approved. Report of the committee on report of Trustees of Synod, was received and approved. After deyotional exercises the order of the day was taken up. The first topic, "The necessity and powers of the Evangelist" was spoken on ,by Rev. W. D. Morton, D. D. He said the chuich of God is a spiritual temple, the human building of which is the evolution in time of the plans made in eternitv. Every child of God is a stone in this grand temple and, each stone has its office. The human builders often make mistakes by neglecting some particular part of the work. Were it not for the guiding hand of God the symetry would be destroyed. The danger of the present time is the neglect of the poor. We must not only dig out the fair stones from the quarry, but go to the bed rock, and use all kinds. The calls for this work are the heterogenous population, the masses in the great city and the ignorant poor. The widening gap between capital and labor can only be bridged by love to God. The tendency of the city churches to move uptown away from the masses, has caused independent evangelization by Young Men's Christian Associations and other organizations. Thev may make a mistake, but they reach the poor. jJur duty as a church is to meet this demand. The highest evidence of Apostolic succession is to preach to the poor. The plain duty of the Synod and presbyteries is to see that the Gospel is preached to the poor in their borders. "iie. powers of the Evangelist are to preach the pure Word of Truth, to preach Christ earnestly, and tenderly, to set in order the elements of the church constitution, the ordination of deacons and elders and the organization of churches, and to assist feeble pastorates. The harvest is great and the laborers few; pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers,." Secure good workmen who will draw the stones from the quarry and assist in the com pletion of the Lord's great temple. The last topic on the programme, "The Evangelistic Work of the Synod," was discussed by Rev. A. Sprunt. He called attention to the lamentable spiritual condition of parts of the State. The Bible Society after canvass by its agent reports, one family in every ten in the State without a Bible. Some are as ignorant of God's word as the heathen in China. He gave interesting statistics of the church membership in the State amoug all denominations and showed that there are more than 300,000 adults who are not Christians; many of them totally ignorant of the way of salvation There is no other agency Ordained un der the sun to reach these people but the church of God. The responsibility is on all denominations. Our duty is not to convert these souls, that is God's work. It is to preach the word to the peple. We cannot say to God "we have- done as thou command ed. and yet there is room," until we meet this duty. The command is ''put on the whole armor of God, The church lays all stress on all parts of that armor except that of the "feet shod with the gospel of peace." We have beenstanding still. There is no conflict between home and foreign missions; it is all the Lord's work. "As I have loved you," Christ said. How did He love us? By giving His life for us; so we ought to. lay down our lives for the brethren. There must be willingness and consecration on our part. It is in the power of the 26,000 Presbyterians in the State, if they will, to evangelize the entire State in two years. We can do what we want to do, The fault is largely due to the unfaith fulness of the ministers. They do not feel the importance of the situation The people must learn of the needs through them. The Synod of Ken tucky, with a membership of 15,000, has resolved to raise this year $20,000 for Synodical mission work, The Synod of North Carolina with a membership of 26,000 has to-day re solved to raise $3,000.

An appeal was made for pledges of sums to aid Synodical Missions during the year in addition to the resolution of Synod. More than -$2,000 was pledged and a collection was taken for that ob ject. Dr. Morton introduced a resolution recommending that the Synod call Rev. E. W. Smith, of Greensboro, to evange listic work, which was adopted. Wednesday, November 11th, 1891, was fixed as the time of next meeting. Report of the Committee on Syste matic Beneficence was received and ap proved. Ordered printed in appendix of minutes.
