Editor of Daily SLtandabd f In font paper of June 5 th y 6a as-' 8ert that jou hoped, to put to rest the idea that North Carolina College could not be removed by the church. I haye never heard it asserted that the church conld not remove or bnild another college this is not the contention of those who are op posed to the recent action of Synod. Every Lutheran knows that the Synod -ia purely an- advisory body, and has no power to legislate (indes pendent or for the church) unless especially mstruoted by the church to tnact curtain measures for her vf-lfare, etc., and in that case the imtter must have been discuseed by the congregation 8 and the delegates to Synod instructed as to their duty in the premies. Now the removal of N. 0. College was not discussed by the church and not a single min ister or layman was instructed in the matter. .Not only so, but the minister that introduced the resolu tions adopted by Synod has retired has no charge at d therefore could not have been instructed. Again, the Synod being purely an advisory body, cannot bay, hold or transfer real estate. She- recognizes that and in her constitution she says all each matters shall be managed by boards of trustees. That is all right and proper. This clearly Bhos that Synod never considered herself supreme or sovereign . She Cinnot command unless so instruct ed the church. The Lutheran church differs from all other des nomiautiona in her church governs ment. The power rests with the people. Each congregation is sov erign, and any one or all the cons gregations in North Carolina can absolve their connection with the N. C. Synod and still be thoroughly Lutheran and not be amenable to anybody. Every minister of Synod knows this is so. Tboae . are some of the reasons why objection is taken at the action of Synod in regard to the college. Again, I have never seen or heard a single argument why Mt. Pleasant . is not a suitable place for the col lege and I don't believe one can be produced. Are the Alumni defis cient in the education ? How many of them are ornaments in the church ministers, and in other profes sions. They compare favorably with graduates of other colleges on or off the railroad. I learn that U waa asserted at Synocr that Mf, Pleasant was not in touch with civis lization, and ifsilence gives consent, it was the voice of Synod. If Synod really believes this it is her bounded doty to endeavor to 'elevate them, and there is no better way than to plant an institution of learning in their midst and support it and teach them civilization. They haye always ehown a commendable zeal for the church and deserve the care of Syn ' d instead of insult. Tow, Mr ifditor, as to the loyalty of the board of trustees. I have been an humble member of that body for over twenty years and I have never seen any disposition on the part of the board to antagonize Synod in any matter whatever up to the present, and when you consider the fact that six members of the board live in Mt. PI asp fJ j - W WWW others in 8t. John's congregation how can you or aSiy one else be sur prised at their taking umbrage it the action and declarations of Synod. They know that Synod had no authority from the church to take steps for the removal of N. C. College; that j her action was an assumption of power unprecedented in the. history of the church. The church may endorse the action of Synod' but it has to be done vet When the church speaks on the subject and instructs Synod to act no one will prove disloyal; until that is done there is no lesral Dower on earth to surrender the charter of n. C. College or have it amended but the. board of trustees. " In conclusion let me say that Synod may build another college either at Winston, 'Salisbury or Con cord" but unless I mistake the senti ment of the friends of N. C. College she will remain where she is and the decendants of the men who founded it will run and support it in the fus ture as they have in the past, with out the patronage of Synod. i fl C McAllister. A Close Fiebt Coming. - - On Tuesday June 13th at Latta Jfark, Charlotte, N. C, there will be a battle royal be tween the old ! time enemies the St. Mary's College baseball team and the Mountain Island base ball team. When these teams meet the game is certain to be interesting, for to use a common expression they "play fair ball.,' These two teams have now met four times in the last few years, and the record now stands, St. Mary's won 3, Mountain Island won 1. j Every game has been decided by the narrow margin ot one run, the last game not being decided until the last man was out in the last inning, Mountain Island winning by a score of 9 to 8. This was the first game Mountain Island ever won from the College boys but, they say they willj surely get the; game in Charlotte. .On the other hand the boys of St. Mary's say they can't afford to suffer another de feat at the bands of the Islanders. So both teams are practicing hard, and each is confident that victory must rest with his side. Congressman Bland Dylnar. i !
