Prom Mt. rieasant Heard'-Full Dis-
cussion-Committee '.Continued Till
Coming Me eting of Syuod. ,
The Evangelical ' Lutheran
Synod of North Carolina con-
vened on 'Tuesday the 20th at
Salisbury tp hear and act upbn
the report of tho committee au
thorized to receive bids for the.
location of North Carolina Col
lege. There' were a goodly
number present and much inter
est manifested, though it was far
short of a full synod.
The order of procedure was
arranged by "special committee
and-tended to the greatest dis
pat.ch of -business while the
widest range of latitude was
given for every one to be heard
who was there as a duly author
ized representative.
It was evident that the bid of.
"Salisbury was not an inducement
sufficient to warrant its immedi
ate acceptance.
Hon. - Jno.- S Henderson and
Mr. Jno. M Julian presented the
claims of Salisbury.
The Tennessee Synod had
placed in'the hands of the com
mittee an overture, not as an in
ducement to remove the college
Jrom Mt. Pleasant, but in the
event that the Synod- should fix
upon removal said synod would
tender to the North Carolina'
Synod a half interest in Lenoir
College in consideration of co-op-orative
union of college interests
of the two Lutheran Synods in
North Carolina.
This inducement is defined as
a.n unqualified iialf interest in its
suitable lands and buildings val
ued at $20,000,with the same in
I erest , in' twelve good building
lots. . Half the number of the
board of directors would be
chosen by each synod.
Lenoir ' as a college is enjoy
ing a fair degree of prosperity, J
having enrolled this session 103
students," 80 of whom are in the
college classes. ' ' .
Revs. R A Yoder, D. D.; .WA
Deatan'.and 6 L Miller repre
sented the Tennessee Synod and
manifested "the, most fraternal
spirit of that body at the same
time advising against any pre
cipitate action ut desiring that
a committee of of the two Synods
arrange all essential and. even
minor details.
Messrs. C McAllister, Jonas
Cook, C G Heilig and D D Bar-
r:er, the later the lay delegate
irom Holy Trinity, represented
the claims '& Mt. Pleasant
rijainsjt removal. Capt. Cook
road a ratner caustic protest from
Holy Trinity congregation set
t -i as forth its grievance against
;uch as would
result from the
c ynod's conteniplated action of
rnmnval.
A preamble and resolution
prevailed setting forth that in
view of th? momentous import-
:ice of such action and ' the ab
' ence of delegations from the syn
od whose counsels were needed
that it would be unwise to take
action at present for the removal
of the college and that the same ;

listic engagements in New York,
under the direction of the Union
Ministers Conference, people
were so anxious to get into the
Academy of Music on Sunday af
ternoon to hear his final sermon,
that they not only packed every
seat in the great building, but
broke the door down to gain ad
mittance, and four policeman
were summoned to keep the
crowd back.
In his lecture on Christian Citi

he m variably .has some strong
things to say with reference to
the solution of many' of the most
practical questions.of the day.
