The Sunday night session of
the Synod of the Potomac was
the most interesting of the ses
sions. The night was given over
to the laymen's missionary move
ment. Dr. Lampe. returned
missioniry from Japan, made a
brilliant address, going into the
general political unrest of
Europe and the Orient, the fer
ment largely meaning a desire
to change from absolutism
to republicanism. The general
change indicated an attentive
ear to hear Christianity's truth,
and a great challenge to the
Christian church.
President Apple, of the Wo
man's College at Frederick, Md.,
presided. The second speaker
of.the day was Mr. Chas. H. Ire
land of Greensboro, His train
had been delayed near Newton
by a freight wreck. After 9
o'clock he still had not come.
The presiding officer talked
against time but made a thrilling
impromptu missionary talk. The
entire congregation by its intent
ear testified that the flavor of
Apple was fine.
Mr. Ireland finally appeared
and held the big congregation
from 9 till 10 by the sheer earn
estness of his plea for the
laity to help do t\\e Church's
work inevangelizing the world.
He captured the the Synod, -
talking as bluntly to them as he
would to a Methodist Confer
ence. As an investment he in
sisted that missions paid. A
Chinese opium smoker was con
verted. He became a native
preacher. When Bishop Hendrix
was in China this man asked for
a more difficult work among
opium smokers. The Greensboro
church built him a little church
for these outcasts and he is do
ing a fine work. "I wouldnt
swap mv stock in that little
Chinese church," said Mr. Ire
land: "for the biggest block of
bank or cotton mill stock in
North Carolina," said the speak
er.
Synod organized Wednesday
night after an eloquent sermon
bv Dr. T. J. Hacker, of Roa
noke, Va., retiring president, on
"The Characteristics and Respon
sibilities of the Age." His
argument was that the church
must take an active part in solv
ing the problems of the age of
restlessness in the social, politi
cal, commercial and religiuos
realms, In our age remarkable
for its discoveries, its most re*
markable discovery is the re-dis
covery of Jesus. This was re
vealed through the great needs
of humanity. The discovery is
not a new Christ but a Christ
with a new message. It follow
ed the discovery of the power of
man.
Synod elected the following
officers: President, Rev. Dr.
James R. Bergey, of Altoona, Pa;
vice president, Rev, George A.
Wood, Chambersberg, Pa; cor
responding secretary, Rev. W. H.
Caus.v, Concord; stated clerk,
Rev, Lloyd E. Coblentz, Balti
more, Md,; treasurer, C, M*
Wolfe, Hanover, Pa,
Dr, J, M, Schick, Roosevelt's
pastor at Washington, spoke
Thursday night on ministerial
relief, He paid a splendid tri
bute to the self sacrificing minis
ter, who-is for one thing a great
nnanciar. He knew one who got
a jot of boy 3 through college on
a $6OO a year salary. One such
minister's pioneer work has
grown into one of Synod,s pow- 1
errul Classes. One aged minis-!
ter he knew helped to eke out a
living by weaving carpets at 60
cents a day.

I mission work, made the most
i brilliall and impassioned speech
of Syrod. on "The New Home
i Mission Call."
Toe speaker stated that within
| qu.-te recent times there has
; come to be a new conception of
: Home missions. "Modern stud
ents of the problem look at it
| from a new angle. We speak of
| the new South and the new
; West, the new psycholgy, the
jrew astronomx, the new Theol
! ogy. Behold I make all things
new!" The speaker stated that
the old conception was to save
a few individuals in the com
munity; the new conception re
cognizes the value of the indivi
dual but takes into account the
community as a whole. "The
fundamental principles in Jesus'
teaching were social democratic
rather than individual, he asser
ted, holding that Christ's refer
ences to the Kingdom proved
this. The new conception of
of home missions means the up
lifting of the whole community,
the whole social organization."
In speaking of the size of the
Reformed Church and its history,
he stated that the first Protest
ant church established on this
continent after its discovery by
! Columbus was a Reformed
church; the first church estab
lished in Pittsburg was a Re
formed church; the first sermon
preached west of the Mississippi
river was preached by a Reform
ed minister and he from the
South. The Church is now car
rying on a campaign to raise
$5OO.OK) for home missions and
the speaker declared that, while 1
many people think it oennet be {
[done, it will ultimately succeed. I
He plead for five thousand new
churches in America and stat
ed that the love of God is the
fulcrum by which the world can
be lifted to Christ,
Elder Murray G. Motter pre
sided at the Elders Conference
Friday morning and at night
Dr. A. B. Bartholomew, of Phila
delphia, made an able foreign
missionary address, "With the
Workmen on the Field." He
stated that the first and hardest
work of the missionary was to
learn the language of the people
to whom he is sent. "It is
claimed," said the speaker,
'"that one can learn all the lan
guages of Europe before he can
acquire that of China." He
showed the severe mental dis
cipline through which the miss
ionary must pass before he is
ready for actual work. "We can
never see all that the missionary
must endure before he can come
back to his own land. He must
bury himself in his work if he
would be faithful." He urged;
the importance of sending only j
men of exceptional ability to the
foreign fields. His work is that;
of a founder and originator and,
his first requirement is common
sense.
The speaker strongly declared
that the work of foreign missions!
is in reaching the individual.
Rev. J. S. Kieffer read the re
port of the committee on mis-j
sions Saturday morning. It call
ed for an offering of one million
dollars for foreign missions; that :
the moneys contributed for the
support of missions, home and
foreign be transmitted directly t
to the treasury of the boards; 1

There was an animated discus
sion Saturday night, when Synod
sat up till midnight, over the
question of Synod's indebtedness
to Catawba College. The North
Carolina Classis insists that this
amount is a little over $B,OOO.
Synod claims that it is about
$l,OOO less. Elder Geo. McCorkle,
seconded by Dr. Leonard, made
two able pleas for settling this
question before Synod adjourned
but the matter was referred to a
special committee.
Synod finally closed Tuesday

Dr. Murphy. The members gath

Their enthusiasm knew no
bounds in speaking of the hos
pitality accorded them in Hick
ory homes.
The picture of this fine looking
body of Zwingle's disciples in
the Corinth church will always
linger in the mind's eye of the
huge congregations which tilled
the house continuously at
the evening sessions. A
delightful feature was the bril
liant playing of the pipe organ
of Miss Rose Shuford, and the
singing of the large chorus choir.
These musical attractions were
matched by the work of Synod's quar

The president however recognized 1

4 "I moved to adjourn," said the white- i
haired Presbyter. "But I did not
recognize the motion," said the presi

as Synod gave Way to an uncontrolable
burst of laughter.

The amputation near the

and he attempted to clear it,
His arm was caught and drawn
into the gin and badily mutilat
ed. The machinery had to be
torn down before he could be
leleased. Dr Shuford was call

Synod Opposes
Church Union
Can't Unite 00 Basis ol 17th
Century Greeds
The motion to adopt the com
mittee report on union with the
Northern Presbyterian church
was adopted late Saturday night
by the Potomac Synod, but only
after a warm debate. One mem
ber of the committee. Dr. J. L.
Murphy, of the Hickory church,
did not sign the report. He had
one home at the time it was
taken up, suffering with a head
ache, not thinking it would come
up. Dr. Leonard, of Lexington,
made an eloquent plea for union,
a.id he and Dr. Sorber, of York,
Pa., held that Synod ought not to
take any action at this time bul
let the matter go down to the
Classes, which they contended
was the intention of the General
Si nod. Dr. J. Spangier Kieffer,
of Hagerstown, had also gone
home, suggesting that Synod
take no nction on that night. He
would have argued for ~end>ng
down to the Classes.
Dr. Hacker, Dr. Musser and
many others praised the report,
declaring that it did not oppose
union and was a beautiful contri
bution to the literature on the
subject. The report follows:
Your committee, to whom was
relet red the plan for closer union
with the Presbyterian church in
the U. S A., which has been sub
mitted by the General Synod to
this Synod and to other subordi
nate judicatories of the Reformed
church for information and dis
cussion, respectfully report,
Tne subject i 3 one of the grav
est importance and merits the
most careful consideration on the
part of Synods. Classes and Con
gregations. To your committee
the subject of Christian Unity
seems one of the most vital now
engaging the attention of the
Christian church. We believe
that we should lend our best ef
forts to any movement that looks
hepefudy to the ultimate re
union of Christendom; and we
believe, moreover that th way
towards the realization of this
most desirabl .- end i» through dif
ferent denominations, belqnging
to the same family of churches,
drawing cioser together in fel
lowship and in Christian activity.
Your committee however, feels
that there are grave objections to
the proposed plan for bringing
the Reformed church in the U- S.
and the Presbyterian church in
the U. S. into organic union. We
do not agree with the "Concur
rent Declarations," especially
that part which affirms that the
Westminster Confession of Faith
and the Heildeioerg Catechism
are "in essential agreement" or
sufficiently harmonious to be
made the joint basis for a united
church. W'e think there is seri
ous objection to making the
Form of Government aad the
Book of Discipline of the Presb>
terian church in the U. S. A.
the dole administrative standard
of the United Church. To do so
in the manner proposed would
mean, not 9 union of two equal
bodies, but the ultimate absorp
tion ot the smaller by the larger
church. We believe that a pe
culiar mission has been given to
the Reformed church in the U S.
which could not be satisfactorily
fulfilled in such a Union.
Your committee is moreover
convinced that a helpful union
between the two churches cannot
be attained on the basis of sev
enteenth century confessions of
faith. Since the formation of
the Westminster Confession of
Faith and the Heidelberg Cate
chism. God has enriched His
church with many a new experi
ence. He has given unto His
people new visions of His good
ness, truth and oeauty. Neither
the Presbyterian nor the Re
formed church is where it was
when the present standards were
adopted. Neither church would
now write its confession of faith
in exactly the same form in
which these now stand, and it
therefore seems an anomaly to
try to make these two confes
sions, so different in many re
spects, the confessional ba«is for
a new, united Church. We be
lieve that the only hopeful plan
for bringing the two churches
into a union, which will be just
and fair to both sides, and which
will conserve the genius and
spirit of both churches, will be
through the formation and adop
tion of a new concensus confes
sion, which shall express the best
thought and life of the present.
Furthermore, your committee
Children Cry
FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORI A
is appreher dve thar, sh-inti the
union of the two churches bo
pressed at the present, time in
accordance with the proposed
plan, the Reformed church win
hav-o the same experience as that,
which came to the Cumberland
Presbyterian church in a similar
effort. Certainly, if one mas
judge from what one hears, there
are many congregations unci in
dividuais, within our commun
ion, who are not prepared, at *h»s
tim , to take sucn a momentous
step.
We hence recommend the aCop
tion of the following resolutions.
1. Resolved, that this Synod i-.-;
in nearty svmonthy with unv
movement which looks hooefull
to the reunion of Christencm
2. Resolved, thai we recoct i z j .
tue necessity of related families
ot churches drawing into close
relations, as the first step to v I
ards the realization of the de
sired end.
3. Resolyed, that we do not re
gard the proposed plan for bring !
ing about an organic qmion be- |
tween the Presbyterian church i
in the U. S. A., anu the Reformed '
church in the U. S. as satisiac j
tory, equLable or just, and fo« !
the following reasons:
(1) We do not believe the
Westminster Confession of Faith ,
ard the Heidelberg Catechise to j
be sufficiently harmonious to be j
m .Je ihj joint baois for a united I
church;
(2) We regard the making of
' Tne Form of Government and;
the Book of Discipline of tin.,
Presbyterian Cnurch in the TJ. S.!
A.", the sole administrative stan- j
dard of the Un :ed Church, as ■
unfair to the Reformed Church
in the U. S., an 1 as calculated to j
bring about the simple absorption :
of the smaller by tne larger i
church, rather than a fair and ;
equitable union;
(3) We hence believe that a j
union of the two churches on the j
proposed basis will hinder rather,
man help »ne Reformed churen |
in the accomplishm*.nl of her)
God given mission.
4. Resolved. That it is the
judgment of tnis S; nod that any
hopeful and equitable union oi 1
the two cnuiches should be
based, not on the confessions ol I
a former age, but on a new Con- J
census Creed, which shall express!
the best life ana thought of the l
present day.
Respectfully submitted,

Seeking an interview with Dr.
Murphy on the union question he
told the Democrat that if he h d
boen present ne would have oi
fered a paper as a substitute, in
which he would have taken the I
ground that this Synod could n»t ■
decide as to the first statement
of Dr Schaeffer, which was mat
the Heidelberg Catechism and
the Westminster Confession are
"not in essential agreement,''
because this is the declaration of
General Synou's commiuee, |
which committee had three 3 ears
to examine .and compare th se
confessions and had declared mat
they were "in essential agree
ment."
He would have insisted fuither
that the General Synod had said
that the articles of union shouiu
be sent down for rejection or ap
proval to the lower judicator.es
of the church, which means tne
Classes and not the District
Synods.

Mr.Henry Sherrill, of the Iron Station
community, while on a visit to relatives
here last week, told an interesting
story concerning one of his neighbors,
Abe Hester, a man of 50 years, and a
well to farmer. He said that in
June Hester, who had evidently wor
ried about the drought and the loss of
crops until he became unbalanced-:
although up to the moment he ap
peared sane enough— got out in his
yard one dav and cursed the Al
mighty in all the variations of profanity
he could muster, because no rain fell
to releive the crops. Following this,
says Mr. Sherrill, he got out his shot
gun and discharged it three times in
the air as a token of his feeling towards
Diety. All at once he collapsed, and
from that day to this has lain helpless
on his bed, unable to move or speak,
recognizing no one, Physicians called
in found him completely paralized.

cannot all be sold raw. Canning
d ) Q s not seem to have entered ~
their mind and they are greatly

Mr. Flowers says the drought
is still on in Florida. The gen

any farther South than Way-
From one cantaloupe patch of

Correspondence to the Democrat.
Washington, Oct, 20. —Referring to
recent publications relative to the res
torations of the large fountain or geyser
which for many years played at Round
Knob, in sight of passing trains on the
Southern Railway, President Finley
sa d: "There seems to be some misap
prehensiod as to the restoration of this
geyser. On a trip which he made
through Western North Carolina several
months ago, Mr. George F. Baker, of
New York, noted that the geyser was
no longer flowing. Inquiries having
satisfied him that it would be practical
to restore it, he arranged to have the
work done entirely at his expense as
a testimonial of his appreciation of
great service rendered by his friend,
Col, Alexander B. Andrews, of Raleigh,
First Vice-President of the Southern
Railway Company, in the develop
ment of Western North Carolina.
"The work of restoration is now
under way and the new geyser will
soon be in operation, throwing a col
umn of water 250 feet in the air"

We are so positive our remedy will
completely relieve constipation, no
matter how chronic it may be, that we
offer to furnish it free of all cost if it
fails.
Constipation is commonly caused by
weakness of the nerves and muscles
of the large intenstine. To expect a
cure you must therefore tone up and
strengthen those organs and restore
them to healthy activity.
We want you to try Rexall Orderlies
