NORTH CAROLINA SYNOD.
Presbyterians Meet in Winston and
Moid Profitable Session.
The Presbyterian Synod of North
Carolina was in tossion at Winston
Salem lat week. It was an able body
and much business connected with the
welfare of the Uenomlnatioa was
transacted.
Tbe choice of Wilmington as the
next meeting place, the resolution if
Rev. Dr. Morton seeking to stem the
tide of Sabbath desecration and the
forcible speech of Hr. Henry, Louis
Smith in the interest of Davidson
College, followed by tbe solemn cele
bration of the Lord's Supper, were the
principal features of the session
Thursday. There was no afternoon
I Eesslon. in order to permit tbe com
j mittees to get to work. After devo
J tional exercise's Moderator Vardel!
I called the Synod to order. Among
j other preliminary business, the re
' part of the condition of Union Semi
i nary , was read and referred.
! A. report from the faculty of Union
Seminary 'stated that a desire of t-ev
j tral members of the senior :ia.i'f
j the Seminarj- to make a canvass in
j the interest of securing candidate
! for the ministry was refused, because
! o fthe time which would necessarily
be taken from studies, and also be
jiause it was thought that more ma
i ture minds should be engaged in tlri
I work. The . faculty requested Synod
1 to appoint tome agent or agents, well
