GidsSens Fon PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHSYNOD Important Matters up Wore Gedartown Atlanta, Oa., Oct. 12—The Synod ot the Presbyterian- church of Geor gia will meet In Cedartown Tues day, November 9, ot 7:30 p. m., and will continue In session for about ten day*. The Rer. W. W. Powell 1* pastor of the Preabyterlan church at Cedartown. He and his people have already begun their preparations for entertaining the synod. The people of all denomina tion* are throwing open their houses and offspring tbelr hospitality to the expected visitors. The Synod Is composed of all the Presbyterian ministers of Georgia and one elder from each Presbyteri an church. There are 120 ministers and.232 churches. One matter of vita! Importance before the Synod will be the elec tion of an evangelist to take charge of the evangelistic work or the en tire synod. This la a new ofllce. The committee In charge of this work Is prepared to recommend two aamea to the Synod. Both are resi dents of other svnod* and either would bo a great addition to the Presbyterian forces of Georgia. The Synod will probably give a good deal of time to the dlacnaslon of Christian education. The last General Assembly elected Rev. E. E. Boggs, formerly president of the University of Georgia, secre tary of the assembly’s executive committee on schools and colleges. The Presbyterians of Georgia are showing a great Interest In Chris tian education at this moment. The Agnes Scott College,-at Decatur, Is entering upon a campaign to make Agnes Scott a million dollar Insti tution. The Presbytery of Atlanta la busy reorganizing the Donald Fraser sHhool at Decatur - with tbo hope of making it the best prepara tory school for boys. The Savannah Presbytery ts making, a great suc cess of the school at Blackshear. The Presbytery of Athens Is en thusiastic over the school at Na- coochee under Its new management. Thsx want to make It a great school for the mountain boys. All of these Institutions will no doubt come ta for '<i‘ full share of discussion at the Synod. The "elect Infant clause” Is np again. The Preabyterlan Confession of Faith say*: “Elect Infanta, dy ing Infancy who are damned, bnt saved by Christ through the spirit, who worketh when, and where, and how He plesseth." Tho framer* of the Confession wrote this statement to tell how Infants are saved and to toll how many oro saved. It does not say that all are saved. On the other hand It docs not say that any are lost. But there are many In the church who fee 1 that tho word elect implies that there are al so non-elect Infants. They want | that word elect stricken out. That ! would definitely cement the Confes sion to the doctrine of the universal I salvation of Infants. The church Is already committed ta that doc- ' trine. In 1902 the general as- jsembly of the Southern church- passed, almost unanimously, this resolution: "This assembly Is fully persuaded that the language em ployed In chapter X, section 2, of our Confession of Faith, touching Infants dying In infancy, does not teach that there are any Infants dy ing Intnfancy who are damned, but Is only meant to show that those who die In Infancy are saved In a different manner from adult per sons. who are capable of being out wardly called by tho ministry of the word. Furthermore we are per suaded that the Holy Scriptures, when fairly Interpreted simply warrant u* In believing ilia-, all in fants who die In Infancy are ho- eluded. In. ^hr election of grace, and are . regenerated, and saved by Christ through the spirit.” Nothing could be more explicit. But a large element In the church wants that pnt Into the Confession. , The general .assembly of the whole church a year ago asked the 63 Presbyterians of the church to say whether they wanted any change In the infant clause Of ihe Confession. A large majority answered In the ' affirmative. The last assembly appointed a commit- tee, consisting of the Rev. Dr. W. W. Moore, president of the Union Theological Seminary, Richmond, Va., and Rev. Dr. W. L. Dingle, ot Atlanta, to take the answers of the Presbyteries, and to study them, and to recommend to the next ai- eembly what change onght to he made In the famous Infant danse. This' whole qnestlon It now up for discussion before the Piesbyterles and Synods. $1.75 For this Rocker. We have a very large line of ROCKERS.

HOSPITAL PLAN Atlanta, Ga., Oct U.—The state prison commt»Ion la expected to meet at the state farm In MUledge- vllle Wednesday to conalder the plans and specifications which bars already been submitted • for the pro posed state tuberculoati hospital and reformatory. It la already apparent to the commissioners that the appro priation for they* buildings Is woful- ly insufficient. T{ fact according to the statement of one of the commis sioners the (8,000 appropriation for both tuberculosis and reformatory bulldlnga la hardly more than la r ’ITT* ■ :( needed for the erection of one of thefe. buildings. "The appropriation Is $8,000," said, one of the commis sioners, "truth' to tell, It will take 88,000 to erect one of the .buildings. We really need $10,000 for the** atruoturea.” "How are w* to gat ltt” "We have a plan, apparently quits satisfactory, but we are not yot ready to give It out We bellov* that all the funds needed will bs se cured from this source.” In the erection ot the bulhllngl convicts will be used, that la to tay convicts as art speciality trained for the work. Richmond county will furnish Its quota. The wrok of theaa prisoners on the county tuberculosis hospital was brought to tbs attention of tbo commission by Judge William F. Eve, of Augusta, who has greatly aided the commission In getting up plana and specifications for the pro posed hospital and reformatory. Aa la known. Judge Eve’s work, In con nection with ths Richmond county hospital aided by the county con victs attracted great attention and has been the subject' of mnch favor able comment ' His asaLstanco and advice was asked by the prison com mission in the' preparation of plans and he will probably be consulted la the sward ot the contract for th'S erection of the building. - Dr. I. P. Atkinson, physician of the state farm, and anpertntendsnt ot tb« re formatory, have also greatly aided the oommlaalon In the preparation ot plans and apeelficatloM. ‘Just when the contraot for ths building* will ha awardsd has not boon determined but It Is considered probable that the commtsiton will arrive at aoms definite conclusion at lta conference In MUlsdgsrllls this week. The two buildings, as planned, on the state farm property will be erected with' an oy* single to convenience and durability. Tbs commissioner* will require Of Its contractors the. very host Work, and the huDdlnBi will he of a Uni of which the atate may well feel proud.
