THE PROCEEDINGS TODAY The session of the Maryland Lutheran synod this morning, which was brought to a final adjournment at 1 o’clock, was opened by devotional exercises, conducted by Rev. Dr. W. H. Gotwails. A vote by tell- ers wes taken upon the election of three directors of the Thelogical Seminary, and the Rev. C. S. Albert, Rev. P. H. Miller and Mr. I. C. Slater, the latter of this city, were chosen to fill the vacancies. While the tellers were engaged in tabu- lating the votes which resulted as above a standing resolution was presented by Dr. Studebaker, providing that in all cases where a vote by ballot is taken the vote shail be declared by the president to be clesed after a sufficient opportunity has been offered to those entitled to vote to deposit their ballot, and that no ballot should be thereafier be received by the tellers. This action was taken because a ruling was made by President Butler this morning that votes could be received while the count of a ballot was in progress. The committee on the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society showed a total membership of 3,633, the largest enroliment in its history, and a marked increase of spirituality and unity among the members. Last year’s receipts were $3,387.50. Boxes rlued at $1, 5 were sent to mi ie Pastors were ed to set apart a day for women’s work. The committee recommended the passage of a resolution which in the preamble declared that the work of the organization had been a most valuable supplement to the board, and that the women's societies were not less valua- bie and commendable in training the chil- dren and the young people of the churches in the spirit of giving and filling homes and missions alike with the spirit of mis- si nd recommending the organization of women’s home and foreign mi 80 ies m atl the churches. unanimously passed. P53 The procecdings ments Became then Conspicueas. began to be ex- tremely interesting. Althcugh the members ef the synod had frequently declared that there were no “radical” or “conservative” elements in their body it developed that they were very prominent nevertheless, and in the dis. ion which followed over the question of ng the debt of $12,000 now resting on the Theologica! Seminary of Get- t rg, Pa., the animation dis some of the delegates almost reached the intensity of animosity. Rev. Dr. Domer of this city, when a resotutic resented by the Rev. Mr. Dunbar which ed that the debt be apportioned among the churches, made a very plain and interest- ing address, during which he stated that there 5S a great possibility that the Theo- logical Seminary might lese its Lutheran- ism. He announced that he would submit @ proposition at the next synod, if neces- sury, to change the constitution so as to provide as foilows: “That in the appropriation and distribu- tion of funds coming from our churches for beneficiary education we recommend dis- crimination in favor of the purely denomi- national colleges. and of the students at- tending such colleges and seminaries.” Rev. Dr. Dunbar made a very strong ar- gument in defense of the seminary, ana then the Rev. Dr. Parsons entered the dis- cussion. He declared that the Pennsylva- nia College and Theological College, whicl: are both located at Gettysburg, comprised virtually one institution. The college, in his opmion, was first in importance, but while the Maryland synod had delegates interested in the conduct of the seminary they had none in the college, despite the fact that it was relatively greater and of more iinportance. He said that discourtesy had been thrown in the face of the synod by the board of trustees of the college, and that it had put its affairs in the dark and refused information about them. Dr. Pa: son said he had received ietters from 1a men on the subject, including one:from the wealthiest man in’ the church, who said: “We cannot give money to Gettysburg when the president of Pennsylvania College stands in the synod and says it is not de- nominational Wanted Laymen to Know. Dr. Dunbar objected to this personality, but Dr. Parson maintained his right to proceed, and continued. Dr. Parson said he wanted to let the laymen know what was behind all the affairs of the seminary and the college. He had also been told by another influential Lutheran that after the speech of Dr. Valentine, the president of the college, in the college board, he could never do anything more for the Theological! Seminary. During the discussion which followed Dr. Domer took occasion to remark Luther- ans sometimes did not seem to know whether he was a Lutheran or not, and he was somewhat uncertain about it himself when he heard the interpretation placed upon conservatism by some of the dele- gates present. After further discussion a_ resolution passed that all churches and church coun- cils be invited to consider the best way of meeting the obligation now resting up- on the seminary, and authority was given for the appointment of an agent to visit the varicus congregations and secure their assistance. Another Animated Debnte. Another exciting debate occurred when Dr. Dunbar presented a paper signed by Rev. S. A. Hedges, George M. Miller, W. H. Dunbar, J. G. Butler, and T. J. Yost, stating that they had signed their names to the report submitted yesterday even- ing, and containing the word ‘‘conserva- tive,” with the understanding “now” that the word ‘conservative’ is used in historic sense, and not in any present partisan application. The names of the other members of the committee who signed the report were Rev. M. L. Beard, Rev. George S. Bowers, and Messrs. A. B, Albert, Cornelius Eckhardt, Albert F. Fox, F. W. Kakle and E. H. Sharretts. This paper had been tabled yesterday, but Chairman Butler decided thet it should be brought up. After a very long discussion, in which the expres- sions indulged in by the various delegates who participated became almost bitter, the Rev. Dr. Butler withdrew his decision that the paper could be considered, and the de- bate which had been participated in by Dr. Valentine and Dr. Garlan on one side and Dr. Parson and Dr. Studebaker of Bal- timore on the other was brought to amend. A few matters of details were attended to, and the synod adjourned to meet sgain in Taneytown, Md., next October. Significance of Yesterday’s Sessions. The decisive course taken by the synod yesterday morning in sustaining the board of trustces of Pennsylvania College in their action which resulted in the removal of Dr. Baugher from the chair of Greek, was followed at the afternoon meeting by a still more significent episode. ‘The report made by Rev. L. M. Beard, chairman of the delegation to the last gen- eral synod, contained the following par- agraph. “There was also.a spirit of conservatism manifest in the convention, which made it certain that thtre would be no departure by that body from the well-established lines of the Lutheran Church doctrine and life. The matter of sound doctrine Being above all others with Lutherans, your del- egation dwells with emphasis upon the con- Leh vative character of the recent conven- tion.” The use of the word “conservative” caused an exciting discussion, which was participated in by several of the delegates belonging to what is known as the “radi- cal” element, led by Dr. Valentine, who opposed the use of the word, and by Drs. Studebaker, Owen, Bowers and others, who represent the “conservative” element. Dr. Studebaker was particularly vigorous in his remarks. The taking of the vote was watched with intense interest, as it was seen that the question would settle which = Hecht & Company, 515 Seventh Street. = for tomorréw—just as all offerings heretofore—stand unequaled.

The preparation of plans for suah a structure as is wanted over Rock creek at this point involves the most care- ful computation, and they must be reliable.
