| LUTHERAN SYNOD MEETS.
Interesting Sessions Held at Pine
Grove Mills This Week.
Approximately seventy ministers
and lay delegates representing 88 con-
gregations and 18,000 members at-
tended the sixty-eighth annual con-
vention of the Central Pennsylvania
Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church, held in the Lutheran church at
Pine Grove Mills this week. The Syn-
on opened on Monday evening with the
synodical sermon by the president,
Rev. W. M. Rearick, of Miffiinburg.
The synodical report on Tuesday
morning showed that there are within
tke bounds of the Synod 86 Sunday
schools with a membership of 15,000.
But as evidence that men are derelicts
in church work there are only eight
men’s societies with a total of 290
members, while there are 64 women’s
organizations with a membership of
2,000, and 50 young peoples societies
with a membership of 1,800. The
church property within the bounds of
the Synod is valued at $1,000,000,
while $163,000 were contributed last
year for all expenditures.
Another deplorable fact was
brought very forcibly to the attention
of Synod and that was the reluctance
of the young men of the present to
enter the ministry, as there was not a
. single candidate for ovdination or li-
censure to preach, and not a singie
student applied for synodical aid to go
to college, a condition unknown with-
in the bounds of Synod in the past fit-
ty years.
A very interesting talk on christian
education was made by Dr. Charles S.
Bauslin, of Harrisburg. Dr. Bauslin
is secretary of the board of educatien :
‘and has under his direct supervision
| twenty-six Lutheran colleges in ‘the
{ United States. Dr. I. Chantry Hoft-
board of home missions and church ex-
tension, made a splendid talk on the
missionary work of the church. On
| Tuesday evening Mr. I. F. Mellinger,
of Letonia, Ohio, spoke in the intex-
. est of the Brotherhood and urged the !
‘men to take a greater interest in
| church work in general.
WEDNESDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.
At Wednesday morning’s session of
Synod, in addition to the transaction
of routine church business synodical
' officers were elected as follows: Pres-
ident, Dr. W. M. Rearick, Mifflinburg;
! secretary, Rev. Charles N. Shindler,
{ Lock Haven; statistician, Rev. John
| F. Harkins, State College; treasurer,
Rev. W. P. Horton, Selinsgrove.
Considerable inteiest centered in
the election of ministerial and lay
delegates to the convention of
United Evangelical Lutheran church
of America to be held in Buffalo, N.
. Y., in October, 1922, and the balloting |
resulted as follows:

i ley, Rebersburg; J D. Beck, West Mil-
ton; J. A. Beck, Nittany.
At the afternoon session Dr. George
Brack, of Baltimore, presented the
question of establishing theological
! seminaries in India, Japan and other
eastern countries for the purpose of
‘educating missionaries for foreign
{ work. Dr. F. P. Manhart, of Selins-
i grove, talked on the question of the
‘unification of all Lutheran churches
‘under one banner to be known as the
United Evangelical Lutheran church
of America. C. H. Brandt, of Altoo-
‘na, representing the Anti-Saioon
League, made a brief talk.
Dr. C. B. Hay, of Baltimore, repre-
senting the deacaness’ work, spoke in
behalf of the education of women for
church work, while Dr. W. H. Carney,
‘ of Bedford, representing the Luth-
eran world service, told of the move-
ment on foot to raise a fund of $1,
125,000 for relief work in eighteen for-
. eign countries still suffering as the re-
| sult of the world war.
Wednesday evening Rev. Paul IL
Morentz, a christianized Jew, lectured
on Judaism and Christianity.
The Synod as a body complimented
Rev. A. M. Lutton on his work at Pine
Grove Millis and especially on the way
the church has been fixed up; especial-
‘ly over the fact that notwithstanding
the expense was $3,516.86 all the bilis
have been paid and there are $540 in
the church treasury.
The final session of Synod was held
on Wednesday evening following the
lecture by Rev. Morentz when Dr..C. |
| L. Fry spoke briefly of His work in the
i Brotherhood.
Quite a spirited debate followed the
introduction of a resolution prohibit-
ing theological students from marry-
ing while prosecuting their studies,
and as the Synod was pretty evenly
divided on the subject it was finally
i decided to leave the matter in the
| hands of the educational committee.
Newport, Perry county, was select-
ed as the place for holding the next
convention and the time the first Mon-
day in October, 1922.
Members of the Synod expressed
| wonderful appreciation for the hospi-
| tality shown by the people of Pine
| Grove Mills in entertaining the Syn-.
od, which they did in their customary
lavish manner. The I. O. O. F. orches-
tra, of that place, assisted with the
music at several sessions of the Syn-
od. Following are the resolutions
| adopted:
We, the members
of your Resolutions
man, of Philadelphia, secretary of the |

lowing resolutions:
1. In view of the announcement that
this year there are no candidates for either
licensure or ordination, and ne applicants
for synodical aid, be it
Resolved, That all ministers and laymen
emphasize the call of the gospel ministry
and lay this vital question upon the hearts
of the parents of their sons, especially in
this hour when ministers are so greatly
needed.
2. Be it resolved that we deplore the
great wave of crime and lawlessness that
is sweeping over our State and nation and
that all urge every one everywhere to co-
operate most vigorously in the enforcement
of the law, and make it a matter of vital
concern that honest, God-fearing oflicials
be elected to places of public trust.
Whereas a meeting of the representa-
tives of the leading nations of the world
has been called for the consideration of
disarmament for the prevention of war, be
it resolved that we heartily endorse the
movement, and that we use every proper
influence for the furtherance of its object.
4. Whereas a general call has been sent
out for more members for the Woman's
Home and Ioreign Missionary society, be

part in this drive for members, and that
they use every means to quicken their peo-
ple to more loyal missionary endeavor.
5. Whereas, Lutheran Brotherhoods are
not organized in all our congregations be
it resolved, that we urge the forming of
such brotherhoods as men’s clubs for the
purpose of interesting the laymen of every
church in definite christian service.
6. Whereas, the St. Paul's Lutheran
church of Pine Grove Mills has been great-
ly improved and beautified, and the mem-
bers have been most loyal in their support
of the active and energetic pastor, Rev. A.
M. Lutton, be it resolved, that we heartily
commend them for their splendid achieve-
i ment, success and fine spirit of co-opera-
tion.

Paul's organization with their pastor, Rev.

i their hospitable entertainment of Synod.

| our thanks to all who have helped to make
i the visit of Synod so pleasant and so heip-
! ful, and also to the choir for their excel-
lent music. We further request that the
president of Synod at the last evening ses-
sion express our deep appreciation of the
‘many kindnesses and courtesies received

PHILIPSBURG MURDER REDUC-
ED TO MANSLAUGHTER.
Defendant Testified in Own Behalf.
Disposition of Other Cases
of Interest.
The trial of Frank Benedict, of
Clearfield, in the Centre county court
last Friday on the charge of murder-
ing Raymond Shaw, of Blue Ball, at a
Philipsburg hotel on June 24th, ended
by the Commonwealth’s attorneys
withdrawing the charge of murder
and the defendant entering a plea of
voluntary manslaughter, after which
Benedict was sentenced to undergo
imprisonment in the western peniten-
tiary for not less than eight years nor
more than ten.
The Commonwealth proved that
Raymond Shaw died as the result of
a bullet wound in the abdomen, and
that the shot was fired by Benedict.
They also put in evidence an alleged
confession obtained from Benedict by
the state police stationed at Philips-
burg, and rested their case on that ev-
idence.
Spangler and Walker defended Ben-
edict and placed the prisoner on the
stand in his own behalf. Benedict is
a Hungarian and has been in this
country seventeen years, practically all
of which time he had worked at the
brick plant in Clearfield. He can talk
English and has a fair knowledge of
the language. He told of his trip to
Philipsburg on June 24th, when the
brick works were closed for the day.
He accounted for the revolver in his
possession by the fact that a few
nights previous two men had fired five
shots at him while he stood in his
shanty door, one of which cut a fur-
row in his arm, and he was told the
morning of the day he went to Phil-
ipsburg that the men were still
around, and so he took the gun along
for self-protection. He testified that
irom the time he arrived in Philips-
burg at 9:10 o’clock in the morning
until the time of the shooting early in
the evening he had taken twenty-one
whiskeys and four glasses of beer.
Regarding the shooting he stated that
Shaw, who was a perfect stranger to
him, came into the bar-room of the
‘hotel and asked for a drink but the
bartender refused to serve him for
the reason that he was then under the
influence of liquor. He stated that
Shaw came to him and protested be-
cause he couldn’t get a drink and when
he told him he had enough Shaw hit
him twice. He (Benedict) then made
his way through the crowd out of the
bar-room and was followed by Shaw
and several others, and fearing they
were going to assault him he pulled
his revolver and shot into the crowd,
then ran. He declared that he didn’t
know he had fatally wounded Shaw
until told by the state police the next
norning.
Attorneys for the defendant also
called five or six witnesses who declar-
ed they had known Benedict ever since
his arrival at Clearfield and he had al-
, ways been a peaceable and law-abid-
ing man.
At this juncture the court called
counsel on both sides into his cham-
bers and when they returned the dis-
‘trict attorney withdrew his charge of
.murder and Benedict plead guilty to
voluntary manslaughter, and was then
sentenced by the court as above noted.
Another case that attracted consid-
erable interest was that of the Com-
monwealth vs. Thomas Gill, of Julian,
charged with manslaughter for caus-
ing the death of Helen Shuey, of Le-
{ mont. The fact will be recalled that
' the young girl was struck by a Ford
i car driven by Gill, down near the fair
| grounds, on May 9th, just as she was
| leaving the grounds after attending
Main’s circus. After hearing all the
| evidence in the case the jury returned
a verdict of not guilty, but placed the
costs upon the plaintiff.
Harvey Walker and William Walk-
er, convicted last week of a serious of-
fense, were each sentenced to not less
than three years nor more than four
in the western penitentiary.
The civil action of Mary E. Brown
vs. Charles M. McCurdy, administra-
tor of the estate of the late Jane
Brown, being an action to recover
compensation for taking care of Jane
Brown for a period of thirteen years
or more, was tried on Thursday even-
ing and resulted in a verdict in an
amount totalling $11,284.
On Monday morning the sheriff and
several i ed took Benedict, Har-
vey and William Walker, Edward Em-
el, who had been brought to Bellefonte
from the penitentiary at Pittsburgh
as a witness against the Walkers, and
William C. Woolston, an escaped con-
vict, all to the penitentiary at Pitts-
burgh.

Prospetts Good for Big Hallowe’en
Carnival.
The executive committee in charge
of the Hallowe'en carnival held a
meeting on Tuesday evening and from
the reports presented everything is
shaping up fine for a big demonstra-
tion. William H. Brown has appoint-
ed his parade committee and the mem-
bers are a live, active bunch. As the
success of the carnival will depend in
a large measure on the parade the
public generally is asked to make their
plans early so that they can report in
ample time. Merchants and manufac-
turing concerns are requested to pre-
pare floats, and this is not confined to
Bellefonte alone, but Milesburg, Pleas-
ant Gap, State College, Centre Hall,
Howard, Snow Shoe, and every section
of the county within reach of Belle-
fonte. The list of prizes to be award-
ed is now in course of preparation and
will probably be ready for publication
next week.
The Harvest Queen contest is now
on and a dozen or more young ladies
of Bellefonte are already entered for
that honor. But any girl is eligible,
whether she lives in Bellefonte or
some other town. Votes cost only a
cent apiece and the ballot box stands
in front of the Elks home where any
person can vote for their favorite.
Remember the Elks will furnish the
costume for the queen and the chariot
in which she will ride in the parade.
A prize of $40 in gold will also be giv-
en the successful young lady. Every-
body should get busy at once. Pick
your girl then back her to the utmost
in the race for the Harvest Queen.
Following is the standing of the
vote on the Harvest Queen up to yes-
terday’s count:
