Synod.

.... Several young men were ordained to the work of the Gospel Ministry, among whom was Samuel HERSHISER, well known to many of our people.

     Your pastor was called home before the close of synod on account of the death of Mrs. Wm. KELLEY.

     The pastor officiated at the funeral of Mrs. S. M. WARD on the afternoon of October 7th.  A large concourse of people gathered at the home to do honor to the memory of the departed one, and to extend sympathy to the bereaved ones.

The Lady Maccabes attended the funeral service in a body, and rendered an impressive and beautiful portion of their ritual.  Interment was made at Oakland cemetery.  May the stricken husband and sons look to God for comfort in their grief.

     On the 25th of September Mrs. Wm. KELLEY departed this life, being in her twenty-eighth year.  The deceased was a member of the Lutheran church in Plymouth, and died triumphant in the faith.  Funeral services were held in the church on the afternoon of the 27th.

     On the 22nd of September the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cliff RANDALL was dedicated to God in holy baptism.

     Chas. L. BUSHEY leaves shortly for Springfield to resume his studies in Wittenberg Theological Seminary.
