asking that a correspondence be opened

that they should come into tn. Cumberland

on the judiciary submitted a report on the
protest and ministers of the Mississippi Sy-
nod; minister protested against the action
of the Synod because it was not consfitu-

nod being from one Presbytery. The CON-
mittee decided that where there is more
than bare quorum present, it makes nc
difference if II majority are from one Pres
bytery. @
