Prof. pntton--Ucrtain1y you aro corroct
Afr. Bwa2ey-I do not want TO appenl from
your decision, sir, but 1t seems to mo that tho
prosecutor-tho person who is speaking Oh tho
lloor-elould spenk elthor to tho acceptance or
rejection of tho report. Now, to Which is he
speaking?
Mr. Noyes said his point of order was TINT dis
cushion thou would involve going over tho

would agree NTH him that 1t was desirable TINT

Tho Modorator understood Prof. Patton to al
ludo to the specifications by way Of illustraton
aud Haid Ito would a1hore to his decision that

The Chnir WAS Sustained, tho yoto being ap-
parently aa strong on ono as on tho othor, but q
division was not called for,
Prof. patton-Now, lIr, Moderator, T will
come to tho point which I hayo in view, It is
this: that, ii go fur as tho specifications naned

Gospel, etc., the Recommendation Of tho Com
