ton of Columbia Theological seminary and
urged the submission of the overture thus
modified to the Presbyteries for consideration
and action.
He argued that now was proper time to
send down the whole matter for the considera-
ton of the Presbyteries and the criticisms Of
the newspapers and still further important az
one of their seminaries is now under process oil
reorganization. he wanted the whole over
ture aad moi part OF it sent down to the Pres
byteries. He claimed that the object of this
overture is to bring about broader study OF
the Eng Bible among students of Theology
It proposed:
let A study of thu Bible as a whole.
End. A study of the Bible on an English basis
In support OF this position he made a strong
and earnest speech.
Rev. +. NJ. MunrOe, Arkansas, favored the
study OF the Bible in the original Greek and
Hebrew and opposed sending the overture
down to the Presby teries
Rev. Jno. Il. Dow 8. c., opposed sending
down on the ground that tn ere was already 9
provision made for those who wish to study
the classics. and to abolish the study of the
Bible In the original he feared would place our
Church in the position of Cumberland Presbv-
terrain Church No.2.
He read letter from Rev. DIR. HAVE urging
that to adOptthe overture would bea downward
step In ecclesiastical education.
DR. Pratt explained that he had intended to
favor superaddition not substitution. The mo-
ton to send down was defeated by a vote O

Tne overture from East Hanover asking 9
revision Of the Hymn Book was reported upon
favorably. upon condition that it shall contain
no more than 600 Hymns and Psalms together
Dr. Hoyt opposed the adoption of the recon-
'mendafion. He did not believe that the Assem-
sbiy could get up better one than the old one
One objection he urged was that already much

some fertures Of our system
There are reasonable objections from our
constitution and from expediency, also. to the
Assembl,'s managing what properly belongs to
our Presbyteries on the work of Home Mis-
sions and Education. And there are objections
widespread and good. against the continued
concentration of Home and Foreign Missions
