NEw YORK, May 2S.-In the Presbyter-

because OF want of funds 20 edqcate young
men for the ministry an unusually large
number of churches are without pastors
Rev. DIR. Ferry. of Illinois, and Rev. DIR.

spoke on the report The burden of their
remarks was that money must be had
or the work of educating young
men will be seriously affected. The
report OF the committee on the conference
on fraternal cooperation in Christian work
with the southern church was called up.
The committees of both churches agreed

but the work among them was TO proceed
on the same lines as before The minority
report, signed by Judge Breckenridge, |
holding that nothing short of organic union |
between both churches was desirable or
practicable was also filed. The part of /
the work relative 10 cooperation in foreign /
mission work was passed. The second /
part on co operation in the home field was
opposed by Rev. John Cox. who held the |
ms9Iose snHsss hsS ss seady Outbe1n
church and was rejected and i
said the part of the report under discus
sion bound them with too close ties to the /
south. DIR. G, L. Thompson said 1t would /

port was adopted. Curry and Fulton, of |

the report of the committee ON Sabbath
observance recommended that the assem-
oily endorse the petition to change inaugu-
ration day to the 1rst Wednesday in March
OF The last Wednesday in April, and 10 pro-
hibit work ON the Sabbath. The assembly
requests officers and members of the church
10 refrain from all travel on Sunday, ex-
cept in cases of necessity and mercy. The
report was dOcketed. The question of CO
operation with the northern church was
then called. The special committee which
had considered the report of the conference
committee submitted a majority report
favOring the adoption of the recommends
ton 10 cooperate, and a minority report
opposing il. The afternoon was de-
voted TO discussion. Not all the men,
in support of cooperation. The report
recommending organic union, will fail
One OF the strongest protests made was by
DIR. Girardeau, of South Carolina. The
adoption of the report TO cooperate. he
said, was a step 10 organic union. If so,
the question is whether the assembly will
