Pittsburg, Pa, May 1.-THE one hun
dredth and seventh general assembly
Of the Presbyterian church convened
in the Third Presbyterian church here
today. One of the principal questions
10 be settled is whether or not the as
sembly is to control theological semi
naries. After prayer service the re-
firing Moderator, Hutchmore, deliver
ed sermon on Labor, Sentinel and
Signal Service of the Presbyterian
church" taking for his text Mark,
thirteenth chapter, thirty-fourth verse
a uniqe feature of the sessions of the
general assemblies of the two leading
branches of the Presbyterian church is
that both bodies will discuss the ques-
ton of the control of theological semi
naries conducted under their auspices,
and that the trustees of the respective
seminaries are reluctant to surrender
control as desired by the supreme
bodies. The United Presbyterian
church has but two theological semi
naries. They are located at Allegheny,
Pa, and at Xenia, o. The Allegheny

ed last night that it is divided on the
question. The seminary question will
be the most important matter before
the United Presbyterian assembly
which conveneS here on the 22d inst.
Commissioners from the west are
raising the issue of exciting import
ance. They say that he home and for
eign boards are "honeycombed with
Briggsism" and that therefore the peo-
pie will not contribute. Some are in
war paint and are even cunning for
secretaries and may demand recon-
struction of the boards. Should such
an issue be reached the seminary con-
troll question will be put in the back
ground. The subject may come up in
connection with the reports of the
standing committees on the home and
foreign boards. The first business ses-
