GHURCHNEN IN SESSION
Northern Presbyterians Assem-
BILE at Saratoga.
REV. DIR. BOOTHS PLEA FOR UNITY.

fhe Retiring Moderator Asks the Chris
tian Sense of the Assembly to Take
Measures to Abate the strife and Bring
About Reconciliation of the Parties at
Nariance-Doings Of the Methodist Con-
ference-southern PresbyterIans.
SARATOGA, n. Y, May 22.-The 1OSth
general assembly Of the northern Prcsby-
terian church was opened here Thursday
morning at IL o'clock in the First Pres
bytcrian church, where so many previous
assemblies have met. Prayer was offered
by DR.. William Durant, pastor Of the
church. The psalm was read by the Rev.
William f.. Carr Of Danville, Va, col
ored commissioner, and tho Scripture les
sons by the Rev William 5. Marquis Of
Rock Island. Prayer was offered by the
Rev. Joseph NJ. Cohen OF Kolhapur, In
dia. The opening sermon was delivered
by the Rev. DIR. Robert Russell Booth Of
New York, the retiring moderator, on the
subject Of Christian Union and De
nominational Loyalty" The text was
taken from the gospel Of St. John, 18th
chapter, Goth and 2lst verses
Why Unity Was Desired.
II was contended that the text consider
cd defined only the union Of believers and
1t had to be simply with an established
harmony Of purposean affection, a oneness
Of sympathetic and accordant brotherhood.
The text also stated the reason why unity
was desired by Christ Ii was also held
that Christian union does not lie In the
e. n L.
the surrender of matured convictions on
the part Of one branch Of the church
TO another. Union is not uniform
ity. In closing DIR. Booth
spoke of the misunderstanding
| and conflicts which have divided the
church and hindered it's work. He depre-
Gated any work OF act which might N re-
| yate present troubles. He said: "On bne
hand there are charges of undue severity
in the administration of discipline,
coupled with plea for liberty within
| certain limits, which up TO this time have
| not been defined
Essential Truths at Stake.
90n the other hand, there Is afear or con-
| viction that essential truths are at stake
| md a belief that the church is contending
| FOR honor and life in the stand which she
| has recently taken in her discipline and
deliverances. To many of us this contro-
| versy has been unexpectedly painful, and
| there can be no doubt that it has material'
ly interfered with our financial prosperity
1t adds to the painfulness Of the present
condition that no real effort has hitherto
been put forth to secure a removal OF
these misunderstanding by brotherly con
ference and arbitration of differences.
'It may be dream; it may be delu
sion," said the preacher, "but speaking al
It were for the last time in such place o
public authority, appeal to the soun'
/ Christian sense of this venerable assembl!
TO take some proper measures to ascertain
what IL is that divides us and what Is re
quired for the abatement Of strife and re
concilliation of parties at variance"
