ANNUAL SERMON.

Rev. w. p. Curtis preached the annual
sermon. The text was $50 Into the
Street Called Straight" The theme was
divine direction and obedience set forth
in the story of Ananias and Paul. The
idea conveyed was that people are led
now by the inner promptings Of the
spirit The law of demand and supply
is revealed in material and spiritual
things. There is something definite for
denomination, church and individual to
do. He set forth the culture of science;
conscience spoke of as divine instruction
1t calls to the idle "what doest thou
here;" it condemns the guilty. 'Thou
art the man." 1t shows where duty led
the patriarch according to scripture &C.

TWO CHURCH CONVENTIONS
PreSbyterlans Defeat Proposition For
Church Unity.
MAY 60 BACK TO OLD QUARTERS
Resolution to Dispose Of the 50, ,000 900
Presbyterian Building in New York.
Methodists Elect Rev Mr.. Hartzell,
to Succeed Bishop Taylor.

SARATOGA, n. Y, May 26.-The Presby-
terrain general assembly yesterday decided
TO take no action in reference to church
unity, favoring the report which was pre-
sented on this subject and which called
for declaration that this is Protestant
Christian country The report contained
plan for federation of Presbyterian and
Reformed churches, which was to be rep
resented in federal council The whole
matter was laid upon the table. This dis
posed Of it for the present meeting of the
assembly.
The surprise of the day came at the open
ing Of the afternoon session, when paper
was submitted in regard TO the 81 100000
Presbyterian building in New York by
Rev. William NJ Hubbard, of Auburn, n.
Y. 1t had been known that there was a
strong feeling in regard to this building,
but 1t was not anticipated that it would
take this shape. The subject was made an
order for this morning, but it is believed,
by reason of the opposition of the nilsson
ary board, it will probably 90 over until
Thursday. The discussion when the sub
iect is brought up ppromises to be animated
at least.
The paper contained two propositions
and two resolutions, in brief as follows
Last September John 5. Kennedy of New
York city, in conversation concerning the
new Presbyterian building, No 1856 Fifth
avenue, New York city, made the PROPOSE
ton that if the church were not entirely
satisfied with the new building as an in
vestment, and did not see its way clear to
own the same, he was perfectly willing to
purchase it at the original cost, and would
give one years time in which to determine
whether this proposition would be ac-
cepted
Proposition No ? is from Miss Rachel
LennoX Kennedy; If the boards of home
and foreign missions return to and occupy
No. 30 Fifth avenue as their official home,
in the confident hope that the. boards will
continue to occupy the same as their per-
manent home, l will alter, enlarge or i'm
prove the premises by changes or addi-
tions thereto, so as to make them abund-
antly adequate to all their needs, provided
this offer is accepted by the boards on or
before Sept. l, 1895.
Resolved, That the general assembly rec
ommends to the boards of home and for
eign missions to sell said investment and
TO accept each OF these propositions and
carry the same into execution.
Whereas, Miss Rachel Lcnnox Kennedy
has indicated her willingness to place the
historic LennoX homestead in such condi-
ton as will fully adapt it to the needs and
uses of the boards this general assembly,
in accepting this gift, tenders her It's sin
cere thanks and expresses, on behalf Of the
entire church, full appreciation of her gem
erosity and fidelity to the church Of her
father

CLEVELAND, May 26.-Therc were stormy
scenes in the Methodist general conference
yesterday. 1t was by all odds the most
tumultuous session that has yet been held.
There was a clash between the ministerial
and lay delegates, and for time in the
afternoon Bishop Hurst, who was in the
chair, lost all control of the assemblaqe.
A dozen delegates were on their feet at
the same time, shouting for recognition
or calling for rulings of the chair on points
of order which had never been heard, and
altogether the scenes We're more exciting
than are usually witnessed in political con
ventions.
The contest came over the fourth section
of the new constitution rs reported bv the
committee. When the section was read
an amendment providing for equal rapre-
sentaUon for the laymen in the general
conference was proposed The discussion
was participated in by Rev. DR. Alex Ash
ley Of Washington, Rev. Di. J. b. Graw
of New Jersey, Mr. Henry French of San
Jose, Cal, Rev. l.. b. Wilson of Baltimore
and DR.. A. j Kynett of Philadelphia
Many bitter things were said, and it
looked for "a time as if there could be no
reconciliation between the ministers and
laymen, Finally, however peace was re-
stored by the withdrawal of the amend
menU, with the understanding that the
whole matter should be brought up again
in a different form.
The election Of DR.. j. G. Hartzen, Of
Louisiana, as missionary bishop for Africa,
to succeed Bishop Taylor who was re-
tired was the incident Of the morning ses-

Rech's Trial Postponed.

MAYS LANDING, N j.. May 28.-The
case Of John Rech was brought up for trial
before Judge Ludlow yesterday, Prose
cutor Perry argued for an immediate trial,
but Attorneys Stephany and Endicott,
who were recently appointed by the court
TO defend Rech, in their appeal for post
ponement until September explained that
they had just been called into the case,
and it would be a gross injustice to Rech
to put him on trial for his life without a
fair time for preparation. Judge Ludlow
thereupon postponed the case until July 21
