Resolutions of Presbyterian Com
mittee on the Subject.

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. November H.
After being In session all day, and until
a late hour tonight the special com
mittee appointed by the last General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, 10
reform and harmonic the methods OF
giving TO home missions, agreed on
declaration of principles and UNANIMOUSLY
adopted resolutions embodying lts views
The struggle that was fought out during
the day was whether or not State synods
and presbyteries are 10 be allowed 10
manage their own affairs, without the aid
~ the Home Board of Missions, or whe-
Their the national board should be en-
dorsed such endorsement meaning a
granting of practical autonomy TO each
presbytery.
This sentiment prevailed unanimously,
and although the committee merely
voiced its principles, and left 1t to sub
committee, to be appointed, to dratt
Man. the action of the committee was
such as to be entirely favorable 10 the
large element in the Church that Is OPP
posing the domination of the Home
Board. .,-.
The resolutions adopted were tentative
the members said, and Intended merely
to test the sentiment OF the committee
There were four Of them, and each was
adopted without a negative vote.
They all tend to let the Home BOARD
down lightly. but all speak unequivocaliy
on behalf OF the synods.
The first resolution declares In favor OF
che local administration of affairs by
the presbytery in every case where prac-
ticable .,,u...
The second recognizes the pracicability
% tho Home Board.
The third provides that each synod tha'
launches out for itself, TO do its own Work
shall incorporate In its plan provision
mat viii insure the Home Board IRON
suffering loss and financial decay.
The last resolution reads as foilows
1--WE cordially welcome to all oil oui
churches the secretaries and representa-
tives of the Home Board, and the circu
latlon Of. its literature"
After laying down these principles TN
committee decided to appoint suo
committee. which is to draw UP plan
and report to a meeting of the specia
committee at a time TO be hxed.
