ASSEMBLY HAS ADJOURNED.
at Minneapolis Conclude
Their Work and Dissolve.

Minneapolis, May 29.-SinginS "Blest
Be the Tie that Binds" the 111th an
nual assembly of the Presbyterian
church adjourned early Saturday aft
ernoon to meet next year in st. Louis.
The song was peculiarly appropriate
for the termination of this assembly,
which has been on the whole very
harmonious one. The McGiffert debate
was at times somewhat acrid, but it
left no bad taste. The assembly has
disposed of an immense amount of bus
inesS and much of it is of a very impor-
tant nature. Only one overture is to
be sent down from the assembly to be
passed upon by the 229 presbyteries,
and that is a proposition to substitute
an entirely new chapter for chapter
XIII of the Book of Discipline.
The last hours of the assembly were
packed with statistics and facts about
the church. The accounts of the trustees
of the church showed $S40 447.43 in their
hands, an increase of 1926, 1929 since
year ago. At was considered that the
church was prosperous enough to in
crease the salary of the assembly'S
stated clerk, Rev. w. II. Roberts, OF
Philadelphia, from $1,000 to $4,000. There
are connected with the various churches
3,71S Christian Endeavor societies. be-
sides a large number of other societies
for young people.

Quarrel That Has Been Worrying United
Presbyterians for Years.

Philadelphia. May 2s. - The famous
potato patch" quarrel was the feature
of Saturdays session Of the general as
sembly of the United Presbyterian
church. The case has agitated church
circles for the past three or four years,
but this is the first time it has been
considered by the general assembly.
Its introduction provoked a discussion
in which clergymen from widely sepa-
rated sections of the country par
ticipated. 1t was finally decided to dis
miss the case.
The trouble originated between Perry
and Eleazer Shoutz. relatives, and mem
bers of the Conneaut Lake congrega-
tion. Each claimed that the other had
made a disparaging statement regard
ing him. An affidavit was made by
Percy Shoutz' hired man. before a JUS
tice of the peace in Shoutz potato
patch, against EieaZer Shoutz. The
matter was brought before the presby-
terry first and the First synod of the
west. but no decision was rendered. 1t
was then referred to the general as

Grand Rapids people went to church
yesterday than on any other Sunday in
the history of the city. Delegates who

and the services took an evangelistic
turn and intense religious enthusiasm
prevailed. Old-time hymns were sung,
with a ferver seldom equalled, by 1900
or 1900 male voices led by the famous
Indiana quartette and accompanied by
the y. NJ. c. A. brass band of GAINESVILLE,
Wis. EVangelists moved through the
audience personally eXhorting young
men to believe and give their hearts to
God, while speakers on the platform
urged them to come forward and pub
licly announce their desire to lead bet
ter lives. AS a result over sixty young
men professed conversion and 1t was
decided to continue the effort in the
evening.
The meeting was announced as a fare
well service. More than half the seats
were occupied by ladies. while men
crowded the standing room and hum
dreds were unable to get into the hall.
After half an hour of song service the
meeting took the form of a Methodist
revival and the scenes of the afternoon
were repeated with even more intense
enthusiasm The evangelistic work was
continued for hour. resulting in
many additional conversions, and the
thirty-third biennial convention ad-
journed sire die at IL o'clock.
