WHAT IS BEHIND s?
Mr.. Scudder's Son In Law
Says There Is a Motive
In Pastors Inter-
ference.
VERY UNUSUAL THING"
Ministers Seldom Conduct
Prayer Meetings In Any
But Their Own
Churches

Mr.. Frank H.. Hall, the Rev. John u.
Scudder's son-in-law, and secretary OF rs
Board of Trustees of the First Congre-
gational Church Society, was seen inns
morning by a reporter of the News
and asked what he thought Of the att-
tude of certain ministers of the city VINO
have led or intend to lead the TaDernacie
prayer-meetings, as told exclusively in last
nights News" Mr.. Hall was not aware
he said, that pastors from outside con-
gregations had led prayer-meetings.
Some are inclined to think" suggested
the reporter. that the pastors were guilty
of an act of d~iscourtesy to Mr.. Scudder IN
leading the Tabernacle meetings without
Mr.. scudder's invitation
II am a relative" said Mr.. Hall, and
therefore will refrain from expressing any
opinion. I certainly have my views,
though.
at is a very unusual thing for an out
side pastor to be called in to lead a
prayer-meeting. In fact, pastors as a rule
do not lead these meetings. Usually the
members take hold. Mr.. Scudder scarcely
leads the Hill prayer-meeting once in three
months.
Certainly l4ey muSl DC III POcA
when outside pastors are called in to lead
these meetings. 1 have led meetings IN
the downtown church and on the Hill.
There must be some object in their calling
in pastors, but what the motive Is l am
not in a position to say. not being familiar
with the workings of the Tabernacle
people"
Mr.. Hall stated that no reply had been
received from the downtown people in re-
gard to the communication he sent for the
trustees, suggesting that a committee be
Appointed with full power to close the
separation negotiations.
Their request that the Hill Board of
Trustees sugge plans and articles
whereby a separation may be brought
about is simply out of the question: said
he. How can the Hill board take such
steps when the member are opposed to
the separation question:" Our board
wishes no separation. therefore we have
no plans to offer. 1t is the place of the
Tabernacle people to make overtures. Let
them select the committee with full
power, arrange for a conference with our
board. and perhaps the question may be
settled
The annual meeting of the society will
be held on Friday night in the chapel of
the church at Bergen and Boyd
Reports from the various branches will
be read and five deacons elected.
Mr.. Hall stated that it made little differ
ence whether the downtown people attend
ed the meeting or not. He said there
would be a quorum without these mem
bers.
On the same evening, as told in 1.-The
News the Rev. J. F. Morgan, of the
Park Reformed Church, is scheduled to
lead a prayer-meeting at the Tabernacle.
None of the members who seek separation
will go to the meeting.

MADE A FUNNY REPORT.
Southern Presbyterians Treated the Texas
0yeriures as Joke.
A PROTEST WAS MADE WITHOUT AVAIL
Mob violence Was Deprecated and
Ministers Were Instructed to
Preach Against 1t.

Richmond va. Nav 25.-At the morn
ing session of the Presbyterian general
assembly the following was offered by Dr..
Kerr of this city. which was docketed for
future discussion:
''The general assembly takes occasion to
express It's strongest condemnation of the
lawless spirit abroad in the land. manifest
ing itself in many ways, but notably in
scenes Of mob violence and the taking OF
human life in cases of supposed or roven
crime, without due process OF law, In
volving the awful danger Of inAlctng
death upon an innocent person, while the
real criminal goes free; tending also to
cheaper human life: to unsettle the social
order and to weaken and destroy that
reverence for law and constituted author
ity which the Scriptures require all to
uphold.
we therefore urge all our people and
minister's In all scrlptural ways to do
their utmost toward cultivatlng and main
tanning that order and reverence for au-
God"
The standing committee on publication
recommended the approval OF the publica-
ton Of the report, which was done.
The committee on the records OF the
synod of Texas were very humorously
presented and criticised by Chairman
Craig. The report created much laughter,
but at its close Mr. Weaver of Texas
moved that 1t should be recommtted as
cotiary to the diglty Of the body. 1t was
submitted, he said, In spirit of clown
ishness such as ought not to be permit
ted to creep into the report of body OF
the dignity of the general assembly
The motion was voted down. being sup
ported only by Mr.. Weaver and four
other members. The report was then
adopted. after being amended in a few
particulars.
The assembly adopted the recompenda-
ton of the committee on oyertures that In
cases OF emergency the moderator can
call a meeting Of a Presbytery with the
cor crrrence Of two ministers or two
elders
At tho afternoon session of the assembly
tie session was occupied with the consid-
Grafton of the report of the committee on
oNertures. The assembly refused to con
cur in the recommendation that tho reports
On statistics and systematic benehcence
should embrace the same amounts The
recommendation that in view of the for
mer dellyerancos on the subject, the as
sembly should issue n pastoral on the sub
ject of dancing, card playing and theatre
going and the growth Of ungodllness was
met with an amendment proposed by Mr.
Aud of Florida He cited cases where
ruin and trouble" had come as a result
OF dancing. and he urged the assembly
TO issue a new address on the subject In
answer to the oyertures of Fayetteville
Presbytery,
After a long debate, the pending question
was called and Mr.. Auld's substitute wa.
adopted.
Mr.. Kerr's lYnchlng resolution wa,
adopted after being amended by he add
