Of standards will not be materially changed, and
the moderate revision men rejoice at the number
on the committee representing their views. DR..
Dickey is to be congratulated at his success in
satisfying such large body of people. 1t is
only another evidence of his special fitness for
the place with which the Church has honored
him.
DR.. Sample was puzzled over the question
which some one asked him to-day: Have you
had your hair combed today" The dignifed
ex-Moderator put his hands TO his head invol
unfairly and waited for the explanation. 1T is
said that the members of the women's boards
have been TO your committee a question
which greatly affects them" The chairman of
the committee assured his inquiring friend that
while the interview was earnest there was
nothing. in it suggestive Of domestic disturb

CONTRIBUTION QUESTION BROUGHT UP
It is a fact, however. that the who
are here representing the women's boards are
deeply exercised over the action of the Assem-
bly, in placing the contributions of all the So
eieties and associations connected with the

sions Of the Church. That while individuals
and societies may have power to direct how
their gifts 10 be distributed. always pro-
yiding that the objects named belong to the
work and boards of the Presbyterian Church. If
ether preference is expressed it is to be subject
TO the decision OF the session, and that there
shall be no contributions to outside objects; ex-
Thompson, the secretary of the Home Board
was Of ele company that secured the con-
sent OF the committee to take back the over
ture for modification.
DR.. Sample reported a change in one recon-
nendation to-day, which was said to be salts

The contributions of all the societies be
veyed through the session Of the Church.; as
amended it reads: That the contributions of all
The societies be reported TO the session of the
Church for its approval before being RENTED"
The committee also recommended that a com
mittee Of five pastors and four elders should be
appointed 10 consider the relation of young peo-

church, 10 report to the next Assembly. This
