CONSOLIDATION OF

Southern PreSbyterianS Have a
Heated Argument
QUESTION STILL UNSETTLED
Col. 5ulIitt Spoke Over Two Hours in
Advocacy Of the General Assem-

tion-Great Interest.
STILL UNSETTLED

Little Rock, Ark, May 21.-1n the
Southern Presbyterian general assembly
today there was much oratory OF the
question of consolidating the Louisville
Theological Seminary, Southern, and the
Danville Theological Seminary, Northern
Opponents of the consolidation maintain
ed that 1t was either q movement into
the Northern church, or would cause
friction. Advocates of consolidation
argued that the two churches were under
the same standards. Final action was not
taken today, the matter going over until
lo o'clock tomorrow morning. majority
report adverse to consolidation was pre-
scented by Rev. s. E. Morris of Macon,
Ca, and the contrary minority report was
submitted by Colonel Thos. w. Bullitt of
Louisville, KY The majority contended
that the basis upon which it was proposed
to unite the two seminaries naturally and
logically leads to organic union between
the Northern and the Southern churches
and that it would exclude the teaching of
the Southern churchs distinctive princi-
pies. DR.. Norris addressed the assembly
at length and argued that consolidation
would cause entanglements and injure the
Southern church
Two Hours Speech.
Colonel Built spoke over two hours in
advocacy of giving the General Assem-
blies consent 10 consolidation. He argued
that distinctive principles do not exist
between the two churches and that Pres
byterian standards and principles ara
the Inheritance Of both. The general as
sembly had no property rights In the
seminaries, but its consent TO tho norscl-
idation was desired and asked, and The
agreement of consolidation, IL agreed 70
by the assembly, becomes the charter OF
the proposed institution. DR.. 7. c. John
son of Richmond, Va, followed in an ex-
tended argument against consolidation
and the tendency to organic union
At the morning session a motion to aIs-
cept the invitation OF Omer r Weaver
Camp, United Confederate Veterans. to
attend Confederat decoration exer-
cises Thursday brought foeth storm of
opposition On the ground the position of
the church for forty years had been to
refrain from co-pingiing church and po-
litical affairs. The motion was finally
amended SO az TO express profound SYM
pathy with the occasion, and to regret
that lack of time precluded attendance
by the commissioners at the exercises.
In this shape the motion prevailed.
The committee on Christian education
recommended that Rev. R. c. Reed of Co
lumbia, 8. c., be made chairman of the
committee on the twentieth century fund,
and the recommendation was ratified by
the assembly.
The committee on narrative in its re-
port states that the prevalence of world
ly conformity among church members Is
noted to some extent far more than is
consistent with Christian progress
Tonight a foreign missionary meeting
was held by the assembly.

 Mrs. l.. D. Afford as matron. and L. A. Holt as steward took their places at this time with good promise of future success.
 Another change to be recorded with much regret is the resignation of Mrs. Vaughn, for so many years the faithful and efficient matron of the Nina-Lyn- cite nursery. Mrs. Burns, already a valued member of the nursery staff, succeeds her in this position.
 In the House nursery Miss Geary continues her work as real house. mother to the little ones in her charge; and Miss Belcher, our care taker for the summer, was in her place, as for years past, which fact goes far toward solving the problem of summer manage ment of the children.
 There are many other features of the report, the tenor of which is most grati- flying as regards the continued loving care and excellent mana cement of this noble institution The work of the do- nation day committee and of other workers and friends of the institution is appropriately referred to.
