to the manner In which the creed

turbed by the introduction of person.
alities. The trouble occurred during
the discussion on the Craftsmanship of
the revision committee. Rev. DIR. J.
ID. Moffat suggested a change in the
minutes OF Mondays session, so the
records would show that a new com.
mittee had been appointed to revise
the creed. regardless of the old com.
mittee. of which Rev Dr. Charles A.
Dickey. Of this city. was chairman
His suggestion was adopted and Rev
DR.. James E Moffat, of Cumberland
Nd. moved that Moderator Minton be
elected chairman of the committee.
This incensed the friends of Dr.
Dickey, and although DR. Moffatt's mo-
ton prevailed the subject was revived
later In the SESSION BY Rev DR.. 8. J.

moved to reconsider the mo'iou, but
as he had not beer presenf during the

assembly against demonstrating the
motion. saying he was confident that
there had been no attempt to cast any
rejection upon him. but that the com.

his successor.
DR.. Dickey's friends wanted the cleo.
ton OF the chairman to be made by the
committee, In which event 1t is con.
