IN Los ANGELES, CAL.
PREsBYxERIxN ASSEMBLY TO
MHns rH3hn NEXT YEAR.
Question 1iscu4sed as to the Relations
of Ministers Coming From the
Southern Church.

NEW YORK, May 28.-The Presbyterian
general assembly at today's session chose
Los Angeles. Cal., as the place of next
meeting. The moderator. the Rev. Dr. Van
Dyke. called the assembly to order at 9:3o
clock. The atte-.dance of commissioners
a! that time was good.
The general assembly acted adversely on
an overture from the presbytery OF Los An
geles requesting that ministers coming
from the Southern Presbyterian Church be
honorably retired with the same privileges
as if they had served always with the
church under the general assembly. The
matter came before the assembly III a re-
port from the committee on ministerial re-
lief, which recommended adverse action.
The Rev. William S. Young, D. D., pas
tor Of the Emanuel Presbyterian Church.
Los Angeles. advised that the assembly act
favorably on the overture. In the west, he
said there were many ministers who had
come from the southern branch and that
favorable action by the assembly would
help to bring the two churches together.
The Rev. DR.. Thomas Parry of Wilkins
burg, Pa, chairman of the committee, took
the opposite view. He said 1t would open
the door for ministers of other dent NINA
tons to come to the Presbyterian Church
and claim the same privileges as the min
all their lives.
The Rev. DR.. Benjamin L. Agnew of
Philadelphia. corresponding secretary of
the board of ministerial relief. spoke in
the same vein. He said the result of grant
ing the demand of the presbytery of Los
Angeles would be that many of the re-
tired ministers who had always been with
the northern Presbyterian Church would
have their already scant allowances cut
down.
when the civil war was closed he said
Il would have been willing to vote for the
union of the two churches. But 1 am ut
terly opposed to holding out any money
consideration to win them over. When
they will come over to on principle they
will have the same privileges our men,
bers"
The. Rev Dr. James McIvain of Balti-
more said 1t would be unfortunate If the
overture did not receive favorable action.
There is no difference with US between the
church-north or south. he said.
When the question Of selecting a meet
ing place was taken up, the Rev. DR..
a ten-minute address in favor of Los An
geles. Cal. He said Los Angeles had work
ed two years to get the assembly and
should have it next year.
The Rev. DR.. Richard S. Holmes oe Pitts
burg pointed out that there was a great
difference between the mileage for Cleve-
land and Los Angeles. "If you want to
burden the membership for such a big sum
as this difference would be, let the money
go to home missions. to pay off the
debt on the Presbyterian building. We
have no right to do a thing to favor any
big corporation or railroad
