COMBINE
THE TWO.
Important Movement Now De-
veloping.
VERY STRONG OPPOSITION
1.-The Proposition Will Probably Be the
Leading Issue at the Coming AS
semby - Committee
Divided.
VERY STRONG OPPOSITION

There VIII be sprung In the meeting OF
Tho General Assembly OF the Presbyterian
Church, which meets In Lexington. Va.
next week, a movement, strongly opposed
and strongly endorsed, looking to q COM
bination of two great departments of the
denOmnatlonal work - Publication and
Sunday Schools.
From present indications the Issue
drawn by the proposition will be the one
OF chief moment at the big meeting. Ex-
ceptlonal interest Is felt In 1t here. partc-
ularly In view of the fact that both de-
partmcnts under discussion have their
headquarters In this city.
PROBABLY BE MADE.
The Sunday-school work was Instituted
about two years ago and was placed in
tho hands of the Rev. A. l.. Phillips, D.
D., who as general superintendent for
the entire Southern Church established
his headquarters In Richmond. Upon the
death of the Rev. Dr. Hazen, secretary Of
tho Publication Committee, the Publica-
ton work was delivered into the hands Of
DR.. Phillips until the Assembly could
meet again and elect a successor to the
deceased secretary.
This double work DR.. Phillips by ex-
traordinary efforts has been conducting
during the past months.
Upon the eve OF the meeting OF the AS
semb!y. It Is now proposed to perpetuatc
this combination. do away with one OF
the Offices, and give 10 one man both the
J Publication and the Sunday-school worS.
DR. Phillips would of course be that man.
It Is difficult to predict, but even those
opposed to the change seem to believe
/ that 1t will be made. The fact that q
salary Is saved by tho consolidation is a
weighty argument.
Powerful opposition will be presented,
however. In the Publication Committee
itself the members are divided in their
sentiments. Among the local ministers
generally outside the committee there is
understood to be steady disapproval OF
tho proposition. The same sentiment is
said to prevail throughout the State and
In GONE other places.
The Synod OF North Carolina, hePresby-
terry OF Nashville. The Prcsbytery OF ABB
ingdon and some others Will present
pyerturcs protesting against the conlbi-
nation.
The argument of those who are lining
up against the proposed change is that
the two branches of the work cannot be
conducted by the same man. The Sun
day-sohool Superintendent must be con-
stantly in the field making addresses; the
Secretary OF Publication must be con-
stantly in tho Office engaged in editorial
and other work A man cannot be In two
different places at the same time. More
over DR.. Phillips has shown wonderful
capacity for Sunday-schooi work. His
success thus far has been great and there
is decided objection to anything that Will
take him away from 1t.
