the FLY WHEEL is practically the

COMPLETE UNION.
Cumberland Presbyterian Church Allies
Itself With Main Body.

Dallas, Tex, May 26.-Complete union
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
with the Presbyterian church in the
United States of American was favored,
last night, by the general assembly of
the first named church in a vote which
was closely contested after a heated
debate of two days and a night. The
vote was 1872 for and IS against, a ma
jority of only five over the necessary
two-thirds. The result of this test of
two elements in the church was little
short of dramatic.
The commissioners to the assembly
had listened patiently since Tuesday
morning, to the arguments presented.
Those arguments hinged in the main
upon the three points as to whether or
not the doctrine of predestination was
a part of the creed of the Presbyterian
church in the United States of Arneri-
ca; as to whether or not other races
should be admitted to equal rights in
the church in certain instances and as
whether or not the educational STAN
dard of the Presbyterian church in the
United States of America was too high.
G;aUpdto the night session, all Of these
various features had been argued by
the 0pDbn ents. J. N. Parker Of Tennes-
see, strong pppositionist, after the vote
had been taken, said: 1.-The question
would not have befrnilost by us had not
so,pehof our voters been absent. The
Significant of it is that there will be a
split in the church; not now, but later
when the Presbyteries come to decide
on the question" 81

ton overshadowing in Importance all

church. which reorganized as n separate
body in lSl0-was the first order of bust
byterian church of the United States to-
day. But since the day when the vote
was taken in 1891 on the revision of the
church, there has never been such inter
est manifested in any question as that
of the proposed reunion.
The discussion promises to be a strug-
gle between President Francis l.. Patton
on one side and President Jas. d. Moffat
on the other..a renewal of the old strug-
members Of lie Church anu CONSERVATIVE
The ground upon which DR.. Patton
stan nus is is that the confession of faith as
as when the Cumberland church went
out.
In other words the revision of three
years ago did not revise in the sense of
show that the confessions OF the two
bodies differ materially and that doctrin-
that it will be dangerous to attempt a
union at this time. DIR. Moffat and his
supporters will take the ground that the
standings were removed. The ambiguity
of the old confession has been taken
away and the language of the present
creed is such that it is understood by the
that they accept is as it is and are ready
to unite on the basis of the revised con-
feSsion.
The report Of the committee submits
long category of questions as the basis
of union upon which each of the assem-
blies must express its approval or disap-
prevail

churches differ SO definitely in traditions,

methods of work, their modes of dealing
with prominent social questions, and,
above all. in dOctrinal belief
The stated clerk read a telegram from
the Cumberland body, now meeting in
Dallas. Texas, stating that they had
adopted the plan of union with the gen
eral body, and the news was received
with enthusiastic cheering.
DIR. Francis l.. Patton of Princeton,
spoke in opposition to union and DR..
James ID. Moffatt, president of Washing
ton and Jefferson College. urged that it
WAS a too narrow view to take to urge
the rejection of the Cumberland church
on doctrinal points.
The session closed with the question of
union with the Cumberland branch still

John +. Carson of Brooklyn, was adopt
cd, fixing the date for taking the vote on
the question at 1.30 O'Clock.
