DEBATE QUESTION OF UNION.
MOmentOus Problem Before the
Cumberland Presbyterian Genera!
Assembly.

Dallas, Texas, May 24.-Debate upon
the most momentous problem which the
Cuberland Presbyterian has faced in
many years, hat of the union of that
organization with the Presbyterian
church in the United States of America,
occupied the attention of the assembly
here during almost the entire day.
When the recess was taken his even
ing, there were others ready to partici-
pate in the discussion. There is no po-
sitive indication as to when the debate
will end, nor what will be the result of
the vote, although it is believed the
commissioners will be glad to express
themselves officially tomorrow after
noon.
Five members of the assembly spoke
on the question today, touching mainly
upon the three generally mooted points
in the confession of the Presbyterian
church in the United States in America.
Fatalism, or the doctrine of predesti-
nation, the race question and the edu-
cational qualifications CT ministers. The
contest, specifically, is upon the adop-
ton OF rejection of a resolution recon-
me1ding the report Of the committee on
fraternity and union to the Presoyte-
ries for adoption, which report declares
for the union of the churches.
Before aklng up the DEBATE upon
the theme, this morning the assembly
heard a report from the committee on
Sabbath observance, in which a strict
er observation of that day was advo-
Gated and ministers were requested to
preach ON this subject.
The committee on finance presented
its report. One section, that upon the
question Of general mileage fund, pro-
voked debate. The motion was lost re-
ducing the tax per capita from five to
four cents. This tax is levied on each
member for the purpose of providing a
general fund to be used among those
chosen as degeates to the general as
sembly from PreSbyteries where finan-
cial provision has not been made for
such expenses.
Large crowds, especially OF women.
listened patheticaly to the discussion Of
the union question from beginig to end.

siders Home Missions.

day consisted of a consideration OF
