THERE IS A CONTEST.
Delegates to Church Conference Said
to Have Been Illegally Elected.

Fresno. Cal, May 1S-The general
assembly of the Cumberland Presby-
terian church opened in this city today,
the retiring moderator, Judge Warner
E. Settle of the supreme court of Ken
lucky, being in the chair. An unusual
ly large number of delegates is in at
tendance.
The annual sermon was preached by
Rev. Dr. John V. Stephens, professor of
church history in the theological semi
nary.
His theme was. ''Revivals considered
as q, force in our national life" his text
being "Oh, Jehovah revive thy work
in the midst of the years. In the midst
of the years make it known" Habak-
kuk SO.
He defined a revival as renewed in
tereSt in religion, or a period of religi-
Gus awakening, and. said that in a pc
culiar sense this country is the home
of the revival He then sketched the
four great eras of general revival in
the history of the American church, the
Great awakening of 1740, the Revival Of
1900 the Great Revival of 1857-58, and
the Moody and Sankey revival, and
then outlined the means employed in
promoting the revivals Of these four
periods, pointing out the great variety
in means and methods.
After this survey, he proceeded to
great revivals, saying:
There is no difficulty in Justifying
these revivals by the results they pro-
duced. In making this statement there
is TO purpose of approving everything g
which took place. With all wheat there
is mixed a little chaff.
Results of Revivals.
He enumerated the following positive
results of these four eras of great re-
Vivals:
The revival of 174O unified the colonies,
quickened the churches, discouraged the
idea Of a state church, endorsed new
type of evangelism and promoted the
cause of education
The revival of 1900 came at a time
when infidelity and indifference were
rife; but the revival put inhdel1ty to
flight and added thousands 10 the
churches. It also did much to encour-
age the Inauguration of the great mis-
sionary and philanthropic enterprises OF
the last century.
The revival of 1S57-5S was character
lied by the large number of 2dditions TO
the churches, while the Moody ana
Sankey meetings not only quick e7ed
the churches, but took an unusual hold
upon the life of, and gave impetus TO,
the religious movements among the
young people.
that a study of these valmovements
makes it apparent that God accomno-
dates his work to the times and con-
ditions of the people to be reached; trat
the great reviVals have been among the
greatest recruiting sources for church
memberships; that they have done much
to develop the spirit of cooperation and
that they teach US to be on our gnard
against consciousness.
The formal constitution prayer was
led bv F. r. Easle. D. D, of Arkansas.
Dr.. S. NJ. TempIeton of Clarksville. Tex,
closed the service with the benediction.
A moderator may be selected this after
noon but the election will be interfered
with by a contest over the seatlng on a
number of delegates who, it is said,
were illegally elected
