OPPOSED TO UNION.
Statement Of the Opposition Of the
Cumberland Presbyterians.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, September 30.-"The
non-union or loyalist'' committee of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church has sent
an address to the union committee of the
Northern Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
in which it strongly opposes union of the
two bodies. saying among other things:
"A large majority of the membership of
our church are earnestly-not to say Bit
terly-opposed to the proposed union If
proof can be needed to verify this state
ment we promise to furnish 1t before the
time arrives fer you to submit your report
In this connection we call your attention to
the fact that very small majority of our
presbyteries voted for union-only three
more than the requisite number-and three
of these voting for the union carried by a
majority of but one vote in each presby-
terry: and counting the Individual vote In
all the presbyteries, the total vote for union
was 1.341 while the total vote against
union was !. AT, showing clear majority
of 1877 against union. These 1877 presby-
teries, you will well understand are the
opponents of the sentiments of at least
10000 communicates.
1t may be granted that some of the OBJ
position In our church Is founded on pretu-
dice, yet it Is prejudice SO deep-seated that
within the present generation II cannot be
obliterated under the most delicate treat
ment, and with treatment which smacks of
coercion it viii increase with age"
