LIVELY FIGHT
OF CHURCHMEN

FRESNO, May B-The Cumberland
Presbyterians, in session here, failed to
elect moderator for their general as
sembly at their afternoon session, as is
the custom, because of a contest over
the seating of a number of delegates.
After addresses of welcome by Mayor
Lyon, A. L. Hobbs, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Rev. A p.
Brown, on behalf of the churches of
Fresno. to which response was made by
Moderator Settle, the organization of the
body was begun by calling the roll. OF
the ia presbyteries, six had no COM
missioners present. Sixty-rour had full
delegations. During the rollcan it de-
veloped that several seats would be con-
tested.
j. ]. McC1e1land moved to appoint a
committee on credentials, of which Judge
Young and Judge Prendergast, two prom
inent opponents Of unions, should be MEM
bers, with three others. This was done,
Drs. Templeton, and Earle and Elder 7.
H. Cobbs being appointed. McClelland
wanted the assembly to agree not to pro-
ceed to the election of moderator until
] the credentials report had been adopted.
This motion failed, but it was agreed to
| give the committee ample time to do its
work and the time for hearing the re-
port was fixed at the close of the popular
missionary meeting at night.
| The roll to-day showed an attendance
of 23S commissioners, 1N being ministers
and Ill ruling elders. 1t is estimated
that the unionists have a majority of
| about thirty.
| The committee on credentials reported
recommending that all of the challenged
commissioners be seated. An effort was
made to adjourn, but, though late, the
assembly determined to elect a moder-
ator. Dr. Fullerton nominated DR.. ]. B.
Hail, the senior missionary to Japan, now
| in this country on furlough. Rev. r. w.
Binkley nominated Rev. w. NJ. Crawford
i Of Alabama. Dr. Hail was elected by a
| majority of 90.

CONDEMN THE HIGHER
CRITICISM OF BIBLE
Ministers Declare That 1t
Destroys Distinctively
Christian Dogma.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-Higher criti-
cism of the Bible was condemned as an
"insidious disease the book of Jonah
was declared to be historical rather
than parable, and the claim was made
that archaeology had proved beyond
question the historical worth of the
book, at to-day's session of the closing
day of the American Bible League Con-
vention.
Speaking on the topic, Effects of the
Higher Criticism on the Ministry" Rev.
DR.. T.. Fitch Burr of Lyme, Conn.,, de-
clared that the so-called higher criti-
cism, like a deadly disease, runs
through various phases till it brings
the destruction of all distinctively
Christian dogma.
Rev. John Urquhart of Glasgow,
Scotland, replying to the question, rs
the book of Jonah history or parab1e?"
maintained that Jonah was a historical
character and that the scripture stood
or fell with the historical character of
the book of Jonah.

PREsBYTERANs IN THE SOUTHWEST ARE OPPOSED
TO UNION WITH CUMBERLAND BRANCH.
General Assembly Holds
First Session at
Winona Lake.
DR.. James D. Mofatt Is
Unanimously Elect
ed Moderator.

WINONA LAKE, Ind, May 1S.-Dr.
James D. Moffatt, president of the
Washington and Jefferson College,
Washington, Pa, was elected moderator
of the Presbyterian General Assembly
this afternoon. There was no opposi-
ton. DR.. Moffatt's name was presented
by Dr. Robert Mckenzie of New York,
seconded by DR.. John H. Converse of
Philadelphia and DR.. John F. Hende of
Jefferson City, Mo.
The question which overshadows all
others before the assembly, which con-
vened to-day, and one which will be
approached with great caution, is that
of taking the Cumberland branch into
the General Assembly. While the
church in the North has voted over
whelmingly in favor OF the PROPOSE
ton and the Cumberland church has
given consent by a small majority, the
commissioners to the assembly realize
there was difference of opinion on the
question Presbyterians in the South
west are against the proposition.
In his address Rev. Addison Henry, the
retiring moderator, said the Presbyterian
church is now in the period of it's great
est prosperity. The churchs evangelistic
work in Denver and on the Pacific Coast
was reviewed. He urged the preaching
Of evangelistic sermons. For sixty years,
he said, the efforts of the church had
been directed toward doctrines. For the
next fifty years these efforts should be
given to evangelistic work.
Former Moderator Robert F. Coyle of
Denver was among those on the platform
