NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
I. A. WHARTON
BY REV. E. C. GORDON, D. D.

In the Christian Observer for Septem-
Der 18th, appeared an article signed by
myself, entitled Inconsistency. In it
I requested comments from the editors of
the Observer on two very remarkable de-
liverances of the Des Moines Assembly.
One Of these was the action in regard TO
the amendments to their constitution.
which the Assembly undertook to set
aside in open and fragrant disregard of
heir own constitution; the other had
-egard to these of the Cumberland
Church, who, although they still held to
their Cumberland creed, came into the
Northern Church.
In responding to my request the editors
were very courteous to me, but they did
scant justice to the Des Moines Assembly.
md very grossly misrepresented our
Church. This will appear from the fol-
owing extracts from a communication
which | sent to the Observer very prompt
Y, which the editors acknowledged but
which they have not at this writing, Oc-
.ober 4th, published.
AS to the Observers comments: 1t is
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-10-17

why, madame, we did not see of what
possible further use he could be to you.
You see twenty-five gentlemen emptied
their guns into him and the shot that
Killed the mayor is the only one that
went wild" This beriddled product
you want the Church to adopt can be of
no manner of use. 1t is unavoidable.
You have established a court without a
docket and no power to adjudicate If it
had one. You see the thing you had in
mind was the establishing OF something
that would evince Church unity-the
working value of the thing established
has been overlooked. What scope or
power has this proposed court not al
ready enjoyed by the Western district of
the Pan?
You have merely repudiated that
most distinguished shadow. One such
venerable emptiness is enough to ad-
vertize to the world our fraternal re-
lat1ons. What is the Western district
OF the Fan but cross between banquet
and bundle of unread statistics?
Twice year these brethren of the Pres
byterian nobility march up the hill and
then march down again. Why doctor,
In some idle moment you could readily
devise lar more effective measure of CO.
operation through our existing boards
without going outside our existing ma
chinery. The Conference at Richmond
expressed its perfect willingness to find
some such common ground ana unite
with you and others like minded in any
plan that would not hazard our indie
penderce. The Church is not opposed to
any practicable plan of cooperation
1T is opposed to this court which through
an unfair basis of representation puts
control in alien hands,
The second reason for the opposition
is grounded upon the belief that this
skeleton steed that has come out of the
North Will not always remain skeleton.
we believe that it will gradually clothe
itself with flesh and power through its
reserved right of self amendment rhls
loose confederation will repeat the his
tory of the nations and centralize. In
It's present form it mas no power to run
and when 1t acquires that power we
know the way it will take-we know
the direction in which it is headed now.
You admit that t., is wonderfully pro-
gressive measure Will have to encount-
per severe opposition. We canont see why
we should seek foreign alliance at the
cost of division at home-we do not
understand the logic of those who do.
Fraternally,
T. A. WHARTON.

Molnes Assembly" 1t IS the Observer
that is mistaken l did not say that the
Assembly had repealed certain amend
ments to the constitution of the Church.
l was very careful not to say so absurd
a thing. 1 said that the Assembly took
action which ''purported" to do this thing.
| 1T is the Observer that is in error when
1t asserts that the action of the Northern
Church in adopting certain amendments
to its constitution was irregular. The
use of this word is kindly euphemism
on the part of the Observer. The action
of the Church was perfectly regular; cut
| it was, as the Observer clearly points out.
a violation Of a contract, and, therefore,
moral wrong. The Assemply's action, in
| attempting to undo the wrong, was per-
fectly irregular, because utterly uncon-
| stitutional. 1t ought to be regarded as
null and void by all the parties concerned.
| The regular thing to do was to have the
amendments repealed in the constitution
al way, and postpone the union until this
was done. But our Northern brethren
are entirely too practical to be stopped in
the pursuit of their coveted ends by such
| little matters as the constitution anu an
observance of it.
| I must leave it to the Observers
readers to decide whether the action of
the Des Moines Assembly which l quoted,
and which brings the Northern Church,
~ idI DIS Iu0 dCLlOu Oh the Assembly can
| do so, to the doctrinal position of the
Cumberland Church, "is very similar in
spirit and tone to that of the Memphis AS
sembly in initiating movement for or
gan1c union between the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church and the Presby-
terrain Church, South" also leave
1t to them to say whether or not
the Observer correctly represents our
Memphis Assembly in its statement
hot
land Presbyterians to unite with us
on the ground that they are of like mind
with us as to the doctrines of grace, and
as to the order and discipline of Gods
house."
The facts are briefly these: In re-
Spouse to an address from a deiegate rem
resenting the Cumberland Church, in
1866, our Assembly adopted report which
contained the language which the Obser-
yer quotes, Tut which does not appear
In the condensed account in Alexander's

TO our brethren of the Cumberland Pres
Dyter1an Church we would respectfully
suggest whether the time has not come to
consider the great importance to the king
dom of our common Master of their union
with us, by their adoption of the time
honored standards to which we adhere"
A committee was appointed to confer with

other things, as a basis of union their
adoption of the 'old standards, as they
were held by their fathers and ours pre-
