CHURCH WILL ACT
Cumberland Presbyterians to
Consider Union.
Rev. s. II. Eshman Returns From DE.
catur and viii Leave Decision
TO the Congregation.
NEW ORGANIZATION TO COME

The Presbyterian assembly which
held its last session yesterday in De-
catur, ILL.,, accomplished far-reach-
ing result when it united the Cumber-
land and Presbyterian churches. which
is evidenced in one particular by the
pronounced opposition still remaining
among many preachers and laymen Of
the Cumberland church.
The Rev. 8. II. Eshman, pastor OF
the local Cumberland church, attend
ed the assembly and says that from
50 900 to 100000 members and
about 500 preachers of the Cumber-
land church do not favor the union
II has been determined to hold an as
sembly in May, 1907, at Dickson,
Tenn. OF these members and preach
ers to form new and separate church
which will bear the old name of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. This
decision was reached at meeting
held Thursday afternoon after the
general assembly had voted to unite
the churches. II was in Dickson,
Tenn, 95 years ago that the Cumber-
land church was organized and the
new Cumberland church composed OF
the members and preachers who re-
fused to ratify the action of the as
sembly. have chosen the same town
as suitable place to launch the new
Cumberland church.
The Cumberland church OF this city
has not committed itself yet, but 1t Is
understood that the congregation will
not be governed by the action OF the
uniting assembly, but will decide
whether to accept the union or reject
1t as best suits the needs and interests
of the local church.
The matter will be presented to
the church by DR.. Eshman at an early
date. Those congregations OF the
Cumberland church who favor the
union wifi lose their identity as far as
the name is concerned, the united
church being STYLED the Presbyterian
Church of the United States of Amer
lea. BY the union the Cumberland
church has officially gone out of ex-
istence, so that It will be the business
OF the proposed new church to effect a
complete reorganization and elect all
the higher officers of the church.
