CHURCH SPLIT
TO Be CLOSED
NORTHERN AND CUMBERLAND
PREsBYTERIANS PLAN TO
REUNlTE.
DIVIDED ALMOST A CENTURY
CUMBERLAND DELEGATE CASTS
THE ONLY DISSENTING
VOTE.

ST. Louis, Dec. 31.-After a division
of almost n hundred years, and at a
time when Torrey and Alexander are
laying the groundwork for an interde-
nominatioral Protestant, old-fashioned
revival movement OF continental
scope, steps were contaminated yes
terday in the joint session OF general
committees, which, when formally
ratified, will unite the Northern Pres
byterian church, u. S. A, and the
Cumberland Presbyterian church. AL
most two days have been consumed
by subcommittee in arranging details
for the union. Their reports were sub
mitted to the general committees rep
resenting each church yesterday
morning. Within two hours the two
general committees had met in joint
session and agreed upon a basis for
the union of the two UNCONVENTIONAL
bodies.
Will Be Ratified in May.
This agreement will be reported to
the general assembly of the Presby-
terian church, meeting at Des Moines
on May II, 1906, and of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, meeting at
Decatur, ILL.,, on the same date, for
formal ratification by these two exec
utive assemblies, which will be fol-
lowed by the official announcement
that the union of the two churches
has finally been consummated.
1t was stated that on the joint bal.
lot on the question of the proposed
union there was but one dissenting
vote, that being cast by Elder T. w
Keller of Knoxville, Tenn, a member
of the Cumberland committee.
History Of the Division.
In 1910 the Cumberland Presbyteri.
county, Tenn, by three Presbyterian
ministers who had withdrawn from
the Presbyterian church on Feb. 4 OF
that year. The division arose con
corning the extreme doctrine of pre-
destination and certain other ques.
tions of practices in ordination OF
ministers who did not fully conform to
classical standards in the ~Presbyteri.
an church, those who protested in.
SiSting that the e~Xlgenc1eS or frontier
life demanded occasional exceptions
to the established rule.
Many Efforts Fail.
Numerous efforts to unity the two
church bodies made since that time
have failed. Every effort in this di
rection was fruitless until the revis.
ion by the Presbyterians of their con
fession of faith in 1903 opened the
way.
Immediately following this a gen
eral committee was appointed by each
church to formulate a basis upon
| which to effect a union. These com
mittees met in ST. Louis two years
| ago and began the steps that were
completed yesterday, the ultimate re
| suit of which will be the union of the
two churches in name and in fact.

given a personal order to all gamblers
in this city to close up their houses
