Sunday Excursions.

son will Go to the Twin
Cities on June Sd.

The Great Western railway has decid-
ed to take an Independent stand in the
matter of popular Sunday excursions,
and will continue to run them during
the summer season as heretofore
Some opposition has developed as to
the desirability of running these eXcur
sions. and the Great Western officials
have taken the position that as it is
the only day of the week on which a GER
tain class can get away from their
work, it is their desire to give them a
days recreation at a minimum expense.
The first of the series will be run
from Mankato Sunday, June Bird, to the
twin cities, and no doubt will be lber-
ally patronized by those whom appre
ciate the action of the Great Western
in this matter.

MINI MAN IN RACE
Rev A. B. Marshall May Pre-
side Over Assembly.

Minneapolis, My l2.-The generl assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church, over
which AIinneapolitans sincerely hope
Rev. DR.. A. B. Marshall will preside as
moderator, convenes in Des Moines,
Iowa, Thursday of next week, May II.
| There will be about 1000 commits
sioners in attendance, one minister and
one layman for every twenty four min
listers in every presbytery. Minneapo-
lis presbytery will be represented by
Rev. A. r. Marshall pastor of First
Presbyterian church; Rev. G.. P. Magill,
pastor of Oliver; Elders f. l. Heaton of
Stewart Memorial, and A. Bierma of
Fifth church.
This assembly will be memorable in
church annals as the one at which will
| be taken the final steps for uniting the
great Presbyterian church, with it's L.
| 100000 members, and the Cumberland
Presbyterian, 100000 strong. This I'M
ion is a subject of much rejoicing among
Presbyterians generally. Joint commit
| tees of each church have conferred and
previous to this reported their agree
ment which action has been approved
by the governing bodies of each denomi-
nation. With the terms of the union def
nitely settled, it only remains for the
coming assembly to arrange for the two
denominations to meet hereafter as one
In this connection there is much detail
work in the uniting of the various boards
and committees and planning the method
of future operation.
The assembly will also make an ex-
haustive review of the operation of the
church departments, the missionary
| work, the administrative features, the
| tional organizations. Reports will be
received in detail from all these depart
ments and will have to be acted upon
| in open assembly.
Dr. A. B. Marshall's candidacy for
moderator is being theoretically pushed
by his friends, although DR.. Marshall
himself is taking position of COM
parative retirement in the matter and
letting affairs shape themselves. Rev
George p Magill of Oliver church, seems
to be taking leading hand in the work
of securing the honorable position of
moderator for the Minneapolis candi
date. Hundreds of letters have been
received by ministers of the Minneapo-
lis presbytery, some of them in re-
Spouse to communications relative to
DR.. Marshall, but large part of them
absolutely unsolicited, promising their
support toward the election of Dr. Mar
shall and saying pleasant things about
his qualifications for the position. DIR.
Marshall is a former pastor of the very
church in Des Moines in which the as
sembly is to convene.

Selection of this route, 1t is assert
