PREsBYTERIANs DISAGREE.
Want Bible and Christianity Given
More Prominence.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 27.-
Discord entered for the first time
into the proceedings Of the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church
OF America, while the report of the
committee on administrative agencies
was under discussion. 1t was APP
parent during the heated discussion
OF the report that there is in the gem
eral assembly a strong sentiment in
favor OF reorganization of the admin
istrative agencies OF the church by
changing the personnel OF this inn
portant committee, although a mo-
ton to that effect was defeated. 1t
was declared that too much power
was given to the 21 members of the
committee, and that no officer of any
board OF the church except the mod
orator should belong to the admins
trative agencies committee.
During the discussion of the report
of the committee on colleges the
speakers expressed dissatisfaction
THAT the Bible and Christianity are
not given more prominence by the
grammar schools OF the country, One
speaker cited an instance OF objec-
ton being raised to the singing of
Christmas carols in a public school.
DR.. William McKibben, OF Cinein-
natl, said that college teachers must
be men of right character. II do not
subscribe to the belief that there is
any affinity between learning and
impiety." he said. He said there was
a university instructor In Cincinnati
who teaches philosophy in the class
room and free love outside"
DR.. Mark Mathews of Seattle urg-
ed the members of the church to send
their boys and girls to the Preshy-
terrain colleges. He insisted that the
colleges had the right to demand
the money and students from the
church members necessary to their
support.
Seattle, Denver and Oklahoma City
have entered the campaign for next
years assembly. and Seattle seems
to be favored by most of the com
missioners.
Reports were submitted on the
progress OF the missionary efforts OF
the church among laboring men
Immigrants. the Indians and all other
classes at home. which the church
Is trying TO reach, and general dis
cussion of the subject of home mis-
sions followed.
The board for the first time In
three years. reported a debt of SAT-.
900. but It was explained that this
was due to the assumption OF the
work of the anti-saloon league and
condemn child labor,
