PREsBYTER|ANs MEET
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church Will Be Held at Kansas
City, Beginning Tomorrow.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Kansas City, Mo-, May 20-Through,
out the day commissioners to the one
hundred and twentieth convocation oil
the General Assembly of the Presby
terrain church, which convenes in Con
vention hall at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning, have been coming in, and by
tomorrow morning all of those who
will attend will be in the city. Many
of the delegates from the East came
in by special trains. Every arrange
ment for the comfort of the one thou
sand commissioners and other visitors
has been completed, and the spacious
Convention hail. which commands the
admiration of all, is ready for DR..
Roberts, the retiring moderator, to
step to the platform and deliver the
opening sermon.
All the Southern and Southwestern
states will this year, for the first time,
be represented in the assembly, max
ing it truly national body.
One of the first orders of business
will be the election of a new mod
orator to succeed DR.. Roberts. There
is a probability of some one from the
ranks of the Cumberland ministers be
ing chosen. Several names are being
discussed today, among those most
prominently mentioned being the Rev.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Fullerton of
St Louis. The nominating speeches
will be limited to ten minutes, with
allowance for only one speech to sec
ond the motion, and this not over five
minutes
With the union with the Cumberland
church effected and the legal matters
with respect to the combined owner
ship of property being adjusted, the
latest question to be considered will
be as to whether the church shall have
an executive or judicial commission,
with power to settle questions in the
interim between meetings of the gen
eral assembly, with the moderator as
its chairman. The plan goes further
and suggests that each synod have an
executive commission and that each
presbytery have similar body. 1t is
prophesied that there will be lively
debate on the suggestion, the indica-
tons being, it seems, that there are
many more opponents than friends of
the plan.
In all likelihood the next assembly |
will be held in Seattle, though there is
some talk of holding it in Texas
Seattle seems to have the call, how
ever, and it is generally believed the
invitation from that city will be ac-
cepted. 1t is now five years since the |
assembly met on the Pacific coast.
