defeated.
The matter of modern theology and
courses Of study to meet with modern
conditions came up ia the report Of the
committee on theological seminaries. The
recommendation Of the committee said
that while there was a demand for ad-
Vanced teaching. il was their belief that

Criticism fell upon instructors because
OF their alleged failure to apply the Pres

ana the outcome of the discussion was
the adoption of a recommendation that

laymen make inquiries as to advanced
courses of study and the advisability OF
introducing courses in social science.
The report of the committee on church
erection was adopted. except for a reso-
luton recommending mutual insurance
organization for the protection of church
property. II was believed by the COM
mittee that such an Organization would
bring about saving of money. This was
referred 10 the executive com mission.
