Denver. May 25.--'Let Rockefeller
and Carnegie alone-go into your own
pockets for college cndowments," was
the advice sown by Dr J c. stcncn.
Of Dubuque, before the general assem-
bly, Of the Presbyterian church this af-
tcrnoon for the benefit OF the laymcn.
The subject of college work was one
OF the several which aroused enthu-
siasm before the assembly during the
da.,
During the day il became apparent
that Chicago Instead of Atlantic city
ing place. but the subject was not Of
| hcially before the assembly 1t was
| officially decided that the expenditure
Of 100000 should be undergone In
the erection Of churches In the synod
| of Tennessee to replace those taken
from the church by the decision Of
the supreme court of the state, which
held the union of the Presbyterian
church in the United states OF Amer
| lea, and the Cumberland church. H.
| legal BY this decision a number Of
| G churches were regained by the dis
senters to the union and the action of
| the assembly now makes It possible
for the regular communicates to build
churches
In addition to thes actions the much
| disputed report of the committee on
administrative agencies together
with that of the report of the execu-
tive committee as well as the special
report of the commission were adopt
ed unanimously
! Tho address OF Or Stofien took the
place Of that whlch was to have bceu
delivered by tho secretary OF the board
Of colleges He called attention to the
lack OF Bible study IA the sectarian
schools and urged that a rule rcqulr-
ing at least f4i hours OF Bible study
IN each school year be made compul-
sorry in the case Of each egular sri-
| dent
The report of the committee on ad
mlnistrativo agencies nncarrtcred moi
objection aud was pass31 Tubstantall'
as submitted by Dr. J u Moffatt of
Pjttsburg. Perhaps the only active
recommendation Is that aach board IN
the church shan obtain leem advice
as to the enlargement Of IT, power ~
order that tho consolidation Of ti'
board powers may be accomplished
gradually and as quickly as possible
The report of the executive commit
tee as well as It's special report wa
accepted but with some debate, how
ever. Objection was made to the ap-
plicaticn Of only $4,000 TO tho TEN
erance board but it was pointed out
that this sum li 81 900 In excess of
the amount appropriated last year ana
with few other minor objections th q
rc' ort was passed

largest ia the history of the church |
