JACK O'BRIEN FIGHTS
DRAW WITH CHAMPION

Philadelphia, May 20.-Jack John
son the big colored heavyweight
champion failed to win over Jack
|O'Brien. the Philadelphia light heavy
weight last night in six round bout.
The fight was even and the consen-
sus of opinion was that it should
have been B draw had decision
been permissible. O'Brien's marvel
ously fast footwork and his superior
blocking saved him from damage in
several close mixups and three times
he was forced to his knees by the
great strength and weight of Johnson
in the clinches. 1t was slow fight,
OBrien doing the greater part of the
leading. Johnson was slow on his
feet and appeared to be not in the
best of condition. Repeatedly the
champion rushed his smaller antagon-
list but seldom landed effectively. a
right hand counter in the fifth cut o.
Brien's right eye and this was the
sum total Of the damage done in the
six rounds.
O'Brien was in and out like flash
in nearly every round. stabbing John
son on the face, but the blows lacked
force and had no effect other than to
make the big black man grin and
wave his hand at the crowd. The
spectators cheered wildly when
IOBrien landed.
Referee McGulgan said after the
fight that O'Brien did remarkably well
under the circumstances He weigh
ed 162 IL pounds while Johnson's
acknowledged weight was at least 205.

FULLERTON PLEADS FOR
LESS RIVALRY.

Denver, May 20. - The 121st gen.
eral assembly of the Presbyterian
church convened at the Central Pres
byterian church in this city at IL
O'Clock this morning. The chief work
of the day is the election of a mod
orator, and after the formal morning
session, at which the retiring moder-
ator delivered his address, the COM
missioners as delegates are called
and adjourned until 8 o'clock. when
lbaIloting win begin for moderator.
The indications early today We're
that one ballot will be sufficient. The
chances of Rev. George p Hill Of
Chicago, are greatly enhanced by the
withdrawal Of pr. Robert Mackenzie
Of New York. and Dr. Howard Agnew
Johnson of Colorado Springs. 1t is
believed that their followers win sup
port DIR. Hill. Dr. VIM. L. McEwan Of
Pittsburg, and DR.. James Morrison of
Detroit are still in the field.
Rev. B. P. Fullerton. of st. Louis.
retiring moderator, delivered his ad-
dress at today's session. He said In
part:
"It is important at time like ours
in the life of the church that we con-
slider with care some things about.
which there is need of larger and
clearer vision. When accredited
ministers of the church deliberately
cast suspicion upon truth so fun
damental as the deity of Christ, is
the time not ripe for the church to
declare itself? Arianism is not so
bold now nor so blatant as in the
past 1t would be less dangerous If /.
1t were. Its approach is subtle now,
it conceals itself behind plausible
theories and to the uninitiated ap-
pears as well-established truth. The
hurt, however, to the cause comes
rather from lack of positive con-
viction in the church upon this great
doctrine, lack of well defined no
tions concerning it which do not hes
itate to defend themselves.
The church also needs a view of
its own character, functions and re-
sources. What is the church but the
of the redeemed, the body
Of which He is the head, the branch
of which He is the vine, The church
is, therefore, a unit. There are diff
ferent functions, but one body. Spir-
itual unity, co we say? Yes,s redeem
cd nv the same blood. deriving its
life from the same vine, guided by
the same head and resting on the
same foundation, and yet engaging in
denomination struggle for
supremacy that pays poor homage
to Him whom it calls Head and Lord.
Is that the way spiritual unity ex-
presses itself? Does not spiritual
unity express itself rather in organic
unity or some kind of organic feder-
alton which gives proof of the exis-
tence of that deeper and more signif-
icant unity which we call spiritual?
'The denomination contentious of
today can but impress the world
unfavorably. What a waste of men
and money, iand what for? To bring
Christ tosthe world2 Alas too often
to build up our particular sect, and
yet there still comes ringing down
the centuries that prayer of our Lord
which He offered in the very shadow
