considering the question of closer re-
lations with the Presbyterian and oth-
err denominations, made it's report to
the convention mere to-day, action on
the report was postponed, and further
discussion of the subject was de-
ferred. The report was as follows:
Whereas there is marked historic
harmony between these two denomi-
nations in the maintenance of great
truths, in which they have a common
heritage, and of which they have d
common custodianship: and
Whereas there is urgent need OF CO.
operation in the great work OF evan

fields; therefore be 1t
Resolved "a. That there should be
closer federating Of the two denomi-
nations and more clearly defined
drawing together of their church ac-
tivities in all ways consistent with a
loyal adherence to their distinctive
principles.
"Resolved (o), That contiguous
.
the same field of both churches should
be authorized by the respective Gen
eral Assemblies to put into effective
form plans of federative work: con-
ference with reference to any plan to
be had with the boards or other gen.

tlnuance of the present committees On

The convention decided to me-
morialize Congress to pass immediate

ton of fight pictures from State to

johnson fight was precipitated by

secretary of the Lords Day Alliance,
who in speech advocating an easier
Sunday for pos,ai employees blamed
the apathy of the clergy for what he
termed the degrading contest between
two brutes on independence Day.
