one THOUSAND VACANT
Soothorn Presbyterians are Now
in Session at Lewisburg, VIVA.
Work of the Presbytcry

| W "a VA viz ASoAl
Lewisburg, w. Va, May IL
With more than l 900 vacant pull
pits in the church the Southern
Presbyterian church in general as
sembly here received an appeal today
from the executive committee on
ministerial education and relief, for
larger funds.
AT the same time the committee
asked for more funds for the invit-
ing and wasting fields in the home
land, and the clear challenge of
the heather world"
The committee also suggested to
the assembly the advisability Of the
preparation of the ministry to facili-
tate the calling Of pastors. All these
matters were referred to a commit
tee for report,
The third day of the assembly OPP
ened with the question of remodel
ing the business organization of the
church before it. The debate on
the proposed reduction of executive
committees from six to four was in
terrupted yesterday by adjournment.
Before it resumed today, however,
several reports of committees were
heard and the election Of a perma-
nent clerk to succeed DR.. Law, just
made stated clerk, was taken up.
Greetings were also telegraphed
to the Northern Presbytcrians in as
sembly at Atlantic City, the South
ern MethodiSts at AsheviIe, and the
Cumberland Presbyterians at Dick
son.
Although the election of perma-
nent clerk was postponed, the as
sembly did not find time enough in
the morning session to dispose of
any feature of the coordination re.
port. The relation of the church
to the negroes of the south was the
stumbling block. 1t was proposed
to make colored CHARACTERIZATION de-
partment under home missions, in
stead of allowing it to remain under
an independent committee. Before
the storm of debate broke over this
question, DR.. Bachman, moderator
of the assembly and chairman of the
coordination committee was called
on for an address. He told of the
business ability of the laity and OF
the experience of the preachers on
the committee.
Consolidation is in the air, said
he, and we want to do the Lords
work in business like manner.
DR.. w. E. Boggs, of Atlanta, ad-
vocated the adoption of the CONSOLE
dation recommendation, urging par
ticularly that it would not injure
colored church work which he fav-
ored. Il believe that the wrath of
God will be turned loose on our peo-
pie who let human feelings hinder
advancement of the Kingdom of
God among negroes" he said.
To the surprise of many DR.. Jas. |
Snedecor, secretary of the colored |
work announced he had been con-
verified to the consolidation plan. !
He said it was in line with the new
of having white men in
charge of work among the colored |
people,
