MAY GUST HEAD
OF SEMINARY
President Of Union May be
Placed on Trial by the
General Assembly
By The United Press.

BY The United Press.
ATLANTIC CITY. May 22--With the
second week of the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly begun, chief interest
was in the outcome Of the various
heresay trials and the act on on the
reports of the committees of depart
mental consolidation, church union,
and church extension to the masses
So far as the report Of the judicial
committee in the Brown case was con-
cerned It was generally accepted that
it would report in favor of immedi-
ately placing the President of Union
Theological Seminary on trial. There
is a general feeling among the dele
gates that the question should be
finally disposed of and all preachers
not doctrinely sound compelled to
sever their connection with the Pres
byterian ministry.
Those who believe Dr. Brown and
the others will be forced out of the
church, point to a paragraph in
Moderator Carson's sermon Of yester-
day as bearing out their contention.
He said:
THE Church must accept and be-
lieve the Bible without equivocation
or compromise and must proclaim its
full orbed revelation"
