pointed to consider differences be-
tween the Presbyterian church and
the Union Theological Seminary OF

laymen that an amicable agreement
mutually beneficial might be ar
ranged and to this view the majority
of the committee agreed asking for
another years time
DIR. Frank Monfort, of Cincinnati,
submitted minority report IN
which he declared that members OF
the seminary faculty had failed 70

ing their belief and that the answers
they had given indicated they had no

ian Assembly unanimously adopted

union to the supreme judiciary of
all Presbyterian churches in America.
The resolution was contained in the
