CHURCH TODAY NEEDS
0LD-STYLE PREACHERS
Speaker at Presbyterian Conference
Urges Return to "Expositive
Evangelism

CHICAGO. May 22.-The report of the
permanent committee on evangelism was
the principal subject considered by the
delegates to the 126th General Assembly
OF the Presbyterian Church in the United
States at the morning session today.
The report showed that 147 conferences
and institutes on evangelism had been
held and that $4,000 had been expended
in the work. The General Assembly was
asked to authorize the committee to APP
point J. Wilbur Chapman. the evan
gelist. as representatives. Large. and to
appoint such special evangelistic repre-
sentatives as necessary.
Wants Expositive Preaching.
An appeal for the "od style evangel-
ism was made by DIR. Joseph r. Davis
of Philadelphia, who declared that there
never was time when expositive preach
ing was more needed than now
I. Evangelistic work in eastern colleges
was described by Rev. Henry c. Minton
of; Trenton, n. j.. who said that Presi-
dent Wilson, while Governor of New
Jersey. had expressed the opinion that
1T was great gain that official direction
of student activities had ceased and that
leadership was in the hands of the stu
dent body"
Two Sides to Question.
There are two sides to the question,
said Mr.. Minton. II would dislike to see
religious training in Presbyterian col
leges left to individual tuition
(; DR.. c. g. Manly of Philadelphia spoke
of evangelical conferences. I'VE used
to call these evangelistic conferences "re-
treats. Now we are getting to dislike
the word. The church has been retreat
ing too long and is now advancing"
There was entire absence of clashes
in the election yesterday of Rev. DIR.
Maitland Alexander of Pittsburgh to the
office of moderator.
