Speaking for the executive commits
sion. DR.. j. Ross Stevenson recommended
the consolidating OF the Board OF Educa-
ton and College Board. These boards
are at present Incorporated. the College
BOARD under the laws Of Illinois and
the Board OF Education under the laws
Of Pennsylvania. A plan to consolidate
the boards under the Pennsylvania char
ter. with a suitable enlargement OF its
provisions, was rejected as !mpract'cable.
George V. Massey. counsel for the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, spoke In favor
of the first named plan. but warned III"
assembly that legal difficulties might
arise. Immediately one COMMISSIONS
came forward with a resolution against
the consolidation, owing to the legal
difficulties. The discussion OF this i'm
portant subject vii! be continued to-
morrow.
Franklin l.. Sheppard Of the Presbytery
of Philadelphia North. challenged the au-
thority OF the executive commission to
give orders to P~resbyteries. in discussing
a report OF the executive commission pre-
sented BY the Rev. DR.. j. Ross Stevenson.
The report dealt with certain cases in
connection with Southern Presb, teries.
IL maintain that there is nothing In
the constitution of the Presbyterian
Church which authorizes the executive
commission to give Instructions to a
Presbytery." said Mr.. Sheppard. lie
was referring to such expressions in the
commissions report as "the commission
directs the ~Presbytery of Jefferson and
1.-THE Presbytery of Jefferson Is hereby
enjoined by the executive commission"
In reply to this criticism. DR.. Steven
son said the executive commission had
been authorized by the General Assem-
bly, of 1915 to settle these cases.. and
1t IA merely obeying instructions.
The Rev. DR., William II. Roberts read
sections from the Presbyterian Manual
which showed that the commission had
power to act. w%hereupon Mr.. Sheppard 4
motion to refer this part OF the report
back to the committe was voted down.
As the vote was being taken one OF
the commissioners remarked audibly
1--WE evidently have a house of bishops
in the Presbyterian Church."

LEADERS OPPOSE STRIFE

ATLANTIC CITY. y. j.. May 22.-The
General Assembly OF the Presbyterian
Church approved the recommendation OF
the Rev. Dr. J. Ross Stevenson to-day
and agreed to let the committee OF bills
and %overturcs retain charge for the
present OF III. overturcs which involve a
prosecution OF the New York Presbytery
for hercsy."
Just why the committee asked for an
extension of time the assembly did not
pre- tend to understand. although the COM
mittee had been expected to advise the
assembly to-day just how TO proceed
with the case. II Is the general impress
sion thai the committee and the conven-
ton both favor the case Of the New YORK
P~rcsbytery. although the attacking Gle
ment is large. there being almost two
score of complaining overtures.
The convention leaders all seem to
ia vor the cause of New York. and every
ruling that has been made has been In

The circulation of this brief is believed
10 he the reason why the committee on
bills and oycrturcs has decided to con-
slider further before giving i,s opinion -
the general assembly. Dr. Fox's brief
reads in part:
THE issue raised is a perfectly simple
one, namely. IL the Bible itself the

aside on the ipse dixit of a clique of spec
