er decided to remain in the Arctic for
at least another year and 20 continue

BILL TO EXPEL N. Y.
PRESBYTERY MAY DIE
Assembly Committee Adjourns
Without Reporting Measure.

Atlantic City, y. J.. May 22.-At the
last moment to-day the Committee on
Bills and Overtures adjourned until
Wednesday without agreeing on the
proposed expulsion of New York Pres
bytery for alleged laxity in the con-
duct Of the Union Theological Semi
nary.
Nine hundred commissioners, dele
gates to the 128th meeting of the Cen
eral Assembly Of the Presbyterian
Church. had been waiting anxiously for
word from this committee, whose action
will largely shape the fate of the New
York Presbytery of the Presbyterian
Church in America.
The committee has adjourned until
Wednesday, and this may mean that
the resolutions against the New York
body may die in the committee cham
Der. If the committee does not report
the resolutions they automatically die.
Expulsion Of the New York com
munity from the body Of the church
has been asked by the presbyteries of
Cincinnati and Northumberland be-
cause of reported heterodox conditions
in the Union Theological Seminary. and
because students were admitted 20 the
ministry even though they did not
subscribe TO the dogma of the immacu-
late conception.
