DELEGATE STARTLES
SOUTHERN SYNOD
CONVENTION AND ITS BOARDS
ARE OPERATING ILLEGAL
LY He SAYS.
OPINION EMINENT LAWYERS
Sensation Created During Business
Session Of the Southern Church at
New Orleans-ConsoIi Iidation Of
Three Important Boards Up.
New Orleans

New oL.''ta-~.
A decided sensation was created IN
the Southern Baptist convention II
New Orleans when J. F. BrowGlow. q
banker and lay delegate from CoiUm-
bia. Tenn. declared on the floor that
high legal authority. which he had
consulted had held that the conVen-
ton. together with its various boards
which handle several million dollars
annually. were operating illegally ana
that under the laws the convention
had no legal Jurisdiction over its az
filiatpd boards. Mr.. BrOwnlOw's as
sertions were made during DISCUSSION
of motion to adopt the report OF the
committee on consolidation or the
home and foreign mission boards ana
the Sunday school board Of the de-
nomination. a proposition which has
been the subject Of considerable con
troversy in convention for several
years past. The Columbia delegate )
statement Of the case appeared 10 ere
ate a profound impression.
The minority favored tabling the
whole question. In the revised report
submitted to the convention which
was a compromise between the two
elements in the committee, it was rec
commended that the three boards re-
main separate as at presentand that
an executive committee Of seven be
elected annually TO have oversight OF
the arrangements for the convention
and act for the convention in the IN
term Of its meetings on necessary
matters and that the committee also
be empowered to act in an advisory
way on all questions submitted TO 1t
on matters arising between the three
boards and the state boards, but only
on reuuest of one or more Of the
boards concerned"
\ motion 70 adopt this report was
made and seconded and seemed IN
fair way to be adopted when Mr..
Brownlow took the floor. He stated
he had consulted eminent lawyers re-
garding the status Of the convention
and its board and had been advised
they were operating illegally. The
Southern Baptist Convention, he men
toned, was incorporated under an act
Of the Georgia Legislature in 1St5.
and that later the boards were inCOr-
porated separately under the laws OF
different states-the foreign mission
board in Virginia, the home board in
Georgia and the Sunday school board
in Tennessee.
