Presbyterians to
 Act Today Upon.
 Tnter-Church Plan

Charlotte, N. C., May 24-Final ac- tion by the Southern Presbyterian general assembly on the question of it's future relation to the Inter- Ichurch World Movement was de- ferred late today until Wednesday morning, after majority and minority reports, the former recommending continued cooperation and the lat ter withdrawal, had been presented by members of the standing commit tee on bills and overtures.
 The two reports and an amendment to the minority report were before the assembly when the afternoon session was adjourned and consider ation went over as unfinished busi- ness. There was no debate, other than brief formal addresses in pres entation of the reports and the pro- posed amendment.
 The proposed amendment to the minority report also would have the assembly decline further to cooper ate with the ter-church movement. but would approve the principle of cooperation of the movement and would have the assembly endorse a possible program of the movement lon which the churches of Christ may unite."
 The majority report comments the spirit of the executive committee Gin carrying out the instructions of the last general assembly and recom- mends that this assembly authorize the payment for amounts to the in ter-church movements; by the com mittee on foreign missions $15,000; home missions committee $5,000; Christian education and ministerial relief $5,000; publication and Sun day school work, $2,50O The re- port further reaffirms hearty en- dorsement of the movement and bids it Godspeed.
 "That the assembly decline to CO., operate further with the movement is the terse recommendation of the minority report.
 The assembly today adopted the report of the standing committee on foreign missions, which elicited the first debate of the session. The ex- ccutive committee on foreign mis- sions recommended that Rev. Dr. Charles H. Pratt be elected as it's field secretary. This recommends
 tion was not mentioned in the standing committees report, which
 recommended that Rev. Dr. J. O.
 Reavis be elected as the field and forign secrtary for a period of three vars. This latter report was adopt ed, including the election of Dr. Reavis.
 The foreign missions report show
 ed that the contributions of the Southern Presbyterian church during the past year were increased over those of the preceding year by $323, 904, bringing the total for the year to $1,115,345.
 Rev. s. L. Morris and Dr. Bonner McMillan tonight addressed pub lie meeting in the interest of the assembly's home mission work.
