mended that the church building pro-
gram be made a part of this particu-
lar fund. Overtures asking that the

general aSsembly's regular benevolent
budget were declined. Only two eX-
ira calls for funds during the year
are favored in the recommendations.
OYertureS requesting that the action
of previous assembly granting
Montreal 100000 from the equipment
budget be rescinded were diSapproved
by the committee.

| mittees of the assembly was

Among the other overtureS acted
upon by this committee was one
asking an amendment to the church
constitution so as to allow any

elders and deacons for a limited
term of service, the length of time
| for such service to be, determined
by the church. The question was

that the assembly was controlled by
a liberal machine and that his resolu-
tion had been steam rollered by group
Of church politicians.
Indulge in Personalities.
The defeat of Mr.. Bryan's resolu-
tion came at the end of a stormy ses-
sion, in which the fundamentalists

terry, protesting against the doctrines
preached by Harry Emerson Fosdick.

that the New York Presbytery
which is now investigating the Fos-
dick case, be asked to submit its find
ings to the assembly next year.
The Rev. A. Gordon MacClennar
OF Philadelphia, the only dissenting
member of the committee. submitted
a minority report, demanding that
the assembly direct the New York
Presbytery to take such action as
will require the preaching and teach
ing in the First Presbyterian Church
of New York to conform to the sys-
tenn of doctrines taught in the con-
fession of faith"
The minority resolution reiterates
