Since United States citizens do not
call foreign nations by their native

card. In rural districts the peasants
know of America but many of them
have never heard of the United
States.
The world habit of misnaming ma

cannot agree on their own names, SO
the world must fix on some form. One

Modernism Affects Election
of Moderator, Union and
Licensing Pastors.
BY the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, May 27.-Three tilts
on modernism and fundamentalism
lay before the general assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America, which opened its
annual convention here today.
The first of these clashes on inter
probation Of the scripture was set for
this afternoon when a new moderator
is TO be elected.
Both Of the candidates. DR. Lapsley
A. McAfee of Berkeley, Calf, and
DR. William o. Thompson of Coium-
bus, Ohio, are fundamentalists. but
the latter was known to have liberal
support The opinions of the dele
gates have been divided so evenly
that none would forecast the result of
the election.
This election. which recurs annu.
ally, was set for the afternoon, after
DR. Charles r. Erdman of Princeton,
y. j.. had delivered his final sermon
as retiring moderator at Ahe morning
meeting. The remainder OF the morn
ing session was occupied with re-
ligious observance and announce
mentS.
Report on Church Union.
The first important business to come
before the convention under the un-
named moderator will be the report OF
the committee of fifteen, appointed
last year to frame program whereby
the two wings of the church might De
brought together. This report will be
prese nted at ESQ tomorrow. after
final secret meeting of the committee
tonight.
The third phase of the liberalism
question will occur in the trial" of
the New York Presbytery. Three
complaints have been filed against
this presbytery.
The complainants are led by DR..
Walter D. Buchanan, who year ago
complained to the General Assembly
because the New York Presbytery
licensed Rev. Charles G. Fuller and
Rev. Cameron Parker Hall to preach
when their attitude concerning Blbll-
cal teachings. such as the virgin
birth, did not satisfy a minority OF
the presbytery. AS a result Of the
decision of the General Assembly a
year ago rebuking the New York
Presbytery for licensing candidates
whose orthodoxy was in question. the
New York Presbytery virtually went
on strike" in deciding not to license
candidates for the ministry during
the current year.
Licensing Called Duty.
The compliments charged that it
is the constitutional duty of the pres
bytery to consider all applicants for
license, and the charge is made that
young men are being kept from the
ministry in New York, although
churches are open to them if the pres
bytery would license them.
The case will be referred to the
permanen judicial committee which
will hear it in executive session and
report to the General Assembly to-
ward the close of the convention
The assembly also will receive from
San Francisco Presbytery an invita-
ton to hold the assembly of 1927
there. with Calvary Presbyterian
Church as the official host.
Special time will be tassigned dur
ing the convention to hear each of the
four major boards of the church, di-
recting foreign missions, national mis-
sions, Christian education and minis
terial pensions. These will account
for the expenditures of about S10.000,-
900 for benevolences.
