Presbylerians May
Discuss Withdrawal
From Council Today
B, the Associated Press.

MONTREAL, N. c., May 29.-The
question of withdrawal from the
Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America may come before
the General Assembly of the Presby-
terian Church in the United States
today.
Docketed was a report of the
standing Committee on Bills and
Overtures, Which had before 1t seven
overtures on the subject. Some
asked withdrawal, others merely
that the Question be reconsidered.
One overture said the "constitu-
ency Of the Federal Council includes
organizations which are not evan
gelical; and many of the prac-
tices of the Federal Council have
offended the Christian sensibilities
of every regenerated child of God,
e.g.. denying the diety of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the efficacy of atone
ment, the fact of new birth"
It also said the assembly in May,
1941, re-entered the council with
out the expressed will of the ma
jority of our presbyteries."
DR.. c. L. King of Houston, Tex,
moderator, told the assembly yester-
day that if idealism failed in the
peacemaking, a third world war
would result.
DR.. King spoke of Woodrow Will
sons idealism and said America
failed to live up to the pattern of
peace he presented. He recalled
President Wilson'S prophecy of a
second war If idealism failed and
predicted third if we fail now.
The assembly observed the an
nual communion service, led by DR..
D. w. Richardson, Richmond, Va,
and Frank c. Brown, Dallas, Tex,
both past moderators, assisted by
elders commissioners attending the
assembly.
A popular meeting in the interest
OF home missions was held yester-
day afternoon. Indian, Negro, Mex
lean and Italian commissioners sat
on the platform.
The Rev. S. B. Lapsley, Abingdon,
Va, telling OF the 1914 home mis-
sion emergency campaign to raise
$3.50 900, submitted a report which
said 63 per cent Of the people in
the United States, or $1,000, 600,
were in no church; that 10000 900
young people received no religious
instruction: that the crime bill was

Months passed. Then a break came

on another case, Potter saw a large

He had heard of many dogs, but

Perhaps, he thought, the murderer

to keep the dog. Maybe, in their fear,
they had put the animal TO death.
