Organlo Union.
Closer relation* of the Presbyterian
churches will he an Important matter
to be discussed at the general assem
bly. Discussion of this subject has ex
tended over five years and Anal action
will doubtless be taken by the assem
bly at thl* muting. The movement In
the Presbyterian and Reformed church
es bad Its genesis In tbs foreign mis
sion fleld and plane were formed among
those eburch workers In heathen coun
tries for dour relations between mls-
stonarlu In Japan, China, Mexloo and
every part of the pagan world. Th*
first effort to bring about such a move.
K nt among the churches In the United
itcs occurred when a number of
Presbyterian ministers living In Nash
ville orertured the general > a*aembly,
which met In Jackson, Miss.; In >1901
to appoint a committee to> consider th
advisability of organic union with the
Dutch Reformed (Presbyterian) church.
The overture was referred to a com
mlttse of which Dr. II. C. DuBose was
chairman. The committee brought In
a majority and a minority report—the
majority report expressed "the opinion
that a question of such grave Impor
tance should come before the assem
bly In a mors official manner; and that
we deem It Inadvisable to take action
until th* desire of the two churches Is
moro definitely known." The minority
report recommended the appointment
of suck a committee. Both reports
were placed upon the docket and were
not takep up until the last day of the
session, when Judge Buckner suggest
ed that "we are too near the dose of
the session to undertake such an Im
portant matter.” Since that time the
subject has come up at every succeed
ing assembly, a Joint committee bolng
appointed from the Southern and the
Cumberland churches for the purpose
of drawing up articles of agreement.
Overtures touching these articles from
twenty presbyteries were rccolved by
the assembly In areenvlllo last year.
The assembly directed that tho ques
tion should be sent down to. all .the
presbyteries for their expression upon
them. A majority of the presbyteries
that have acted upon them, It Is claim
ed, have been favorable to tho articles
of agreement for closer relations with
other Presbyterian churches. This fact
makes the question one of the lives!
Issues at the coming assembly.
