NORTHERN ASSEMBLY NOTES.
The next meeting will be held In Atlantic
City, in the Auditorium on the
Steel pier.
The moderator was an ex-Confederate
soldier, not a general, as some of the
papers stated, but a private.
Calvin's anniversary took an afternoon.
Drs. Dosker, E. P. Hill, McKibben, Schaff,
and Darby, delivered the addresses. The
last named Is an ex-Cumberlander.
The CemtraJ Chutfch was admirably
adapted to the Assembly's needs, in size,
committee rooms, and convenience of arrangements.
Many wished that it might
be carried around to all the meetings.
Drt Darby's speech. In the recent Calvin
celebration of Nashville Presbytery
(ex-Cumberland), shows that the annexed
brethren have become great admirers of
a man whose name was until lately anything
but a joy to them.
Three or four gavels, all very historic
in materials or having special local interest,
were presented. The moderator
playfully remarked that he had enough
to throw at the heads of members who
would not obey the usual signals.
A resolution deploring "the use of tobacco
in any form by the clergy of the
Presbyterian Church," and recommending
"the discouragement of its use by any
Presbyterian minister," was passed, after
a Philadelphia divine had added an
amendment to make it cover the laymen
as well!
The not infrequent mixing of Scripture
references made by wire probably took
place in the transmission of a fraternal
greeting from a colored church. Even
the astute stated clerk could make nothing
of the words, "Did I make a gain of
you, by any of them whom 1 sent unto
you?" Some are inclined to think that
the message was what it was intended
to be, a somewhat pointed inquiry.
The usual string of political or semipolitical
resolutions was /passed. One
was that favoring the International Conference
of Peace and declaring against
any further increase in armament. Another
was a memorial to Congress "protecting
against the nation sharing in the
liquor traffic by deriving revenue from
it and against, the issuance of federal
tax receipts in every territory; decrying
also national legislation which permitted
the nullification of prohibition
ana 11J luil'ioiaic I t'KUIUHUUii. '
The action of the Assembly touching
the judgments of the civil courts, as
reported in ihe secular press, looked very
much like an invitation to the Church
to put contempt, upon these tribunals
when their decisions do not- please. The
action really taken was not thus anarchistic,
but was intended, as The Interior
puts it, "to put the Church in better defensive
position against such court decisions
as those of the Tennessee supreme
court and the Indiana appellate
court. The document profesaed the denomination's
entire subservience to the

decrees of the courts as far as relates to
property rights, but declared that the
Church would always maintain its independence
of any civil court's review of
its doctrines. The assumption of such
review rights by the civil- bench was emphatically
pronounced contrary to the
principle of separation of Church and
State as guaranteed by the American constitution.
Other denominations were invited
to join in this protest against such
judicial intrusion as threatening 'alike
the independence of aU churches."
