Everybody had supposed that the relationship between Union
Theological Seminary and the Presbyterian General Assembly in
the last year or two was that of courtship, with the General As
sembly as the suitor.
At least this is the impression that one might have secured by
listening to the debates and particularly the resolutions adopted
at previous assemblies, with ref

Blames Publicity for Popular Idea of Its Evils AGAINST UNION
erence to this matter.
The Assembly proposed union
—it was the aggressor—but
while the basis of union, or, at
least, of closer relationship was
accepted by Union Seminary,
the Assembly seemed in a mood
.Monday to “break the engage
ment," and it found itself Tues
day morning in the position o'f
returning the little ‘‘tokens of
endearment” which bad been
confidently placed in its hands.
Here is the resolution adopted by
the Assembly of 1911. which was the
basis of the approach to the di
vorced hut "haughty body," who yet
was believed to have tender feelings
toward the Presbyterian Assembly.
Resolution of Last Year.

cal Seminary in the city of New
York was founded by Presbyte
rians and largely endowed from
Presbyterian sources; and
Whereas, Some years past there
developed a condition which led
to the severing of the rations
W'hich had existed from the the
organization of the seminary, be
tween it and the General Assem
bly; and
Whereas. We are persuaded
that there are in the faculty and
In the directorate of Union Theo
logical Seminary men who are in
Itccord with evangelical Christl-
inity as expressed in the Stand
ards of the Presbyterian Church
In the United States of America,
ind who are zealous in all good
work for the growth of the kind-
lom of our Lord Jesus Christ In

Whereas. We believe that it
would be a signal manifestation

viour Jesus Christ, who prayed
"that they all may be one," for
Christian brethren, under the
gracious guidance of the Holy
Spirit, to remove all misunder
standings. alienations, and antag
onism, and to become vitally and
aggressively united In the doc
trine of our beloved church in
the w'ork of bringing nations and
the world to Christ; therefore,
be it
Committee Named.
Resolved. That the Assembly
hereby authorizes the moderator
to appoint a committee of nine,
to consist of five ministers, of
whom the moderator shall be one,
and four ruling elders, none of
whom shall be connected with the
directors and faculty of the. said
seminary, with a view of the re
establishment of relations be
tween the seminary and the Gen
eral Assembly on the basis of the
Standards of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States of
America; this committee to re
port at the next Assembly.
This committee, after much dis
cussion. finally submitted to Union
Seminary two proposition, which
were to serve as the basis of closer
friendship.
The first of these questions is this.
Will the board of directors make such
provision as vs ill secure to all Pr?«-
by tartan students in attendance upon
Union Theological Seminary such ad
equate instruction in the departments
* of church government, discipline, or-
K jganiz&tion and histors as w(ll qualify

j; questions on those subjects, pro-
j> pounded, according to church law and
? .usage, at their licensure and ordina
tion to the Presbyterian ministry?
The second question is this: Will
>■ the board of directors make such pro-
1 .vision as will secure to all ITesbyt*?-
rian students in attendance upon!
I Vnion Theological Seminary such ad-
? equate instruction, aa an integral part

, special system of doctrine contained

’Church, as will enable them to answer

; Presbyterian doctrine, propounded ac-
l cording to church law and usage, at
1 their llcennure and ordination to the
* -Presbyterian ministry?
But They Cut "Her" Dead.
| “Yes." said the directors and facul
ty may have been “too sudden"—not 10
the seminary, but to the committee.
[ Anyway, when it made its repott

time in the future—fl\e years, pc

'each other; and then possibly the
wedding w ill take place."

you’ve asked us to come YV> panted
to meet you. and perhaps become bet
ter acquainted with you, so that we
might work out together some of the
big problem*' in the church," Dr.
Brown said in substance.
As Usual, There Are “Rival*."
But, like in every love story, there
were "rivals." They appeared In the
presentation of the minority reports.
l)r. John R. Davies, who presented
minority report No. I, i.q a director in
Princeton Theological Seminary,
Unions most bitter enemy. Dr. F. <\
Monfort, who brought In minority re
port No. 2. is a director in Lane Theo
ioli.si] Seminary, which isn't too fond
of Union. Now. rivals don’t, as n
rule, say nice things about the girl
who is really being courted by the
great big strong fellow whom they
like, too.
tl wasn't surprising, therefore, that
such phrases as "Hindoo philosophy
Is being taught at Union Seminary"
and "unitarlanism is the belief of its
professors." and even worse charges
of downright dishonesty should be
made by the men who represented
these rival institutions. To be sure,
they were perfectly sincere -aglde
from their intimate connection with
these conservative institutions, rivals
always are sincere.
But the fact remains-- Union Sem
inary had fulfilled its contract in the
particular proposition made to It by
the committee of the Assembly and
was then turned down.
Now Union Theological Seminary
is working for an endowment of a
million and a half the exact amount
doesn't matter much, for Union prob
ably will plan for even bigger things
when it secures this sum, because this
theological university big, broad, but
thoroughly evangelical—is growing at
a tremendous.rate in influence and in
enrollment.
Row Will Aid School.
Yesterday's skirmish In the GenerP
Assembly will help to increase both
Union’s endowment trtid Its number
of students. Tt has always been so in
previous fights. Perha.ps when the
newspapers this morning printed the
story that the Assembly was In a
frame of mind to rebuke the seminary
for standing by what seemed right to
itH directors and faculty, somebody
immediately wrote out a check for n
good big sum and sent it to Dr. Fran
cis Brown, its calm, cultured, Chris
tian president.
The other men in this fight are
Christian men, too. Both Dr. Davies
and Dr. Monfort are noted for their
fine admirable Christian characters.
That’s what makes this whole con
troversy so sad and so difficult to ad
just It's a case of good men and
true differing, not merely tn personal
matters, but they all truly believe
that they are "fighting the battle of
the Lord " And when a man believes
that, he’ll die rather than betray his
trust.
However, Union Theological Sem
inary and the General Assembly will
some day be “wed." Not in Just the
way that some folks w’ish, but they’ll
fight together against the common
foe of injustice and sin, and then
they’ll find that the hearts of these
men on the other side are right,
whatever may have been their theo
logical differences and a man's good
heart is a whole lot bigger thing than
his theological convictions, no matter
how profound.
Meanwhile other suitors have been
making advances to Union Seminary.
The Methodists, Baptists and Episco
palians have made arrangements
through which students- from their
bodies will receive special Instruction
in their peculiar doctrine and polity.
This probably forever precludes the
possibility of making Union Seminary
a distinctively Presbyterian institu
tion.

Miss Gladys Hanson Snook, or
A motion to adopt the ad interim
ommittee’s report on the statement
of belief, an read by I»r. .1. M. Wells,
created a furor of discussion at
Tuesday's session of the .Southern
Assembly.
The statement Is a corrected form
of that drawn up by last year's com
mittee. After it was read, Dr. T. S.
Knox, of Texas, opened the discus
sion by declaring first that it was
wholly unnecessary.
“The adoption of this statement
wotild make void all possibilities of a
union between the three Presbyterian
bodies,' declared Dr. Knox. “The
article is not only bad Krammar hut
It is also bad theology."
Cries of shame followed Dr. Knox's
speech.
"It is outrageous,” declared Dr. Mc-
Pheeters, “that such words should be
uttered in a Presbyterian church." •
Dr A. P. Gregory, of Tennessee,
spoke, declaring that the statement
was badly needed. Dr. J. B. Works,
of Texas, contradicted Dr. Knox’s as
sertion that the change was not de
sired in the West, by stating that it
would be welcomed in that district.
Following other short addresses, the
motion was tabled until the after
noon session.
The change In the basis of repre
sentation. which has become a law by
tlie enactment of the General Assem
bly of the Southern * Presbyterian
Church, will increase materially the
representation to future Assemblies.
The change means that in future
the commissioners to the General As
sembly shall be chosen as follows;
Every Presbytery s'hall be entitled to
elect one minister and one elder as
commissioners, and all Presbyteries
where the combined membership of
ministers and communicants exceed
4,000 will be entitled to elect one min
ister and one elder additional. This
ratio will continue with the addition
of each four thousand members in the
Presbytery.
Among the first features of the As
sembly Tuesday morning was the
fraternal messenger from the General
Assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church.
The "special order" for 2:30 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon was a report cf
the committee on foreign correspond
ence.
Beneficence Discussed.
Consideration of the report of the
standing committee on systematic
beneficence was resumed. The part of
the report presented was with refer
ence to the permanent committe
systematic beneficence.
The only item of the report that
provoked discusison was that with
reference to the restoration of the
power of the permanent committee to
nominate members and secretaries of
the excutive committees of the As
sembly. This power formerly be
longed to the committee, but was
taken from it at the Assembly of 1912
The report of the standing commit
tee recommended the restoration of
this power, but with ♦ he provision
that it should not deprive any other
member of the Assembly rimUar right.
Dr. W. M, F. Alexander opposed the
restoraation of tjiis power, upon th<*
ground that it would mean too much
centralization of power; that in time
the association of this committee with
the executive committees might beget
upon the part of members of the lat
ter the disposition to’bow to the for
mer in order to receive nomination for
the committees.
Clyce to the Defense.
Dr. T. S. Clyce met this opposoition
with the statement that he had been
a member of the Permanent Commit
tee on Systematic Beneficence who
it possessed the power under consid
eration and that there was no log
rolling on the part of any one; furth
er, that it is not likely there would
be such at any time. He urged that
the Assembly have more concentra
tion of power in the transactions of
its business.
The report of the committee was
adopted and the power of the Perma
nent Committee was restored.
The time* for uniting all Presbyte
rian churches is not yet ripe. This
is the decision of the Southern Pres
byterian Church, unanimous appar
ently. If there were any who opposed,
they failed to voice their sentiment
against such an overwhelming vote
for the retention of the Southern
church’s individuality.
Report of the committee on over
tures against uniting was adopted al
most unanimously. It stated that the
time was not just ripe for the uniting
of the Southern church with other
branches of the Presbyterian. The
fact that negotiations are already un
der way between the Southern Pres
byterian Church and the United
ed. the present time appeared as
inopportune for a discussion of union.
The beneficence committee’s report
recommended that the percentage for
foreign missions be cut from 60 to 54
per cent; that home missions receive
27 instead of 21 per cent; Christian
education and ministerial relief to
receive 14 1-2 instead of 14 iter cent,
and Sunday school publications re
duced from 4 to 3 1-2 per cent.

The first report heard at the Tues
day morning session of the United
Presbyterian Assembly was that of
the woman's boafd. This report
showed a larger number of unmar
ried woman missionaries sent out the
past year than any preceding year.
The year closed without a deficit.
The report was adopted without dis
cussion.
Reports on the state of religion
and education were unanimously
adopted.
An attempt was made to bring up
the fight between the home mission
board and the board of publication
for control of Sabbath school work.
Dr. John A Henderson presented a
resolution that a special committee,
consisting of seven men not connect
ed with either hoard, be appointed
to investigate the conflicting claims,
and report the results of this investi
gation to next year's Assembly. Dr.
McGill opposed Its-appointment, say
ing it would hinder the Sabbath school
work. Other delegates supported him.
Dr. L. W. Williamson, of Topeka,
Kans.. declared it seemed that neither
board was hurt but that a certain
worker was, and asked the Assembly
to find a position for the worker re
ferred to. Dr. Russell replied that the
report yesterday merely showed the
worker's term had expired. Dr. Hen
derson then withdrew his motion.
Ministers Decrease in Number.
It was shown by the report on
theological seminaries that the num
ber of deaths in the ministerial ranks
exceeded the number of young men
entering by 11. and recommended that
a campaign be waged presenting the
claims of the gospel ministry An the
young: men in the colleges. The re
port was adopted.
It was voted to chhnge the time of
adjournment from 12 to 12:30 after
to-day.
The s* ss on on Monday afternoon
was f- c ured by a stormy debate over
n recommendation made by the com
mittee on bills and overtures to reaf-
•
hly in taking control of mission Sab-
bath, schools and Sabbath school ex
tension work from the hands of the
board of publication and putting it in
charge of the board of home mis
sions.
Dr. W. B. Smiley, secretary of the
Sabbath school work, which office
would be abollahbd if the recom
mendation were adopted, made the
charge that politics was at the bot
tom of the recommendation. Mr.
Smiley stated to a Georgian reporter
that some one outside the mission
board was responsible for the recom
mendation being made.
The eourtesies of the floor were
extended to Dr. W. J. Reed, chairman
of the Sabbath school committee.
Dr. Reed stated that Dr. Smiley wrote
him several weeks ago that a plot
was on foot to take all matters per
taining to the Sabbath school work
from the hands of the board of pub
lication. •
Reed Denies Plot.
Dr. Reed said that he had investi
gated these charges and found no
evidence of such a plot. He stated
further ehat the Sabbath school work
was one of the most important parts
of church work, and that the home
mission board desired to retain con
trol of it for another year.
A motion was next made and car
ried by a majority of about ten to
put control of the Sabbah school work
back in the hands of the board of
publication. This motion later was
killed. An amendment was then
made and unanimously carried that
the present arrangement be continued
until next year. This leaves control
In the hands of the home mission
board, and abolishes Dr. Smiley's of
fice.

country place out on Cleburne Ave

“The truth is this: The limelight
is always turned, full force, on the
stage when it is not on other profes
sions. As soon as an actress does an
imprudent or perhaps an unconven
tional thing, the news immediately
spreads—and it gathers force as It
spreads. Elsewhere there is less pub
licity, and therefore a better chance
for covering things up. that’s all."

Miss Hanson, who belongs to one

ten-months’ season with David Be-

clared, dropping a bit of lemon into a
cup of tea, "and really it’s almost
nonsense to talk about stage evils and
morals at all. The stigma that for
merly attached to the theater is al
most a thing of the past, for the sim

Is purely individual.
More Actors of Big Brains.
‘Also year by year the stage is
being more and more occupied by per

who are realities, and who are there
because of the big ‘call.’ "
"And that ‘call’ is the great thing,"
she stressed. “I don’t care what you
say. When people follow’ their star,

therefore, can only criticise from that

“Of the second minority report I
knew nothing until ten days ago. It
was signed by one man only, and he a
member of the committee for only a
few months. His report and his opin
ions had not been made a subject of
conference. They were as unexpected
as a thunderbolt.
“All of these criticisms, however,
can be met without any difficulty. The
author hay been grossly misinformed
and mistaken. In the first place, tne
annulling of the agreement of 1870
was done on the advice of two dis
tinguished lawyers. w r ho advised the
directors they had gone too far under
the provisions in the charter in mak

Resents Charges.
Dr. Brown named the men who had
been in charge of the affairs of the
seminary for years as an evidence
that it had been in the hands of
capable. God-fearing directors and
instructors.
He grew’ bitter when he came to
obrnment on the arraignment of Wil
liam Adams Brown, professor of sys
tematic theology in the seminary.
"That criticism was most unjust
and unwarranted," declared President
Brown. "Professor Brown is one of
the most ardent, earnest and sin
cere Presbyterians in this Assembly.
So to attack his religious principles
was cruel and not supported by any
evidence. Terms were used that
never should be used by one Chris
tian in reference to another Christian
or to any human being.
"That reference, too, to Hindu
philosophy w r as a simple travesty—
a simple travesty! 1 find it more dif
ficult to be calm at this time. I don’t
want to lose my temper, but such
unjust and unsupported charges have
been hurled at this seminary that re
straint is not wholly possible.
"Asks Nothing.”
"Remember that the seminary asks
nothing, seeks nothing. It is not rep
resented here voluntarily. It came
on invitation. We want to be of ser
vice to the Presbyterian Church, but
if you can not use us, we do not
care to try.
"The members of the faculty have
given evidences of their Christian
faith that should be accepted if the
matter is considered at all. * I hold,
however, that discussion on the sec
ond minority report should have no
place on this floor, as the report was
never made a subject of conference.
“In regard to the students going
forth from our seminary, I want to
deny the scurrilous stories which
have gone forth about the country.
There is not a single man from the
seminary w ho has been licensed by a
presbytery who has denied his belief
in the atoning work of Jesus, the res
urrection of the Lord and the other
fundamental doctrines concerning
which we have been accused of lack
of faith.”
Dr. Brown Loses Poise.
Dr. Brown spoke quietly and with
out any evidence of rancor until he
came to discuss the charges of Chris
tian infidelity lodged against his sem
inary and its faculty. Then his voice
rose and he lost the poise that had
characterized his calm discussion of
the legal phase of the seminary’s ac
tion in abrogating the agreement of
1870.
The friends of the seminary ap
plauded lightly when Dr. Brown was
finished, despite the injunction of the
moderator that there was to be no
manifestation whatever of approval
or disapproval.
