He iwould uproot it at once or forever ^disclaim any connection with it. ( "It is time to put a stop to these l heretical doctrines," he said. "The $New York Presbytery, in which the l school is situated, is the religious $ gateway to the nation so far as our denomination is concerned. The pro- Imulgation of such beliefs lowers the £tone of the Presbyterian religion f throughout the country." Dr. Monfort said that he was at- | tacking the religious attitude of Union | Seminary from three directions—the : moral, the doctrinal and the legal. At the very foundation of the school, he declared, the directors and faculty were pledged to the Westmin ster Confession of Faith and the Pres- n form «>f government.

"Whenever the directors of the sem- t inary allow the faculty to teach con trary to the Westminster Confession 1 of Faith,” continued Dr. Monfort. t "they are going outside the provisions ?. of the charter under which they are t incorporated. "Every man who gave a dollar t o 5 the school has a right to spo that the ‘ students are taught according to the | sacred doctrines of the church. "I believe the time has come when f the Assembly should reinstate the jj constitution and put back those ar- [ tides which affirm the doctrines of ? the < hurch I believ e the agreement I of 1870. which has been rescinded J by the Seminary, should be re- ■; affirmed. We should not forget the r dead donors whose sacrifice made the ? institution possible." * , Dr. Davies Introduced the first rnl- , nority report by tlie emphatic state- ment that a resumption of relations s between the church and the school I was impossible at the present time, j He said there were three reasons: The directors and the faculty do not * desire such a reunion. They say it that the independence and additional ' power they have under the present * arrangement are more to be desired ^ than eh.se affiliation with the church. Represent Different Bodies. The faculty represents different Protestant communions-—the Metho dist. Baptist, Congregational, etc., as : well as the Presbyterian. On the part of some of the faculty, i the divergence* from the standard y orthodoxy of the church is* too marked ( to warrant the church standing spon sor for the teachings. "You may talk about evangelism 6 from now until doomsday," said Dr \ Davies, "but if your evangel is with f out the spirit and grace of God and j has no sound religious faith, of what f value is the evangelism?

Wylie, pastor of Scotch Church, New York. He said that the pro fessors in the college were not the unbelieving persons that their de tractors pictured them, but declared thHt they were sincere* and earnest and tilled with the spirit of God. He recommended that the committee he continued to complete the re-estab lishing of friendly relations with the seminary. Dr. Francis Brown, president of the seminary, was accorded fifteen mi nutes at the dose of the Monday ses sion to present the side of the sem inary. He said that he was there under invitation and not as a person held to an accounting. He added that the seminary was not responsi ble to the church morally, doctrjnally or legally, In spite of the opinion of Dr. Monfort to the contrary. , "Union Seminary is a religious in stitution founded and maintained for the purpose of training young men in the Gospel of Jesus Chrst,” said Dr. i 0 , u ., , TTT , Brown.

Urges Regular Allowance. "W e can barely get along on what we are receiving now,” said he. "A reduction in the allowance means that we will face a yearly deficit of $60,- OftO, for it will be impossible to keep from going into debt." Dr. Morris charged Dr. Smith with having conferred in a secret manner with the members of the permanent committee in the effort to have the committee recommend the continu ance of the 60 per cent allowance. This was strenuously d6nied by Dr. Smith, and It was necessary for Mod erator Lyons to rap for order several times. Mission Board Given Revolutionary Outbreak Feared at Induction of Menocal to Suc ceed President Gomez. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. HAVANA, May 20. —Rigid military precautions were taken here to-day to prevent any revolutionary outbreaks upon the occasion of the inauguration of Juan Mario Menocal, who succeeds Senor Gomez as President of Cuba. All principal streets were patrolled ( by troops and batteries of machine | guns were placed at strategetic points. As General Menocal way formerly j commander-in-chief of the Cuban army sentiment exists for him !n mil itary • ircles and there is no fear of a mutinous disturbance. General Menocal is a conservative. His election caused grave fears on ac count of the bitterness manifested by the Liberals. An attempt was made to have the election declared uncon stitutional, but it failed. The ceremonies to-day took on un usual interest because of the part pl&yed by the United States.

On the contrary, we are concerned with the life of God in the souls of men. "Union Seminary does not ask any thing. It is here in response to an in vitation. But I venture to say that a stranger coming in from the outside would not form the right impression li would appear that we have been called before the bar to explain and excuse and make apologies. Such is not the case. Union Seminary has not been summoned. 1 came here on a courteous invitation merely that th^ misunderstandings might be straight ened out. if possible. "Two questions were propounded to the directors of Union Seminary at their meeting with your commit tee Both ware as to whether we were willing to add to our instruction in the Presbyterian discipline, church government and doctrines. We an swered both questions in the affirma tive. Was there anv more for us l * do" If your committee went wrong or bungled its duty. I maintain that the seminary should not be made to suffer.” Southern Church Almost Unanimous Against Union. 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. Ft 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 arc already un der way between ttye Southern Pres byterian Church and the United cd. the present time appeared as inopportune for a discussion of union. Decision Made in Hurry. In view of the great interest which has been shown in the matter of unit ing of the three great branches of the Presbyterian Church, the Southern Assembly disposed of the matter in unusually short order. The reading of the report, however, and taking of the vote received the most intense in tention whiefi has been paid to any matter coming before the Southern-. ers. , There was one plea for union, made by the Rev. Sartell Prentiss, of New York. His talk lasted for several minutes and was dramatic in its in tensity. "The forces of evil are encroaching upon the grounds of the good. Hosts of the devil are combining into one huge mass with which to force the ac ceptance of their wickedness. Strong Plea for Union. "To combat them the people of God must unite. The Presbyterians in their divisions represent different units, each waging a separate fight and without unity of purpose. As one church we would present a stronger battle line, our strength as workers for the Advancement of Christian faith would he materially strength ened.” 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 per cent and Sunday school publications re duced from 4 to 3 1-2 per cent. Dr. \Y. A. Smith, of the foreign mis sion board, and Dt S. L. Morris, sec retary nf the home mission board, had several little sharp tilts over the report. Dr. Smith urged that the old The session of the United Presby terian Assembly Monday afternoon was featured by a stormy debate over a recommendation made by the com mittee on bills and overtures to reaf firm the action of last year’s Assem bly in taking control of mission fifab- bath schools and Sabbath school ex tension work from the hands of the hoard of publication and putting it in charge of the board of home mis sions. Dr. \V. B. Smiley, secretary of the Sabbath school work, which office would he abolished if the recom mendation were .adopted, made the charge that politics was at the hot- lorn of the recommendation. Mr. Smiley stated to a Georgian reporter ihat some one outside the mission board was responsible for the recom mendation being made. The courtesies of the floor were extended to Dr. XV. J. Reed, chairman of the Sabbat !i school committee. Head of Brenau Done Injustice by Report An Atlanta friend of Dr. T. J. Sim mons, president of Brenau College, Gainesville. Ga., has pointed out ar. error published on Saturday. May 17. relative to a news item sent from Rome, Ga. Max Meyerhardt, city attorney of Rome, by letter informed Dr. Sim mons that the old Conservatory of Music. formerly connected with Shorter College and owned by Dr. Simmons, had been declared unsafe and insanitary, and suggested that it either be repaired or removed. Dr. Simmons had three days before re ceipt of thie letter given instructions to demolish the building. The report ns to the summons of Dr. Simmons before the City Council or in Police Court was incorrect. Dr. Simmons is one of the leading educators in Georgia and the South, and is a man of whom both Rome and Gainesville have cause to be proud for the work he has done in the in terest of higher education.

Co-operation in negro mission work has been recommended by the execu tive council of the Reformed Churches in America, and the concensus of opinion among the Presbyterian del egates in Atlanta is that it will be adopted. Presbyterian missions among ne groes have heretofore overlapped one another. The recommendation for co operation followed a fervent address hy Dr. J. S. Lyons, of Louisville, mod erator of the Southern Presbyterian Assembly, when the executive com mittee of the general council, acting upon his suggestion, called a hurried conference ad adopted specific rec ommendations. Plea to General Synod. The recommendations of the exec utive committee were addressed to the general assemblies of the Presby terian churches now in session in Atlanta, to the general synod of the Reformed Church in America, to meet at Ocean Grove. N. J.. in June, and to the general synod of the Reformed Church in the United States, to meet at Lancaster, Pa., in May. 1914. In communities where two or more churches of the general council art represented by negro missions, the sessions of the respective churches are urged to work together. Presby terians, individually, are requested to see that this recommendation re ceived as due consideration. Plan to Train Teachers. Means of carrying out the naw plan are also recommended. The Knoxville College, of Knoxville. Tenn.. is re quested to consider the propriety of establishing r training department for equipping workers in the colored field. The committee, which unanimous ly favored the report, was composed of J. G. Snedecor. Chairman. Tusca loosa. Ala.; \Y. J. Darby, secretary. Evansville. Ind.; Charles E. Schaeffer, Philadelphia; E. P. Cowan. Pittsburg, ad R. W. McGranahan, of Knoxville College, Knoxville. Tenn. The Sunday American goes every where all over the South. If you have anything to sell The Sunday Amer ican it “The Market Place of the South.” The Sunday American is the bast advertising medium, Swift’s Premium Sliced Bacon “Good Food” Governor Joseph M. Brown's proc lamation, offering a reward for the apprehension of the Cobb County dy namiters, has attracted a great deal of attention and brought forth many expressions of approval throughout the State. . The Governor’s uncompromisingly hostile attitude toward all forms of lawlessness has been so persistently demonstrated that there are few if any criminals left in Georgia who do not know that he means to enforce the law sternly against them if they violate the same. Not only has he set every agency of the State at work seeking to es tablish the identity of flic Cobb Coun ty dynamiters, hut he also has of fered substantial rewards for the ap prehension of certain lynchers re cently operating in Columbia and Heard Counties. As he draws near the end of his term in the executive office. Gov ernor Brown, instead of weakening in any of his positions against law lessness, seems all the more inclined to eiUphasize his personal and official detestation of it. The Governor holds that there are very many more law-abiding people in Georgia than there are lawbreak ers. and that law-observers are en titled to full and complete protection against the criminal classes.
