LswUburg. W. V.. May U. De
spite th protest that tb action might
binder union with some other church
th Southern Prabytrtan church la
Oeneral Aaeembly her thl tfternooa
adopted an optional form of convey,
anc whereby tutur donor may b
aaurd that their girt will remain
forever In that organisation.
Tb fight over th proposal waa th
most earnest of any contest ef tb as
sembly. Judge Frank B., Mutton, ef
Abingdon. Va.. led th tore In fa
vor of th adoption ef th form, hav
ing presented a majority report of a
special commit! t.. . .
Rev. C. R. NetbeL of NuhviU,
T.nn.. ubmlttd ' a minority report
signed by htmarlf and wa th 'eeder
ef what preVcd to be th majority on
tba fiuur . Dr W- L. Ungls, of AU
laala, U., playtd th rot of an un
successful compromls. H wanted
th aatembly to adopt no form.
Th contest on the floor waa lnu-
th form ot deed, providing that th
property given to any court or Insti
tution In th church could not b di
verted to any institution beyond th
control ot th church.
Th discussion became Interesting
when Dr. Nesbet declared that th
action proposed . by Judge Huttnn
would provoke an untimely discussion
ot Organle Union. He aaked that tb
church be- left to "follow wher th
Holy Uplrit led." '' ' i- .
"My conscience tell m. Mid he,
If 1 let thl gt without protest I
will b lnnr."' v
Pulling up coatsleere In court..
room fashion, Judge Hutton Mt to
Work to defend hi report.
"Who's leading the o r Pd rit." h
demanded of th minister with an ex
planation that he waa not facetious!
Doe any on know wher th spirit
i going to lead us. How do we know
that will Interfere with th leading of
the .plrtt."
Judge Hutton said that this would
not permit organic union. He ex-
kdalned that It merely provided
form whereby person could give
property to th church and know that
It would never be diverted to any In.
tltution outside, of trai Presbyterian
church.
"Your aMsmhly aaked our commit,
tee to draw auch a form and we did It.
And yet you accuse u of stirring up
a debate on organic union and of be
ing sinners."
Dr. Nesbet got the floor long
enough to My that the report wa
dangerous because It provided for the
aasembly giving It Influence to thll
kind of donation.
"I bop that never again will I
ever be appointed on a committee
with three lawyer," said he,
Th debate became general. In their
rnestneea, frocked gentlemen be
came oblivious to their surrounding.
Th Rev. Dr., M. 1 Icy, th very
personification of dignity and rever
ence, eo far forgot himself he
patted out a point In th palm or hi
hand a to eay. "I'll bet you"
Laughter for the first time during
the assembly put to rout th Pres
byterian dignity of th kugust body.
The gray haired old man changed hi
statement, "I vntur ."
Finally Judge Hutton' report was
adopted by a vot of 10 te 71.
During th dsy th Rev. J. D. Les
lie, of Texas, waa elected permanent
clerk over Dr. John R. tlerndon, of
Tennessee; Dr. A. M. Eraser, of Vlr
ginla, and E. M. Craig, of Alabama.
Th committee on marrlag and
divorce submitted report. No ac
tion wa taken upon them.
Whether a church may take fa
vorable action on prohibition in a reg
ular election, must be acted upon by
th assembly. I'pon recommendation
of the judicial committee the aasera
bly today r-rganlxed a commission of
57 to hear th complaint of th Rev.
W I. "innott against th Northern
Alabama Presbytery. That Presuy.
tery I charged with having tnkwn ac
tion under such rirctiminces.
