GENERAL ASSSEMI1LY.
Book of Forms and Terms of Union
With the Cumberland Church Af
forded Material for Argument by
Uki Brightest Men In the Presby
tcrion Church Auditorium Holding
3IMI0 People Was Filled and Over
flow Meetings Held.
That the recent general assembly
of the Presbyterian church held in
Des Moines, Iowa, was the most In
teresting and historical session ever
held, Is declared by delegates return
ing from the meeting.
This morning A. Hunter of Ken
drick, Idaho, a brother , of Lewis
Hunter, the well known furniture
dealer of this city, passed through the
city from Des Moines to his home, and
spoke entertainingly of the assembly.
He says that the large auditorium of
Des Moines, with a capacity of about
3000 people, wos filled to overflowing
at every session, and on special occa
sions overflow meeting would be held
In other places In the city.
The greatest contest of the assem
bly was over church union with the
Cumberland branch. There were able
men on both sides of the question and
some of the most thrilling oratory
ever heard In Des Moines was heard
In the arguments for and against a
union of the two branches of the
church.
The agreement of union finally
agreed upon Is generally satisfactory
and the churches as a body are well
pleased that the dividing lines have
been swept away. The greatest tech
nical point In the argument against
union arose over the disposition of
church property. This was amicably
settled, as decisions from able Judges
assured the assembly that union could
be legally effected by a vote of the
majority of the membership of the
churches.
The book of forms caused a warm
debate, also, and n.any able men were
heard on both aides of this question.
Mr. Hunter Is delighted with his ex
perience at the assembly. He heard
the ablest men In the church discuss
lng the greatest questions ot church
government and creed and feels that
hi trip haa been of Immeasurable
benefit
