(Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.)FORT WOÏITH, TEX., May 20,-Tho
Northern Assembly, now In session at
Wlnonn, Indinna, was to-day wired ercol¬ine« In those words: "The General As¬sembly of the Presbyterian Church In thoUnited States salute you In the name ofthe Lord Jesus; grace, .mercy and poacobe with you; I. Thessalonlans, 6-23."To the Cumberland Assembly, at Fres¬
no, Cal., It was wired: "In the name of
tho Lord Jesus, we greet you. May Ills
spirit bo with you. Phlllpplans, ?-19."Moderritor Plunkett to-day appointed a
oommltteo, composed of one member fromeach synod of the assembly, to conferoh matters pertaining to closer rela¬tions with other Presbyterian churches.This commltteo was instructod to reportduring the present meeting. Thero wasconsiderable discussion over tho ques¬tion of church catechism, but this was
settled by discharging tho commltteoand referring the question to the Commit¬tee on Publication. This report wai
brought up In 1900, and has never beendisposed of.Yesterday's report of the Federation
Commltteo was Informally discussed be¬fore to-day's meeting was called to or¬
der. Dr. Charles H- Rolston, commis¬sioner from Mount Clinton, Vn., favorscloser federation of tho two branches,especially along the border between thoNorth and South, where tlie Interests ofboth churches are closely Identified. Heexpressed tho belief that this affiliationshould obtain, but the- opinion of otherlending delegates to the nssembly is thatthe federation should be brought aboutby local presbyteries.
Work of the Day.Devotional services hy Rev. T. 8.
Clyce, of Shermnn. opened tho morningsession. Then business matters weretnken up and the report of the board ofdirectors of the Theological Semlnnry ofKentucky was received. Thc general fundof the Institution, It was announced,amounts to 16115.000, with a scholarshipfund of 1-5,000 and îl.ffXI cash on hand.The report of the committee which wns
appointed at the last General Assembla¬to recommend actions on the rellof ofvacnnt churches nnd ministers withoutcharges was submitted. This report sug¬gests tho establishment ot a bureau ofInformation, which shall publish monthly? list nf pnstors without charges and- thevacant churches.The sixteenth annual report of the
Committee on Ministerial nnd ChrlstlnnEducation was read, Reports from theCommittee on Rvno«l!cnl Records of theChurch in Virginia nnd North Carolinawere accepted without comment, but a
slight, change was made In the reportfrom Arkansas. Tile committee appoint¬ed tn look Into the matter of the pro¬posed university, which is to be locatedat Atlanta', Ga., will bo heard Thursdaymorning.The most Important question acted on
to-day was the selection of the next meet¬ing place. S'x churches were nominated.The successful candidate for the honorwas the First Presbyterian Church ofGreenville. S. C.A catechism on the church, its policy,
Its sacraments, etc. wae to-day sub¬mitted to the a'sembly by tho able com¬mittee that has had It In charge forseveral years. Although there wero
many others composing the committee,It was recognized that the catechism was
for the most part the creation of Rev.R. P. Kerr. D. D., now of Baltimore.The committee was «relieved from fur¬ther duty In the matter, hut the cate--hlsm was no't adopted by the nssem¬
bly. It was referred to the committeeon publication, to be printed or not, attheir discretion.An earnest debate took place over the
proposal to change the time for the spe¬cial collection for publication from M«rchto July, and assign March to thc causeof ministerial relief. As July is a badmonth for raising money, it was earnest¬ly opposed. In view of the excellentwork dono by the publication commit¬tee at Richmond, to make this changewould seem to be putting a penalty onsuccess. The motion to change waslost, and publication will still hold March,the month it ha« had for thirtj-flvoyears.This afternoon tbe members of the as¬
sembly were treated to a pleasant out¬ing _ln a drive out to tho Country Club,flvo miles from the city, where an ele¬gant reception was tendered them bythe ladles of the Presbyterian Churches.
