Tug cornoL Or TAcanre.By the terms of the compact of 1870 and the

plan of reunion the supervision and control ex-ercised by the gemeralaemembly over the varioustheological memin--lem, it is amed, is lim-uted to the exereise of the right of ap-proval or veto of the appointment of pro-feesore. In addition to this, each seminary re-port. annually to the general esembly its re-ceipte, disbursements, the number of studentsand the number of graduates, with such specialinformation as the various boards in charge ofthese institution may se it to communicate.The foregoing, however, is not all of the con-

trol pose-smed by the general assembly over theteaching of the theological seminaries. It hasgreater power which it may exereise, Ifoccasion arises. unlem by the term ofreunion andl the compact of 1670 It hassurrendered the same. According to thepian of governamset of Prineeto., Western, Ms-Cormick, Danville and Omaha, the general as-sembly has the right to control the election ofthe boastl of Directors. to whom are intrustedthe appointement of profemore and the manage-ment of the seminary generally. save and exceptthe holding of the title to property, ib manage-ament, sale. diepition and investment.Under the t division of this report, to

wit, the present legal sstes of the seminaries,the different method of control and the extentof the jurisdiction of these boards have bo metforth. The general assembly has the power tochange the plan of management of some of theaforesaid seminaries to the extent herein in-dicated. but control is now limited, by thecompact of 1870. to the veto of the election ofdirectors in certain seminaries and to the vetoo t otment of professors in all of the

To veto the eletion of directorsor professors without legal power to enforcethe veto by the removal of the person vetoedand then leave to the body whose electiorns arethus vetoed the exclusive right to nominate,elect or a point is in all cases of difference toplace the body possessing the right of veto ab-solutely in the power of the body whose actsare vetoed.Under the original plan of the meeminaries,known as the old-sehool seminaries, the general

assembly had the power to remove the profe-sore, as well as to approve or veto their appoint.nmon. In order to secure uniformity ofteaching, in so fhr as it is practicable, thegeneral assembly could, under the power thuspoas-ed over the seminaries named, unlessthe power has been surrendered by the com-pact of 1870, Issue such instructions as mightsecure msch uniformity of teaching. But thegeneral assembly has, by the terms of thecharter. of the civil corporations.no direct sen-trol over the property of the seminaaries, exoeptover much property as It has given them.The power rooted In the general assembly by

Row This Important Braseh of ChurchWork Originated. ti

How did the idea of a woman's executive Cemmittee of home missions of the Presby. t

terinaChurch originate? Is the organization a nsuccess or failure? Home mission work maybe traced to the early part of this century. It athen simply ameant that the strong churches agave financial aid or lnstruetion to the weak fichurehes confined within the compass of theapresaytery. Toward the middle of the een-tury greater intereets were at staki, moreserious questions arose-the Indians of the Snorth and west mist be Christianied. There nwas an lnundation of different nationalitiee,dwith thetr varied belief., many, alas, pagan.The tide rolled In with appligpower. Was dAsseries to become heate? ht was to be tadome? The churches, through the board of tihome mssion., organised churches, supplying tithem with ministers, and for thirty years seblessed reeults were accomplished among the IMormsons, Mexicns and Indiana. As the work aprogreesed new necessities sprung up. Other c:inastrumeentalities should be commanded. A gdifferent lever must be used-schoole and siteashers. The day was at hand! The miu- a:lions of children must be educated; the chil-dren's mothers needed direction. The board fiwas not om wrd nor did it have money for lIany work byond its spectii one of commis-sioninag and supporting ordained minister. as hmissionaries,.The queetion was a grave one, and was sub- *

mitted to the general assembly. This body ticonsidered the matter judicIously, and an ap- bSwas made to the Christian womsen of the abyterian Church. They answered this o

appeal In 1878 by organizing the woman'sexecutive committee of home missions. Theydo not, andi never have, assumed any work onlyas directed by the board of home mission., andtheir disbureements are made through thathoard. Their annual meeting is hold at thetimse of the general assemtbly, and their report f'submnitted to that body. h

fled with the first steps of this organization,and served ably as Its secretary until her death. gMrs. Ashabel Green, the first president, was a cwoman of rare culture, and gave her time and hmoney without reserve. Many of her~'ise tisuggestions are perpetuated In the methods of bwork now used. Mrs. Darwmn R. James of oBrooklyn, the present president, is a woman awhos consecration, zeal and judgment abun- t)dantly fit her to hold and guide the varied inter-esto committed to her charge, gAssociated with her are vice presidents fromnearly every synod within the bounds of thegeneral assembly. They are representativewomen, whose duty it is to stimulate Interest Cin home missions in their reepective synod... t)All contributions from presbyterial treasurers iiare forwarded to the treasury of the woman's tiexecutive committee In New York, and are de- avoted to the evangelizing of our land-for the jisalariee of mission teachers, for the expenses of ithe mission day and boarding schools, for the ferection of suitable buildings and maintaining iindustrial schoole among the Mexicans, Mor- amons, Indians and mountain whites of the bsouth.

Is it a success? The first year the total re- oelpts were @5,000. The report amade today oshows the advance of this remarkable organi- dsation. The amount of money ramsed this yearwas *388,000; number of schools. 123: numberof teachers, 320; number of puale, 7,688. Thepatyear new buildings have bee erected In a

akta, North Carolina, Nebraska, Alaska. tiNew Mexico and the Indian territory. The ,plans developed by the woman's executive com-,imittee of home missions of the PresbyterianChurch wield an ianluence extending from the!,Atlantic to the Pacific and from the great lakee 5to theGulf of Mexico.

Much of the missionary work of the Presby-rian Church has been accomplished by theomen, who, devoted to the cause in whichey are interested, are willing to give theirarts and time for the improvement and edo-tion of those who are so unfortunateto be without. the divine teachings of therest Master, and, who, through ignorance orik of facilities are compelled, without thisissionary work, to go through life without themowledge of the forgiving and lovable char-ter of the Lord. The good work which theseomen accomplish is not to be measured andch year their benefits increase.This morning in the Church of the Covenante annual meeting of the woman's executivemmittee of the home missions of themebyterian Church assembled.

"The report," she began,is a brief story of the work of 1,000 Presby.ran women, accomplished during a year withumble thanks to the Lord of life. The receiptsere swelled by the increased and more intelli-mut effort of the missions to over $900 greater

TNT SCHOOL REPORT.Mrs. A. C. Miller, the school secretary, readis school report. It showed a wonderfulbristian work, as teaching and instructingie children for whom the govern-ent makes no provision for their educa-on. At Silks, Alaska, the school hadsen most successful. The teachingm wereainly in the form of manual labor. 'I hrongI this the Christian element spreads Its in-ien':e and many of the young people havecepted the Christian faith. In Utahl the in-aence of the Christian teachers must be felti the future history of that territory.But few changes in the personnel of theechers were made during the year. S.omeoney was needed for Improvements, which ithoped can be made at many of the schoolsmmri the coming year.In New Mexico the conditions are most un-isirable. The school buildings are unsani-ry and in bed condition, and in many casese teecher is the only American woman In thees town. In California and Mexicomne excellent advance, have been made.the last country experienced women are

meded to spread the seeds of Christianity andvihsmation should be sown and reaped. A'sat work is being accomplished, but fisnot

At the conclusion of the reading of the re-art two verses of the hymn, "Our Country

oice is Pleading," were sung.

woaE oF TEE FREEDMNx's DEPARTMENIT.Mrs. C. E. Coulter read the report of the'medman's department. In this branch there

ad been a deficit, but work of the greatestmueft. A number of new schools had been

ened, and in each of them the outlook wasoat promising.The report of the treasurer was read by MissF. Lincoln. It showed a most encouragingmdition of affairs. "The year," she said, "had

men a most successful one. All the obliga-

ons of the organization have been met,

at it is suggested that hereafter the treasurersthe branches make a quarterly report at

hich some idea of the probable amount that

schools, spoke on the work among the IndianaHe had been much surprised when he receivethe *all to the office he held, but when he teived he accepted it, because he considered Ias coming from God and the women, the twgreat pwers in this land.He believed that the best books were the onl

ones which should be employed in educationThe Bible was the greatest book, anthis was the foundation of the instruction of theIndians when they came to their breakfasthe boys and girls stood reverently behinutheir chairs while they recited the Lord'Prayer. After the meal services were held in thchapel and again at the close of the schoostudies another fifteen minutes was devoted tthe study of the Bible. It was wonderful hoireadily and willingly they learned their religions studies.

Probably the amost aficant aeeon et thegeneral assembly today was the appointment ofthe committees This feature of the sessine

,is always looked forward to with the great-I et attention and lntert. for the eam-I plexion of these committees may well be

looked upon as giving an idea of the attitudethe assembly is to take on all matters thatacome before it. This year, as a reult of the

r important questions that come before the bedy" for consideration or settlement, the Briggscase, the seminary question, theproblem of revision and others only les am-

portent, the appointment of the esmittees wasa matter of even greater Interest than to mostyears.When the time came for the anuounesem

this morning there was hardly a commiseonorabsent from his place in the ehurch, and every

I man listened with the closest attention whilethe lists were being read of. so that hemight know on which one he was expeetedto serve. Dr. Roberts, the stated clerk, who

r read the lists for the moderator, said that threrwas no need of the listeners paying suck veryclose attention, insmuch as the comet andrevised lists would be prinsed in Ths Sta.

. TIa JUDICIAar OOarIrIrS,I Perhaps the most interest clustered about ther names of the members of the judiciary commit-

tee, for this is the committee that will passupon the appeal in the case of Dr. Briggsand will report to the assembly uponthe question of the propriety of that body[ entertaining the appeaL Rev. Dr. George D.Baker was the man selected to act as the chair-man, and as soon as his mine was celled outthere was an instant bussing of tongues and a

putting of heads together to discuss the mean-ingoftha appointment.

Dr. Baker is the pastor of the irst Preby-terien Church of Philadelphia, and islooked, upon as one of the leading mnisters, in the city of brotherly love. He

was prominently mentioned for theposition of moderator of this amem-

Sbly, and was the only one of thecandidates who made a running against Dr.Craig, the successful candidate in yesterday'selection. Dr. Baker is not a large man, but hisintellect is large enough to make up the dif-ference and hiss manner is one of utmost oor-diality and courtesy. He is an easy, gracefulspeaker.What is more to the point, however, is the

fact that he is classed among the conservatives,,and as such his appotatment gave the greatestsatisfaction to that faction of the assembly. byall odds the largest. The committee is for themost part made up of men who are known tobe conservative, that is, to be more defuite,anti-Briggs men.

A TALK WITE CEAI3NAN ma=s.A few moments after the announcement of

e the committees was made Dr. Baker was mat bya STan reporter in the lecture room of thechurch. and in the course of the conversationthat followed he was asked what he thought ofthe committee of which he was the head.

r "I really do not know," he said. "I simplyheard the lst read of as you did, but I shouldthink from the reading that it was a ooerva-tive committee by a large majority."

a "Do you mean that it is anti-Briggs?""I mean conservative. You can interpret the

word as suits you in this articular cawe. I amusually ranked among the conservatives my-self.""In the general acceptance of the phrase the

committee would be regarded as anti-Briggs,would it not?"

"Possibly."Dr. Baker did not dare to discuss the merits

of the Briggs case, nor the possible action thecommittee might take in the premises. He didsay, however, that he thought it was highly

n probable that the committee would be able toreport to the assembly by next Tuesday.

r no0. so33 1. DUWIs3.There is one aman in the assembly as a dele-

gate from the presbytery of New Brunswickwho is probably known to a larger num-ber of the delegates personally thanalmost any other dewte present. ThisIs Prof. J. T. Deld, whose faceis a familiar one In Presbyterian gatherings.and whoae name is as familiar in the realms ofPresbyterian literature. He is professor ofmathematics in the acedemic course at Prince-

Iton College, and as such has had amany of theother delegates under him as pupile in the dayswhen they were studying for the ministrybefore they entered' the seminary.

Dr. Dufild is the oldest member of thePrinceton faculty, and there is a tradition aboutB the college that for years he has been handing

In his resignation at every ameeting ,,fthe board of trustees and that the-board of trustees as regularly declines toaccept It. He is usually known to the etudenteas "Duff," but no man in any class ever sidamean word of him or left his course none thebetter for his kfadly Christian inlaence.

Um noaan. evana.Another mam whose face is very familiar

about the assembly, although he is notea com-mIssaoner, is Mr. Robert E. Speer, the assist-ant secretary of the board of foreignmissions in New York. Mr. Spear is .else aPrinceton men, but a long way furtheralong than Prof. Dumeld, as he graduated lessthan four years ago. He graduated with theclass of '89, at the top of the class,and while be wee considered on of theablest men and brightest scholirs that hadever gone through the Jersey college he yetfound time to play focot ball, and was on the'varsity foot ball team. During his eegecourse, as well as since, he waeeesy interestedin the subject of foreign mission, and hasalways been In the forefront of the studente'volunteer moveament. He has delivered a largef number of eloquent addressee throughout thecountry, and has had wonderful successa in hiswork.Mr. 8pe is here with Dr. GNllespie torep-resent teboard of foreign missions, and on
