hail iteeni known there was a strong feeling
in regard to timi building , but It was mint
anticipated It would take this shape. The

time oppoattiomi of time missloaary board it will
Inrobably go over untIl Timnmrsday. The paper

i'tmona. : Johmim S. iCeimnedy of New York City

imienided "timnit. no action be taken , as the
Imrcsent freedom is more edifying tinan any

Before tnmking UI ) time regular work the

was the desire of time churcfl that those c1tto
ho let alone. lIe insisted that nothing vas
necessary to insure the denomlnntionmal Icy-
alty of the Societies of Cimrlstlon Endeavor ,
whereas the present plan of the committee
meant Presbyterianismn with the "ism"
siieilcid In big letters. The motion wai ruled
out of order on a point made by Dr. Breed ,
time chaiminamm of the committee , timat time
