Dr. floyd said PrI4ent Wattles of the

tee very eeurteously and bed auvted It
that. . iaasmth as the board of direeters of
the expoaltien roaId not be called together
fer some time. be weld lay the matter before -
fore the exeestive committee Immedtste4y.
lit asked the sascrably to give adIene to
I htithardeon. special commisatener of
the eiposlUon.
Mr. Richardson. oa bebaif of the expoI-
tion extended an invitation to the assembly
to pay a visit to the etposltlon buildings sad
grounds during the afternoon , promising to
furnish. street cars.
An aereptance of the invitation was at
, once moved hr Dr. Meloy by offering the tel-
.lowing resolution :
; Resolved. That the invitation so court-
! cously extended to this assembly be accepted
but that in socepting this inviUtion we do
It with the hope that the senilmeats of this
asscmbiy as already exprcssed by resolution
be complied with by the xnnagers of the
exposition , and that the gates be cThte'd on
the Sabbath day.
But acceptance of the Invitation until the
1Sunday question was settled was not to the
4 likIng of Dr. Wilson of the Ahiegheny semi-
nary. 11e Is roPssor of ecclesiastIcal his-
toI ) In that iastituUon. As may have been
already noticed. he bad been doing annaider-
1nbhe lighting on the defensive during the
Previous part of the morning session. Dr.
Wilson said he was not prepared to vote to
acccpt any such Invitation. seeing that the
board of directors had already taken action
on the question.
Won liy of Deliberate Treatment.
.I am opposed , " be said. "to at-cepting the
c'ourttay of men who desecrate the Sabbath
day. There are men here who never dark-
med the doors of the Chicago fair. and now
shall say to the people : Stay away ,
and wlthboid your nanclah and moral aid'
and then go ourselves and lend countenance to
an institutIon which refuses to recognize the
sacred character of the Lord's day ? "
Dr. Meloy thought the matter was one
worthy of calm and dignided treatment The
exposition management had received many
communications on the question similar to
that from the assembly and had given assurance -
surance that all nouid he given proper at-
tentlon in time. He asked : We have
made a request of them and now shall we
refuse to heed a request from theta in the
hpe of thIs courteous 1nvitation What
will the outside world nay If. before the
gates of tb exposition have been opened at
all ; If. before it has ever violated the Sabbath -
bath command , we refuse to accept an to-
vitation so cordially eztended' '
He expressed a hope that the exposition
management would et comply with the
wish of the assembly respecting Sunday
opening.
Dr. Wilson-What do we base our hope
upon ?
Dr. Meloy-On the word of a man of
honor , to 'shorn the people of Omaha bne
entrusted hundreds of thousands of dotta.rs
that our request would be carefutly con-
sidered.
Dr. WIlson-That Is no hope !
Dr. Meloy-It is , and the time has never
come when I shall not respect the piomise
of a man inside or outside the church.
( Loud applause. )
An attempt made by Elder J. P.
Tracey of Chicago to prevent action o Dr.
1teloys resolution by calling the order of
the day ( report on Freedmen's Mission ) .
but Dr. Ferguson. the ncwierator. informed
him that there still remained thre
minutes. Mr. Tracey took advantage .f
this and kept the door , saying :
. ,
I would like to see this thing turned
down. I have been informed by a citizen
of Omaha that the exposition has been
opened every Sunday and Its ony iesuic-
tion promised is that no intoxicating liquors
shall be sold. The management proposes
ot carry a little cheap favor
with the churc.h , people by giving
a little sacred music. There Is to be liquor
there on other days. though. and the Mid-
way. and everything that appeals to the
baser side of human nature. "
Cries of "Question ! question ! " caine from
all parts tif the assembly. also cries of
"order of the day ! " On motion by Dr. .1.
W. Witherspoon the order of the day was
extended live minutes longer. President
Lyons of Monmouth college deemed It too
serious a matter for hasty action.
DeeIIic tbe InsItntion.
Eventually a substitute declining the in-
vitatlon was offered for Dr. Meloys resolu.
tion by Rev. W. .3. Buchanan of Columbus.
0. It read as follows :
Resolved , That we appreciate the courle-
ous invitation extended. but that we respectfully -
spectfully decline. the invitation on account
of the action already taken opening the cx-
position on the Lord's day.
The substitute did not go far enough
for Dr. Wilson. He would have
added to It a statement deciin-
tog the invitation until the exposition
management concluded to close the exposl-
tion on Sundays-"until the hope expressed
by Dr. Meloy was realized. "
Eider Tracey-UnUl also they ceased sell-
lag liquors.
Mr. Traeey commented unfavorably , too ,
on his own city's ( Chicago's ) attitude cc-
spectlogSuaday observance.
Pro ! . Thompson of the Colorado Springs
presbytery here came to'tbe aid of Dr. Me-
by. lie said
"You adopted a resolution this morning
thanking the railroads for their kiodness ,
and yet they all run trains on the Sabbath
day and sell liquors in their dining cars. We
do not endorse the exposItion management
by simply attending lt. '
.A helegate in the rear todulged in some
satire. saying that "when we were riding
on the Burlington train we did not go into
the' dialog car to at-s hetber they sold
liquors or aoL" Rev. .1. P. Court-
ass of the DetroIt Presbytery
made' quite a long speech against
the Iluchanan substitute. He said to the
course of his remarks :
I " \Vc are not so discourteous as to so far.
I forget ourselves as to treat th expoaitloa
management and Mr. Rlthardson with dis-
, rcpc'ct ; nether are we so obtuse but that
w5 j0w that by our actIon here ac set our
scsi tt sj'pcovai or disapproval on thc P051-
tion tsken by the exposition directors , "
Finally , Dr. Reid. the clerk of the ssse'm-
bly. fe.t constrained to call the previous
questiota thing , lee said , be very much
disliked to do in a church
court. but the hour was getting so
late On a quer'Jon of privilege asked for

I
substitute were read agau. and the previous
question was put. The tote in favor of

I to the general assembly were fairly well at-
I tended and seemed to make a great Impres-
I . slon on the audiences. The leaders of these
meetings preached as they saw the truth
from the Calvlnlstic Point of view. namely ,
that God's will Is supreme and Be Is sorer-
olgil of the universe ; that the moral tie-
prarity of the human rsce due to
Adam's fall and the only method of saiva-
tlon Is through the sacrifice of the Son of
God upon the cross of Calvary. They raised
their voices against what they conslOereC
the crying evils of the present generation-
Intemperance. Sabbath desecration. etc. , and
called upon their hearers to bt + d the voice
of warning while yet it Is the day of grace.
