Reports on These Subjects Discussed at Length at the General Assembly Which Deprecates Cruelty to Jews Sreeial Dispatch to the Chronicle LOS ANGELES May 26 The subject of home missions and aid for colleges occupied the two sessions of the PresbyterUc General Assembly to day Both reports were productive of Ions and at times Interesting debate The notable speech of the day was made by Rev Charles Thompson of New York who followed the reading of the report of the Board of Home Missions Dr Thompson Is an orator of polish force and learning and his speech this morning aroused the assembly as nothing else had done His denunciation of Mormon ism was especially strong and every sentence was greeted with applause from the assembly and the galleries The entire afternoon was taken up with the discussion of the report of the special committee on aid or colleges It says In part The hold of the church on working men the Urge and Important element of the population Is not what it should be The past year has atgnally Illustrated the power oi tne worKingmen at any moment seriously to afTect economic conditions It li believed than only the gospel of Christ can solve the grave problem which Is thus presented to the country It is of the utmost consequence that the church should be aroused to the necessity of dolnr more than she has ever done to strengthen her fioia upon the working classes The large reduction on the debt of the Presbyterian building calls for grateful recognition The little that remains wtlL It is believed soon disappear snd that forest building become a perennial and arge source of Income for horn and foreign missions The literature department records with gratitude the most auccessf ul year of work in Its history The womans board reports 35 missions and schools and 492 missiona ries and teachers and 1063S dudIIs 13S Sab bath schools with 10178 scholars and 105 Young Peoples societies with a membership of 2208 Iho spirit of fraternity is abroad in the home mission work and the federation of churches for united endeavors Is a cause which is gaining In therWeet as in other parts of the country After the reading of the report of he Hoard of Home Missions by Chairnvtn Iiev Dr Halloway which If adopted and put into force by Individual churches he predicted would mark the year 1904 as a banner year for the church In America Dr Van Dyke from the committee on bills and overtures made a suDDlemental report A resolution which came up in the assembly yesterday and which was referred to the bills and overtures committee was the first one turned down The resolution recommended that the moderator appoint a committee of fif teen to act as a board of arbitration in disputes between capital and labor The committee reported that it found it Inexpedient to act on such questions An overture from the Kansas City Presbytery on the subject of tempt ance was also turned down the commit tee recommending that no action be taken as the overture was based on newspaper report The Womans Christian Temperance Union sent In a resolution through one of the commlisioners which caused a broad smile among the churchmen and considerable amusement to the galleries It read Resolved That we condemn the inconsistencies of Christian people and Christian ministers in stopping at hotels where liquor is sold and the employment from such hotels of caterers to serve In the case of social functions and banquets This resolution waa promptly referred to the committee on temperance and will probably come up again later in the week At the request of a minister whose name was not mentioned and of Rabbi Wise of Portland Or a resolution was Introduced and passed condemning the recent massacres of Jews in Russia and resolving That the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States protests against the sickening revolting persecution of Jews and pray Gods hand to stay the wrath of men Then came Dr Thompsons speech On the subject of Mot monism he said This describes Mormonlsm Its empty promises deceive Relentlessly Inexorably It fastens its victims In Its loathsome glue It has one vulnerable point It Is not to be educated it Is not to civilized It is not to be reformed It is to be crushed Dr Richard Ely has declared that there Is nothing comparable to Us system except the German army Quietly it moves to Eastern coasts to foreign capitals It strangles communities yet with what easylnnlf ference we regard it If 2000 men afflicted with smallpox were turned loose upon a community the Nation would rise In a panic We would flee or would grapple with the danger But to be told there are 2000 men abroad trying ith deathless art to Infect a nation with a religious system that Is blasphemous and with practices that are subversive tf social morality and destructive of the national conscience Is to awaken a mild protest here and there And are the churches alive to the situation they who pra sumsbly stand on high ground and axe able see and measure the danger to which men on merely ccwnereUl planes may be blind Our fchurcues In Utah are a brave protest and little more Our schools are a gracious invitation and little more while Mormons send missionaries to us far faster than we send missionaries to them Beware of the octopus There Is one moment In which to seize It says Victor Hugo It Is when It thrusts forth Its head It has done It Its high priest claims a Senators chair in Washington Now is the time to strike Perhaps to miss it now Is to be lost The college men bad their Innings thla afternoon when the president of nearly jevery Presbyterian college In the West and some of those in the East wu heard in connection with the report of the board of aid fdr colleges The report said We need an educated ministry and this for two reasons First to keep ministers In the truth since undisciplined and un tnstructed minds are more easily ted into doctrinal vagaries second to enable ministers to hold the Intelligent and educated neopls found In their congregation It well known that state and undenominational institutions do not supply us adequately with ministers or with consecrated laymen and women In 1901 02 ten stats universities had one candidate to thirty sir university men two Presby ierlan universities one to thirty four lxht Prtsbjtertao colleges one to twelve 7 ssBBsr4J jJBB SBBBrdpjr Jf 2aaMr 34s I BBBBBL fa BaBaflaar 7 Bs wjy I IleT fc Thompson I college men and fourteen small Presbyterian colleges one to fire Such facts seem to warrant the conclusions As a source of supply for our ministry the Presbyterian university Is better than the state university the Presbyterian college is better than the Presbyterian university and the small Western Presbyterian college is best of all What Is our church doing to secure such sources of supply for her ministry It Is believed that our church fairly equals or surpasses other great denominations In all lines of church affinity excepting this college work alone Only money is lacking and our church has It The number of colleges can be Increased at any time as there are outstanding offers of land and buildings provided we can help the new institutions to meet current expenses until endowment Is secured More than one half of the whole number of our churches gave nothing for this cause last year The board aided last year twenty five institutions twelve colleges twelve academies and one special There has been a general increase in students attendance often to an embarrassing degree Buildings faculties and apparatus are Insufficient for the demand and the board la not able to furnish sufficient money for more teachers or buildings The receipts In 1902 03 were J1S5936 as compared with C22S36 in 1901 02 Rev David Schaff of Union Theological Seminary Cincinnati read the report and urged its adoption in a long speech He was followed by Rev Ray secretary of the board Rev August Bruske president of Alma University College Alma Mich Rev Samuel MeCormick president of Coe College Cedar Rapids la Profetsor Zenos of MeCormick Seminary Chicago Rev Dr Fisher of Hanover College Rev Dr Wadsworth of Occidental College Los Angeles and Rev Dr Roberts Several of the speakers in setting forth what they believed to be the advantages of education in denominational college over secular institutions took occasion to criticise the laws of those states which forbid the reading of the Bible or the use of the name of Jesus Christ in public schools The report was finally adopted Rev Dr Van Dyke from the committee on bills and overtures reported on an overture that had come to the assembly on the question of divorce as follows That the ministers of the Presbyterian church are hereby enjoined to refuse to perform the marriage ceremony for divorced persons except those who have been divorced on such grounds and for such causes as are recognized as scriptural by the standards of our church The report of the special committee on divorce and remarriage was on the programme this afternoon but owing to the time devoted to college aid this Important question went over until to morrowmorrow At 430 the assembly adjourned and most of the commissioners accepted an invitation to visit the Hollenbeck Home for Aged People Two meetings were held this evening In the Interest of home missions That at Immanuel Church
