U P Splits Over Control Of Sunday School Work

After two hours, the Home Missions Board won for at least one more year, with George S. Raitt likely to head the work. Prof. John A. Wilson of Pittsburgh Theological Seminary urged harmony as Moderator Russel urged unity. Minor reports followed including a finance recommendation to raise the assembly fund allocation to 3 percent of the budget.
