Bribes Used to Draw Men From Church Debate

The northern Presbyterian general assembly in Des Moines receives a telegram from Greenville accusing the home board of aiding southern congregations. The northern body denies the charge and refuses to set a committee to investigate. A heated session over a book on forms and services is deferred after a lengthy debate. Dr. Johnston of Montreal provokes applause as he denounces priestcraft. Dr. Van Dyke notes two extreme views and cautions against naming the report. A Cumberland unionism suit in Decatur favors the unionists, with a possible appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court. The Indianola measure to dissolve the union is withdrawn amid sentiment against drastic action.
