Final Adjournment of the Presbyterian Assembly in Philadelphia
The one hundred thirteenth Presbyterian General Assembly dissolved at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday after nearly two weeks of sessions. The major issue, revision of the confession of faith, was referred to a 21 member committee for recommendations to the next assembly in New York. Tensions arose over chairmanship and a temporary dispute led to shifts in leadership before a final adjustment by Dr. Dickey. The closing hours covered routine matters and a call for action on Pacific island liquor legislation, with a special committee on evangelistic work named. The assembly ended with Moderator Minton’s address and the hymn Bless Be the Tie That Binds.

Secretary Root reportedly says the court sustains administration policy in insular affairs since ratification of the Paris treaty. He notes the Foraker act shows Congress may legislate without constitutional limits for islands. He adds the ruling on uniform duties does not apply to insular possessions, with some anticipated embarrassment from the decision.
