ARE TO COIISIDER ; aWGEOF HERESY General Assembly of Presbyterian Church to Try Two Ministers.

1 (American News Service) Atlantic City, N. J.,' May 17. Nearly all of the 868 delegates to the annual

meeting of the General Assembly of

the Presbyterian church, which opens here tomorrow, have already arrived in

town, together with a large number

of visitors. . With the calling to order of the foreign missionary conference this after

noon the assembly began to get under way, though the formal opening does not take place until tomorrow morning. The annual report of the Hoard of Foreign Missions shows the largest

gift to missions ever made by the board, amounting to $1,698,500. The receipts of the board were also the largest, and were 11,632.000 from regular resources. The most Important event of the first regular session of the assembly tomorrow will Yts the selection of a

moderator. Ordinarily the election is

preceded by a more or less spirited

contest, though the candidates them

selves never take an active part. This year, however, there appears to be an unusual dearth of candidates. Some

of the Western commissioners have

launched a good-sized 'boom in behalf of Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle. The only candidate thus far offered by the eastern wart of the country is Rev. John F. Carson, D. D., pastor of the

Central 1 Fresbyterlan church of Brooklyn. Other candidates for the

moderatorship will probably appear

before the . election . tomorrow after-

soon. " The much discussed heresy charges are likely to pop up Friday, when the reports, of the Presbyteries are read.

The clergymen against whom .the

charges of heresy have been made are

the Rev. Dr. Francis Brown, president

of the Union Theological seminary In New Yodt City, and one of, the most

r eminent theologians in America, and

toe Rev. ,Dr. William Adams Brown, -a professor in the Union , seminary.

. The charges . against these t two

jderymen are grought by the Rev. Dr. i W. L. McEwan, pastor of the Third I Presbyterian church of Pittsburg. Dr. j McEwan complains about certain Utatements made by the two clergymen in recent newspaper articles written by them, which he construes to be In direct opposition to the most cher

ished doctrine of the church, as well as the essential and fundamental beliefs of Christian people.

The -executive commission of the assembly, a body recently created to carry on the work of Presbyterianism during the year, met today to put the finishing touches to the reports and recommendations to be presented to thr assembly. The leading recommendations affect the various boards of the church, grouping them In four classes, and providing that the trustees or directors of one board may serve on any other in the same classification. " The plans, it is said, call for some radical changes in the present system of management, and the fear is openly expressed that the commission's recommendation wili meet

with vigorous opposition In the, assembly. . -.. It is believed the effort to reduce the number of members of the assembly will be successful this year. Of late years the body has increased in size until it has become unwieldy. : The executive commission is expected to recommend a reduction to about 600

members. Another Important recommendation of the commission, which is to be, considered and acted upon by the assembly, is that the budget committee confer with the boards in New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, In a proposed

financial campaign for the benevolent

fund of the church, to be carried on under the direction of the commission.
