WSfSgw, In?1.. Msjr ir>.? The General Assembly of

America will meet ?it WlBOM Park, two miles from

wives. While there ar?? those who traae Prexliy
terinn principles bark to the Apostle?? of New Tes'n
PSBI limes, and even to Abraham. If not to Adam.
It Is a matter of historical record that the WSSt?
Blaster Confession of Faith, the acknoiv'? Aged
aymhol of this Important l?ody, was adapted two
hundred and fifty years ago, The Southern Assem
h'.y has prepared an ??laliorate programme in con
?setkM with its aaattni in North caroUm ttiis
ye-.ir. but the Northern Assembly apparently over?
looked the fact that this was the proper year In
Which to commemorate the completion of the Con?
fession of Faith and the fJatechlBSM of the Presby?
terian Church.
The first question of Importance in the meeting
of the General Assembly Is the selection of Mod?
erator, as t!io presi.llnc officer Is called. While th?*
candidates are not as thl k as the leaves at \V.llom
brosa, they Include an ex-l'r.-sident of the United
H -. an ex-Fos-timstor-C.r'tnTal. a thenloplcal
?emlnsry professor and pastors and borne mission?
arles of greater or less National reputation. For
several years at the time of the heresy trials of
Professor Brlgga and Professor smith, the Con?
Mrvathre party was In control, and no man whose
thooloRlosl opinions would not have satisfied John
Calvin or John K 110*1 was satisfactory to the ma?
jority. The Liber?la ??on.etimes declined to nomi?
nate a candidate, voting: for that one ?elected by
th.? Conservatives who seemed less ultra than his
competitor, who. It must b>? added, was ?uiu???flll
Last year, howevef, there was a change In the
temper of the Assembly. The Rev. Pr. John Lan?
sins Wltlirow. of Chicago? while nominated by ?
Conservative pastor atnl supported by many of the
Strongest rpen In that party, STS? elected, and he
showed such a kindly spirit toward tho?'* who had
b??en In the minority that it was impossible at
times to nil where his theological hlfls. if he hud
one. lay. He f'llflllcd all of the promt jos made in
his behalf by Dr. John R. Dories, of Now-York.
who placr-d him In nomination. The opening ser- j
mon of the retiring Moderator strikes the keynote
cf the Assembly, as a rule, snd ?Dr. Booth*? alo*

IIAHMiiXy WITHOUT LOSS OP PRINCIPLE.
Dr. Hootii appealed to the Assembly for a broth
erlv conlercnce, that the dMereaoM which had di?
vided the Presbyterian Church might be s.ttled
by arbitration and that lisht mlsht be thrown
upon the present perplexities, and thus afford
?ome clear indication as to what was desired In
the way of nn extension of Presbyterian liberty.
Tho conference was not held, but the spirit of the
As.-embiy was differ? nt from that of It? ptsdSCSS
??jrs for severa! years. Kvery effort was made by
nearly all ?soncerned to forcet differ.'iices and to
emphasize agreements. Harmony rflcned without
the sacrifice of principle. It would perhaps he say?
ing too much to add that this outward appearance
of unity was satisfactory to every one on either
Bids, but it satisfied the majority in both pc.rties.
Among the candiilrit?-.- .already BUggeStSd for
Moderstor are ?a-Preorldent Hartiaon, of Indian?
spoils; John Wsnstnsker, of Philadelphia; Profes?
sor Henry C. Minton. of San Francisco, and Dr.
Bheldon Jackson, of Alaska. The names of Dr. R.

of Yonkers. X. T., an?l Hors??e B. BlUtaa-a, of ?'o
hoes. N. T?, have als<-> l?een mentioned. The frietuls
of the clerical commissioners have BUgseatsd that
a constltutlon.il question will be rai.?"?.! If a layman
is nominated. They declare that the p.ook?the
constitution of the Presbyterian Church?requires
that a cl'-rpyman should be the Moderator. While
it is admitted that precedenl i= agnlnsl a lay Mod*

of New-York had crio last fall at its meeting In
Brooklyn General Prime. It has been reported I
that ex-Preeldent Harrison has asked his frtmds
not to supe??at ?iis name. an?l the friend? of Dr.
Minton. Dr. Jsckson and Mr. Wanamaker aro cor?

The Moderator must be an efficient presiding offi?
cer, with a thorough parliamentary knowledge,
snd he must also b? able to appoint capable men
on th?? committees whleh deal with questions far

than six hundred commissioners, for example, is
appointed on one or'more committees; many of
them are on i vrai ttommlttees, some of which arc

"WouM auch fine work all through a wheel be of
snth.?!?-nt practical benefit to justify the expense?"
"No, and I only mado the explanation to show
the Impracticability of building a wheel all through

"How many kinds of bearing? are there?"
"With regard to the surface contact of the balls,
the hearings are usually clssaed a? two-point and
three-point bearings.'*

"In the two-point, the halls touch St one placo
