A number of commissioners, however,

pation. The federal court of appeals re
cently decided in favor of the contention
of the Presbyterian church, U. S. A., hut

tinue the suits. Formal indorsement by

Another resolution by Hev. J H.

PRESBYTERIANS REAFFIRM
OPPOSITION TO LIQUOR!
Declare Against Assembly Action Placing It On Record as Sup
porting Any Political Organization, However.
Committee Report Adopted
Newport News. Va., May 24.—The gen
eral assembly of the Southern Presby
terian church today reaffirmed its op
position to the liquor traffic, but de
clared against assembly action placing
it on record as supporting any political
organization further than “humbly peti
tion or advise.” This action, it was said,
did not repeal the resolution advocating
national prohibition adopted by the 1914
gercral assembly at Kansas City, as each
assembly is a distinct body and cannot
undo what has been done previously.
The assembly’s stand on the liquor
question was contained in the report of
the committee on bills and overtures,
which was adopted, and was a result of
the protest to the Virginia synod against
the action of the 1914 assembly.
It was emphasized in the report and in
the Virginia synod's protest, that in tak
ing this position the assembly “makes
no retraction of the church’s attitude
against the evils of the liquor traffic or
the sin of intemperance,'' but that fur
ther action would violate the constitution
of the church.
The protest of the Transylvania pres
bytery of Kentucky on the same ques
tion is pending in committee.
At three sessions today the assembly
approved entertainments in church
buildings for the purpose of raising
church funds.
Large Aid Given
Aid was given to candidates in scliool
preparing for the Presbyterian ministry,
this number being the largest aided In
my one year.
In the work of ministerial relief the
committee reported that it aided dur
ing the year 62 retired ministers, 142
widows of ministers and 23 orphans of
ministers. The total amount expended
for beneficiaries was $43,435.60, which
ums $4713.93 more than in the pre
ceding year.
The endowment fund for ministerial
relief liad increased $7500 during the
year, it was added, and the total amount
now invested is $330,600.
The appe"* Rev. Lloyd P. Field, for
mer pastor of a church at Ouachita, Ark.,
against the Bynod of Arkansas, was re
ferred to a judicial committee named by
the moderator on recommendation of the
judicial committee.
The report of the readterim committee
on education was received and referred
to the judicial committee.
On recommend'! f!un of the standing
committee on foreign correspondence,
greetings were sent to the northern as
sembly in session at Rochester, N. Y.,
and to the United Presbyterian assembly
at Loveland, Col.
On Paid Entertainments
The question of holding paid entertain
ments in church buildings provoked much
discussion. The issue was brought to the
attention of the assembly in an overture
from the First Presbyterian church of
Wilmington, N. C.. which sought authority
to continue this practice. The vote was
largely in favor of granting the authority
requested.
The report of the standing committee
cn Christian education and ministerial
relief was submitted tonight by the
secretary, the Rev. Dr. Henry H.
Sweets, of Louisville, Ky. It showed
that during the past year $108,010.45
had been contributed to this cause, an
increase of $6863.00 over the preceding
year.
Addresses were delivered by the. Rev.
Dr. Sydney L Oulick. formerly a mis
sionary to Japan and now a representa
tive of the federal council of the
churches of Christ, in which capacity
he recently visited Japan: by the Rev.
Alva C. Hardy, who brought a fra
ternal message from the Presbyterian
church in Brazil, and by the Rev.
Stuart L. Rossell of Paris, representing
a delegation of the Huguenots.

B. Lyons, probate Judge of Lee county,
this afternoon tendered his resigna
tion to Governor Henderson. Judge
Lyons did not assign any reason for
his action but it is understood that h«
resigned his office because of the rec
ommendations of the Lee county grand
jury that he be impeached on the
grounds of misappropriation of funds
and intemperance.
Judge Lyons was in Montgomery to
day and conferred with Attorney Gen
eral "William L. Martin. He declined
to give out any statement following
his conference with the attorney gen
eral but it is certain that his talk with
that official concerned his impeachment
Cas«.
Attorney General Martin announced
tonight that as a result of Judge Lyons'
lesignatlon he would not proceed any
further with the Impeachment proceed
ings. Mr. Martin probably will inform
the supreme court, before which tri
bunal the case would have been ried,
of Judge Lyons’ action.
Impeachment Recommended
The impeachment of Judge Lyons
has been recommended at two sessions
of the Lee county grand Jury, the jury’s '
first report having been sent to the j
attorney general about three weeks
ngo. The second report, substantial
ly the same as the first, though sup- j
ported by testimony of witnesses, was
lecelved by Mr. Martin tonight.
Judge Lyons’ successor will be ap- .
pointed by Governor Henderson.
Attorney General Martin tonight
cave The Age-Herald correspondent
the following statement regarding
Judge Lyons' case:
"On May 13 the report of the grand
Jury of Lee county recommending the
impeachment of J. B. Lyons, judge of
J probate, reached this office. On account
I of the doubtful sufficiency of this re
I port the grand jury was reassembled
I and on May 20 made a second recom
mendation. Under the statute it now
j becomes the duty of the attorney gen
eral to file articles of impeachment
with the supreme court.
“Judge Lyons has today resigned his
office. As the object of impeachment
is the removal of the official the only
further proceedings of this office will
be to report the facts to the supreme
court and ask that a proper order he
entered disposing of the recommenda
tion. Under the holding of the court in
the case of the state vs. Wood, judge
of probate of Lowndes county (1904 b
the proceeding now' becomes a moot
cause, which the court will not con
sider.”
