Mini Mlra I.aiTjrrs. 'Thank (id we are not lawyers',\ tr. Watson exclaimed In his address. This probably turned many commissioners, particularly those of the legal profession, iig.ilnst his substitute resolution. In defence of his profession James De Witt Andrews of New York \said the I'resbjterlan Church had good cause to I thankful \that John Calvin was a laer.\ A half hour later Judge Hawthorne of lv.im.its City, speaking In behalf of Ur, W.itson'M substitute, said the adoption of th\ coinnilsslon't report, with Its plan of of merger, would encourage \shster law- jers' throughout the land to begin a uliolevile unset upon bequests made to t.ir pie-c- Hoard of Kducatlon and the Cclbge Hoard. \Tiny will get after the heirs to those estates, offering to conduct the case on M pel cent, basis, and the heirs will ii- - 'do to It.'\ said Dr. Hawthorne. ills arcuimnt and Dr. Watson's argu ment and the arguments of all who of the merger were that -- legal dltll-cu- li es lie In the way and that the merger m r lit Imperil IcgacUs and bequests held tv the existing boa-d- s. All those doubts and fears were swept nde. however, nnd Dr. John Willis IMer, t..e l.t) man who secured the vie-to-- y for the merger at Rochester, won .iwither victory by a splendid plea In slight ichalf \f this forward movement for Clirtt!n education. Ur. liner I'lrnds for Chance. \I want to see one great major Hoard ef Christian Kducatlon Instead of two ni.nor boards, Dr. Haer sulil, \This is ih biggest chance to do the biggest ork for tho bravest boys and girls In the land.\ Dr. Stevenson showed that tho mer- rier would be nn economy, as It provides for only one general secretary and staff ef assistants Instead of two general who are now In charge. \Another advantage,\ said Dr. Steven-\n- . \Is that Western Synods have merged their education nnd coi- l's work, finding It much more effective (hm the old system. I say that what l.as been found good for a synod ought to be good for th whole country.\ A shout of approval greeted this state- ment The executive commission put up a \rong tight to save tho merger proposl-- i on from defeat. The speech of George v M.issey, a Philadelphia lawyer, made on Monday afternoon, created an Impres- - m that serious dlttlcultles might be In the civil courts nnd to off-th- is impression Mr. Massey again the assembly and emphasized the point that the adoption of the report by 'he (icneral Assembly would \strongly \ml either to the avoidance of legal com-- i (cations or the satisfactory adjust- ment and settlement thereof If they shall rl.e ' Mr. Masse cited decIioiiM of the I'nlted States District Court of Kansas end the United States Court of Appeals \ l Kighth Circuit to snow that the leclslcti of a fienernl Assembly has an all powerful Influence upon the settle- ment ot ecclesiastical cases by the civil courts Charles P Cairns of New York also forei the merger, saying that the courts must respect the decision of the ttnieral Assembly, as both the college board and tho board of education were mre agmts of the assembly. The Hev. Dr John M. Oaston, speaking for tho Hoard of Kreedmcn, said that only a.ftiin of the 30.000 colored preach 'fs In lh\ South wero eilucated.

Every Hour On the Hour In 1776 tlic New Yorker poiri\; to Philadelphia had little choice ns to means of travel. He took passage on John Merccreau's stage, \The Flyinpr Machine,\ for either the Monday or Thursday trip, and \the weather permitting and God willing\ arrived in Philadelphia after a weary, jolting ride of two days in tho springless, strap-hun- g cab of the old stage coach. To-da- y when Mr. New Yorker goes to Philadelphia, he simply decides what hour he wants to leave, then looks at his watch to see how much time- - he has. for he knows a fast train leaves every hour on the hour on the New Jersey Central. Instead of two days on the road he is barely two hours. He can transact his business and be back in New York without losing a minute's time. Should he be en route at meal time he will find the cuisine the equal of that of his club or favorite restaurant. Leave Liberty Street from 7 A. M. to 10 P. !. weekdays; 8.15 A.
