contending views that are now stii
ring the Northern Presbyterian
church from center to circmnfer;
once.
i One address wns by Rev. Dr.
John Do Witt, of Princeton Theological
Seminary, on "The established
standards of the Presbyterian
church should, in this crisis,
bo reallirmed and left unchanged."
Another was by Rev. Dr. (Joorge
R. Stewart, of Auburn Theological
Seminary,on "Entirely new stan l

present, time."'
The subject of the third addrtss
was, "While it would be inadvisable
to discard the established standards
of the Presbyterian church,
the time has come when they
should be underui/.ed in form and
modified in certain statements."
This was the opening of what
