OBLANDA, Fla., May 24.—Wom-
an's status In the southern Presby-
terian church which emerged from a
maze of parliamentary entangle-
ments practically unchanged after ex-
tended discussion, became the sub-
ject today of a protest to be regis-
tered tomorrow by at least fifty of
the less than 300 commissioners at-
tending the general assembly here.
At an informal meeting today a com-
mittee of five was appointed to
frame a protest against the defeat of
an amendment yesterday which pro-
vided that women be "prohibited
from expounding the scriptures or
leading in prayer in the public wor-
ship of the church."
The assembly today also decided
to Increase the endowment fund for
ministerial relief to $1,000,000 and to
set aside the third Sunday of Sep-
tember of this year only as a special
day for calling for money for this
fund/ It also was agreed that young
men studying for the ministry should
not be given money outright as here-
tofore. But that they should be given
loans from the fund. The loans aro
to be paid back later, either in cash
or in work for the church.
After tho assembly had decided
that women should not be allowed to
preach it took up the subject of
whether they should bo recognized
as deaconesses. During the discus-
sion of the latter feature the amend-
ment objected to today, was offered
and It was carried. At the session
yesterday afternoon, however, a Ions
statement of the church's attitude to
ward women was presented and at
practically the same time It was
moved to reconsider tho vote by
which the restrictive amendment had
been passed in the morning. On re
considering the amendment was lost
and the assembly adopted as its at-
titude the statement presented.
While It was decided not to grant ,
women deaconate right* it was set
forth that the work of women In the
church was of great usefulness and
that it should be encouraged, par-
ticularly in home and foreign mission
endeavors. The protest planned to-
day was to be presented to tho as-
sembly tomorrow morning with the
request that it be recorded on min-
utes of the meeting.
In addressing the assembly In fav
or of the million dollar endowment
fund, the Rev. Henry H. Sweets
stated that while educational work
was facing a crisis, that at the same
time more was being written regard-
ing Christian education than ever be-
fore. He emphasized the fact that
there Is no need for conflict between
church colleges and state univer-
sities and that each had its place
He showed that southern Presbyter-
ians had more than $7,000,000 In-
vested In educational institutions, j
The total enrollment in Presbyterian
institutions last year was 8,755.
The assembly today chose Birming-
ham as the 1917 meeting place.
