1896
The following resolution was read and approved: Whereas G. E. Morris is preaching Sanctification as a second moral change, and whereas he has been erecting an alter and inviting christians to seek that change, therefore, resolved, that it is the sense of this Presbytery that such teaching is heresy in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. We therefore charge him as teaching heresy, and demand an investigation of his teachings as an ordained preacher.
J. A. Bozarth, J. D. Harned Committee.
Rev. G. W. St. Clair was appointed to prosecute the above case, and a commission was appointed to take evidence, consisting of H. C. Hook, Thurman Richardson, B. A. Parks, Henry Harned and Dudley Haynes.
The Presbytery concurred in calling a special session to be held at Mt. Pisgah on Thursday before the Fourth Sunday in September 1896, at 10 o'clock, A.M., for the purpose of trying Bros. Scott and Morris.
