Excerpt from Cumberland Presbyterian Digest, 1810-1919: Comprehending a Succinct History of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church; A Clear Statement of Its Organic Laws; Together With a Faithful Pandect of the Judicial Deliverances of Its Highest Judicatory, the General Assembly; And a Revision of Mr. Stephens' A At the General Assembly held at Birmingham, Ala., in 1916, I had the honor of being Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of that body. Many matters of importance were referred to this Committee, and there was much time wasted because there was no Digest of the deliverances of the General Assembly, since the one compiled by Rev. J. V. Stephens and published in 1899. The need of a new Digest, or one to at least fill up the gap from 1899 down to date, was so evident that a Committee was appointed at that time to prepare an entirely new Digest. I had the honor of being on this Committee, but on account of my entering the army immediately thereafter I was unable to do anything to assist; and it fell to the lot of my former pastor and friend, the Rev. A.C. Biddle, to do the work. The result speaks for itself. The whole Church will greet with approval the announcement that a new Assembly Digest has been completed, in which all rulings of the highest court of our Church have been digested and brought down to date. Every minister, as well as every session clerk, in the entire Church, should at once secure a copy; and there shall be greater intelligence and harmony and the saving of much valuable time in all our Church courts, as a result of the splendid efforts of Brother Biddle in the compilation of our new Cumberland Digest. No man in the denomination was better suited for the careful painstaking work required in the preparation of the Digest than was he; and the Church at large, I am sure, will appreciate and be grateful for the zeal and energy that were required to produce such a work.
