CUB MEETING
Presblterian Convention in Ses-
sion at Louisville Must Solve
Some Hard Problems.
Continued From Page One.
only 22 churches out of more than 10,-
000 reported more than 100 accessions.
More Aggressive
Methods Needed
‘ This certainly," said Dr. Carson, "is
a, situation that calls upon us to con
sider our ways and that summons us
to a more definite and aggressive evan
gelism." He declared that the spirit Os
evangelism is alive in the ministry and
the membership of the church, but there
is imperative need of its yet greater
development.
Taking up conditions that hamper the
church. Dr. Carson said: “The church
has become so overlaid, if not stifled,
by a congeries of societies and guilds
and movements that it is lost sight of
except when criticised for failure to
support innumerable, movements. Let
the church itself have right of way.'
Let churchmen, who in zeal and devo
tion are promoting so many movements,
concentrate their thought and eyrgy
upon Itfie churches with which they are
connected and work through these
churches, and the results will justify
and reward this concentration of their
interest and energy.”
Continuing he said:
"There are labors which the church
will freely share with others —philan-
thropists, educators, political and social
reformers. Everything human is of in
terest to Christ and must be to His
church. But it must not be forgotten
that in its service to man the church
has a function peculiarly its own. That
function is ministry to man’s spiritual
being."
Reckless Love of
Pleasure Curses Age.
"The Temper of Critcism” was dis
cussed by Dr. Carson. He said it is
alert and the church seems to be the
special object of its attack.
The church is charged." he de
clared. “with every conceivable folly
and inefficiency, blindness and indiffer,
ence to the needs of rhe time. We are
fßici that ft has lost'its hold upon the
HTe of today. Such things have been
said about the church in every age.
Despite all the criticism, the church to
day stands forth with as fine and fair a
front to its work. w ith as genuine and
g§n.erous an enthusiasm for its work,
as it ever had."
Admitting that there are conditions
in church life and work that call for
consideration. Dr. Carson said:
"The tone of religious life needs
strengthening. Many keen up the out
ward semblance, while the fire has gone
out on the inner altar. Too manv are
fertile in the restless superficiality and
reckless love of pleasure that curse our
age."
..Summing up the call to the church.
Dr. Carson said that it zfs for deeper
and more genuine Christian living and
revival that will quicken the spiritual
life, of church members and give a
church of the superlative order. There'
should be more religious home life and
religious training of children, meetings
for social prayer and faithful attend
ance at al! services of. the church.
Presbyterians Invited
To Meet Jointly Here
Efforts to obtain the joint conven
tions of the Southern, the Northern and
the "t’nited Presbyterian churches for
Atlanta in 1913 will crystallize this
week when Atlanta representatives
meet with the three bodies in Bristol.
Va., Louisville and Seattle.
The Southern church is in conven
tion today. Invitations from the Pres
byterian churches of Atlanta from the
mayor, council and Governor Brown
will be extended for Atlanta by Dr.
Dunbar Ogden, Dr. Richard Orme Flinn
and others Should they accept. Dr.
Hugh Walker, who is attending the
Northern meeting at Louisville,.will be
telegraphed. He will then present the
matter to that branch of the church.
Dr. Walker, if he obtains this accept
ance. will then go to Seattle, where the
United, church meets, and connect the
third link.
This matter has been discussed be
fore, and individual opinions have been
that all three conventions would be
’glad to unite In Atlanta.
Should the joint convention come
here it would bring about 1.500 dele
gates and as many laymen. Separate
meetings of the three branches would
be held in the North Avenue. Central
Presbyterian and Tabernacle churches,
and the joint meetings in the Audi
torium-Armory at night.
■ Dr. Walker says that Atlanta will win
I in each assembly without a doubt.

VICE CRUSADERS
PLAN MIT RAI D 5
Atlanta Commissioners Have
Evidence Against Resorts in
City’s Residence Section..
"■The newly created Atlanta vice com
mission. which grew out of the city
wide campaign of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement, has begun active
work on its probe of the social evil
in this city. It proposes to conduct an
investigation which will bring out every
detail of lit'- in the underworld of At
lanta and then devise a plan to bring
iybout every'reform possible. The.com
mission is moving carefully and delib
erately before recommending any ac
ting.
The first forma! meeting of the com
mission was called by Chairman Joseph
A McCord yesterday afternoon in the
city.hall. The body organized by elect,
ing Dr. E G. Ballinger vice chairman
and Thomas.J. Day secretary. Every
member was present. Resides those
named, the commissioners are John S.
Camiler, James R. Nutting. Orville H
Halit George W. Boynton. William G.
Humphrey, R N. Fickett, Sr... and
George I. Walker. They represent both
bodies of the city, council and citizens
at large.
Wants Public to Help.
All meetings of the vice commission
are to be open to the public, and.every
citizen is invited to offer information
or suggestions which may assist in the
work of reform. It is probable that a
second meeting will be held this week.
Information has been received by the
commission that a number of citizens
are ready to furnish data aVhich will aid
materially in the investigation. It is
said ftiat evidence is already before
members of the commission which will
result in closing a number of resorts
now existing in residence sections.
Ask Police For Aid.
The first step taken by the commis
sion was the adoption of. a resolution
asking council for $250 as an expense
fund and the police department for a
special officer to aid in investigations.
The first efforts of the board will be
directed at disreputable resorts mas
querading as cheap hotels and lodging
houses. Several of these have been
the scenes of police raids recently,, and
it is expected that three or four will be
closed upon the recommendation of the
commission within a few weeks.
The protection of young girls, rather
than the reform of hardened sinners,
is to be one of the principal aims of the
vice commission.
The reported practice by the .police
court of fining women at regular in
tervals, amounting practically to li
censing them, was up. The com
mission will investigate this and rec
ommend that the practice be stopped,
and that jail sentences take the place
of fines.

Supreme Court and
Governor Refuse to
Stay Slayers' Doom
The state supreme court -and Gov
e.rnor Joseph M. Brown are giving
slayers small chance to evade justice
now
Figures recently appearing in court
records show that-the high tribunal has
been exceedingly loarth to reverse atrial
judge in capital cases, on legal techni
calities.
For the March term. 1911, 24 murder
cases were affirmed and tw o: reversed.
For the October term. 1911. 29 cases
were affirmed .and .one reversed. For
the March term. 1912, eight cases have
been argued and not a single judgment
reversed. ....
Governor Brown, during his present
term, has refused in every
appe'aled to him to set aside the judg
ment of the courts and commute the'
death sentence.
HOT SPRINGS UNHURT
BY FLOOD, DECLARES
A FORMER ATLANTAN
"The report that appears to have
gained ground in. Georgia that the baths
at Hot Springs, Ark., have been sus
pended on account of-,the flooded con
dition in the Mississippi valley is ab
surd to any one who knows anything of
the topograph' of the land, says W. W.
Waters, a resident of Hot Springs, who
is in Atlanta looking'after his real es
tate interests
"Hot 'Springe. Ark., the place of the
famous ‘ baths, is over 100 miles from
any point of the flood." Mr. Waters con
tinued. “and the country around there
it.no more affected by the flood than is
Georgia. Travel to that section also is
unhindered. There are at least a dozen
ways by which one may reach Hot
Springs from this section without being
incommoded by the flood.”
Mr. Waters is a former Georgian who
went West shortly after the war He
was too young to take pari in the light
ing, hut fled with his mother from At
lanta when Sherman entered the city.

Wilson’s Final Collapse.

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT
The Way Samose Works Its Won
ders Guaranteed by Jacobs’
Pharmacy.
More-than half-the readers'of The
Georgian would give almost anything
to be. plump and rosy instead of thin
and scrawny. ......
Physicians and chemists for years
have studied the problem of making a
flesh forming food, but it is only within
the last few months that a bright man
discovered the prescription that tak
en with the daily meals gives a positive
increase in flesh. In. fact it .was so
certain in its action that a guarantee
was attached to each package stating
that if weight did not increase as a
result of using it, the purchase price
would be refunded.
This preparation is now put up in
convenient form for use under the
name of Samose
Jacobs' Pharmacy has secured the
agency in Atlanta for Samose and as
‘the percentage of satisfactory results
from the use of this prescription is so
nearly one hundred per cent, they feel
there is no risk in offering to refund
the money if Samose does not do all
that is claimed for it.
Everybody that is thin • and out of
health should begin today the use of
Samose with a guarantee like this.
