HERESYWARONIN 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.

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.
