Preparations are virtually com pleted to-day for the great Presby terian convention to be held in At lanta beginning May 15. For the first time? in the history of Presbyterian ism in America representatives from its four branches will gather in joint assembly. From May 15 to May 22 more than 6.000 visiting Presbyterians will be the city’s guests. Of this number 1,600 will be regularly appointed com missioners. constituting the largest religious assemblage ever held In the South. More than 700 representatives of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., or Northern Division, 500 from the Presbyterian Church. U. S., or South ern Division: 300 from the United Presbyterian and 25 special repre sentatives from the Associate Re formed Churches will comprise the assemblies. Atlanta has thrown open her homes to the visitors, all denominations uniting in entertaining the church representatives who come from ev ery State in the Union. Porto Rico, Hawaii and Panama. A number of prominent churchmen from Canada also are expected. The commission ers are chosen, one-half from the clergy and the other half from the laity. They constitute the governing body of the church and are selected large- 1,' because of their prominence and their activity in church work. Church Union Considered. Southern Presbyterians will be es pecially interested in the discussions looking to a union between the United and the Southern divisions. Two com mittees were appointed last year, one from each of the branches, to confer on a possible basis of union. Their reports will be submitted. It is said the committees have reached an agreement and it is generally believed that the assemblies will act favorably on their reports. Details of the agreement have not been published, but it is believed that they will prove acceptable to both bodies. While the Associate Reformed branch of the church w r ill not hold a regular conference here, prominent representatives will be in attendance as special commissioners. Their synod met in December, but it is probable that an adjourned session will be held. A feature of the meeting here, car rying with it perhaps the most wide spread interest, will be a possible ef fort to unite the Northern and South ern branches of the church. Unor ganized endeavor hss been made dur ing several years past to bring about the union, but with no further results than that churchmen have been aroused on the subject. The joint T meeting here is regarded by repre sentative Presbyterians as a most auspicious occasion for the matter to be thrashed out and a union effected. No such opportunity has ever offered itself, as the assemblies have always met In widely separated cities, at sep arate times. Union Seminary Fight. Of considerable interest, particular ly to the Northern branch of the church, will be the effort to bring Union Theological Seminary back into the fold. The sixteen delegates from New York, however, were elected on the pledge that they would fight to maintain the present status of the seminary. Charges of extravagance and usurpation of authority against the Board of Home Missions of the Northern Church wlll^be investigated. Rev. Joseph L. Weaver, D.D., of Rocky Ford, Colo., it is understood, has pre ferred the charges. Dr. William Fui- ton, of Philadelphia, is chairman of the investigating committee. An interesting fight for the place of moderator of the Northern Assembly has developed. Tht leading candi dates are Rev. Dr. Maint-Alexander, of Pittsburg: Rev. Dr. Samuel S. Pal mer, of Columbus, Ohio; Rev. Dr William McKibbin, president of Lane Theological Seminary of Cincinnati, anad Rev. Dr. Frederick W. Hinitt, of Danville, Ky. Bryan to Speak. The meeting of the assemblies :n Atlanta will bring to the city some of the notable men of the country, prominent not only in church affairs, but national figures also. United States Senator Hoke Smith will be present Tuesday, May 20, to preside over a meeting for home mis sions. Some of the most prominent leaders of the Associate RefQrmed bianch of the church will be In at- tc ndance upon the assemblies, one of them being Dr. J. H. Pressley, Ml Statesville. N. C., moderator of the A. R. P. division. Among the definite arrangements already made are a number of confer ences at the various churches of the city. The main sessions will be held at the Baptist Tabernacle and the Auditorium. A joint fellowship gathering will be held at the Auditorium Thursday evening at 8 o’clock. Rev. R. O. Flinn. of the North Avenue Church of At lanta. will preside. A welcome ad dress will be delivered by J. K.

WASHINGTON, May 9. —"Rftects of the Friedmann cure thus far ob served do not justify the confidence in the remedy which has been in spired by w'ell-meant publicity.” This is the crux of an official stale- . ment from the board of examiners of the public health service, delivered by Dr. John F. Anderson before the American. Congress of Physicians and Surgeons in Washington to-day. Dr. Anderson said harm may have been done by undue publicity in less ening the confidence of tuberculosis victims in well-recognized methods of treatment. With respect to the patients under examination in New York, he said many have developed no considerable infiltrate at all and have not suffered from abscess formations. This would indicate that they must be under treatment a long time to effect a cure, as Dr. FYiedmann stated that infiltrate and abscess formations 1t>- dicated more or less rapid progress toward cure. . . Not Ready to Give Opinion. The report which was also sub mitted by Dr Anderson and Dr. A. M. StlnWon, another public health id in part: present time we are not in position to express an opinion upon the present cases under ob servation. The disease for which the remedy is used is prolonged and is marked by periods of improvement and retrogression. "We must not lose sight of the possible therapeutic value of this preparation, but it is necessary' to guard against too great an optimism in respect to its merits. However, we are in a position to state that the facts thus far observed do not justify the confidence in the remedy that has been inspired by widespread publicity. “In our opinion, harm may have been done by this undue publicity because it has lessened the confi dence of tuberculosis patients in well recognized methods of treatment, or interrupted their use. “In our series of patients. Dr. Friedmann has made has made al most exclusive use of the intramus cular method and a very considerable portion of them have developed either no considerable infiltrate at all or have suffered from abscess forma tions. Large Amount of 8®rum Refused. “It is very evident, therefore, that a considerable number of Dr. Fried mann's patients may expect their treatment at the hands of Dr. Fried mann to cover a long period. “Concerning the cultures submit ted to us. we may state that a series of experiments are under way. “The baccilus has been found to be AT THE MENTER HIGH-GRADE SPRING CLOTHING FOR MEN, WOMEN and CHILDREN You will find ju^t the clothing you need and want in our new and correct Spring Styles.

It appears to be identical with an organism cul tivated from a few’ loopfulls of the material used for injection which Dr. Friedmann permitted us to place on culture media in his presence. "We requested Dr. Friedmann to furnish us with a large quantity of this material for examination, but this he refused to do. “We can state that living acid-fast bacteria are being injected by the muscular and intravenous method, al though we are ignorant of what me dium they are suspended in, or what additional substance or substances may be contained in the final mix ture.” CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
