Sunday In Pittsburg: have become
famous.
One Nominating Speech.
Only one speech nominating a can
didate for moderator ran be made,
limited to 10 minutes, and only one
speech, and that not to exceed 5
minute, can be made in aeconding the
nomination of a c andidate.
I’reabyterianisni haH always had
more or less to do with the Gov-
ernment of the United States in the
sense that it furnished a large per
centage of its leaders. This is par
ticularly true with regard to the
present administration, as President
Wilson, Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall and Hecretary William Jen
nings Bryan arc prominent elders in
the Presbyterian churches of which
they are members. There are also
other members of the Cabinet who
are Presbyterians. No doubt this
fact will be mentioned not a few’
times at the coining assembly, but it
has long been boasted by the Pres
byterians of this country that the
form of the United States Govern
ment bad its origin in the* Presby
terian church. Indeed, it is almost
an exact copy of the system which
has been in operation in the Presby
terian Church since iin organisation.
The General Assembly is the high
est judicatory of the Presbyterian
Church.
Besides the assembly there are oth
er Judicatories in the \arious Htates,
cities and more local groups, hut in
every case the form of government
is thoroughly representative of the
people-, and thoroughly democratic in
Its administration, anil the represen
tatives in every Judioatory are made
up equally of ministers and laymen,
excepting In the local church, where
it is made up entirely of laymen, with
the minister as presiding officer. In
view of this fact, the possibilities In
an average General Assembly are
great when it comes to a question of
doing things quickly and thoroughly,
for here It is actually believed that
"the voire of the people is the voice
of God." With the Presbyterians
nothing ever "happens’ It has been
"predestined" from the beginning of
time, but in spite of this apparent
fatalistic* view, the most thorough
democracy of opinion prevails at a
General Assembly, for the commis
sioners have Just as profound a oon-
\iction Vith regard to the doctrine of
the free will" of man. With such a
combination there is the utmost lib
erty ami confidence in legislative af
fairs, as well a« a grimness which
makes the proceedirigs of an assem
bly very real.
Presbyterian Women Also
Hold National Conventions
The work of over a thousand wom
en, local and visiting, will be one of
the biggest features of the great gen
eral assemblies of the Presbyterians
opening in Atlanta next Thur?duy.
Besides lending their support to the
various religious movements and at
tending the general night gatherings
nt the Auditorium and the social fea
tures of the week, they will have sep
arate assemblies all their own. These
assemblies will go on at the same
’iine as the sessions of the ministers,
but In different buildings. This is
carrying out the usual custom ob
served by the Presbyterian women’s
general organizations to meet yearly
in the same city and on the same
davs as the national assemblies of
their laymen
As early as Tuesday women dele
gates and missionaries from all parts
of the United States will begin to
arrive, and according to local ma
trons, they ar** going to be royally
entertained 'W hile they are here. They
will be met at the station by Atlanta
hostesses, who will pin badges on
them and take them under their
wings, as it were.
Two Assemblies of Women.
The missionaries—about twenty in
number—will be entertained directly
in Atlanta homes, as well us a group
of fourteen women composing the
Synodical Board of the Southern
Presbyterian Church. As is usual,
the expenses of regular de-legates will
be paid by their home bodies sending
them as representatives, but local
women have spotted boarding houses
and hotels for them and will see to
it that they are escorted or directed
to them in proper style.
There will be two women’s assem
blies—the Presbyterian IT. S. A., or
Northern, and the Southern Presby
terian The United Presbyterian or
ganization for some reason set its
general meeting at a later date and
in another city.
Tlu* organization of the Southern
Presbyterian women is known as the
Women's Council, and its sessions
will be closed, ns is customary. They
will crowd their program into three
days, ami w ill begin Wednesday, a
day ahead of the- men's general as
semblies and the women of the*
Northern Presbyterian Church, and
end their sessions Friday afternoon.
These meetings will be in the North
Avenue Church house, which adjoins

Lack of Men to Join Clergy
Is Presbyterian Trouble
Among many important reports that will be submitted to the
general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church in meeting
in Atlanta will be one from the exeuiivo committee of the Christian
Education ami Ministerial Relief. It will dwell on the problem
created hv the marked lack in the last 10 years of young men
entering the ministry of all Protestant denominations.
There has been a growing real
ization by all denominations that
the fund provided to aid worthy
young men studying for the min
istry and the fund provided for
the livelihood of retired minis
ters are far from adequate.
It is probable that funds provided
by the Southern Presbyterian Church
are larger than those of a number
of other denominations in the South,
but the church is reminded from
year to year that they arc not what
they should be.
In the past twelve years the num
ber of candidates for the Presbyte- \
rian ministry has increased steadily
from year to veer, but contribution?
from the church to aid a large num
ber of these candidates have been
fluctuating and have not kept pace i
with the needs of the work. The re
quirement of all candidates for the
ministry >s that they take a college
course of four years and course
of three years in a theological semi
nary before beginning the* regular
work of the church as ordained min
isters.
Committee Aids 303.
This year 303 candidates have been
recommended for aid in the work of
completion of their education. This
recommendation was made to the
executive committee of Christian Ed
ucation and Ministerial Relief. A
signed statement that each is in
actual need of assistance accompanied
every request for aid from the com
mittee.
Each candidate is promised aid to
the amount of $100 a year until hie
schooling is completed. but the
amount of money received from the
church by the- committee this year
for this purpose has not been suf
ficient to allow the committee to pro
vide candidates with more than $70.
The committee is making special ap
peal to the church In the interest of.
this fund with the hope that before
the* meeting of the general assembly
they may send the full amount lo
each candidate.
Rev. Henry H. Sweets, D.D., of
Louisville, Ky., is secretary of the
executive committee of Christian Ed
ucation and Ministerial Reiief. He
devotes his entire time to this spe
cial work.
There have been 492 ministers or
dained in the Southern Presbyterian
Church in the past ten years and 169
ministers received from other church
es, making a total gain of ministers
661. In the same period of years
305 ministers have died, 42 have been
retired and 77 have been dismissed,
making the total loss to the church
424. This leaves a net gain of 237
ministers.
New Churches Number 363.
The net gain of churches in this
denomination during the past ten
years has been 363. In this time 663
churches have been organized and
300 dissolved.
There are 735 vacant churches in
the Southern Presbyterian Church
this year and. there have been op
portunities for organizing 275 new
churches, making 1010 the number of
churches without asters this year.
In addition to ministers needed for
woVk at home maqV are needed also
for work in the s< veil foreign mis
sion fields of the c. urch, as only 98
missionaries wnt tc these fields by
the church this yeal have been or
dained. There is n^ed for an in
crease of 410 men to the ministry
of the church immediitely. for home
and foreign mission work. 210 for
work in the home mission fields and
200 for work in foreign mission fields.
The report of the executive com
mittee will emphasize all of these
needs to the general a Memblv.
It is estimated that the rale of
increase of candidates for the min
istry is one candidate fur every four
ministers, seven churcaes and 630
members*

TAG’ FDR CHARITY

one cent, five cents, ten cents or
ninny dollars as you please.
Some of the tag ladies have been
known to take in several hundred
dollars for tagging, and last year over
$5,000 was raised for the benefit of
the little children whose mothers and
sinters and grandmothers have to go
out and make a living. These little
children are being given a chance In

are provided with lunches, dinners

Tag Oay, Holiday.
Tag Day has become a holiday in
Atlanta since it v as started several
years ago. Other organizations have

and careful attentions when their
proper guardians are pegging away

and never will be, but one Tag Day
for this city, and that is the one the
Sheltering Arms women provide for
the public in flower-blooming time
each year.

morrow! Make the day one to be
recorded on the calar der of success

Gavels of Historic Interest.
Gavels have been made for the use
of the Moderators of the three As
semblies and these will prove of his
toric as well as interesting value.
The gavel for the Moderator of the
Southern Presbyterian Assembly is
made of wood from several points of
special interest to the church—from
the First Presbyterian Church at Au
gusta, Ga., where the first General
Assembly of the church was held,
from the old Midway Church in Lib
erty County, Ga., where the first
Presbytery and first ordination in
Georgia were held, from the room in
in Thalian Hall, Oglethorpe Univer
sity, that was occupied by the poet,
Sidney Lanier, and from a tree plant
ed by President Talmage.
The gavel for the Moderator of the
Northern Presbyterian Assembly is
made of wood from the First Presby
terian Church at Newburyport, Mass,
founded by George Whitefleld, where
he preached, and under the pulpit of
which he is buried. Combined with
this is wood where Whitefleld’® Beth-
fteda stood, near Savannah.
Banded With Gold.
Wood taken from a building of
what is claimed to be the first Theo
logical Seminary on this continent,
at Service. Pa.. Is that from which
the gavel for the Moderator of the
Assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church has been made.
One has been made aleo for the
presiding officer of the Joint meeting*
of the three assemblies. Thia one is
made of wooa from seminary build
ings at Service, Pa., Princeton, N. J.,
Hampden Sydney, Va., and Due Weat,
S. C., recognized as the four oldest
Theological Seminary buildings.
Around each gavel is a band of Geor
gia gold and on each band Is a suit
able inscription.
The Assembly of tht* year will b#
the fifty-third General Assembly of
the Southern Presbyterian Church
and this will be the third Assembly
of that church to be held in Atlanta,
one having been held here in 1882 and
another in 1900.
