THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, TV EH DAY. .MAY IT liMT
Noted Temperance Lecturer De
clares Vice Crusade Is Object
Lesson to the World.
ALL TRAINS BEAR DELEGATES
Business Men Lay Down Work to
Help Welcome Hosts Pouring
in for Assemblies.
With the beginning of the influx of
thousands of delegates and visitors ♦ j
the Presbyterian Assembly which
opens here Wednesday, Atlanta al
ready is ringing with their praises as
the cleanest city in the world—both
morally and physically.
Experts from other and larger
cities, who inspected the town Mon
day, have declared Atlanta is an ob
ject lesson to other cities of the na
tion in what can be done.
“The fact that such a large city us
this could so effectively remove the.
scars from its social side is .a great
proof of the fact that so-called evil
necessities are anything but necessa
ry,” declared the Rev. Charles Scan
lon. of Pittsburg, the noted temper
ance lecturer, who arrived Monday.
While few delegates were expected
to arrived before Wednesday, early
trains Tuesday brought in their quota
and several hundred are expected to
come in during the day.
From now until Thursday after
noon it is doubtful if any train en
tering Atlanta will be minus a corps
of ministers and elders coming to At
lanta to participate in the conven
tion. Several special trains are sched
uled to arrive Wednesday morning.
There will be two from New York,
one from Chicago, .>ne from St. Louis
bringing in the Western delegates,
one from Ohio and one from Philadel
phia. These are the special trains of
which the local committee has re
ceived notice. It is possible there will
be others.
Registration Bureau Opens.
Tuesday morning found headquar
ters on the fifth floor of the Empire
Building opening with as busy a rush
as character.zed the place Monday.
Rev. Jere Moore, who is secretary of
the local convention committee, has
been the busiest man in Atlanta for
the past week and is right up to his
ears in work now. Assisting him are
a large number of ministers and
business men, grinding away in the
effort to make everything run
smoothly, in the list are a number
of men of heavy business interests
who have laid aside everything in the
entertainment of the mammoth joint
convention.
Rev. Mr. Scanlon, who will be one
of the principal speakers at the great
temperance service Sunday night in
Wesley Memorial chapel, is much in
terested in Atlanta, especially in con
nection with tho vice crusade cam
paign which Chief of Police Beavers
has waged.
“Of course, I know nothing person
ally of what Atlanta has done in
cleaning up the city, but I have heard
much of it.” he said to a Georgian
reporter. “1 suppose the vie? crusade
In Atlanta has attracted more atten
tion than any single city campaign
ever carried on in this country, and
there has been much discussion of it.
When a city like Atlanta decides to
make itself good and succeeds in
doing so, it is indeed an object lesson
to every other city in the world, for
certainly what has been done here
can be done elsewhere.”
Another prominent arrival was
.Rev. T. P. Junkin. president of the
Daniel Baker College, of Brown wood.
Texas. “Well, I'm with you and g.’|d
to be here, too,” was his greeting as
he introduced himself to Rev. Jere
Moore. The joint assembly here has
been all the talk among Presbyterians
down my way. and 1 suppose this
mammoth meeting will be talked o*
for many years to come.”
Missionary Meeting Sunday.
In addition to the mammoth tem
perance meeting to be held Sunday-
night, there will be a Sunday school
missionary meeting Sunday afternoon
in the Central Presbyterian Church.
It will be one of the most interesting
features of the convention.
The meeting will be unique in that
its object is somewhat different from
that of the ordinary missionary meet
ing. It will be an actual demonstra
tion of platform missionary instruc
tion in the Sunday school. Dr. A. L.
Phillips, general superintendent of
the Department of Sabbath Schools
and Young People’s Societies of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States, will preside at this meet
ing.
There will be a brief address on
“The Value of Missionary Education
in the Sunday School,” by the Rev.
Charles R. Watson, of Philadelphia.
This will be followed by a demonstra
tion of “A Missionary Opening Exer
cise” for the Sunday school, entitled
“America’s Welcome.” The theme of
this address will be immigration, and
It will be presented by a number of
young people from the Central Pres
byterian.
Often features of the work will be
the demonstration of how, in five min
utes* or less, to present to a Sunday
school a missionary book so as to
Insure its being read. There also will
be instructions as to how to make
a telling misisonary speech and how
to present a missionary map talk ef
fectively.
Special Music Feature.
Among other prominent workers
who will participate in this meeting
are Mrs. D. E. AVaid. New York;
George innes. Philadelphia, and the
Rev. A. W. Halsey, New York. There
will be a large chorus and special
music under the direction of Pro-
Ponce DeLeon Rink Now
Goen.
Differences of Opinion on Social
Service May Serve to Keep

adopted by most of the leading de
nominations in this country,'some of
them having accepted it long before
the platform of the Federal Council I
had been drawn up.
The Federal Council’s platform is, I
therefore, practically the expression of I
the Protestant forces of this country,
with regard to social service.
Asa matter of fact, most of the j
criticism that has beeni directed |
Against the social service platform of!
the Federal Counc il is based upon the j
assumption that those are the only |
principles for which the council is I
contending, hut the council spoke just j
as strongly with regard to •‘evan
gelism," "foreign missions." “temper- j
anee,” “Sabbath observance,” “the
family and the home” and upon kin - |
died, subjects as it did upon social j
service.
At Its last meeting in Chicago a I
strong evangelistic commission was,
appointed!' which will no doubt in j
time be jusj as influential as' the so- ;
cial service commission of the. coun- i
oil. It simply happened that the men
who were interested in social servic- j
became immediately active when they
were appointed, so that they have got ’
a better start than Some of the other
commissions.
Favored by Atlantans.
The report of the social service
commission submitted at the Chicago
meeting indicates that the men who
framed it are warmly sympathetic
toward evangelistic work and the
evangelistic spirit. Following are some
extracts from this much-maligned re
port ;
“The church, is not tuining aside
from her task, neither is-she creating
new forces: still further than this we
are happily discovering that the con
servation of the e.vangelistlc note is
an essential to an effective social gos
pel. and are no longer disposed to
rend asvoder that which Christ has
joined together.
“We are not to forget that we can
I have no kingdom of heaven on earth
until our economic programs are fash
ioned in the light of spiritual ideals
and with spiritual ends in view, and
we are to remember that the world
will come together in the consumma
tion of sympathy, tenderness an i
brotherhood only when all men are
brought to sit together at the feet of
Christ.”
It is impossible to tell how strongly
developed is the. feeling tha ihe
Southern Assembly should sever its
connection with the Federal Council,
but the men who have been fighting
in Atlanta for the eradication of the
social evil are strongly in favor oi
having the Southern Assembly retain
its relationship to this interdenomina
tional organization. This feeling also
characterizes the attitude of the mem
bers of the Presbytery of Atlanta.

Progress of the Southern Presby
terian Church, which section of the
church includes a majority of *he
Presbyterian churches in the South,
is interesting.
Statistics to be read in the assem
blies show the number of ruling elders
in the church io be 10,977; the num
ber of Heaeons, 10,637; the number

During the year 6,021 adults and 4.970
infants were baptized. The total

The amount contributed last year
to foreign missions was $501,412; to

gregational expense, $1,493,234: to
miscellaneous, $233,673. making a to
tal of $4,4193,044 contributed to all
causes.
The vote of the presbyteries on the
proposed amendments in the Confes
sion of Faith and the Book of Church
Order, handed down Dy the assembly
of 1912, has peen awaited with special
interest, as every amendment must
receive the approval of three-fourths
of the presbyteries before the assem
bly can authorize the same
With reference to the “elect infant
clause” in the Confession of Faith, re
ports from the presbyteries to be pre
sented to the assembly will show that
22 presbyteries voted against the
amendment, making the three-fourths
vote in favor of the same impossible.
It will be necessarv. therefore, for
the assembly in Atlanta to consider
overtures to omit the paragraph en
tirely from the Confession of Faith.
HAWKINSVILLE ELKS VOTE
TO ABOLISH CLUB LOCKER
HAWKINSVILLE. GA Ma> 13 —
The Elks voted last night to discon
tinue their locker adjunct and after
June 15 no more liquors or beers
will be dispensed in the club rooms.
Public sentiment was averse to i
locker club and the churches looked
with displeasure upon their me mb rs
affiliating with any fraternity or club
maintaining a locker. The Elks vol
untarily voted to discontinue it.

MILITANT CHIEF,
There Will’ Be No Difficulty Ln
Raising Funds to Entertain,
Says Joseph McCord.
“Whether Atlanta gets the 1914
convention of the American Bankers’
Association depends on two things—
hotel accommodations and the guar
antee of a satisfactory entertainment
fund. The first is under considera
tion; the second is assured.”
J. I<. Ottley, vice president of the
Fourth National Bank, thus sums up
the situation. With Joseph A. Mc
Cord, vice president of the Third Na
tional Bank, Mr. Ottley delivered At
lanta’s invitation to the 1914 conven
tion when the executive council met
at Briarcliff, N. Y., last week.
“Proper accommodation of dele
gates and guests demands 2,000 hotel
rooms. Atlanta has more than this,”
said Mr. Ottley. “The question is
whether it is possible for hotel men
to co-operate in setting aside that
number of rooms. The Contention
Bureau will die * - this with no• • 1
men. when its heads return from the
Shliners’ convention.
"If the Convention Be* and tin-
hotel men make a satisfactory reply,
the information will be forwarded to
the national secretary. He tin n will
make a visit 1<> Atlanta and will look
over the situation.
“Detroit last yqar spent $40,000 en
tertaining the bankers. Boston this
' ear has underwritten $100,000 for
the same purpose. But the uestior
of raising funds in Atlanta is not
bothering us. If we can get the hotel
rooms we can get the money.”

m forms of violence. Those who
underwent punishment also were re
warded.

County Will Build
A Home for Girls
Fulton County will erect a home for
wayward girls and incorrigible wom
en, the work to begin at once and the
borne to be completed within the year.
This announcement was made
Tuesday following a conference be
tween a committee from the County
Commission and « committee from
the trustees of the Harriot Hawkes
Home. The latter agreed to deed to
the county a 50-acre tract of land on
Stewart Avenue, near Mt. Zion
Church, and a fund of approximately
$12,000 pledged for the erection of
an institution.
The agreement reached Tuesday
is the result of several conferences.

to the property and will be in com
plete control. It wall be responsible
for the home’s maintenance. As a
concession for the Harriet Hawkes
donations, the home will bear this
name. Several members of the for
mer trustees will constitute an ad
visory board for the institution.
Following Tuesday’s conference it
was announced that work would be
gin immediately. A meeting of the
Board ofi County Commissioners

Here he is again.
Just when you thought that The
Georgian’s “Man of Mystery,” with
the three ties ranging down his shirt
front, had vanished as unaccountably
as he first made his appearance, pres
to, up he bobs!
Returning, he explained that hi# ap
pearance, disappearances and reap
pearances all are for the* same pur
pope--—that of exciting your interest
and curiosity.
The picture of the "Man of Mys
tery” was published three days in
The Georgian without any explana
tion or comment. There was not even
a line to sa> whether hf % .is a for
eign nobleman or the latest suspect
in some daring crime.
After the office of The Georgian
had been deluge, with letters asking
the identity of the strange personage
came the explanation. It was simply
this:
The Georgian is about to pub
lish a great serial story. It may
be said with assurance that it
is the most interesting story At
lantans have read in years. This
picture typifies the story. The first
instalment will appear in next
Monday’s* Georgian.
What should be the title, judg
ing solely from the picture? P'ive
dollars in gold will be paid to
each of the five best literary judg
ments received.
The title has already been se
lected. It is now in a sealed en
velope in the hands of T. J. Pee
ples, cashier of the American
National Rank.
Originality, literary value and
analytical clearness will be con
sidered in awarding the prizes.
Address all answers to “Lit
erary Editor,” The Georgian, At
lanta. The contest closes Sunday
night. No answers posted after
midnight. May 18, will be con
sidered.

Decatur and Atlanta
The corporate limits of Atlanta and Decatur are
just two miles apart.
The center of Decatur is connected with the cen
ter of Atlanta by two street car lines, the Georgia
railroad and by three public roads.
East Lake Drive, through Druid Hills to Oak-
hurst, thence by DeKalb avenue to Decatur, is at
present an almost perfect automobile route from
Decatur to Atlanta.
The straight shoot from Decatur to Atlanta is
now DeKalb avenue, which eastward from Mayson
avenue is now being paved with vitrified brick.
Ponce DeLeon avenue is being rapidly extended
to the Court House at Decatur. A few months
more of good weather will see the work completed.
By street car the distance from the center of At
lanta to the center of Decatur is 30 minutes; by the
Georgia railroad the distance is about 10 minutes.
Hundreds of telephones, both Bell and Atlanta,
connect Atlanta with Decatur, and residents of De
catur have exactly the same use of these two tele
phone systems as the citizens of Atlanta.
The truth of the matter is, a resident of Decatur
on the average is just as closely in touch with the
business in Atlanta as the residents of the best res
idence sections of the city of Atlanta.
Think of these things, and find out for yourself
how much more cheaply you can build a home in
Decatur than in Atlanta.
