Or. Maitland Alexander, of Pitts
burg, Makes Religion a
Daily-Life Affair,
Make th* church take the plate
of the dance halls and other ques
tionable places of amusement.
Make the church a seven-day-
a-week institution
Make the church supply* some
of the needs In the hare live® of
the working girl and the working
man.
Make the "right hand of fel
lowship" mote than a sounding
phrase; make it a helping hand.
Make religion a human, tangible,
daily-life affair—not a mass of
theology and dogmas of w hich one
may think only on Sundays, if at ,
all.
These are some of the precepts fol
lowed by Rev. Dr. Maitland Alexan
der in building up one of the fore
most and most successful institution
al churches In America, the First
Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg.
Dr. Alexander is one of the promi
nent figures at the Presbyterian As
sembly in Atlanta. He had been men
tioned as the leading candidate io]
succeed Dr Mark A. Matthew® as
moderator of the Northern Assembly j
for days before the Presbyterians en
tered Atlanta. H<* represents the con
servative element in the doctrinal di
vision
What He Has Accomplished.
And here are some of the things
that he has accomplished ift ni®
church:
Organized clubs In the church
of between 500 and 600 depart
ment store girls.
Gathered more than 400 of
Pittsburg's laborers every Sun
day at his weekly workingmen's
meetings. »
Organized 350 of the working
married women into sewing and
social clubs
Established n nursery with
trained nurses In attendance to
take care of the children while
the mothers have a chance for a
few -minute® rest and recreation.
Founded an industrial school in
connection with the church and
has more than 400 children en
rolled.
organized classes in millinery,
dressmaking and domestic science
for the girls and industrial classes
for the boys.
Opened the church between 11
o'clock and 2 o'clock every day
during which time the girls from
the department store® and fac
tories may flock in there for their
rest hour and to eat their noon
luncheons.
Installed reading rooms for tin-
working girl® and young men.
Taken care that a religious ele
ment Is co-ordinated with each
and all of the human service ac
tivities
"I believe that the church not only
should preac h th- gospel of helping
one's fellow man. but that it should
set the example befon- the world by
going out into the highways and b> -
ways and lending assistance and sym
pathy wherever possible," said Dr
Alexander
Devctes All His Time.
He wa® asked how much time he
naii been compelled to devote to his
work to bring these things to pass
ir his Pittsburg church.

Hope of Union of Three
Seen in Joint Assembly
It is considered probable that the
feeling of good fellowship engendered
by the Atlanta meeting will ultimate
ly result in the uniting of all the fac
tions and divisions of Presbyterian
ism into one great body the dream
of Presbyterians for years.
The commissioners who will meet
in Atlanta, however, have no. power
to effect the union of the South
ern and the United Presbyterians,
arrording to Dr. .1. K McClurkin, of
Pittsburg. Pa., chairman of the com
mittee on union.
"The commissioners to the two as
semblies." said Dr. McClurkin today,
"can only indorse the proposed union.
While il is possible that the union
will. In time, be effected, it can not
be done at the Atlanta meeting, and
ran not possibly he done in less than
a year.
The commissioners who are here
now must indorse the movement, and
then h must go to all the presbyteries
in the United State® affiliating with
either of the divisions of the church
for discussion and consideration. The
commissioners io the next gathering i
probably will he instructed by their
presbyteries how to vote on the prop
osition.
The first meeting of the United*
Presbyterians was held Wednesday
night at 8 o'clock, at the <’entr.il
Presbyterian Church. Dr. H. H. Bell,
of San Francisco, moderator of the
United Presbyterians, proached the
opening sermon, and the remainder
of the evening session was devoted »o
the organization of the assembly, the
receiving of commissioners, election
of a moderator and routine business.
Thursday morning the United Pres
byterians got down to active busi
ness. Several important committee
reports and the naming of the assem
bly committees were scheduled tor
the Thursday sessions.
Sermon Opens Assembly
Of Southern Presbyterians
By MAMIE BAYS.
The fifty-third General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church In the
United States, familiarly known as
the Southern Presbyterian Church,
opened this morning at II o’clock in
North Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Rev. T. S. Clyce, D. D., of Sher
man. Texas. retiring moderator,
preached the sermon, which marked
tiie opening of the Assembly. The
texl upon which the sermon was
based was "1 shall be satisfied when
J awake with Thy likeness." Psalm
xvil; 1 5.
Dr. Clvce dealt first with the mis
taken ideals of many men as the
source of happiness and showed how
Impossible it is for things sensual
and purely temporary to bring happl-

"The soul must have some founda

capacity for happiness.

nia> work hard and long to draw up
riches, pleasures and joys from the
deep and dark sea of life; but it will
be a night of failure and disappoint
ment until they see Jesus revealed in
heavenly light on the shore.
"The folly of the ages is an immor
tal soul in the search for happiness
rushing madly beyond Christ. What
supreme folly when the church of
Jesus Christ preaches another gos
pel or offers another remedy for th** r
fearful restlessness of the sinner.
"There if nothing for the race this

soul's infinite necessity, the soul’s I

"And every soul Is restless and must I
forever remain restless until it rests ,
In Him. I shall be satisfied when
awake with Thy likeness.' "

Executive Committee of Southern j
Assembly Declares Growth of I
Work Calls for Big Increase.
A request that $440,000 he appro
priated for home mission vvofk dur
ing the coming year is contained in
the annual report of the. executive
committee on home missions *of the
Southern Assembly, made public
Thursday. The report placets the.
amount expended last year at $151,-
790.61, and declares • the grow th of
the work necessitate® the'increase. N
Particular- attention is paid by the
report to the work In the Southern
mountains. Tn prisons and anfong the
negroes and alien races.
The prison work is a new depart
ment, in charge of George Crabtree,
prison evangelist. A number of mis
sions have be*en established in
Southern prisons.
The report takes up the work In the
mountains in detail. During the past
year, because of the failing health of
the Rev. K. O. Guerrant, this work
has been in change of the Rev. VV. K.
Hudson. Forty-two mountain schools
and missions have been maintained,
with 1-9 teachers and 3,250 pupils.
The church owns mountain property
valued at $414,000.
"In Arkansas, Oklahoma. Texas and
New Mexico." says the report, "the
Southern church has only 40,000 com
municants, ox one to every 200 inhab
itants. The doors o£ opportunity are
open wide in this field, and the only
need is men and money to make the
largest use of the opportunities."
The work done among the negroes
and alien races is told in the report.
Missions have been established for
Italians, Cubans, Bohemians, Hunga
rians, Russians and Germans, and
the work is meeting with success.
There are 22 churc hes in the Mexican |
Presbytery, with 1,200 communicants,
served by four American and v ix na
tive pastors.
