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.

Installed reading rooms for tin- working girl® and young men.

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.

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.

"The soul must have some founda tion." lie said, "on which to build its faith—a foundation which is noi it- ! self subject to mutation, but some thing; as enduring as Its own iinmor tallty and as satisfying as its own capacity for happiness.

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. DR. CRAWFORD STUDYING WITH VIENNA SPECIALISTS Dr. J. F.
