Make the "right hand of fel

phrase, make it a helping hand.
Make religion a human, tangible,
daily-life affair—not a mass of
theology and dogmas of which 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

Presbyterian rhurch of Pittsburg.
Dr. Alexander is one of the promi

tioned as the leading candidate to
succeed Dr Mark A. Matthews as
moderator of the Northern Assembly
for days before the Presbyterians en

vision.

rhurch, will serve as chairman of tho
Thursday night meeting. J. K. Orr,

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 dlvislops of Presbyterian
ism into one great body the dream
of Presbyterians for years.
The fonimlaaioners who will meet
in Atlanta, however, have no power
to effect the union of the South
ern and the United Presbyterians,
accprding to Dr. .1. K. MrClurkln, of
Pittsburg, Pa . chairman of the com
mittee on union.
"The commissioners to the two as
semblies," said Dr. Mcf’lurkin today,
"can only indorse the proposed union.
While It lu possible that the union
will, in time, be effected, it can not
be done at the Atlanta meeting, and
cun not possibly be done in less than
a year
The
•ommissloncrs who are here
now mast indorse the movement, and
then It must go to all the presbyteries
In the United States affiliating with
either of the divisions of the church
for discussion and consideration. The
commissioners to the next gathering
probably will be instructed by their
presbyteries how lo vote on the prop
osition.
The first meeting of the United
Presbyterians was held Wednesday
night at 8 o'clock, at the Central
Presbyterian Church. Dr. H. H. Bell,
of San Francisco, moderator of the
United Presbyteriank, preached the
opening sermon, and the remainder
of the evening session was devoted to
the organization of the assembly, the
receiving of commissioners, election
of a moderator and routine business.
Thursday morning the United Pres- j
byterians got down to active busi
ness. Several Important committee
reports and the naming of the assem
bly committees were scheduled fir
the Thursday sessions.

Sermon Opens Assembly
Of Southern Presbyterians
By MAMIE BAY8.
The fifty-third General Assembly

United States familiarly known as
the Southern Presbyterian Church,
opened this morning at 11 o’clock In
North Avenue Presbyterian Church.
Rev. T. S. Clyee, D. D., of Sher
man. Texas, retiring moderator,
preached the sermon, which marked
the opening of the Assembly. The
text 'upon which the sermon was
based wa? "I shall be satisfied when
I awake with Thy likeness." Psalm
xvil: 16.
Dr. Clyce dealt first with the mis
taken ideals of many men as the
source of happiness and showed how

"We have a membership in the
church of about 1,700. We have an

proud of the rapid growth our church

thing as enduring as Its own immor

capacity for happiness.
“God alone Is the soul’s infinite
necessity and Its eternal satisfaction.

The report takes up the work in the
mountains in detail. During the past
year, because of the failing health of
the Rev. E. O. Guerrant, this work

Hudson. Forty-two mountain schools
and missions have been maintained,
with 129 teachers and 3,250 pupils.
The church owns mountain property
