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 al churches in America, the First Presbyterian rhurch of Pittsburg. Dr. Alexander is one of the promi nent figures at the Presbyterian As sembly 1n Atilanta. He had been men tioned as the leading candidate to succeed Dr Mark A.

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.
