Russell, moderator, sharply criticised the lack of effort on the part of church membet.s to ad vance the cause of the church in Fri day's session of the l T nited Presby terian Assembly. “How many churches are there.” he asked, “whose activities are not the natural activities of social and educa tional association? How many churches are getting more members than could be gotten by an ordinary Shakespeare club?” Dr. Russell declared the great need It for the divine passion of belief. ,r We let the sun shine on our cot tages, bw* not in our cottages,” he said. 'God lives in every man. but every man does not live in God.” The report of the Hoard of Minis terial Relief was adopted, and the committee instructed to change its rules to conform to the provisions of e memorial presented by the Presby tery of Philadelphia. This requests that ministers from the Presbyterian Ghurch TJ. S. A., the Presbyterian Ghurch U.

Hawk, of Chicago, an elder of the Presbyterian Church, speaking on the report of the Minis terial Relief Board, pleaded for higher salaries for ministers. He declared he hoped to see the day when ministers will be as .well paid as other profes sional and business men. “If I had the power/' he said, “I should raise the salary of every minister now get ting less than $ J ,4oo least $500 a year.” Mr. Hawk declared the idea of accepting charity had kept him out of the ministry, and is to-day keeping hundreds of young men out. He declared that salaries should o. J paid that would not force a minister to accept charity when he grows old and his work is done. Samuel Ogllvie, of Pittsburg, urged that the name relief fund be changed, because the word relief suggests char ity. He declared it the duty of the church to follow the examples of the great corporations and take better care of its old employees, suggesting that they be “pensioned” instead of “relieved.” Would Eliminate “Charity.” Rev. John A. Wilson. D.D., of Pitts burg, pleaded for a plan that would eliminate the idea of charity. He criticised the present methods pf handling the relief fund in the vari ous presbyteries. “Think of the humiliation that wid ows of ministers are forced to under go." he said. “The name of a widow of a minister is -brought publicly be fore the presbytery, that all the world may know she is an object of charity.

The report of the general commit tee on young people's work was pre sented by Hugh A. Kelsey. gQneral secretary, who urged that the various organizations co-operate with the young people's societies. "This is one department of the church that does not want money," he declared. "We want men. We need a great awakening among the young people of the church." Mr Kelsey declared that much progress had ben made in young peo ple’s work, and tl^at the outlook for the coming year is very bright. Mr. Kelsey called attention to t paragraph in his report dealing with a new department of work that has been inaugurated during the past year. The Y. P. C\ U. has joined its forces with about a score of other similar national organizations in what is known as the National Good Cit izenship .Movement." with headquar ters in Chicago. The special aim of the organization is to force the na tional prohibition movement to the front as rapidly as possible, but to aid any movement that favors good citi zenship. Pleads for fellowship. Dr. Sartell Prentice, representing the Reformed Church, presented the greetings of his church to the con vention. He pleaded for a feeling of fellowship and co-operation to com bat the enemies of the church. He said the forces of Christ should move is one army and no; as isolated and brokeb forces, though still drawing denominational and doctrinal lines. Dr. Russel!, moderator, following the greetings brought by Dr. Prentiss, de clared that the church members should take more part in government. Until we have some .Initiative an 1 referendum and recall we are not gove rning ourselves." he said. Dr. Russell, pleading that a more active interest be taken in govern ment. declared that the time is now ripe for connecting with the battery of heaven and electrocuting the devil in our political and social life." “The public conception of govern ment is wrong,” he said. "We do not elect a President to rule us. but to look after our public affairs. The average American does* not need a ruler, but he does need some one to look afte» public affairs." Dr. John Fox. of New York, rep resenting the American Bible Society, addressed the convention on his work. He said 2,000.000 Bibles have been is sued by the society from New York during the pa?t year, and 2.000.000 more in foreign countries. Asks Bible Society Be Recognized.
