officials of the State, War and Navy
Departments that the time is drawing
near when our State Department will
have to give a direct, positive and
conclusive answer to Japan.
The newspaper men, almost as a
<unit, have propounded the question!
When? to the Secretary of State. Mr.
Bryan is impassive. He admitted
that so long as the bill was no# signed
the present situation could for some
time be practically maintained.
The State Department indicates
that there has been no change in
the attitude of Japan since Mr. Bryan
returned from Sacramento and Baron
"'hlnda filed his earnest protest. It is
/eared that Japan will now reject any
compromise that does not carry with
it the recognition of equality of citi
zenship between Japanese and Amer
icans.

Four Great Presbyterian Branches
Reject Movement Because
Time Is Not Ripe.
All doubt was dispelled as to the
possibility of union this year of the
four great branches of the Presbyte
rian Church when their lepreSenta-
tives for the first time in the history |
of the world gathered in a monster I
mass meeting at the Auditorium
Thursday night.
Speculation, rife as to the combi
nation of the four great bodies since
the opening of the meetings, was |
quickly turned into realization. The
verdict was: No organic union will (
be consummated at this time.
The vast audience fairly bristled
with stand-patters, those who could
never part with their own doctrinal
beliefs. And yet, even at this his
toric assembly there was Indicated
far out on the horizon of future ac
tivity the union which now is im
possible.
At present the unanimous desire is
for union of spirit and the chief
topics taken by the many speakers
at the meeting was this.
Throughout the addresses the
building rang with praise as world -
famous Presbyterians took the pul
pit for short addresses. Intermit
tently hymns were sung by the
thousands present.
Atlanta Pastor Presides.

tion, after which Dr. G. A. Beattie, of
Atlanta, presented the famous gavel
made from the wood of four of the
oldest Presbyterian theological sem
inaries to the Assembly.
“In case there is ever a union be
tween the four churches, this gavel
will be prophetic,” said Dr. Beattie
in presenting it.
J. K. Orr. welcoming the Presby
terians in the name of Atlanta, said:
“While some of you haven’t been
down here since the war, still, now
that you are, we welcome you. We
are glad to know that the prodigal
has returned.” .
A strong plea for a national Chris
tian movement was made by Dr. T. S.
Clyce retired moderator of the
Southern Assembly. Dr. Clyce urged
that the great Presbyterian Church
be the force behind such a project.
"We should have greater power for
religion in the natipnal life of the
world,” declared Dr. Clyce. ”Our na
tion should wield a moral force for
good over the globe. It remains for
those who believe that God controls
the nation to save America and the
world.”
Organic union was the subject
taken by Dr. Hugh H. Bell, of San
Francisco, retired moderator of the
United Presbyterians. Dr. Bell’s ad
dress was a strong argument in favor
of such a combination.
“We are not disagreed on the deity
of Christ,” said Dr, Bell. "We are
not disagreed upon the importance of
missions. We must not crucify a
Christ because of our doctrinal dif
ferences."
Future Union Predicted.
Following on the heels of Dr. Bell's
address came that of Dr. Mark A,
Matthews, retired moderator of the
Northern Assembly, which prognosti
cated with emphasis an organic union
in the near future.
Immense enthusiasm greeted James
MacDonald, of The Toronto Globe,
when he arose to speak. Mr. Mac
Donald spoke on the international as
pect of the church.
