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.

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.
