e ► THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 16, 1910. New York Delegate Blames State for White Plague Ravages Among Seneca Tribe, Themlore L. Jlftitmori, a full-blood i Sonera Indian, here as a commission* or to the Presbyterian Assembly, U. 8 A., declares that his tribe in Catte- rfiugus, New York, is slowly but sure ly dying out, victims of the “great white plague.” He places the bla both on the State of Now York and the Indians themselves. 'The State,” said Jimerdon to t (Georgian reporter Friday morning, ' “pays for our schools and has set apart a reservation for the remains of my once proud tribe It may be that I am ungrateful when I say it. but it does seem that New York should do more in behalf of sanita tion. “But do not misunderstand me; I really think the Indians themselves are to blame for the most part. It is a strange thing, but it is a fact never theless. that h member of my tribe will not seek medical aid until be fatally stricken. Doctors are sent to the reservation every week, but no one will ask fbr treatment unless lie is beyond all hope. “An Indian, you know, is a proud being. He will not confess a weak ness. It is only when he himself real- ♦ izes that all hope is gone that he will permit assistance. Tribe Number* 1,600. “There are now about l.6ft0 mem bers of my tribe. There has been no Increase in many years; in fact, there has been a slight decrease. But I can see it; the tribe is fast dwindling aWay, and it is only a question of a few years until they will pass out en tirely. "I guess it fs hardly any use for tilt State to make any greater effort. The Indian is doomed, anyhow His was the life of the freedman. In the open, upon the plain, with no limits set about him. The coming of American civilization was his death knell, slow but sure. While 1 would like to see sanitary measures enforced, and while it doubtless would prolong the life of the tribe, I guess there is no use.” * Ther'' was a depth of pathos in the voice of the great, big man from the North. Six feet 6 inches tall, strong and robust, he was a living contradic tion to the sentiments he voiced. Indian Presbyterian Elder. Jimerson is an elder in his church. He believes in the Gospel and he be lieves in doing all the good he ran. He declares members of his tribe are IrlSceptive and that the Presbyterian f u.hurch has done a great evangelistic work among his fellows. Although without hope for the fii- tiw, conscious of a certain doom. Jimerson yet bears an air of opti mism—not for this world, but for th* next. "Christianity,” said he. “is as good for the Indian as the white man, and there is a heaven for him just as sure ly as there is a heaven for any of earth's hosts, call it wha you will—a happy hunting ground, or a celestial city with streets paved in gold and its gates of pearl.*’ Cumberland Moderator Named by Close Vote.

J In his spectacular election to the moderatorship of the North ern Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Dr. John Timothy Stone, of Chicago, went from the com parative obscurity of the pastor ship of a great church to a world leadership in the religious sphere. Dr. Stone, while a power in his community, was unknown to hun dreds of those present at the election. No suggestion of his name for the moderatorship had ever been made. When the stam pede of approval with ivhich his nomination was accepted, when placed unexpectedly before the meeting, and swept to victory in the wildfire of excitement which followed, no one was more sur prised than Dr. Stone. Upon him centers the limelight of the groat convention tb-day,. And Dr. Stelzle, a lifelong friend, contributes below a strikingly in teresting light on his personality.. By REV. CHARLES STELZLE. John Timothy Stone—prince of the Presbyterian General Assembly! Oh, yes, he’s moderator, too, bat he's moderator largely because he was the prince. And he’s moderator in spite of his very earnest protest against being elected. It was the most dramatic thing that has happened in a General Assembly in a good many years—this election of Stone. It also was a terrific re buke of political dealing. It doesn't really matter whether the friends of the other candidates were guilty of r aying politics or not—the candi dates themselves surely had nothing to do with the business. The commissioners v had evidently become impressed with the feeling that there had been a deliberate frame-up <m somebody’s part to elect a moderator through machine meth ods. When Dr. Stone's name was sug gested. in the most unusual manner in which it. was, that settled It—there was a stampede toward big, honest John Stone that was irresistible. Four candidates had been presents! —Alexander, Palmer. McKibbin. John - stone—this was the regularly selected group whose names had been hurled back and forth for months in the White City Park Now Open newspaper and in the personal dis cussions. Everybody thought that the list had been completed, and everybody was getting ready to vote, the chances ap parently being in favor of Alexander, of Pittsburg, with Palmer, of Colum bus, a close second, it .wits thought by some that eijther McKibbin or Johnstone might prove to be a com promise candidate, although there did not appear to be great enthusiasm fdr ei titer. Then the thing happened. Dr. W. R. King, of Monmouth, Ill., whom few in the Assembly knew, and whose name was scarcely heard-as the mod erator presented him, began in a very unusual way to place a candidate in nomination. “I shall present the name of a man who does not know that he is to be nominated,” he said. Good joke, thought the commis sioners, and they laughed. "There isn't a man in the entire Assembly, excepting myself, who knows whom 1 am to nominate." King continued. This was rich. Who had ever heard of such simplicity and such faith in a Providence! Who could direct the election of a moderator without hav ing the thing set up by expert poli ticians? And the Assembly laughed some more. "This man has no claim upon' the Assembly.” Remarkable! Most of the other nominators had told why the Assem bly would be everlasting guilty of in gratitude unless it elected their can didates. “But the Assembly has claims upon him.” Then many a man began to breathe hard, because there are lots of com missioners who feel that way about themselves, and they thought that maybe the moderatorship lightning was now surely to strike them. Lauds His Candidate. “My candidate is as gentle as John, as fervidly evangelistic as Timothy—” but the reft,was lost in the tremen dous applause which followed. It was something about “Peter” and a “rock,” but the commissioners had already caught the significance of the allusion and the name of Stone was shouted all over the Assembly. Dr. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church of Chicago, will give the Presbyterian Church an administration which will make the church known the country over as big and broad and yet pro- fouflply evangelistic—to those, of cotfte, who do not already know that Chicago. Now he’s putting up a big $700,000 church in a downtown sec tion of the city, where he will work for the everyday needs ofvthe peo ple, in the midst of one of the most difficult fields in America. When Stone was called from Balti more to become the pastor of this Chi cago church he was frankly told by his friends that there was no field in this district in Chicago for the build ing up of a religious enterprise. He has amply demonstrated the fallacy of this prediction. Fourth Church is crowded at every preaching service and the unusual thing about it is that there are hundreds of people upon a “waiting list” Who are eager to be come members of the church. The group of men who are standing by Dr. Stone in this enterprise are among the finest in America. But what about the situation that this church with its enlarged oppor tunities will be compelled to deal with? Its big job will be that of Christianizing the conditions in a community which has in it every problem confronting any church in any great metropolitan district. If Fourth Church can make an impress upon the life of this community, and if it can lead the way in demonstrat ing that a thoroughly evangelistic ap peal may be coupled up with a dis tinct social message, it will perform one of the greatest services for the church at large that have yet been rendered. This, it has been deter mined, shall be done. Fourth Church field was once char- >cteristically residential. It had with in its area some of the finest resi dences and best families in Chicago. But the other night within a few Mocks of the church a murder was committed in one of the worst saloons in the city. It is said by the social workers who are familiar with the conditions that many of the worst dance halls are found in this district. These are vis ited every night by young people who live in the boarding houses and apartments near by. It Is quite ap parent that one of the most impor tant groups to which Fourth Church has to minister is found among these voting men and women. COW SET HIM ON FIRE. MIDDLETOWN. N.

Northern Church Hears Evangelistic Report. Report of the past year's evange listic work was the feature of Fri day morning’s session of the North ern Assembly at the Baptist Taber nacle. Dr. Charles L. Huston, of Coates- vllle. Pa., chairman of the commit tee on evangelism, read the report and declared the work showed a vast increase in activity and expenditures throughout the country. Last year's receipts were $12,094.42. Expenditures amounted to $10,457.86. Following devotional exercises by Dr. William McKibben, president of La fir Seminary, (’incinnati. which opened the morning session, the Rev R. M. Evans presented the new mod erator. Dr. John Timothy Stone, with a gavel sent to the meeting by the West African Presbyterian GhuiCh. Th#. gavel, of ebony and redwood, was fnade by a West African boy in the industrial school established by Dr. Evans. who has charge of the work in that district. Dr. JTvans. ex plaining the work pn the West Afri can coast, declared more than 1ft.00b natives were members of that church. The session closed with the recom mendation that Dr J. Wilbur Chap* man continue as representative at large of evangelist!*' work. This po sition, occupied by DY\ Chapman foe several terms, embraces superintend- ency of evangelistic work throughout the world. Tht* executive committee made itfe report at the afternoon session Real Fight Delayed. Postponement of the executive - ommiasion’s report on the Board of HOfTle Missions, scheduled for Friday morning, has delayed what is ex pected to be the hottest fight in the present session of the General As sembly of the Presbyterian Church U S. A. The commission asked that the subject be passed for further con sideration and preparation. Dr. John Timothy Stone. newly fleeted moderator, presided at the second day’s session at the Baptist Tabernacle. A significant appointment is the naming of Dr. Maitland Alexander chairman of the standing committee on home missions. Dr Alexander is Iwcwn to be not whrrtly in sympathy writh the present policy of the board., which Is to be the storm center of discussion when the subject is reach ed. Just what attitude Dr. Alexan der will assume is not known. He has been identified with the oppo nents of extension w'ork. f Chairmen of the various standing committees are: Bills and overtures, Mark A. Mat thews; judicial. S. S. Palmer; polity, Daniel E. Jenkins; home missions. Maitland Alexander; foreign mis sions, William R. King; educational, John Willi* Baer; publications and Sunday school work. W. H. W. Boyle; church erection, John F.

The Assembly postponed the rec ommendation opposing the dissipa tion of energies in the organization of numerous societies in connection with church work. The executive commission urged that hereafter all such movements appealing to men be under the direction of the Presbyte rian Brotherhood, and that “the men of our church be counseled to co operate with such movements, in or der that the beet interests of the church and the heartiest co-operation on the part of the men therein be conserved.” A significant report was submitted regarding the organization of the board of relief and sustenation. au thorized at the General Assembly of 1912. The board is laying plans to raise an endowment of $10,000,000. Rev. William H. Foulkes is secretary of the board; the Rev. John R. Suth erland. assistant secretary; the Rev. William W. Heberton, treasurer. Considerable merriment was creat ed by the request of the local commit tee on arrangements that the Assem bly pose for a picture in front of the Tabernacle. The vote on the ques tion was so nearly a tie that it was only when the meeting was informed the photographer was a good Pres byterian that favorable action was taken. By MAMIE BAYS. All the important questions to considered by th*- Southern Assembly will be touched Friday in the reading of the overtures, w hich, after reading, will be referred to the committee on bill* and overtures. This committee will render reports to the Assembly. It is probable that more than a ft-W overtures on the "Elect Infant Clause” ] bly, the debt having been paid, ex- hpjpressly approve the present policy of the Foreign Mission Committee of living within its income. "Wo recommend that the sum of $.'»74,5€0 for the work of the Foreign Mission committee during the pres ent financial year be approved (being 54 per cent). Horn* Mission* Encouraged.

Gosper, former Governor of Arizona and a patriot of nation-wide fame, lies dead in this city to-day. Declaring to the last that he would rather die than be an object of char ity, he died In poverty at the County Hospital yesterday. Once wealthy, he had spurned all offers of aid from friends. After the Civil War he went to Ne braska and was elected Secretary of State. Soon after his term expired. President Hayes appointed him Sec retary of State of the Territory of Arizona, and he later became Chief Executive of the Territory. Colonel Gosper came to Los An geles 20 years ago. He lost his money through unfortunate mining invest ments, and for many years lived In a furnished room. He had been mar ried twice, but was separated from his second wife Sor several years. He had no ciUldrenJl who from any cause, like imbecility or similar defects, are incapable of experiencing the outward working if the Holy Spirit. Discussion Will Be Brief. It is not expected that tiir discus sion of this clause at this Assemb’y will be as lengthy as has been the case In previous Assemblies, but it i* not to he doubted that a battle of words will take place In this connec tion which will prove of decided in terest to commissioners and visitors. Rov. J. S Lvon*, TV !>., who was on Thursday afternoon elected modera tor of tile General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church, is recognized to be o,.^ of the ablest preachers and one of the most suc cessful pastors in the Assembly. He has been pastor of the First Presbyterian Church at Louisville, Kv., for 2ft years and his successful efforts in evangelistic work and in the organization of the men of his church for Christian service under the name of the "Yoke Fellows’ Band.” of which he is the founder, have brought him into special prom inence in tlm past several years. Rev. Brooks I. Dickey, of San An tonio. Texas, is the temporary clerk of this Assembly, and Rev. Julian S. Sibley. D. D.. of Ijoulsvllle. Ky., is leading clerks. Both of these were elected by a o'* IkmMion Benefit Report Interests. The presentation to the General A. - pembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church of the third annual report of the permanent committee on Syste matic Beneficence attracted great in terest. especially important in view of the f*rt that much of the financial program of the church is involved in tVH« report. The report was presented by the Rev. R. O. Fllnn, 1*. D.. secretary of the committee, and referred to Lie •landing committee on Systematic Beneficence. Among the many im portant recommendations included are the following; "Recognizing that the financial plans of the Assembly are not in- eofripatiblc with what is known as the “Forward Movement,” namrlj the assumption by separate churches societies and individuals of definite responsibility for a definite part of the foreign mission work, we recom mend that thf* Assembly reaffirm it* indorsement of said movement and fommend it afresh to individuals, societies and congregation* of our church. Contributions Not Cut. “In order to remove an erroneous impression on the subject, we recom mend that the General Assembly de clare that its new financial plan neith er necessitates nor contemplates the reduction of contributions heretofore made by societies, churches or in dividuals to any cause, but rather the enlistment in behalf of the other causes of our people’s heretofore un used means and energies. "The Foreign Mission Committee having, as* a result of investigation into actual cost, fixed $1,200 as the amount necessary to be raised for the annual support of each mission ary sent out, in addition to the ex pense of travel and equipment, we recommend that those supporting missionaries be urged by the Assem bly as .«oon as possible to come uo this standard. "We recommend that the Assem- part reaches the Assembly’s committee, we would recall the Assembly’s plan, I which provides that synods and pres byteries snail add the amounts need- ! ed for their local work to the Assem bly's apportionments and make ap portionments to the churches within their hounds on such basis "From » nnimunicetions received It appears that the work of the execu tive committee is seriously handi capped both in administration and funds by the division of our work into Assembly, synodical and local depart ments. Wlfile the combination of these departments would be difficult to effect and might result in tempo rary distress to some interest* in volved. many seem to feel it would contribute greatly to economy and efficiency if all our home mission work bould be brought under the di rection of the executive committee, and »aid committee charged with initiation and given larger powers in the prosecution of Its wtirk. Urge Unified Campaign. "We recommend, therefore, that this matter be referred to such com mittee as the Assembly may deem proper, which shall consider whether some plan can not be devised for ar ticulating and unifying all our home mission work. “We recommend that the church be asked to raise $287,240 during the next year for the work of this committee as outlined in its annual report (be ing 27 per cent). "In response to the repeated re quests that the first Sunday in Octo ber be again adopted as Sunday School Rally Day, we recommend that the request be granted. "That $37,240 be appropriated for the work of this committee (being 3 1-2 per cent). The executive committee of Ghrls- tisn Education and Ministerial Re lief; "We recommend that the sum of $164,280 be raised for Uhiistian edu cation and ministerial relief (being 14 1-2 per cent) "We record our high estimate of the great value as an educational agency of the Pre^byterial Gonfer- ences held 1n connection with the campaign for evangelism and stew ardship, and would suggest that the campaign committee consider the ad visability of continuing these con ferences. Ask Aid for Conferences. "We commend the hearty co-oper ation of the executive committees in these conferences as evidenced In their assignment of a part of their secretarial force to this work. "We recommend that the campaign committee on evangelism and stew ardship be continued for another year; that the plan to raise $500,000 for equipment and $500,000 for rein forcement be approved and adopted; that the every member canvass in March, 1914. be held and Us promo tion and conduct be referred to this committee with pow*er; that the dis tribution of funds to be subscribed for equipment and reinforcement be according to the scheme and submit ted in the report of this committee.” The morning session of the Assem bly to-day began with devotional service conducted by the Rev. T. M Lowery, of Memphis. The Rev. J. D. Lyons, D. D.. mod erator, then took the chair. After th* minutes of the sessions of Thurs day had been read and approved tho reception of various communications was announced. Among these was a messag3 of greeting from the ninety- first convention of the Episcopal Church of the Diocese of Georgia, and it was referred to the commit tee on foreign correspondence. The Moderator announced the standing committees for the Assem ble The first hint at animated discus sion ensued this morning In connec tion with the question of the source to which communications regarding the relation of the Southern Presby terian Church to other churches. Discussion Precipitated Early. This was precipitated w'hen Rev. R. C. Reed, D. D., made a motion that a special committee be appointed to whicn s»bal1 be referred all com munications relative to this matter. An amendment to this motion was offered and was accepted by Dr. Reed that the special committee be com posed of members of every Synod In the A^embly. A subetitute was offered to th* ef fect that all communications of this nature be referred to the standing committee on foreign correspondence and the substitute prevailed. A special committee. wMth Rev. G. B. Btrickler, D.D.. as chairman, was appointed to convey fraternal greet ings of this Assembly to the Assem blies of other churches now In ses sion. Cleland for Prison Reform. Judge Cleland a members of the General Assembly of the United Pres byterian Church, addressed the As sembly in the interest of prison re form. Th* moderator announced that all members of the Assembly would have access to the meetings of all tho committees and that no “star cham ber” proceedings will mark the meet ings of the committees. Overtures Passed By. The overtures relative to th* brW statement of th* belief of the church w*re referred, on motion, to a spe cial committee. Rev. E. V. Moore, D D.. a com missioner of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church U. S. A., and who was appointed by that As sembly to bear fraternal greeting* to this Assembly, was presented ftnd ad dressed the Assembly. The special order for 11 o’clock was the consideration of the report of the ad interim committee on “A brief popular statement of the belief of the Presbyterian Church in the United States.” “Belief” Considered Tuesday. The privilege of the floor was granted to Rev. James I. Vance. D. D, h member of the committee that pre pared the report, but not a member of this Assembly. Dr. Vance sub mitted the report of the committee and the consideration of the same will take place on Tuesday morning. It is safe to say the consHderation of this report will result in one of the most spirited and Interesting discussions to take place on the floor of this As sembly. The report of the treasurer of the Assembly was submitted. Committee on Merger. The moderator announced the com mittee to which shall be referred all overtures relating to organic* union of the churches. This committee con sists of the following named com missioners; Dr. J. 8.
