THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS FT?]DAY. MAY 1G, 1913.
ATLANTA’S VICTORIOUS SHRINERS AS THEY APPEARED ON FULL DRESS PARADE AT DALLAS
A
Dr. Robert M. Russell. modoiator,
sharply criticized the lark of effort on
the part of church members to ad- (
vance the cause of the church in Fri
day’s session of the United Presby
terian Assembly.
“How many churches are there,” he
asked, "whose activities are not the
natural activities of social and educa
tional association' How ma?i>
churches are getting more members
than could be gotten by an ordinary
Bhakespeare club?”
Dr. Russell declared the great need
is for the divine passion of belief.
"We let the sun thine on our cot
tages. hut not in our cottages,” he
said. “God lives in every man, but
every nnn does not live in God.”
The report of the Bond of Minis
terial Relief was adopted, and the
committee Instructed to change Its
rules to conform to the provisions of
g memorial presented by the Presby
tery of Philadelphia, This requests
that ministers from the Presbyterian
«’h«rch r. S. A., the Presbyterian
Church 1'. S, the Reformed Presby
terian Church, the Reformed Church
in the I’nited Slates, the Reformed
Church in America, the Associate Re
formed Church and the Presbyterian
Church in Canada be placed on the
United Presbyt< rian roles as bent -
fleiaries upon the same conditions
that govern ministers of the United
Presbyterian Church.
The further request of the Phila
delphia Presbytery that the rule re
quiring “ministers coming from other
denominations to render live years'
service before benefiting by the relief
fund" he changed to lead. Ministers
coming from denominations other
than the Presbyterian family.”
Increase Relief Work.
The committee on appropriations
wns instructed to increase the per
centage for relief work from 11-2 to
2 per cent. «►"
Rev. J. C Si miller. D. I).. of Phil
adelphia, corrc-ponding secretary of
the Board of Ministerial Relief, spoke
on the piovisions of the report, urg
ing its adoption. Dr. Scouller de
clared the Philadelphia memorial
would he presented to each of the
other two Assemblies -the Northern
and the Southern.
Walter D. Hawk, of Chicago, an
elder of the Presbyterian Clturcii,
speaking on the report of the Minis
terial Relief Board, pleaded for higher
salaries for ministers. He declared he
hoped to see the dav when ministers
will be as well paid as other profes
sional and business men. "If 1 had
the power,” he said. "I should raise
the salary of every minister now get
ting less than $1,400 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 be
paid that would not force a minister
to accept charity when hi* grows old
and his .work is done.
Samuel Ogllvle. 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 example?' of the
ggcat i orporations 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 of
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 nil the world
may know she is an object of charity.

the beneficiaries from year to year.
At the dose of the ’discussion the
matter of changing the name of the
fund and to devise a better plan for
handling it was referred to a special
committee of laymen. Moderator R113-
sell announced he would name th»
committee Friday.
Greetings to Absentees.
The committee on correspondence
was instructed to send greetings to
the following ministers who were un
able to attend the convention because
of ill health: Dr. W. S. Owens, of
Santa Barbara, Cal., former secretary
of the board of home missions; Dr.
A. G. Wallace, of Pittsburg, second
clerk of the Assembly and the
church’s oldest active member; Dr.
.lames Harper, of Xenia. Ohio, for
mer president of the Xenia Theologi
cal Seminary; Dr. .lames A. Grier,
of Pittsburg, president of the Alle
gheny Presbytery. and Dr. W G.
Moorehead, president of the Xenia
Presbytery.
The report of the general commit
tee on young people's work was pre
sented by IT ugh A. Kelsey, general
secretary, who urged that tiie various
animations co-operate with the
young people's societies.
"This is one department of the
hurch 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 that the outlook for
the coming year is very bright.
Mr Kelsey called attention to a
paragraph in his report dealing with,
a new department of work that has
been Inaugurated during the past
year. The Y. P. U. 17. has joined its
fortes with about a score of other
similar national organisations in what
is known as the "National Good Clt-
I Isenship Movement.” w ith headquar
ters in Chicago. The snecial aim of
the organisation is to force the na-
'iona! prohibition movement to the
front as rapidly as possible, but to aid
any movement that favors good clt I -
I zenship. *
| Pleads for Fellowship.
Dr. Sartell P e'ntice, representing
• the Reformed Church, presented the
• greetings of his church to the eon-
v ent ion. He pleaded fct. a feeling of I
; fellowship and co-operation to com-I
I bat the enemies of the church. He
j bairt the forces of Christ should move j
! is one army and not as isolated and!
*• < L. ii forces, though, still drawing 1
cm min.itiona! and doctrinal lines. f
Dr. Russell, moderator, following t le J
1 greetings brought b> Di Prentiss, de-
trad that the church members!
v bourn take more part in government.
"Until we have same initiative an 1 J
dum rind recall we are not gov^-
of heaven and electrocuting the devil
in our political and soc ial 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 after 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 ft year, and 2,000,000
more in foreign countries.
Asks Bible Society Be Recognized.
Dr. Fox requested the Assembly to
put the Bible Society into Its minutes,
and pleaded for a greater recogni
tion of the organization and its work.
He declared the first duty of the
church is the publishing and circulat
ing of the Bible. He told of the plan
pursued by the Methodist Church
ami declared the Presbyterians.should
adopt similar methods’.
Tlte sympathetic affiliation of the
United Presbyterians was reaffirmed
and the committee on revision was
instructed to obtain a record of w hat
the church has done to aid the Bible
Society.
Moderator Russell appointed a
committee of five to lead in the
march to communion services at the
Baptist Tabernacle at 4 o’clock. All
assemblies will attend in a body.
