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.

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.

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.
