Chicago Pastbr Wants Great
Truths Interpreted as Presby
terian Members See Them.
CAN THIS MAN SOLVE
PHAGAN MYSTERY?
Declaring; that the pronouncements
of the Federal Council of the Churches
in America do not accurately repre-
'ent the attitude of the Presbyterian;
Church, the Rev* W. S. Plumer
Bryan, a commissioner from the
Presbytery of Chicago, to-day laid
before the delegates an outline for a
■‘declaration of faith" which will prop
erly interpret the great truths as
members of this denomination see
them.
Dr. Bryan looked upon the gather
ing of the . three assemblies in Atlanta
as a rare opportunity for the Pres
byterians of the 'country to place
themselves on record in the matter.
“Such a declaration will clear the
air of much of the mist that is float
ing now.'.’ he said. "It will bring
our churches closer together. It will
call forth a response from churches
which are not PresDyterlan. It will
set us right before the Christian
world.”
Sets Forth Great Pledges.
Dr. Bryan suggested that the as
semblies pledge themselves to such
great truths as:
That man does not live by bread
alone, but bv the word of God, which
liveth and abideth forever, and which
is infallibly, revealed in the Scrip
tures: \ ' ■ ,
That man's greatest need is to know
God and to be at one with Him
through His Son, Jesus Christ;
Thatpman has bitined and come
short of the glory of God, and is sub
ject to eternal death;
That man can be recovered from
pin and death only by the love of God.
unmerited, sovereign and manifested
in the Sacrifice on the Cross;
That' man's ‘ first ktep toward a
better life is the resolve, I will arise
and go to my Father, and will say un
to Him, Father, I have sinned against
Thee>
That man's new life begins with
the forgiveness of his sins - through
the sprinkling of the blood of Jerws,
and the renewal of his nature by
the Holy Spirit, which new life man
ifests itself in a marked change in his
outward conduct;
That truth is in order to godliness.
1 and that godliness is profitable tn
all things? halVirfg ’ prottribe of- the
life that now is, and of that which is
to come, producing not onlv pietv
and devotion toward God, but kind
liness and sympathy toward men,
honesty and purity, courage and en
durance, industry and invention:
Lauds Good Men for Charity.
That the charitable, philanthropic
I and progressive movements of the
•day owe their beginnings and their
growth chiefly to those men and wo
men who fear God, and keep His com
mandments, whose God is the God
of their whole life;
That, beyond the civic and the so
cial, lies the eternal and the heaven
ly, as the true goal of the human
spirit and that our noblest duty is
to look and to labor tor that city
w hich bstth foundations, \) hose Build
er and' Matter ,1s Go<jt !*
That these and like truths, com
mitted of God to the keeping of His
Church, are so potent for human
good that Christian m<jn, both imv
vidually and collectively, must, at all
costs, maintain and . proclaim them,
and apply them to the present needs
of men, lest, in the great day. they
be found unfaithful stewards of the
mysteries of God. and be themselves
cast out of the Kingdom;
That Christian . fellowship and co
operation thrives, upon and is nour
ished by these ami like truths, and
that any religious fellowship which
requires the denial or the avoidance
or even the dilution of these truths
is delusive and dangerous.

Poor Old Dad Given
Recognition at Last
CHICAGO, May 17.—Dr. James
Russetl I’rtCi 'of 'iTtcago, told the
Illinois Electric Medical Society Cp n ‘ij«|ta^
vention that the father is just as
portant in fhe evolution of the wel
fare of the race as the mother.
"I am not saying anything here
regarding the mother’s influence,”'
said Dr. Price. “Mother’s office has
A been magnified out of all proportion.
I will bestow my admiration on the
madonnas at all times and in all
places.
“But many years of experience as
a public, school teacher und physi
cian have convinced me beyond the
v shadow of a doubt of the truth of the

Bryan Is Scored by
British Newspaper
LONDON, May 17.—The Standard,
in commenting on .the forthcoming
cruise of the American fleet to the
Mediterranean, says:
“It is a very forcible hint to Eu-
mpe that American diplomacy can
assert itself if it pleases with the
only kind of backing our modern
diplomatists really recognise.
“It is also a curioris commentary of
that effusive patronage and universal
peace idea Secretary of State Bryan
has been exhibiting.”
“BEWARE OF SLIM MEN;
THEY’RE CRANKS,” SHE SAYS
BOSTON, May 17.—“Beware of glim
men, for they’re cranky ninety-nine
times out of every hundred,” is the
warning* £iren'by Mrs. Blanche Mae
Chandler of Revere, the, professional
nurse who yesterday said that earn
ing one's own living was a far easier
task than being a wife. Mrs. Chand
ler is being sued for divorce.
"Never marry.’ -LsItp said, “fintil you
4ore certain thal the man you* intend
y Whoosing has perfect poise, both men-
f- ;allv und physically. Stout women
| shouid never marry slim men.
“No higher name pan be given to
the minister of the gospel than com
mon labbrer.’\ declared Dr. John A.
Henderson, of Sugar Creek, Ohio, in
the annual memorial address before
the United Presbyterian Assembly.
“The ministry is a laborer’s serv
ice,” Dr. Henderson continued, "and
there is no doubt that the preacher is
a common laborer, because he works
in the interest of common humanity.
His work has for its object the relief
of ev_ory man, and of every man alike,
k “Christ was the first common la-
but He was a specialist and
labored in meeting the common ne
cessities of common humanity. Christ
made hfs labor the raising of com
mon humanity to rank with Him and
sit at His right hand in Heaven.”
Labor Is Essential.
Dr. Henderson declared that the
work of salvation can be done only
by God. but that the relation of the
minister to work is worthy of em
phasizing.
“No human soul can be born into
the world without aid.” he said, "and
no human soul was ever born into
the Kingdom of Heaven without the
co-operation of others. Labor goes
before birth. No one knows the joy
of seeing a soul born into heaven
who knows nothing of labor pains.
The whole career of a minister is a
career of labor. He suffers labor
pains, but he. forgets them in the joy
of seeing new souls born into heaven.
Men Always Needed.
"The service ol' the ministry in
volves relays of consecrated men.
‘Men may come and men may go, but
the work goes on forever,’ ” he para
phrased. "The work of the churches
is to see that the ranks of the pro
cession are filled, and that conse
crated men are forthcoming to take
the places of those who drop out of
the procession. In this respect the
church is not now doing its duty. Not
more than half as many entered the
ministry through our schools and
seminaries as died during the past
year.”
Dr. Henderson eulogized the 32
United Presbyterian ministers who
died during the i>ast year. "The best
monument we can build above their
graves,” he declared, “is the persis
tent. untiring, unrelenting application
tof every energy to the task in hand
—that of saving men for Christ.”
The memorial services were in
charge of Dr. J. R. Work, and com
prised the only business of the Friday
afternoon session of the assembly. At
the cldfee of the services the commis
sioners attended the joint communion
services at the Baptist Tabernacle in
a bodV-
Declaring that the man who hus
tles for the money to obtain his edu
cation is better prepared to preach
than the man who is given aid, the
annual report Qf the Board of Edu
cation of the .United Presbyterian
Church emphasizes the fact that the
practice of aiding young men In their
college work has practically been
abandoned.
The wording of the paragraph re
lating to the aiding of young men in
obtaining an education reads:
“One of the duties of the board,
under its charter, is to assist pious
young men in their literary and theo
logical preparation for the ministry.
The practice of aiding young men in
their literary education has been'
practically abandoned. The large
percentage of those aided not enter
ing the ministry has discouraged the
practice. Also the board has held
the idea that the man is better pre
pared to preach, who. in hustling to
obtain funds necessary for his edu
cation, gains first-hand Information
concerning the laboring man’s prob
lems, and also that invaluable ex
perience of competing and working
among men as a layman.”
The following recommendations are
embodied in the report of the Board
of Education:
1. That the second Sabbath of
February, 1914, and the Wednesday
preceding the second Sabbath be ob
served as days of prayer in all our
colleges, seminaries and congrega
tions.
2. That the Assembly designate the
offerings of the Sabbath schools for
the month of February to the Board
of Education.
3. That changes be made in the
rules governing the granting of loans
to medical mission students.
4. That the membership of the
Board of Education be Increased from
nine to twelve members and that the
board be authorized to elect consul
tive members as they may deem wise.
5. That the plan of college visita
tion be broadened in its scope so as
to arrange for at least a week’s evan
gelistic effort each year in each of
our colleges.
6. That the assembly authorise the
Board of Education to so enlarge the
scope of its chaPtfer asVto enable K
to receive, hold and administer en
dowment funds.
THAT REIGN DF
pecial Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 17.—Following their
orgy of bomb planting yesterday when
fifteen infernal machines, some dead
ly and some harmless, were scattered
throughout England by militant suf
fragettes. the arson squad took up the
torch again to-day.
A new residence at C’ambridge
which had just been built and was
as yet untenanted, was burned by
women, the loss being estimated at
$10,000.
Suffrage literature was scattered
around the ruins. An envelope ad
dressed to “the Dishonorable Premier
Asquith and the People of England”
said:
“It is the duty of the militant suf
fragettes to warn the people that out
rages more serious than those gone
before are in store for the public of
ficials unless the justice of our de
mand for the ballot is recognized.”
King George is reported to have
called Premier Asquith, Home Secre
tary McKenna and First Lord of the
Admiralty Winston Churchill into
conference, and “commanded” that
steps be taken, no matter how dras
tic, to end the reign of terror which
pervades England.
The King has strong feelings on
the suffrage question and he deplores
the wave of violence which h,a.s swept
the country at intervals for the past
two years.
The Foreign Office is said to have
sent a formal detailed demand to the
French Foreign Office in Paris for the
extradition of Cristobal Pankhurst.
Her Paris home has been the rendez
vous of suffragette fugitives from
justice and at intervals officials of
the Women’s Social and Political
Union visited her there.

Important Events From All
Over the Old World Told in a
Few Short Linea.
Threatened to Get
Another Witness.
"While in New York this week on
a business trip.” said a well-known
Atlanta man. "1 ran across an inci
dent that was rather amusing.
"A man who was apparently a
lawyer was talking earnestly with a
man at his side in an elevator in a
downtown building in which there
are many law offices. I heard the
lawyer say:
"'Remember, court opens at K>:30
o’clock. I want you to be in my otflce
at 9 o’clock, and if you are not there
I’ll get another witness.’”
The Requisites
Of a Song Hit.
"Fortunes in song writing.” says
an advertisement now appearing in
magazines throughout the country,
and many are lured by it. But those
who have tried know the disappoint
ments of the song writer striving to
induce a publisher to look at his
work. P'or those who would try here
is a tip from one who has made good:
“If your song is to make a hit. the
air must be hard to remember, though
catchy and pleasing. If it can be
whistled by anyone who hears it
once or twice, it will not sell, and the
publisher will reject It.”
His Excuse Was
An Excellent One.
“I was visiting a friend in New
York not long ago,” said a promi
nent real estate man, "and he took
me around a good deal. He is a
lawyer and frequently we visited the
courts together.
"One day a man who had been
summoned for jury duty in the Su
preme Court went up to the clerk
before the names of the talesmen
were called and told why he thought
he ought to be excused When the
Judge mounted the bench the clerk
said:
“ ‘Your Honor. Mr. doesn’t
think he ought to do Jury duty on
account of his business.'
"‘What’s his business?’ asked the
court, gruffly.
" 'He’s a faro bank dealer,’ said
the clerk.
" Excused,’ said the court.”

Billion for Balkans.
VIENNA. May 17.—Austrian finan
cial experts estimate that the Balkan
States will have to borrow more than
$1,000,000,000. Such an aggregate )f
loans has never before been launoh»d
on the world's money market, and
unless American hanks participate
is uncertain where the sum can ..e
obtained. The powers now require
most of their surplus money for the;r
own possessions.
German Air To Be Guarded.
BERLIN, May 17.—The War Min

U. S, Diplomats Join
Hunt for Navy Plans
WASHINGTON, May 17.—Every
diplomat in the service of the United
States has been asked to use the
secret agencies at their command to
find the two sets of plans that dis
closed the methods of firing broad
side the twelve-inch guns of the
Dreadnought Pennsylvania.
One theory is that some employee
of the government, tempted by the
price offered, stole the plans and de
livered them or a copy to the repre
sentative of the government inter
ested. The secret service of the de
partment of justice is making every
effort to trace the plans and catch
the thieves.
Church men and labor men will
turn out in force tonight to hear a
discussion of social service and labor
questions at the Auditorium. This Is
the annual meeting on social service,
usually conducted during the sessions
of the Northern Presbyterian General
Assembly, and this year it will be
held under the auspices of the com
bined assemblies.
The Rev. Charles Stelzel, of New
York, Superintendent of the Bureau
of Social Service of the Northern As
sembly, will preside and speak on
"The Church and Soda* Unrest." Dr.
James A. Macdonald, editor of the
Toronto Globe, will discuss "The Re
lation of the Christian Church to the
Social and Industrial World," and
Marion M. Jackson will tell how At
lanta cleaned up its red light district.
Negro melodies will be sung by 3<>0
girls from # Spelln^an Seminary
This promises to be one of the' moFt
unique occasions of the Assembly
meetings. Last year, when the
Northern Assembly met in Louisville,
the social service meeting was at
tended by 12,000 persons, and during
a previous assembly in Kansas City
15,000 people were present. This was
the largest meeting ever held in the
history of the Presbyterian Church.
Organized Labor in Atlanta has been
heartily co-operating in working up
the meeting to be held to-night, and
many of the locals have appointed
vice-presidents to sit upon the plat
form.
This meeting will be of peculiar ip-
terest because "social service” is one
of the subjects concerning which
there is considerable difference of
opion among the commissioners at
tending the three assemblies. It is
expected that the speakers will pre
sent the subject in a characteristic
manner, handling it “without gloves.”
