3 THE A’J'IjAJNTA aMJKUiA^ AMD NEWS. SATURDAY. MA Y17. 191.°, 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. United Board of Education Tells Why It Quit Paying Students' College Courses. RWHD- Here is a recent photograph of William J. Burns, America’s best known detective, who will undertake to find and convict the slayer .of Mary J’hagan. 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 " «\ob' saying; 'As the father, so the 'rcttild.' • : . 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.

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.” How He Worked A New Card Game. “I was witness to a new scheme thSlt was pulled off In a restaurant In Philadelphia the other day." re marked a lawyer for one of the At lanta department stores. “1 had gone into the place to get lunch and just about the time 1 sat down a young lellow at a nearby table got up, hav ing finished his meal. "The young fellow paid his bill, and turning to tip the waiter handed that 'person not tonly a coin., but a busi ness rartl as well. This attracted other waiters, who were curious, and he slipped each a card. Even the head waiter manifested an interest This enterprising young man carried a small case in his hand and In the old days he would have been taken for a doctor. Whatever he was he was pretty well advertised before he quit that side of the dining room.' CANTON, May 16.—General Chang Wing Ming, commanding the troops in Canton, declares that he will shoot persons defaming the Government or instigating trouble. The Hongkong and Macao Chinese recommend Yuan Shih Kai for the presidency. Queen Helps Women's, Fair. AMSTERDAM, May 17.—Queen Wilhelmina's sympathy with the or ganizers of the Woman’s 1813-1913 Exposition was shown plainly to-day when she spent three hours at the exposition. She has sent to the fair a number of dresses worn by the Princess of Orange. Jap to Attend Church Meet. TOKIO, May 17.—Dr. Kodo Osaki, former president of Doschiha Univer sity in Kyoto, Congregational pastor in 'Tokio, left to-day via Siberia to attend the World’s Sunday School Convention in Zurich, Switzerland. He will return home by way of Amer ica. 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 istry to-day announced that work of preparing a bill to protect German atmosphere will be commenced at once, and that it will be introduced in the Reichstag next autumn. It will provide a penalty for any foreign aviator flying over German territory without a permit from the Govern ment. Italy Will Quit Aegean.

NEWMARKET, ENG., May 17.— The Unionists politioal party gained another member in the House of Commons to-day, Sir John Denison- Denison Pender, a Unionist, being elected here in the Parliamentary bye election. His majority was 851 over his Liberal opponent. 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.” A NOTRE DAME LADY’S APPEAL To all knowing sufferers of rheuma tism. whether muscular or of the joints, sciatica, lumbago, backache, pains in the kidneys or neuralgia pains, to write to her for a home treatment which has rer»eate<lly cured all of these tortures.
