THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS
ATLANTA’S VICTORIOUS SHRINERS AS THEY APPEARED ON FULL DRESS PARADE AT DALLAS
Head of United Branch
Scores Church Apathy
I)r. Robert M. Russel), moderator,
shapply i-rltlciaed the lark of effort on
the part of church member* to ad
vance the cause of the church in Fri
day’s session of the t’nited Presby
terian Assembly.
How many churches are there," he
asked, "whose activities are not the
natural activities of social and educa
tional association ’ How nianv
churches are petting more members
than could be gotten by an ordinary
Shakespeare clubV" .
Dr. Russell declared the
Is for the divine passion o
"We let the sun shine on our cot
tages. but not in our cottages," he
said. "God lives in every man, but
every man does not live in God."
The report of the Hoard of Minis
terial Relief was adopted, and the
committee instructed to change Its
rules to conform to the provisions of
a memorial presented by the Presby
tery of Philadelphia. This requests
that ministers from the Presbyterian
Church U. S. A tin* Presbyterian
Church IT. S., the Reformed Presby
terian Church, the Reformed Church
in the United States, the Reformed
Church in America, the Associate Re
formed Church and the Presbyterian
Church in Canada be placed on the
United Presbyterian roles as bene
ficiaries 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 five years’
service before benefiting by the relief
fund" be changed to read. "Ministers
coming from denominations other
than the Presbyterian family
Increase Relief Work.
The committee on appropriations
was Instructed to Increase the per
rentage for relief work from l 1-2 to
2 per cent.
Rev. 1. C. Scouller, D. D., of Phil
adelphia, corresponding secretary <►/
the Hoard of Ministerial Relief, spoke
on the piovislons 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 Houthern.
Walter D. Hawk, of Chicago, an
elder of the Presbyterian Church,
speaking on the report of the Minis
terial Relief Hoard, pleaded for higher!
salaries for ministers. He declared he i
hoped to see the day when n misters
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 $.>00 a
year" Mr. Hawk declared the Ideal
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 charily when he grows old
and his work is done
Samuel Ogilvie, of Pittsburg, urged
that the name relief fund be change;!,
because the word relief suggests char
ity. He declared It the duty of the
church to follow the examples of the
great corporations and take belt r
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 all the world
may know she is an object of charity.

ed to enable the moderator to certify
the beneficiaries from year to year.
At the close 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 Rus
sell announced he would name th-3
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. (J. 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. James A. Grier,
of Pittsburg, president of tbe 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 Hugh A. Kelsey, general
secretary, who urged that tiie various
organizations co-operate with the
young people's societies.
“This is one depart/nent of the
church 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-.
pie's work, and that the outlook for
the coming year is very bright.
Mr. Kelsey called attention to i
paragraph in his report dealing with
a new department of work that has
been inaugurated during the past
year. The Y. P. C. U. has Joined its
forces with about a score of oth-r
similar national organisations in what
is known as the "National Good Cit
izenship Movement.” with headquar
ters in Chicago. The special aim of
the organisation is to force the na
tional prohibition movement to the
front as rapidly as possible, but to aid
any movement that favors good citi
zenship.
Pleads for Fellowship.
Dr. Sartell Prentice, representing
the Reformed Church, presented the
greetings of his church to the con
vention. He pleaded for a feeling of
fellowship and co-operation to com
bat the enemies of the church. He
said tlie forces of Christ should move
as one army and not as isolated and
broken forces, though still drawing
denominational and doctrinal lines.
Dr. Russell, moderator, following the
greetings brought by Dr. Prentiss, de
clared that tbe church members
should take more part in government.
Until we have some initiative an 1
referendum and recall we are not gov
erning ourselves.” he said.
Dr Russell, pleading that a more
■ ctivr interest be taken in govern
ment. declared that tbe time is now
"ripe for connecting with the battery
of heaven and electrocuting the devil
in our political and social life."
"The public conception of govern
ment is wroifg,” he said. “We do
not elect a President to rule us, hut
to look after our public affairs. The
average American does pot 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 pas* 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 Ulrurch.
and declared the Presbyterians should
adopt similar method*'.
The sympathetic affiliation of the
United Presbyterians was reaffirmed
and the committee on revision was
instructed to obtain a record of what
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.
