THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. MAY 19. 1913
CHARGE OF HERESY SIS
NORTHERN PRESBYTERIANS
Teachings of the Union ! heological
Seminary Severely Attacked in Re
port to the Assembly.
Charge* that herethsl teaching are I
bring spread by Union Theological
Seminary, of New York, confronted
the commissioner* of the Northern
Prftsbyteriar. As*cmbly at their v«*s-
Mon Monday afternoon.
The accusation* were contained In
one of the mlnorlt> report*, already
printed in The Georgian, of the np^-
« ial committee on the re-establishing
c»f relation* between the church and
the seminary. The report wan signed
by Rev. F. C. Mont fort. D. D.. of Cin
cinnati. •
The new theology was most vigor
ously attacked in the following para
graph of Dr. Mont fort’s report:
A theology which denies the 6u-
oernatural; that regard* sin not
as the result of an ‘abrupt trans
formation’ or the fall, but as ‘the
survival of the animal in man,'
and salvation ‘not as an act.’ but
as ‘a process rooted a6 »m is. in
the nature of man.’ that regard*
Chr'st 'not as God and man,' but
as ‘God in man’ and ‘a type to
which all men are ultimately
destined to conform,' and which
acknowledges as man's supreme
authority not the Scriptures, but
the ‘lightt hat is in him.’ is not
the theology of the Westminster
Confession nor of the Presbyt®-
rian Church.
Th'* Northern -\a*embl> had been
stirred by the marge* that politic*
had brought about the election of Dr.
John T. Rtone a* ’ moderator. Dr.
Stone at the beginning of the morn
ing sesHon took occasion to reply in a
dignified manner, asking that all per
sonalities be laid aside and that If any
mistake bad been made that it be
overlooked.
The moat pretentious plan for the
amalgamation of the Presbyterian
Churches of America was made public
before the Northern Assembly. It
proposed a union of nil the family of
Presbyterian Churches. Other pro*
posale which have received indorse
ment have embraced the union of two
or three of the branches None before
ha* ventured to suggest for Actual
consideration the union of all
“Elect Infant Clause" to Stand.
The majority of the committee re
ported that prospects were favorable
for a rat urn to the former relations
between the church and the seminary
and that the directors of the Institu
tion appeared most willing to make
all the change* desired by the- rep-
i* scntatlve of the Assembly. They
asked that their committee be
continued so that the work of re
union might be effected.
The committee having in hand the
consideration of the “elect Infant
clause” reported to the Southern As
sembly with the recommendation the:

Dr. Stone Makes
Reply to His Critics.
The reply of Dr. John T Storte to
the cry of “politics" in his election as
moderator and a new proposal for
the federation of the Presbyterian
churches of America were the import
ant features of Monday s session of
the Northern Assembly in the Bap
tist Tabernacle
Dr. Stone deplored the Introduction
of personalities into the conferences
of the Assembly, but would not Com
ment at length on the charge that his
election as a ‘Mark horse" had been
prearranged for six weeks before the
meeting of the Assembly.
“If any have erred in Judgment, let
us overlook it. or, betterYpt111, look not
at it/’ he admonished the commis
sioners. "I wish to stale that all I
have to say is that 1 believe in God.
1 believe in my brethren and I be
lieve in doing tny duty."
Deny Charges.
Dr. \V. R. King, of Monmouth. Ill.,
who made the nominating speech in
behalf of Dr. Stone, said In regard to
the charge that politics hud been
played in the selection of the Chicago
man.
“It Is absolutely false. 1 nominated
him simply and solely because I re
garded him as the best man. The.*e
was no chicanery or trickery or po
litical prearrangement of any sort I
wish to say that the story Is the cru
ellest aort of an Injustice, both to Dr. |
Stone andSo the person* who assisted j
In choosing him to lead the delibera
tion* of the Assembly.''
W. T. Kills, who seconded the nom
ination, said: *
“If there Is a particle of truth In the
story that Dr. Stone's nomination was
in any way prearranged then, obv!
ously, since we explicitly stated to the
contrary, neither Dr. Kin*” nor my* If
is a gentleman or a sincere Christian.
Therefore, the subject is out of the!
realm of discussion on my part."
Great Federation.
A federation of the entire family of
Christian churches of America under
a more general plan than any pre
viously advanced, was approved at the
Monday morning session of the
Northern Assembly
A round of applause greeted the
proposition when it was placed before
the Assembly by Dr. William H. Rob
erts. chairman of the special commit
tee on church co-operation and union.
Dr. Roberts <-«ld that the plan was
considered by his committee as much
more effectual In bringing about a
speedy union of the Presbyterian
Churches than those which contem
plate only the union of two of the
branches, such as the Houthern and
United Assemblies T»r the Northern
and the Reformed.
A motion to adopt, the report of the
committee and authorize representa
tives of the Northern Assembly to
present the new scheme of federation
to th*- other Assemblies at their ses
sions Tuesday, was carried by a unan
imous standing vote of the Assembly.
Backs Fusion.
Impetus was given the -movement
for n general union of the Presbyte
rian churches of the nation by the
brilliant address of President Whal
ing. of Columbia Theological Semi
nary. who appeared as a representa
tive of the Southern Assembly.
"Time is bringing together the sun
dered parts of our great church," was
the significant Introduction to ills
speech which in its entirety was a
most forcible plea for the i-bmlna-
! tion of all the differences which have
; kept the church divided for more than
j a halt* century.
"Tm- history and lineage of our
j church can never be divided." he cob -
I tlnued. “There Is rio doctrinal gulf
which our ecclesiastical engineers
I could not bridge. In spirit we are
j one. We should be so in fact."

Elect Infant Clause
To Remain Unchanged.
j The taking of the report of the
1 permanent committee of systematic
belied rence from the docket of the
I General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church is anticipated
I with special interest: It Is known that
, ton overtures have been presented to
the Assembly from as many presby
teries touching this committee and
[that requests have been made for the
| full restoration of former powers of
this committee.
During the Assembly of 1912 tills
committee was deprived of some of
its power and seven members re-
signed.
! The keenest interest was precipi-
j tMted on th«* Assembly floor Monday
I when a second report touching the
J “elect infant clause" fecommended
•that the deliverance of the- Assembly
| of 1902 t*e reiterated; that the Bcrlp-
tures warrant the belief that all in
fants dying in infancy are saved, and
that in view of this no recommenda
tion regarding any change in the Con
fession of Faith be handed down to
the presbyteries touching the elect
infant clause."
Dr. W. M. McPheeters, of Colum
bia. cautioned against the adoption of
the report.
Speaking for the report of the com
mittee of which be is chairman, Dr
T S Clyco said the Confession of
Faith in its entirety suits him. but the
passage convening the teaching of the
church on the election of infant* Is
; not clear; that the people are de-
j mandlng a change of expression, many
wanting It stricken from the confes
sion.
The church, he said, gives forth the
I hope that all infants dying in infancy
j are saved, and that it Is the duty of
I the church to express that hope.
1 Speaking again. Dr. McPheeters
urged that all reference to the Ah
j *embl\ of 1902 be stricken from the
| t < port of the committee and leave
the report to recommend that no Sug-
j u« Hied amendment be sent down to
tlie presbyteries on this question.
Difference of Opinion.
Remarks from a number of coin-
j mission*t> were .heard, some speak -
! ing in favor of the report and others
1 in favor of the amendment.
When the call for the question came.
■ the vote was taken first on the
•m» ndment offered by Dr. McPhee-
ter- and the amendment was lost.
Before the Vote on the report could
taken. Dr. J \t Wells offered a* a
I substitute to the report the recom
mendation that the whole of the “elect
I infant clause" be stricken from the
J Confession of Faith.
The vote was taken and the sub-
[ st itute was lost
No recommendation for change in
j the “elect infant clause" is sent down
in the presbyteries, and the Assem
bly reaffirmed the action of the As
sembly of 1902.
The remainder «>f the session was
devoted to addresses and reports.

Returns Home for Rest After
New York Triumph in Belas-
co’s ‘The Governor’s Lady.’
“1 love Atlanta. The thing which
pleases me most about my success is
that it has pleased my Atlaiua
friends.”
Miss Gladys Hanson Snook, one of
the most beautiful actresses Atlanta
has given The New York stage, frr.s'n
fiom triumphs as one of the leading
players in David Belasco's produc
tion of “The Governor’s Lady,” thus
expressed Monday her loyalty to her
home city.
She is» at her home, 103 Cleburne
Avenue, for a month’s rest after h„:*
metropolitan engagement. This sum
mer she sails for Europe, returning
only in time for the New York ppen-
ing of fhe play in which she added to
her fame this past season.
“Many of my Atlanta girl friends
are anxious to attempt a stage ca
reer, and already they are calling on
me." Miss Hanson has told Atlanta
friends. "They start with well wish’s
and congratulations and personal
chat, buwpdways the conversation
works around to the question. 'What
chance would I have?'
“Southern Girls Have Charm.”
“1 may as well answer them all at
once. Atlanta girls who have any
talent for acting will find the stage
no more difficult, but certainly no
more easy, than any other profession.
Indeed, 1 think the Atlanta girls
stand a little better chance of real
success than girls from other sections.
"Southern girls have a charm,
which Is the birthright of Dixie, and
which managers are quick to recog
nize Then the famous 'Atlanta spir
it' is not limited. I feel sure, to the
men who are making the city famous.
This spirit of enterprise, of persevei -
ante in the face of obstacles, ana thf
habit of succeeding should help At
lanta’s daughter* as well as he; eons.
S.ometimeel think, though, that the I
rewards of the stage are hardly
nough to compensate for living away '
from Atlanta. This is a dear, beauti
ful G y, 1 alwa; s want to get back.”
Boy Near Death in

afternoon and would have perished
had not the accident been observed
by John P. Burns, of 123 Cooper

Burns clambered down into the
sewer, where he found the child lying,
unconscious', in the shallow water at
the bottom.
The boy was taken to Cooper Hos
pital, SX Cooper Street, and is in a se
rious condition.

general belief that they were signifi
cant and that some new plan -was
being determined.
More Arrests Are Denied.
It was positively denied by the trio
of officers, however, that any new’ ar
rest* were to be made.
“I don’t know who it would be,” re
plied Chief Lanford when asked a di
rect question.
The first conference was held when
Solicitor Dorsey summoned Chief
Lanford to his office. The two were
closeted for nearly an hour. Then
Chief Lanford called Detective Scott
to the police station. The Pinkerton
man. when he arrived, declared he
had no idea what the chief should
want with him. He and the chief,
were behind closed doors for fully an
hour or more.
“YYe have merely been looking
over the evidence in a general way,”
said both officers when they emerged
from the office.
Asked as to the nature of his con
ference with the Solicitor, Oiiief Lan
ford made the same reply.
”YVe were just going over thf evi
dence." he said. ,
No Friction, Chief Asserts.
Chief Lanford also denied that
there had been any friction among the,
officials over , the work on the mys
tery. or that the conferences had any
bearing along this line. As to a re
port that he had withheld evidence
from the Solicitor. Chief Lanford
said:
“I don't remember of having with
hold any evidence. Mr. Dorsey didn’t
ask me anything about this report
at all." t
The Solicitor and the Pinkertons
have held no (‘(inferences. Detective
Scott makes reports* to Chief Lan
ford and these are submitted to the
Solicitor.
Detective Scott said Monday 1 h31.
he still has five men at work on the
mystery, but refused to discuss any
particular line on which they are
working.
Colonel Thomas B. Folder an
nounced Monday morning that he had
received word from William J. Burnt
that h£ would arrive in America be
fore June 1 and would probably be on
the scene of the Phagan slaying be
fore that date.
Colonel Felder said the great de
tective had taken an unusual interest
in the Phagan mystery and he would
r ot be surprised to hear from him in
America any day >oon.
i “Burns is mon* interested in this
j »ase than I have know n him to be ir
I another." said Colonel Felder. "1 am
! acvised that he wili hasten his re
turn from Europe on this account and
be in America some days before June
1. He will, of course, come direct to
Atlanta. ,
"The' meantime developments since
ki« investigator ha? been here arc
more than satisfactory. The Burns
detective convinced Mr. Dorsey Sun
day afternoon that he had touched
Up(*n heretofore overlooked evidence
of importance, arid in his report io-
day we expect valuable information.'’
Search Grows More Active.
With investigation into the mystery
more active Monday than it has been
at any time during the last two weeks,
the Solicitor was hopeful that impor
tant developments would be made
during the day.
The’special represehtativ* of the
Burn# agency was reported to nave
•‘■truck upon an important and hereto
fore overlooked clew that throws a
new light on the case. Ho will make
i definite report at 11 o’clock this
morning at the office of tlie Solicitor,
| when it is not unlikely some an
nouncement will be made.
Leo M. Frank, the factory superin
tendent. received a large number of
visitors at his cell in the Tower Sun
day. He would not discuss the case,
or even comment on it. He said his
health was fine and he had accus
tomed himself to the daily routine In

The examination of the handwrit
ing of the negro. James Connolly, held
at the police station in connection
with the murder of Mary Phagan,
failed to connect him with writing
the notes found near the slain girl’s
body in the basement of the pencil
factory, according to City Detective
John Black. Monday morning. The
detective said that unless the negro
could be connected with the crime in
this way there was nothing against
, him.

the accident to a Georgian reporter
as follows:
“There is a little house and an em
bankment at the East Lake approach
to the crossing and I could not see. I
had slowed my machine down to a
walking nave and listened for a train,
but could hear none.
"Just as we came upon the track
the iron monster was upon us. 1 do
not know at what rate it thundered
up. but it looked as big a? all the
trains 1 have ever *«een combined into
f one
"Wf tvCre almost ori the track. I
shoved on my emergency and turned
my ar as much as I could in the di-
i rection the train was going.
No Time to Leap.
"That w’as all that saved us. In
stead of absolutely demolishing us
the train sideswiped us. We all tried
to jump, but did not have time—we
were hurled out.
“Except for the shock nonp of us
were hurt to amount to anything "
