New Moderator Tells His Plans
4*#+ *l**v +•+
Dr. Stone to Dodge Itinerating'
Chicago Pastor Describes His
$1,000,000 Religious ‘Plant’
and Social Service Ideals.
By Rev. Charles Stelzle.
John Timoth\ Stone, moderator of
the Northern Presbyterian General
Assembly, will not spend the year
“itinerating” fie will remain pretty
close to his great church enterprise
In Chicago. His touch upon the na
tional life of the church will be
through his leadership in the execu
tive commission, which is the Gen
eral Assembly’s official active agency
during the interum of the yearly
meetings, and of which the moderator
Is chairman.
Dr Stone also will retain a sym
pathetic relationship with the various
boards of the church, advising with
their officials in the matter of great
er efficiency. If there's any time
left beyond these tasks he will give
it to some of the functions which
are of a more social character. This,
In brief, Dr. Stone told me to-day. Is
his program for the coming year.
Jt was in this connection that Dr.
Stone spoke of the duties of a min-,
ister:
“The first duty of a minister is to
his pulpit and the message which
God gives him to deliver. His second
duty is to his parish and to the
people which make up the communi
ty in which his church is situated. His
third duty is toward the dty and all
Christian and philanthropic influences
which make for human betterment:"
Thinks Work Is Scattered.
It is Dr. Stone’s conviction that
the influence of the church to-day Is
lessened by too *iuch scattered ef
fort too much abstract discussion of
theories and philosophies of what
may be done, but which never lead
to anything definite and constructive.
The thing that has marked Dr. Stone's
ministry has been his remarkable
concentration upon certain definite
tasks and then driving them through
with all the force of a fine physical
and mental endowment.
The great Men’s Club of Fourth
Church In Chicago, of which he is
pastor, which has an enrollment of
900, bears testimony to this fact.
Hut the significant reason of the
moderator's success is his ability to
make other men work. He believes
in the philosophy of Dwight L. Moody,
the greatest evangelist* of this gen
eration. “ft is better to put ten men
at work than to do ten men's work.”
“The greatest obligation of a pas
tor is not, in m> judgment, to win
souls to Christ, hut to train his mem
bers to be *oul-winners.” said Dr.
Stone. And here we have one of the
reasons why there are to-day hun
dreds of people on the "waiting list”
of Fourth Church, eager to become
members of the church.
"However,” Dr. Stone quickly add
ed, “every pastor who so seeks to
train his members is constantly and
always preaching u soul-winning gos
pel in his pulpit.**
Noted Men Assist Him.
The group .of men who are stand
ing by Dr. Stone in bis Chicago
church are among the most promi
nent in American business life. Here
are just a few of them Cyrus Mc
Cormick. president of the Interna
tional Harvester Company: F.. H.
Smith, president of the Oliver Type
writer Company; Richard R. Sears,
• f Seats. Roebuck «<• Co.; Alexamiel
Rovell. president of the Revell Fur
niture Company: Howard Biting,
president of the Chicago Association
of Commerce, which has 4.000 mem
bers. Frank J Loech. the Western
attorney for the Pennsylvania Rail-
toad Companj : Henry P. Crowell,
president of the American Cereal
Company, of Quaker Oats fame—but
the list might be continued indefi
nitely.
These men are loyal to their min
ister in the great plans which have
beenm aturing under Djr Stone's di
rection during the past four years.
When he was called to Chicago from
his Baltimore church. Dr Stone was
frankly told by his friends that there
was no field in ibis district in Chi
cago for the building up of a reli
gious enterprise. But Dr. Stone has
amply demonstrated the fallacy of
this prediction. Fourth Church is
crowded at every service. It is often
impossible to secure a seat
“What ahculd be the attitude of the
Rev. Charles Stelzle.
church toward the people —the poor?”
I asked Dr. Stone, and this is about
what he said:
Outlines Community Ideal.
“The church should care for all the
people. It should minister to the needs
of the entire community. Its service*"
should be so arranged that, like those
of the Roman Catholic Church, they
suit the convenience of all grades of
workers. The church building should
be open all day, so that the poor
working woman as well as her richer
sister may come In to rest and pray.
“But the church itself should be
used only for worship. In our new
church building we shall put in the
best organ that it is possible to build.
It is to be given by Mrs. Emmons
Blaine, who is greatly interested in
social work in Chicago. She has given
orders to Skinner, the famous organ
builder of Boston, to spare no ex
pense In building it. Thin organ will
be dedicated for the purposes of wor
ship.
“Our new plans, which will cover
an entire city square, costing nearly
$1,000,000. will be so arranged that
we shall have buildings for every le
gitimate purpose In connection with
church work, including gymnasiums,
club rooms and the various other or
ganizations. Facing Lake Shore Drive,
the church itself will be of pure gothic
structure, venting 1.500 persons. The
plan of the group of buildings will be
much like that adopted by many Eng
lisli colleges. In the center will be an
open fountain court, a cloister in front
separating the buildings from the
street. There will bo a fine manse
for the minister's family, but which
will really be the 'people's house.’ "
Building Fund Paid in.
1 am glad to say." said Dr Stone,
“that every dollar of the amount nec
essary to erect this magnificent se
ries of buildings was paid in before
we began to build. The chairman of
the committee of eight having the
entire matter of the construction of
the building* in chtlrge is Thomas B.
Jones, who was president of the Uni-
versity Club of Chicago and chairman
of its building committee The plant
of the University Club is said to be
the finest of its kind in America. Mr.
Jones is the type of man who is giv
ing his time to the work that we are
doing In Chicago."
“It must not be imagined that our
fine equipment is to be used only for
the rich, said Dr Stone "The sur
vey recently made of our parish the
Twenty-First Ward of Chicago re
vealed the fact that me have every
conceivable problem which confronts
the average downtown oit> church.
We shall make every attempt to get
at this situation.
“It’s a Tale of Blood and Battle,;
Intrigue and Treachery,’’ He
Declares.

Promised a Job In a lumber yard I
j found a boarding house—run by a
] Mexican 4no r n. While waiting foi
that job 'Honolulu George” lost hjs
j I persuaded the kindly old woman to
I let him live with me.
j Mexicans are the most hospitable
i people in the world as long as you
treat them square. But they want
I what you owe them. When I failed
to get a place with the lumber com
pany and George's funds gave out,
our trouble began
George told the woman he had writ
ten his father, a wealthy man in
j Honolulu. Hawaii, to send him money
and that the “good ship” would Boon
| arrive.
We had met a man by the name of
A. A. Franke and he found out about
the money we were expecting.
Oh. that little misstep has imprersed
me how important little things in life
are.
I'nless you have a box at the post-
office in Mexico, notice that there
is mail for you Is posted on a bulle
tin. If your name appears on that
list you call on the postmaster and he
gives you what Is for you. It de
veloped later that as soon as Franke
learned of our plans he began watch
ing that list; and he was rewarded
for his efforts, hut not by money, at
first
Franke Learns the Truth.
The letter he got was for me, tell
ing of my affairs in Atlanta.
Wise as to my past. Franke came
to me and told me I was about to
be arrested by a bunch of crooks for
a $60'* reward that was offered. He
said it would take $1,000 to protect
me and he even wrote to my people
here about it, posing that he was
shielding me.
It came to an issue in my room
one night. I told him he was a crook,
and grabbing an iron bar. rushed at
him. He fled but did not drop his
persecution.
Soon afterwards I was arrested by
the jefe, the chief <>f police, on orders
of Ambassador Wilson. Franke had
written him. Failing to get the $1,000
he was scheming to get the $600 re
ward.
I submitted and probably would
have been back in Atlanta within a
few' weeks had not P'ranke acted cuch
a (‘rook. He came to me in jail and
posed as my friend, blit he was so
zealous before the American consul
to got the reward that the consul’s
suspicions were aroused.
The consul called on me and I
tell you I was glad when I discovered
he was a Georgian, Marlon Letcher,
from Conyers. He gave me money
and «aid he wanted to help me in any
way he could.
A complication arose when my land
lady demanded her board money. T
owed her $75 "Mex.—$37.60 in Amer
ican money—and they can Imprison
you for debt in Mexico. I was al
ready in jail, but “Honolulu George”—
God bless him—advised that if I re
fused to pay and wrs held on a
charge of debt they could not send
me into the States. But I wanted
to pay that woman—despite the fact
that I owe her yet.
George had got a job at $5 a w’eek.
Anticipating ills check from home fie
told the woman he would pay her
within ten days.
That promise caused George’s flight,
for Franke got his money as he had
got my letter. Ponce, the old woman
put the jefe after him. A year later,
when I returned to Chihuahua in
triumph I looked for him everywhere
but could not find him.
Franke Calls Again.
I was feeling very bitter over this
when Franke called to see me at the
prison and advised that 1 should not
resist extradition. T boiled all over
and tried to get hold of him. But
he was too sis He slipped out of
the jail like an eel t wriggling from
my grasp. And that was the last
1 ever saw of him.
I learned later that General Orozco
had had his partner shot as a thief.
General Orozco told me the last time
I saw him that if he ever laid hands
on KYanke he would have him shot.
If P'ranke and 1 ever meet again
one thing is sure one of us will die.
Somehow I made friends easily
with the Mexicans. Therefore I
was rfiore angry with the men who
proved treacherous. I did not go
there to join a revolution but to live
peacefully, hoping to soon bring my
wife and child to me. When Franke
and others wrecked my plans I was
exasperated. The local paper came
out with a front page story that I
had offered the jefe $800 in gold to
free me. 1 was facing an indefinite
term amid what I thought to be the
most terrible of all horrors—a Mexi
can prison.
That belief brought me the most
pleasing surprise of my life. Mexico
would do well to model after our
court system but America could learn
much from Mexican prisons.
The State prison of Chlhuahau is
a fifteen-acre tract about a mile from
town surrounded by a 20-adobe, con
crete wall This wall is twelve feet
thick at the bottom and six feet
thick at the top. with a guard station
at each of the four corners. A com
pany of militia is always In charge
of it. patrolling the walls at regular
intervals.
In the center are eight buildings
standing in a semicircle and in front
of these is a two-acre playground.
The prisoners are jaiid if they will
work at the rate of 26 cents a day
Mex. If they don’t want to work
they are encouraged to take exercise
on the playground.
There Is a commissary owned by
the prisoners the stock of which was
worth $3.75 when I was there
The penitentiary is the manufacturing
center of the town, furnishing the
residents their bread, doing their
blacksmithing. carpenter work and
everything else almost. That war
den is a keen grafter and he is get
ting rich.

The day when masterful, resource
ful missionaries—men who are able to
lead and who find their natural
sphere in leadership—were needed in
India is past., in the opinion of D. J.
Fleming of Lahore, in the Punjab
district of India, one of the most
noted of the foreign missionaries who
are here at:- riding the Presbyterian
Assemblies.
“India is undergoing a great social
and political awakening.” Mr. Flem
ing said Monday, “and the Indian sees
in Christianity his salvation* both
spiritually and in a political sense.
The church of Christ is now' organ
ized in India, and the kind of mis
sionaries we need are not the ones
who want to lead and who have the
power to lead, but men who are will
ing to step into the background and
let the natives lead.
“The missionary who goes to India
to-day should not lead the native
much as he should teach the native
lead himself. If there are commit
tees to be formed, the missionary
should not put himself in the fore
ground and take the chairmanship,
but he should allow a native to be the
head of the organization. If there is
a moderatorship in the church to be
filled, the missionary should not fill
it; the post should be given to a na
tive.
“The present unrest in India grew
out of the embracing of Christianity
and the organizing of the church.
The English Government has been
forced to give the people a certain
voice in their government, and the
government and the church are now
working hand in hand for the better
ment of the Indians.
“A full-blooded Hindu. Rev. Mr.
Azariah. was recently ordained a
bishop in the Church of England.
Within the past, ten years the church
of Christ has increased in member
ship 30 per cent, just six times as
fast as Hinduism and Mohammedan
ism. One out of every four native
Christians can read, one out of everv
30 Hindus and one out of every 27
Mohammedans.”
Mr. Fleming is a member of the fac-
1.1’ty of Foreman Christian College, -it
Lahore, which has about 500 native
students.

Legislature Probably Will Cre
ate Barrow, With Town of
Winder as the Capital.
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
There will be many new county
propositions submitted to the Georgia
Legislature at its forthcoming sum
mer session. Some of them are likely
to go through.
There generally is a disposition
upon the part of the Legislature to
give favorable ear to new county pro
posals. wl)ere the showing made i*
commendable, for it is recognized a.« 3
fact that some counties in the State
now are both fearfully and wonder
fully made, particularly as concerfl*
the convenience of the people thereof
in the matter of getting to and from
the county seats.
One new county proposal, for in
stance. that the Legislature likely will
consider with favor is that of the new
county of Barrow. Barrow will be
created of slice® of Walton. Gwinnett
and Jackson, with the hustling and
altogether substantial town of Winder
as the county seat.
It generally is recognized that this
proposition is a good one. Winder now
is neither Ash, nor flesh, nor good red
herring. It is located right where
Gwinnett, Jackson and Walton Coun
ties corner. It is* many miles from
the county seats of all three counties,
and it is the most important town in
its vicinity.
If any new county proposition will
look good to the in-coming Legisla
ture. seemingly the proposed county
of Barrow should. And m$ny mem
bers of the new General Assembly al
ready have expressed themselves as
ready to vote for it.
It seems safe enough to say, there
fore, that any new county proposition
that frames up as reasonably as Bar
row, likely will receive attention to
its backers’ satisfaction, even though
numerous new county propositions
undoubtedly will receive cold comfort
at the hands of the Legislature.
It was stated in this column recent
ly that Georgia has no living ex-Sen-
ator of the United States. That was
a mistake, as Georgia has a living ex-
Senator in the person of Hon. Thomas
M. Norwood, of Savannah.
Senator Norwood, while advanced
in years, still is hale and hearty, and
keep** In close touch with the political
thought and trend of the nation. He
served a short term in the Senate
many years ago. under executive ap
pointment. to fill the unexpired term
of Benjamin H. Hill, who had died in
office.
Of late years Senator Norwood ha?
taken no active hand in politics, and
has withdrawn entirely from the pub
lic view.
A hill w ill be introduced in the next
Legislature giving to judges in Geor
gia the right to suspend indefinitely
sentences in criminal cases, where. In
their judgment, the true purposes of
the criminal statute? may be better
carried out thereby.
This bill also will give to counties
the right to appoint probation officers
in their discretion.
The proposed new law is backed by
the Georgia Prison Reform Associa
tion. and likely will pass the Legisla
ture by a comfortable majority.
In speaking recently to the Jlieh-
mond County grand jury iq regard
to the estimate of $10,000 for this year
to be paid jurors alone in the City and
Superior Courts. Judge Henry C.
Hammond said that in his opinion
the law* is wrong in regard to the
number of strikes that each the State
and defense has in criminal cases.
Under the present law the State has
ten and (he defense twenty.
Judge Hammond said he thought a
defendant should be forced to say
why he refused to take an honorable
and upright citizen to sff on his case,
and that he personally didn't believe
either side should be allowed strikes
except for good and sufficient rea
sons.
He asked that the grand jury rec
ommend to the Legislators that each
side be given only ten strikes.
“Gold old reliable ‘Jack’ Slaton wall
be a worthy successor to ‘Little Joe’
Brown, one of the best Governors
Georgia ever had,” opines The Butts
County Progress.
Governor-elect Slaton will be inau
gurated June 28, it seems, instead of
on June 1, as was at first given out.
When United States Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, comes to
Georgia next month to deliver the
annual literary address before the
State University, he will be given a
royal and a particularly cordial wel
come.
He has scores of warm friends in
Georgia who knew him when he lived
in Savannah and Augusta, and they
propose to show him marked atten
tion while he is visiting his old home.
He was genuinely popular in the old
days, albeit he merely was a strug
gling young lawyer at the time. His
old father still lives in Augusta, com
fortably cared for in his old age by
the Senator.
