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. Continued From Page 1. | table Then I began to look for work. 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. Philip Babet a rather, prominent man. discovered that 1 was a Mason. He came over to see me and after that all went well.

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. Secretary McAdoo's Son to Marry Soon BALTIMORE. May 19.—Announce ment of the engagement of Mi?s Ethel McCormick, daughter of Mrs. Isaac E. Emerson, formerly Mrs. Anne Preston McCormick, to Francis H.

He will be graduated next month. 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.
