Exclusive Eng lish society is becoming violently »gi. fated over the Invasion of such Amer ican dances the "turkey trot," "tango," "bunny hug" and "Boston.” A number of letters were published to-day in the press commenting upon a recent protest against the dance* written by a peeress. Although, for the most part, the dames are condemned as degrading the ball room, the new movements have found a few supporters among the "fast set.” Alice, rountese of Strafford, in commenting upon the dances, says: "The so-called dances can only be compared to the wild abandon and immoral frenzies of the ancient Bae- chantlc revels, although the modern versions are devoid of grace. If the movements of these new dances' were traced to their origin, it would be found that they owed it to the fanatical revels of the negro tribes. They have since those days developed in America In an atmosphere dis tinctly impure.” Soda crackers are more nu tritive than any other flour food. Uneeda Biscuit are the perfect soda crackers.

There is just one thing we will not do—we will not back up. We have not usurped any authority. Everything we have done has been done with Preebyterial au thority.” J. Ernrst McAfee, social secretary of the Board of Home Missions, de nied that the board had usurped tha I authority of the Presbytery. "The reports that the board has taken the authoritv of the Presby tery is entirely unfounded,” declared Secretary McAfee. “On the contrary, the Presbytery has more authority on these questions than it ever had be fore. It is unfair to think that a bbard could labor for years without spine mistakes. Take this into con sideration when you make your de cision.” Praise Given Board. The Board of Home Missions was warmly praised and defended by Dr. Maitland Alexander, of Plttsburgn, who submitted the report of the standing committee on Home Mis sions. "If there is anything in the work of the Board of Home Missions to be changed,” he said, "let us change 1: at once and stop the criticism. Why not keep our mouths closed and change those conditions which some of the Assembly think are wrong.” Dr. Alexander called attention to the fact that contributions in 19i2 were $71,289.79 less than in 1911. due largely, he said to the los9 of confi dence because of the widespread criti cism. The main charge against the board is that it exceeded its authority In ap pointing four field secretaries to have supervision of the mission work being done by the church throughout the country, and that the board had been extravagant in its administrative ex penditures. The Assembly already had found that the charges were baseless, but the executive commission reported that certain changes f-'hould be made in respect to the bureau of church and oountrv life, which has been in charge of the' Rev. Warren H. Wilson, and other departments of the Home Mis sion Board. Dr. Alexander asked for a renewed support for the board. He declared that the policy had been misunder stood, and that the general body of Presbyterians did not appreciate the conditions under whkth the board was compelled to work. Order Evangelistic Appeals. On the recommendation of Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of the committee on bills and overtures, a resolution was adopted making it obligatory upon the ministers of the church to issue an evangelistic appeal either during or immediately following each ser mon. The resolution was fought by the Rev. C. A. R. Janvier, .of Phila delphia, who thought that such a pressure should not be brought to bear upon the minister. • “No one is more in favor of evan gelistic work than I am,” said Dr. Janvier, "but I think It inadvisable to make a ruling that will be honored more in the breach than in the ob servance.” The American Bible Society lost in its effort to be placed on the budget of the assembly. A motion was made to amend the report'of the commit tee on bills and overtures by placing the society on the budget, but it lost by a decisive vote. The practice of Chinese youths of coming to this country in the guise of students and then becoming labor ers was called to the attention of the assembly by the recommendation that all Presbyterian colleges aid the Gov ernment by filing statements of all Chinese students who are enrolled, to gether with the time when these stu dents leave and where they go. od of attack is not the desirable method in dealing with Romanism. Change Form of Election. Another special item of this report was with reference to the election >>f field secretaries and other secretaries The report recommending that the power of electing secretaries be re stored to the General Assembly was adopted. An amendment to the re port, to the effect that the executive committees be given the power to nominate these secretaries was adopt ed also. The time of the day having arrived, at It o’clock nominations were made of the place of meeting of the Assem bly of 1914. The first norftination was Newport News. Ya., Rev. T. E. Wel- ford. of that City, making the nomi nation.

The next General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States will convene in Kansas City. Mo. This decision was made just before the close of the morning session of the Southern Assembly Wednesday. The selection of Kansas City was made without difficulty. The invita tion was extended by Judge William H. Wallace, of the Missouri city. Other Towns Open Doors. Other invitations included one from Waco, Texas, extended by Dr. D. H. Davis; from Newport News, Va., by Dr. E. 1’. Wellford, and from Rock Hill, S. C. Kansas City won by a vote of 103, with Waco polling 31 votes; Newport News. 20. and Rock Hill, 9. After voting the motion was made and car ried that the vote be unanimous for Kansas City. Eloquent addresses attended the extending of the invitations from the four cities. Judge Wallace, in his speech, declared that Kansas City was in the hands of the devil. Says Assembly Is Needed. "Our people in Kansas City are los- I ing respect for the church," Dr. Wal- I lace said. “Saloons, once closed on Sunday, are now flung wide open on the Sabbath. The next Assembly is needed. It will do our city a great amount of good.” The first item of business of special interest to the Assembly of.the South ern Church Wednesday morning was the presentation of the bills and over tures report. The item of this report that created the basis of diMcussion was with refer ence to Romanism. The recommenda tion of the committee that the resolu tions on Romanism by the Louisville I Assembly of 1911 be adopted by this I Assembly, was laid on the table. This ‘action taken by the Assembly is ex pressive of the opinion that the rneth- earnest pleas from many of the com missioners that the Southern Church withdraw from the council. Thirty denominations are represent ed in the council and specific charges against their work are the social serv ice regime outlined by the council, and that it is going beyond the JX’ope of the church, in that it is dealing in things politic. Attacks on the council were precipi tated by the filing of the report of the committee on foreign correspondence, of which Dr. Thornton Whaling, presi dent of Columbia Seminary, is chair man. This drew forth a minority re port by Dr. T. M. Lowrv. of Memphis, and Rev. R. M. Hall, of Galveston. Whaling for Remaining. The report of Dr. Whaling admitted there were many things about the Federal Council which did not meet with the requirements of the Southern Presbyterian Church. In the interest of a further spread of Christianity, however. Dr. Whaling recommended that the Southern Church remain In the council. "I do not approve of the social serv ice program which the council, is adopting, but for the sake of unity and good fellowship I strongly rec ommend that we remain in the coun cil." he said. "I do not believe in building a high wall around ourselves, but rather think we should partici pate in the work of upbuilding the Christian churches in America." Dr. Lowry and Dr. Hall were bit ter in their charges against the coun cil. “The social service program of the council is not in accord with the sen timent of the Southern Presbvterian Church,” said Dr. Lowry. “But the greatset reason that T can see as to why the Southern Presbyterian Church should withdraw from the council is that political headquarters are to be established by it in Wash ington. An effort Is being made tn mike the church a nolitical power. Tt is a step away from Christian teachings; it is beyond our scope as workers for the Christianity!” Dr. Hall, while not a commission er, was called upon by reason of his connection with the council. He was a delegate to the council convention in Chicago last year, and his remarks were a reiteration of the bitter charges made by Dr. Lowry. Cites Political ft/love. Dr. Hall charged tjiat the council entered politics when it sent a com mittee to Washington to urge the President to recognize China as a re public. He declared that the actions of the council reflected on the Chris tian sincerity and religious spirit of the churches it represented. The brief statement of belief caused a long discussion, though it was final ly adopted by a vote of 119 to 64. Dr. James I. Vance, of Nashville, chairman of the committee which submitted the statement last week, made another strong address recom mending its adoption. Many short talks followed his. and a few minor changes were made in the wording. United Assembly Meets In Newcastle, Pa., in 1914. \ After an hour's lively debate, in | which the Rev. John A. Henderson, of ' Ohio, charged Moderator Robert M. Russell with springing a "chestnut” in the line <^f speeches on the Assembly, Newcastle, Pa . Wednesday was chosen as the 1914 meeting place of the Gen eral Assembly of the United Presby terian Church. Newcastle won over Xenia. Ohio, and Monmouth, Ill. Only one ballot was necessary, the vote be ing as follows. Newcastle, 135; Mon mouth. 59, and Xenia. 35. An incident that brought forth con siderable laughter occurred as Moder ator Russell announced the result of the ballot. As he declared that “New castle winf” the fire bell In the engine house next door to the t'entral Pres byterian Church clanged sharply sev eral times. All three of the cities that contested for the next meeting had valiant champions. Moderator Russell spoke in favor of Newcastle, detailing the advantages of the Pennsylvania city. Dr. John A. Henderson spoke for Xenia, and C. A. Hogue, a business man of Monmouth, spoke for that city. White City Park Now Open B00KL0VER CONTESTANTS.- Order LUCKKE TIPS on Rooklovers’ Contest.
