2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. EMBLY SKIRMISH WILL DECLARES OR. SIELZLE Union Theological School Not So Anxious for Presbyterians to Take It Under Its Wing, He Says—-The Church lade Move for “Wedding.” By Rev. Cha Hes Stelzle. Everybody had supposed that the relationship between Union Theological Seminary and the Presbyterian General Assembly in the last year or two was that of courtship, with the General As sembly as the suitor. At least this is the impression that one might have secured by listening to the debates and particularly the resolutions adopted at previous assemblies, with ref-' erence to- this matter. The Assembly proposed union —it was the aggressor—but while the basis of union, or, at least, of closer relationship was accepted by Union Seminary, the Assembly seemed in a mood Monday to “break Ihe engage ment,’’ and it found itself Tues day morning in the position of returning the little “tokens of endearm<Tnt” which had been confidently placed in its hands. Here In the resolution adopted by the Assembly of 1911. which was the basis of the approach to the di vorced but "haughty body," who yet was believed to have tender feelings toward the Presbyterian Assembly. Resolution of Last Year. Whereas. The t’nion Theologi cal Seminary in the city of New York was founded by Presbyte rians and largely endowed from Presbyterian sources; and Whereas, Some years past there developed a condition which led to the severing of the rations which had existed from ttie the organization of the seminary, be- tween it and the (Jeneral Assem bly; and Whereas, We are persuaded that there are in tlie faculty and in the directorate of Union Theo logical Seminary men who are in accord with evangelical Christi anity as expressed in the Stand ards of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, and who are zealous in all good work for the growth of the kind- dom of our Lord Jesus Christ in the world; and Whereas, We believe that it would be a signal manifestation of the spirit of our Lord and Sa viour Jesus Christ, who prayed "that they all may be one,” for Christian brethren, under the gracious guidance of the Holy Spirit, to remove all misunder standings. alienations and antag onism. and to become vitally and aggressively united in the doc trine of our beloved church in the work of bringing nations and the world to Christ; therefore, be it Committee Named. Resolved, That the Assembly hereby authorizes the moderator to appoint a committee of nine, to consist of Jive ministers, of whom the moderator shall be one, and four ruling elders, none of whom shall be connected with tlie directors and faculty of the said* seminary, with a view of the re establishment of relations be tween the seminary and the Gen eral Assembly on the basis of the standards of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America; this committee to re port at the next Assembly. This committee, after much dis cussion. finally submitted to Union Seminary two proposition, which were to serve as the basis of closer friendship. Tin- first of those question* is this W ill the board of directors make such provision as will secure to all Pres byterian students In attendance upon Union Theological Seminary such ad equate instruction in the departments of church government, discipline, or ganization and history as will qualify them to answer satisfactorily the questions on these subjects, pro pounded. according to church law and usage, at their licensure and ordina tion to the Presbyterian ministry? The second question is this; Will the bQard of directors make such pro vision as will secure to all Presbyte rian students in attendance upon Union Theological Seminary such ad equate instruction, as an integral pari cf their theological training. In the special system of doctrine contained in the symbols of the Presbyterian Church, as will enable them to answer satisfactorily the questions respecting Presbyterian doctrine, propounded ac cording to church law and usage, at their licensure and ordination to the Presbyterian minist i y '.’ But They Cut "Her” Dead.

We wanted to meet you. and perhaps become bet ter acquainted with you. so that we might work out together some of the big problems in the church,” Dr. Brown said in substance. A» Usual, There Are "Rivals.” But, like in every love story, there were "rivals." They appeared in the presentation of the minority reports. Dr. John R. Davies, who presented minority report No. I. is a director in Princeton Theological Seminary, Union’s most bitter enemy. Dr. F. C. Monfort, w ho brought in minority re port No 2. Is a director In Lane Theo logical Seminary, which isn’t too fond of Union. Now. rivals don’t, as a rule, say nice things about the girl who is ready being courted by the great big strong fellow whom they like, too. tl wasn’t surprising, therefore, that such phrases as "Hindoo philosophy Is being taught at Union Seminary” and “unjtarianlsm is the belief of its professors." and even worse charges of downright dishonesty should be made by the men who represented these rival Institutions. To be sure, they were perfectly sincere—aside from their intimate connection with these conservative institutions, rivals always are sincere. But the fact remains—Union Sem inary had fulfilled its contract in the particular proposition made to it by the committee of the Assembly and was then turned down. Now Union Theological Seminary is working for an endowment of a million and a half—tl>e exact amount doesn't matter much, for Union prob ably w'ill plan for even bigger things when It secures this sum, because this theological university big, broad, but thoroughly evangelical—is growing at a tremendous rate In influence and in enrollment. Row Will Aid School. Yesterday’s skirmish in the Genera* Assembly will help to increase both Union’s endowment and its number of student*#. It has always been so in previous fights. Perhaps when the newspapers this morning printed the story that the Assembly was in a frame of mind to rebuke the seminary for standing by what seemed right to its directors and faculty, somebody immediately wrote out a check for a good big sum and sent it to Dr. Fran cis Brown, its calm, cultured, Chris tian president. The other men in this fight are Christian men. too. Both Dr. Davies and Dr. Monfort are noted for their fine admirable Christian characters. That’s what makes this whole con troversy so sad and so difficult to ad just. it’s a case of good men and true differing, not merely in personal matters, but they all truly believe that they are "fighting the battle of the Lord." And when a man believes that, he'll die rather than betray his trust. However, Union Theological Sem inary and tile (Jeneral Assembly will some day be "wed." Not in just the way that some folks wish, but they’ll fight together against the common foe of injustice and sin. and then they'll find that the hearts of these men on the other side are right, whatever may have been their theo logical differences--and a man’s good heart is a whole lot bigger thing than ids theological convictions, no matter how profound. Meanwhile other suitors have been making advances to Union Seminary. The Methodists, Baptists and Episco palians have made arrangements through which students from their bodies will receive special instruction in their peculiar doctrine and polity. This probably forever precludes the possibility of making Union Seminary a distinctively Presbyterian institu tion. Press Censorship Asked in Florida TALLAHASSEE, FLA.. May 20. Representative Darnell, of Key West, has introduced a resolution in the Florida House for a press censorship, particularly for the weekly papers of the State. His resolution follows; "\\ m>reas, a ntimber of corpora tion-serving newspapers have pub lished malicious, untruthful and mis leading editorials relative to pro- ceedings. thereby doing grave in justice to members of this House.

Miss Gladys Hanson Snook, or Next Sunday’s Coupons Will Count 30 Votes Southern Body Stirred by New Statement of Belief A motion to adopt the ad interim committee’s report on the statement of belief, as read by Dr J. M. Wells, created a furor of discussion at Tuesday's session of the Southern Assembly. The statement is a corrected form of that drawn up by last year’s com mittee. After it was read, Dr. T. S. Knox, of Texas, opened the discus sion by declaring first that it was wholly unnecessary. "The adoption of this statement would make void all possibilities of a union between the three Presbyterian bodies," declared Dr. Knox. "The article is not only bad grammar but it is also bad theology." Cries of shame followed Dr. Knox’s speech. "It is outrageous,” declared Dr. Mc- Pheeters, "that such words should be uttered in a Presbyterian church." Dr. A. I*. Gregory, of Tennessee, spoke, declaring that the statement was badly needed. Dr. J. B. Works, of Texas, contradicted Dr. Knox’s as sertion that the change was not de sired in the West, by stating that it would be welcomed in that district. Following other short addresses, the motion was tabled until the after noon session. The change in the basis of repre sentation. which has become a law by the enactment of the General Assem bly of the Southern Presbyterian Church, will Increase materially the representation to future Assemblies. The change means that in future the commissioners to the General As sembly shall be chosen as follows: Every Presbytery s'hall be entitled to elect one minister and one elder as commissioners, and all Presbyteries where the combined membership of ministers and communicants exceed 4,000 will be entitled to elect one min ister and one elder additional. This ratio will continue with the addition of each four thousand members in the Presbytery. Among the first features of the As sembly Tuesday morning was the fraternal messenger from the General Assembly of the United Presbyterian Church. The "special order" for 2:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon was a report of the committee on foreign correspond ence. Beneficence Discussed. Consideration of the report of the standing committee on systematic beneficence was resumed. The part of the report presented was with refer ence to the permanent committee of systematic beneficence. The only item of the report that provoked discuslson was that with reference to the restoration of the power of the permanent committee to nominate members and secretaries of the excutive committees of the As sembly. This power formerly be longed to the committee, but was taken from it at the Assembly of 1912 The report of the standing commit tee recommended the restoration of this power, but with the provision that it should not deprive any other member of the Assembly rimilar right Dr. W. M, F. Alexander opposed the res'toraation of this power, upon the ground that it would mean too much centralization of power; that in time the association of this committee with the executive committees might beget upon the part of members of the lat ter the disposition to bow to the for mer in order to receive nomination for the committees. Clyce to the Defense. ’ Dr. T. S. Clyce met this opposoition with the statement that he had been a member of the Permanent Commit tee on Systematic Beneficence when it possessed the power under consid eration and that th^re was no log rolling on the part of any one; furth er, that it is not likely there would be such at any time. He urged that the Assembly have more concentra tion of power in the transactions of its business. The report of the committee was adopted and the power of the Perma nent Committee was restored. The time for uniting all Presbyte rian churches is not yet ripe. This is the decision of the Southern Pres byterian Church, unanimous appar ently. If there were any who opposed, they failed to voice their sentiment against such an overwhelming vote for the retention of the Southern church’s individuality. Report of the committee on over tures against uniting was adopted al most unanimously. It stated that the time was not Just ripe for the uniting of the Southern church with other branches of the Presbyterian. The fact that negotiations are already un der way between the Southern Pres byterian Church and the United ed, the present time appeared as inopportune for a discussion of union. The beneficence committee’s report recommended that the percentage for foreign missions be cut from 60 to 54 per cent; that home missions receive 27 instead of 21 per cent; Christian education and ministerial relief to receive 14 1-2 Instead of 14 per cent, and Sunday school publications re duced from 4 to 3 1-2 per cent.

The first report heard at the Tues day morning session of the United Presbyterian Assembly was that of the woman’s board. This report showed a larger number of unmar ried woman missionaries sent out the past year than any preceding year. The year closed without a deficit. The report was adopted without disc ussion. Reports on the state of religion and education were unanimously adopted. * An attempt was made to bring up the fight between the home mission board and the board of publication for control of Sabbath school work. Dr. John A. Henderson presented a resolution that a special committee, insisting of seven men not connect- 1 with either board, be appointed to investigate the conflicting claims, and report the results of this investi gation to next year’s Assembly. Dr. McGill opposed its appointment, say ing it would hinder the Sabbath school work. Other delegates supported hint. Dr. L. \Y. Williamson, of Topeka, Kans., declared it seemed that neither board was hurt but that a certain worker was, and asked the Assembly to find a position for the worker re ferred to. Dr. Russell replied that the report yesterday merely showed the worker’s term had expired. Dr. Hen derson then withdrew his motion. Ministers Decrease in Number. It was shown b> the report on theological seminaries that the num ber of deaths in the ministerial ranks exceeded the number of young men entering by 11. and recommended that a campaign be waged presenting the claims of the gospel ministry to the young men in the colleges. The re port was adopted. It was voted to change the time of adjournment from 12 to 12:30 after to-day. » The session on Monday afternoon w as featured by a stormy debate over a recommendation made by the com mittee on biils and overtures to reaf firm the action of last year’s Assem bly in taking control of mission Sab bath schools and Sabbath school ex tension work from the hands of the board of publication and putting it in charge of the board of home mis sions. Dr. \Y. B. Smiley, secretary of the Sabbath school work, which office would be abolished if the recom mendation were adopted, made the charge that polities was at the bot tom of the recommendation. Mr. Smiley stated to a Georgian reporter that some one outside the mission board was responsible for the recom mendation being made. The courtesies of the floor were extended to Dr. \V. J. Reed, chairman of the Sabbath school committee. Dr. Reed stated that Dr. Smiley wrote him several weeks ago that a plot was on foot to take all matters per taining to the Sabbath school work from the hands of the board of pub lication. Reed Denies Plot. Dr. Reed said that he had investi gated these charges and found no evidence of such a plot. He stated further ehat the Sabbath school work was one of the most important parts of church work, and that the home mission board desired to retain con trol of it for another year. A motion was next made and car ried by a majority of about ten to put control of the Sabbah school work back in the hands of the board of publication. This motion later was killed. An amendment was then made ami unanimously carried that the present arrangement be continued until nexi year. This leaves control in the bands of the home mission board, and abolishes Dr. Smiley’s of fice. It was decided that The Christian Instructor be disposed of at the best possible terms and ns early as pos sible. the committee having found that it was being operated at a loss of about $500 a month.

Gladys Hanson, as she is known to fame, beautiful Atlanta actress who has just come back home for a six- weeks’ vacation, stopped serving tea and leaned forward. She was at her country place out on Cleburne Ave nue. "The truth is this: The limelight is always turned, full force, on the stage when it is not on other profes sions. As soon as art actress does an imprudent or perhaps an unconven tional thing, the news immediately spreads—and it gathers force as It spreads. Elsewhere there is less pub licity, and therefore a better chance for covering things up, that’s all." Urges Stage for Girls. Miss Hanson, who belongs to one of Georgia’s oldest families, and w ho is in love with her art to her finger tips. has just finished a successful ten-months’ season with David Be- lasco in "The Governor’s Lady." In the six years she has been on the stage she has been wonderfully suc cessful, having been with Frohman, Sothern and other big directors be sides Belasco. She strongly advo cates the stage as a profession for young women. "There never have been such op- Miss Gladys Hanson Snook. portunities for capable young wom en as there are to-day.” she de clared, dropping a bit of lemon into a cup of tea, "and really it’s almost nonsense to talk about stage evils and morals at all. The stigma that for merly attached to the theater is al most a thing of the past, for the sim ple reason that people have come more and more to realize that im morality is not confined to class, but is purely individual. More Actors of Big Brains. "Also year by year the stage is being more and more occupied by per sons of big brains—big souls—people who are realities, and who are there because of the big ‘call.’ ” "And that ‘call’ is the great thing," she stressed. "I don’t care what you say. When people follow their star, as it were—when they feel the burn ing of the ‘spark’ inside and set out to give it expression, it means the development of soul. And people of great souls can only be good. "I grant this." she said, depreeat- ingly. "the world looks upon the stagt from an outsider’s standpoint, and, therefore, can only criticise from that angle, which may he entirely wrong. "For instance, many times I hav? seen a man rush back to a dressing room, where the actress with whom he was to appear was in negligee and making up, to run over the lines in a coming scene. But I only wish that the public might see how in earnest it all is. Had to Ignore Convention. “The man is not sure of himself in Wife Digs Miner’s Body From Cave-in OROVILLE. CAL., May 20.—Frank Martin, a miner, was killed by -a land slide on his property along the Feath er River, near Oroville. He was found entombed in the dirt by his wife, who went to hunt for him when he did not return to his home at the usual time. She made her ghastly discovery and found her husband crushed and dead, buried in the earth and rock that had fallen on him. She returned to her cabin for help and with the aid of her children dug the body from its un timely grave. DRUG.

Breen, of wrapping up some "sticks" which Breen called "the juice" in pieces of newspaper and of his having asked Breen. "What does this mean?” Here is what Collins de clared was Breen's answer: "What does it mean '.’ It means that I will be Mayor of this city some day. Man. there are millions behind me in this. Do you know Wood? Well, then, just you watch the papers to morrow. You will see what it means."

The thought of everything is sunk in the play. He talks his lines in quick, high tones, and she comes in with hers to meet him. And the moment that is done he rushes out like mad to get ready to ‘go on.’ “Don’t you ever believe." Miss Han son emphasized, "that the rules in practically all theaters are not strict. And in high-class houses it is prac- I tieally the same as in your own home. The people are all big people—they're men and women—they’re not ’ silly j nincompoops! "Again, if a girl enters the pro fession. she can be sure that if she gets with a good director—and there are more good ones than otherwise — she is going to be pushed along to success—not only by her own effort, but by his—for he is just as anxious for her to make good as she is to make good herself. Finds Splendid Associates. "She will usually find a number of splendid women to associate with, too —if she’ll keep her eyes open—and also a number of broad-minded men. There’s whe e she may learn many things about her art—they will all help her—and that and working hard will get her her to the top if she has any ‘possibilities’ at all. If for no other reason, 1 would have been glad I had gone on the stage simply for fhe people I have met." Miss Hanson expects to go abroad for the summer. She will return the latter part of August for rehearsals, being again with Belasco. She and Emma Dunn, one of her best friends, will again appear for a time in "The Governor's Lady,” later taking up oth er work Mr. Belasco has not yet made public. While in Atlanta Miss Snook expects to be quite a great deal with her friends, a number of parties hav ing been planned for her. Calls Atlanta Hers, Too. Speaking of Atlanta things, she said it almost made her angry—that is. it would if she wasn’t so even-tempered, for which she took credit to herself— when she was out and people asked her how she liked "our" country club, or "our" city—or other things. "Why, it’s mine, too,” she said. ‘T don't feel that just because I'm away in the winter this isn’t my home. Why. I grew up here and I belong to the place! Of,course, it’s usually stran gers. who don’t know, who ask me things like that; but. all the same, it gives me'a funny little feeling around my heart.

The author has been grossly misinformed and mistaken. In the first place, the annulling of the agreement of 1870 was done on the advice of two dis tinguished lawyers. Who advised the directors they had gone too far under the provisions in the charter in mak ing the agreement at all .” Resents Charges. Dr. Brown named the men who had been in charge of the affairs of the seminary for years as an evidence that it had been in the hands of capable, God-fearing directors and instructors. He grew bitter when he came to comment on the arraignment of Wil liam Adams Brown, professor of sys tematic theology in the seminary. "That criticism was most unjust and unwarranted." declared President Brown. "Professor Brown is one of the most ardent, earnest and sin cere EWesbyterians in this Assembly. So to attack his religious principles was cruel and not supported by any evidence. Terms were used that never should be used by one Chris tian in reference to another Christian or to any human being. "That reference, too, to Hindu philosophy was a simple travesty— a simple travesty! I find it more dif ficult to be calm at this time. I don’t want to lose my temper, but such unjust and unsupported charges have been hurled at this seminary that re straint is not wholly possible. “Asks Nothing.” "Remember that the seminary asks nothing, seeks nothing. It is not rep resented here voluntarily. It cam«4 , on invitation. We want to be of ser vice to the Presbyterian Church, but if you can not use us, we do not care to try. "The members of the faculty have given evidences of their Christian faith that should be accepted if the matter is considered at all. I hold, however, that discussion on the sec ond minority report should have no place on this floor, as the report was,^ never made a subject of conference. * . "In regard to the students going * forth from our seminary, I want to deny the scurrilous stories which have gone forth about the country'. There is not a single man from the seminary who has been licensed by a presbytery who has denied his belief in the atoning work of Jesus, the res urrection of the Lord and the other fundamental doctrines concerning which we have been accused of lack of faith.” Dr. Brown Loses Poise. Dr. Brown spoke quietly and with out any evidence of rancor until he came to discuss the charges of Chris tian infidelity lodged against his sem inary and its faculty. Then his voice rose and he lost the poise that had characterized his calm discussion of the legal phase of the seminary’s ac tion in abrogating the agreement of 1870. The friends of the seminary ap plauded lightly when Dr. Brown was finished, despite the injunction of the moderator that there was to be no manifestation whatever of approval or disapproval. ii t I
