Attempt
to Save Church and
Rural Life Department Fails
in Assembly.
Defenders of the church and coun
try life department of the Board of
Home Missions went down to an in
glorious parliamentary defeat at the
forenoon session of the Northern
Presbyterian Assembly.
As a result the report of the exec
utive commission stands thai this de
partment "shall he discontinued as
soon as practicable.”
Every attempt to revise this deci
sion ran against a stone wall in the
rulings of the moderator. One com
missioner after another essayed to
speak on the report, but each was told
that no question formally was before
the assembly.
Rev. John Deans, of Brooklyn. N.
Y.. asked what interpretation was to
he made of "as soon as practicable"—
that given bv Dr. Mark A. Matthews
in presenting tiu^report Wednesday, or
that he gave Thursday, or the one he
presented Friday morning.
Rev. Deans was informed that he
was to accept the final explanation.
Rev. T. M. Hall, of the Erie. Pa.. Pres
bytery. sought to introduce a resolu
tion bearing on the subject, but was
ruled out of order.
Bars Recons'deration.
As a final recourse. on« of the com
missioners moved for a reconsidera
tion of the portion of the executive
commission's report hearing on the
department of church and country
life. Moderator Stone ran his eye
over the house and ruled that two-
thirds of the original assembly con
sidering the question must be presen*
to vote on a reconsideration. It was
the moderator’s assumption that the
two-thirds was not In tlie audito
rium.
Although the church and country
life advocates were forced to acce.pt
defeat in their fight to establish the
department permanently as a part of
the Board of Home Missions’ activi
ties, those at the head of the work
declared that they would be able to
accomplish ’this at the next general
assembly.
"We will simply continue the de
partment through the year and then
come before the next Assembly on
our record." is the statement made
Friday of their contemplated plan of
campaign.
Professing Christians who -epend
Sundays in their automobiles or on
the golf course came in for unre
strained criticism from Rev. Fred
erick .1 Sauber. of Marcellus. N. Y..
who submitted the report of the com
mittee on Christian life and work.
Apathy Blamed for Vice.
The apathy and indifference of
Christian people was blamed by Dr.
Sauber for the rapid progress which
the white slave evil has rrvade. He
called attention to the falling away
from the church of the younger gen
eration and ■’ aded for more active
evangelistic work. Judging by the
figures of additions to church mem
bership. he • Mim.ited that it required
about a half hundred persons one
year to get one new member into the
church.
W H. Houston, secretary of the
vacancy and supply department of
the Presbyterian Church, said that
there wc n 3.000 \ oung men in the
country who had .studied for tin
Presbyterian ministry who were still
without pulpiis. while there were
many churches about the country
without preachers. Hie department,
he paid, was for the purpose of re
lieving this situation He asked fiv*-
years for a trial of the new plan.
Drug Traffic Attacked.
Looking towafd the remedying ol
these conditions, the Assembly voted
to Instruct the moderator and stated
clerk to write, through any of the As
stmbly boards, to every minister of
the church urgin- him to bring to the
attention of every family in hi
church the needs of the ministry for
young men.
A strong resolution against inter
state traffic in opium, cocaine and
other similar dugs w is introduced bv
Dr C A. R Javier, of Philadelphia,
and passed by the unanimous vote.of
th< Ass* mbly.
"The United States was in the lead
of the mov< men; to If. : .*'matio-i ■
traftb in rho drugs." said Dr. Janvier,
"but within her own borders the traf

Truce on Hubbert.
When no further movement was
made Friday in the effort to oust the
Rev. J M. Hubbert from his position
as Assistant Stated Clerk of the As
sembly. it became known that a truce
had been patched up between his (
friends and William H. Roberts, the
Stated Clerk. Dr. Roberts bad been
working hard to have the office of
assistant abolished. He gave econ
omy as his reason for recommending
the change The office pays $3,000
annually. I
The members of the large Chicago 1
delegation were happy to-day i
the unanimous acceptance of tlie* ifbs
citation of the Fourth Presbyterian
Church of that city for the 1914 As-
>embly. This is the church of which
Moderator Stone is tho pastor. The
First Presbyterian Church of Atlantic
City, N. J., was the only other candi
date 1 or next yea r, but t he lndtcat Ions
are that there will be a hot tight on
for the privilege of entertaining the
commissioners in 191 ft.
The resignation of Duncan J Mc
Millan from the Board of Chur h
Erection. which was announced
Thursday afternoon, was not entire
ly unexpected. Dr. McMillan had been
known not to be in sympathy with
many of the moves of'the board in
j the past. His stand on the John S.
J Kennedy memorial fund was tlie flnil
straw that made his resignation vi r -
tually a foregone conclusion. He was
i bitterly opposed to placing it in the
loan fund, contending that it was i’-
legal. When the Assembly voted, al
most unanimously, to place it in the
loan fund, he announced that he could
no longer serve.
Tribute Paid Roberts.
Resolutions of respect and thanks
were passed in honor of Stated Clerk
Roberts in view of the fact that he
had reached the thirtieth anniversary
of his election to the clerkship of the
assembly. The resolutions noted thal
nearly two million dollars of the
church’s money had passed through
his hands and that he had done more
for church co-operation than any
other member of the denomination.
He was given a leave of absence for
two months to make the foreign trip
with the commission which is seeking
to bring about a world alliance of
Christian religions. Dr. Roberts re
sponded feelingly to the tributes paid
him.
Woodward also instructed the police
■tot to molest Roper. a3 he was con•
ileiing an application for pardon.
Rop< r is still at liberty, nothing more
having been heard from the Mayor.
Another instance referred to by Re
order Broyles in his interview' was
the Dan Shaw case. Shaw was know n
as the "blind tiger king" and received
a twelve-month sentence in the
county chaingang and a 30-day sen
tence in the city stockade. Governor
Brown pardoned him on the chain-
gang sentence, with the stipulation
that Shaw would leave Georgia and
go back to Virginia. Appeal was made
to Judge Broyles to remit the stock
ade sentence of 30 days, but he de
clined. Mayor Woodward granted
this pardon ,
Mattie Lou White was convicted in
November, 1912, on a blind tiger
charge in connection with an im
morality charge. She was fined $500
nr 30 days, and bound over to the
State courts. The senlence given by
Broyles was sustained by the Court
of Appeals and her arrest was or
dered.
Woman Also Is Free.
She had been out on bond since the
time of her arrest. She appealed to
the Mayor and was given a letter to
the police instructing them not to mo
lest her. as he was considering her
appeal for a pardon. She is still at
liberty. The letter is dated May 7.
R. L. Dixon, the man who was con
victed on an immorality charge in
connection with Mattie Lou White, is
confined in the city jail and will begin
the servng of his stockade term. The
White woman called upon him at po
lice headquarters this morning. Judge
Broyles points out this case as an in
stance of how the court's work is be
ing hampered, charging that the seri
ous violators of the law are at liber
ty. while Dixon, who is held on a
lighter charge, is serving his sen
tence.
