NEXT TEAR, SAYS STELZLE
Harder to Unite Presbyterian Churches
I han to Bring Together North and
South After War, He Declares.
By REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
“When 1 came here fort.v nine years ago, it was in the spirit
of war. When I returned tiie other day, it was in the spirit of
the Prince of Peace," was 1 he way General Robert N. Adams, of
Minneapolis put it when addressing the Northern Presbyterian
Assembly yesterday. General Adams has -been preaching the mes
sage of the Prince of Peace for a good many years.
After the war he became a »
preacher, going to the rough re- r-, . VT ■

the church than it does to get to- . . .
gether the citizens of the Republic.
Religious prejudice dies hard. This j
has been made apparent in some of
the meetings of the assemblies. But J
it isn’t altogether prejudice, either,
that keeps men apart. It is often
■sincere devotion to truth, and it of- i
ten happens that both opponents have,
right on their side. Men change their
political faiths far more readily than
they do their religious convictions.
Churches Working Together.
But it is still true that men with
different religious beliefs are work
ing together far more generally than
do men with different political be
liefs. It isn’t often that the Demo
crats and the Republicans sit down
to map out a campaign which is to
bring neither of them profit nor
glory. So yop Atlantans who have
been smiling at what sometimes
seemed like a religious row don’t for
get that the politicians haven't come
anywhere near the church in unity
and co-operation.
The Southern Assembly yesterday
demonstrated that fact just stated
by deciding to remain within the Fed
eral (’ouncil of Churches. And it
wasn't a very easy thing to do. either,
for there were many things that hurt
when they voted favorably upon the
resolution. So*strongly did it affect
one veteran who has been fighting
“the battles of the Lord” that he im
pulsively surrendered his seat as a
commissioner, hut he showed his real }
greatness by coming back in the aft
ernoon. repentant. This commissioner
has real convictions. He’s been suf
fering on account of them.
Prejudice Giving Way.
But it has been revealed in the
meetings of these Assemblies that
every denominational prejudice and
all sectarian passion must give way
before the spirit of which General
Adams spoke—the spirit of the Prince
of Peace. There's no other way.
Next year will undoubtedly see the
bringing together into one denomina
tion of the United Presbyterian and
the Southern Assemblies. Then the
Northern Assembly will unite with
the Reformed Church of the United
States. The plan is already set up.
It simply requires a little more time,
for such matters can not be rushed..
Then, perhaps, some time in the near
future all these bodies will get to
gether.
in many respects the Protestant
Churches of the United States are
already in one group, working out
some great problems. Yesterday the
Northern Assembly listened to Dr.
Charles S. Macfarland, Secretary of
the Federal Council. He brought
greetings from thirty denominations
and 20,000.000 • Protestants in this
country. These groups are working
harmoniously for the building p of
a great Kingdom of God in America,
and they’re building fast. Then the
Assembly listened to Dr. David- L.
Wylie, who represented the “Alli
ance of Reformed Churches, holding
the Presbyterian System of Belief.”
In this long-named society there are
30.000.000 Protestants, in every part
of the world, who believe in the Pres
byterian doctrine. And 30,000,000
Presbyterians can wield some influ
ence in the world. They’re doing it,
too. but this isn't a subject that one
of them can freely talk about.
Sees Church Unity.
Other fraternal delegates .'•'poke to,
the Assembly, each of them repre
senting a very considerable group of
Christian men and women working in
some part of the globe in the spirit ot
the # “Prince of Peace.” and most of
them expressed a longing for the time
when “all should he one.”
“When I returned the other day. it
was in the spirit of the Prince of
Peace." said General Adams. With
out fear of serious contradiction, tin
commissioners who to-day close their
sessions in Atlanta may say that
when another Genera! Assembly—of
any of the three branches that have
been here for ten days—meets in this
city, it will represent not merely one
of the three, but all of them.

Slielby Smith Says Convicts Are
Too Tired to Hear Preaching
at Night Through Week.
< 'barges by George W. Frabtree. a
Presbyterian prison evangelist, that
Fulton Fount.v convicts are cruelly
treated by guards under Fa plain Tom
Donaldson, feave brought a denial
from Shelby Smith, chairman of the
Fulton County Prison Commission.
The evangelist said he was pro
hibited from holding evangelistic
services in the camp save on Sunday.
Chairman Smith denies the cruelty
charges, but admits the other, saying
the welfare of the prisoners demands
that no services he held on working
days. •
Further titan to deny cruel treat
ment, Captain Donaldson declined to
answer the charges made against him.
Chairman Smith himself had little
to say except about the evangelistic
services.
“Among the 700 prisoners in this
county are ten murderers and many
other desperate characters, who obvi
ously make many restrictions ‘neces
sary,” he said. "They work hard
every day. and when they get through
they need a bath and a good night’s
rest. To hold religious services at
night, after a hard day’s work, would
he impractical for the prisoners, im
practical for the guards and imprac
tical for the other attendants. I favor
holding religious services only or?

Rain Spoils Jobbers'
Day at Ball Park
Friday has been hilled as Jobbers
j and Ladies' Day at Ponce DeLeon
Park, but with the rain falling stead
ily. prospects are that the game will
have to be postponed.
“Jobbers’ Day" was arranged oy
Vice President Charles Nunnally of
the Atlanta Baseball Association in
honor of tiie jobbers of Georgia and
Alabama, who are in session at tiie
Piedmont Hotel.
The plan was to give tiie visitors
an automobile trip around the city,
winding up at the hail park. The rain
god is holding sway, though, and the
jobbers are planning to sit quietly
about the hotel and rejoice with the
fanners over the saving of the crop.
Court Is Baffled by
Trust Co. Statistics
Judge Pendleton. lost in the wilder
ness of figures in the Guarantee Trust
and Banking Company case, wants h
Moses to lead him out. and Friday
morning named C. J. Metz for the
task.
Even a blackboard failed to make
the figures submitted by audi
tors and the two sets of attorneys
“gee.” and Judge Pendleton named
Mr. Metz to secure the information
essential in deciding whether or not
a receivership is necessary.
The task is expected to take two
weeks, and the case has been ad
journed for that length of time.
