THF ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT* NEWS. FRIDAY. MAY 28. 1918. 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-, .

But 1 ;l nce near his home kept his family it seems to be more difficult to unite from sleeping. 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.

SHARPLY DEN I ED 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? Sunday.” The Sunday American goes*every- where all over the South.
