General Adams is now preaching. But
it seems to be more difficult to unite
the church than it does to get to
gether the citizens of the Republic, j
Religious prejudice dies hard. This
has been made apparent in sown of
the meetings of. the assemblies. But
It isn’t altogether prejudice, either,
that keeps men apart. It is often
sincere devotion to truth, and it of
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 1s 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 you 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
oy deciding to remain within the Fed -
eral Council 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
commission »r. but he showed his real I
greatness h coming back in the aft
ernoon, repe.-tant. 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 pa-sion must give way
before the spirit of which General
Adams spoke—the spirit of the Prince
Of Peace. There's no other way.
Wxt year wilDundoubtedly 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
spme great'problems. Yesterday the
Northern Assembly listened to Dr
Charles S. Macfuiand, Secretary of
the Federal Council. Lie brought
greetings from thirty denominations
and 20,000.000 Protestants in this
country. These groups are working
harmoniously. for the building up of
a great Kingdom of God in America,
and thev’re building fast. Then the
Assembly listened to Dr. David G.
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,ftf‘ r >.000
Presbyterians can wield some influ
ence in the world. They’re doing it.

when "all should be one.”
"When I returned the other day. it

Shelby Smith Says Convicts Are
Too Tired to Hear Preaching
at Night Through Week.
Charges by George \V. Crabtree, a
Presbyterian prison evangelist, that
Fulton County convicts are cruelly
treated by guards urwler Captain Tom
Donaldson, have brought a denial
from Shelby Smith, chairman of the
Fulton County Prison Commission.•
The evangelist said be was pro
hibited from holding evangelistic
services in the camp save on Sunday.
Chairman Smith denies the orueltj
charges, but admits the other, saying
the welfare of the prisoners demands
that no services be held on working
days.
Further than 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 TOO 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
be impractical for the prisoners, im
practical for the guards and imprac
tical for the other attendants. I favor
holding religious services only or
Sunday.”
