T TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.FRIDAY. MAY 23, 1913. WITH THE BEST INTENTION •I" ' «M. 1913, by Intornattonnl N’pwh S#*rvn » Attempt to Save Church and Rural Life Department Fails in Assembly. Defenders of the < hurcfi and ( min- try life department of the Hoard of Home Missions went down to an in glorious parliamentary defeat at the forenoon session < f the Northern Presbyterian Assembl\. As a result the* report of the exec utive commission stands that tills de partment "shall be 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. »»f Brooklyn. N. Y., asked what interpretation was to be made of “as soon as practicable’’ — that uiv. n b> I>r. Mark A. Matthews • n presenting t ac i c|»ort 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 tlie Erie. Pa., Pres bytery, sought to introduce a resolu tion bearing on the subject, but was ruled out of ordei. Bars Reconsideration. As a final recourse, one of the com missioners moved for a reconsidera tion of the portion of the executive commission’s report bearing 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 present to vote on a reconsideration, it was the moderator’s assumption that the two-thirds was not in the audito rium. Although the church and country life advocates were forced to accept 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 i our record." is the- statement made Friday of their contemplated plan of • campaign Professing Ohristians who epend j Sundays in their automobiles or on the golf course came in for unre strained criticism from Rev Fred erick J. Suuber. of Mut< *• lltj.«, N. V. who submitted the report of-the com mittee on Christian life and work, Apathy Blamed for Vice. The a pa tin and indifference of • ’hristian people was blamed by Dr. Sauber for the rapid progress which the white slave evil has. made. He called attention to the falling away from the church of the younger gen eration and ’ leaded for more active evangelistic work. Judging by the figures of addition? to church mem fcership, he estimated 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 d. partnnmt of the Presbyterian (’hurch, said that there were 3,000 young men in the country who had studied for lie Presbyterian ministry who were still without pulpits, while there were many churches about the country without preachers Hi • department, he said, was for the purpose of re lieving this situation. He asked f1v< years for a trial of the new plan. Drug Traffic Attacked. Looking toward the remedying of these conditions, the Assembly vote.1 to instruct the moderator and stated clerk to write, through any of the As sembly boards, to every minister ol the church urgin ■ him to bring to tiv attention of ever> family in hie church the needs of the ministry for young men. A strong r it e n against in tel state tram< in opium, cocaine and other similar dugs was introduced by Dr. (’. A. R. Javier, of Philadelphia, and passed by the unanimous vote of the Asst mbly.

Dr. .McMillan had been known not to be in sympathy with many of tin* moves of the board in th>' past.
