TF1E ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS,
NEXT YEAR, SAYS STELZLE
HardertoUnitc Presbyterian Churches
Than to Bring Together North and
South After War, He Declares.
By REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
“When ! came here forty-nine years apo, it was in the spirit
of war. When l returned the other day, it was in tin spirit of
the Prince of Peace," was the way (icneral Hubert X. Adams, of
Minneapolis put it when addressing the Northern Presbyterian
'Assembly yesterday. General Adams lias been preaching the mes
sage of the Prince of Peace for a good many years.
After the war he became a

That Annoy Chicago!
.For a long time he has been su
perintendent of home missions
in the State of Minnesota, re
tiring a short time ago on ac
count of impaired health. He
marched into Atlanta with Gen
eral Sherman and is the only
surviving general of the famous
group that followed Sherman
“from Atlanta'to the sea.’ -
“Not only a united republic, but a
united church." is the message that
General Adams is now preaching. But
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
has been made apparent in some of
the meetings of the assemblies. But
it isn’t altogether prejudice, cither,
. 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 religiou- convictions.
Churches Working Together.
But Jt 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 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
by 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
commissioner, but 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
State?. The plan is already set up.
It simply requires a little more time,
for such matters can riot 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 up of
p great Kingdom of God 1n America,
fand they’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 30.000.nno
Presbyterians can wield some influ
ence in the world. They’re doing it.
too but this isn't a subject tha‘. one
of them can freely talk about.
Sees Church Unity.
Other fraternal delegates spoke to
the Assembly, each of them repre
senting a very considerable group of
Christian men and women working \r.
some part of the globe in the spirit of
the "Prince of Peace.” and most of
them expressed a longing for the time
when "all should be 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, the
commissioners who to-day close their
sessions in Atlanta may say that
when another General 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.

ORAN, ALGERIA. May 23.—Word
was received here to-day from the in

t’harg'-s by George W. Crabtree, a
Presbyterian prison evangelist, that
Fulton County convicts are cruelly
treated b\ guards under Captain Tom
Donaldson, have 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 SundaN.
Chairman Smith denies the cruelty
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 th< 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
be impractical for the prisoners, im
practical for the guards and imprac
tical for the other attendants. J favor
holding religious services only or
Sunday.”

‘Hookists’ Plan Union
CHICAGO, May 23.—Ladies’ maids
in Chicago are in open revolt, and
efforts were being made to get enough
of them in rebellion to form a union,
affiliated with the new' Household

organize are "hookists,” private hair
dressers and private manicures.
The "hookists” declare that present
styles, which compel them to hook a
250-pound woman into a tube gown
designed for the lines of a 120-pound
figure, are giving them the "lacers'
arm,” akin to the "housemaids’ knee.”
