7 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 Seats on Sale for Players’ Club Showj S«*nt sale of. "The Importance uf Be ing Earnest,” to be presented by the Atlanta Players’ Club May 30, begins to-day. ' This year’s performance is expected to prove the most brilliant of any given by the club. Which comprises talented amateurs from the ranks of Atlanta society. Leading roles will be taken by Mrs. John Marshall Sla ton. Mi-s Hildreth Burton-Smith, La nar ilill and Marsh Adair. After the performance the annual j inner of the Atlanta Players’ Club' will be given on the lawn of the Piedmont Driving Club, followed by a dance.

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. CHICAGO, May 23. -When a City Council committee began its in vestigation of unnecessary noise in Chicago, protests were entered against roosters, pet dogs, a cow. mo- torcyeles, electric pianos and practic ing voice lessons*. Alderman Nance, chairman of the committee, read to the committeemen, a list of noises against which he had received complaints, which includ'd chiming church bells at El a. rn.. shout ing of peddlers, poli. men's whistles, rumbling of elevated trains, and on** man wrote that a cabaret perform ance near his home kept his family ST. LOUIS. May 23.- The Missouri Senate wage investigating committee to-das was surprised to learn from the testimony of Frank J.

Sloan also said that the women were paid $5 a week and two meals a day. and that when they were away from work on account of Sickness they were docked.

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.” Rain Spoils Jobbers' Day at Ball Park • f i idav has been billed as Jobbers | and Ladles' Day at Ponce DeLeon i ikirk. but with the rain falling stead- MB', prospects are that the game will have to be postponed. ‘Jobbers’ Day" was arranged ov Vice President Charles Nunnally of the Atlanta Baseball Association in honor of the jobbers of Georgia and Alabama, who are in session at the Piedmont Hotel. The plan was to give the visitors an automobile trip around th< winding up at the ball park.
