MINUTES 


Kansas  City,  Mo.,  May  21,  1914. 

The  Fifty-fourth  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church 
in  the  United  States  met  at  11  :oo  a.  m.  today  in  the  Central  Presbyterian 
Church,  and  was  opened  with  a  sermon  by  Rev.  J.  S,  Lyons,  D.  D.,  the 
Moderator  of  the  last  Assembly,  from  Proverbs  29:18  and  Jeremiah 
i:ii:  "Where  there  is  no  vision  the  people  perish."  "Moreover  the 
word  of  the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying,  Jeremiah,  what  seest  thou?" 

The  Assembly  was  then  led  in  prayer  by  the  Moderator. 

The  Assembly  then,  in  accordance  with  the  action  of  the  Bristol 
Assembly,  entered  into  the  celebration  of  the  Lord's  Supper,  Rev.  E. 
C.  Gordon,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  C.  W.  Sommerville,  D.  D.,  officiating. 

The  Stated  Clerk  announed  that  he  had  been  officially  informed  of 
the  consolidation  by  the  Synod  of  Texas  of  the  Presbyteries  of  Dallas 
and  Panhandle,  under  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  of  Dallas.  And 
also,  by  the  Synod  of  South  Carolina,  of  the  erection  of  a  new 
Presbytery,  which  has  chosen  the  name  of  Congaree.  But  as  it  was 
expressly  provided  that  the  changes  made  by  the  Synod  should  not  go 
into  effect  until  after  the  spring  meetings  of  the  Presbyteries  affected, 
the  reports  were  made  up,  the  Commissioners  to  the  Assembly  elected, 
and  the  assessments  paid  by  the  Presbyteries  as  formerly  constituted, 
no  Commissioners  are  present  from  the  new  Presbytery.

Relief  and  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Sys- 
tematic Beneficence. 

The  partial  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Christian  Edu- 
cation and  Ministerial  Relief,  with  reference  to  the  Home  and  School, 
was  read  and  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

PARTIAL    REPORT    OF    STANDING    COMMITTEE    ON    CHRISTIAN 
EDUCATION  AND  MINISTERIAL  RELIEF. 

1.  We  recommend  that  Overture  No.  38,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Montgom- 
ery, in  regard  to  making  some  separation  of  Ministerial  Relief  from  the  other 
causes,  be  referred  to  the  Standing  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence. 

2.  That  in  response  to  Overture  No.  35  from  the  Synod  of  Virginia,  touch- 
ing the  transfer  of  the  ownership  and  control  of  "The  Assembly's  Home  and 
School"  to  said  Synod,  the  said  institution  be  turned  over  to  the  said  Synod,  sub- 
ject to  the  following  conditions  of  transfer  recommended  by  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief: 

1.  The  SjTiod  shall  so  change  the  name  that  there  may  be  as  little  confusion 
as  possible. 

2.  No  appeals  for  the  Synodical  Institution  shall  be  made  outside  the 
bounds  of  the  Synod  of  Virginia.  As  there  has  constantly  been  misapprehension 
as  to  this  institution,  the  work  of  which  has  been  virtually  the  same  as  that 
of  Ministerial  Relief,  the  whole  number  of  beneficiaries  of  Ministerial  Relief, 
both  in  Virginia  and  the  other  Sy-nods,  must  suffer  unless  this  plan  is  strictly 
adhered  to. 

3.  Money  remitted  from  outside  the  Synod  of  Virginia  for  "The  Assembly's 
Home  and  School,"  either  directly  to  Fredericksburg  or  to  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee, shall  be  used,  with  the  consent  of  the  donors,  for  the  work  of  Ministerial 
Relief,  by  the  Executive  Committee. 

4.  Any  legacies  becoming  available  for  "The  Assembly's  Home  and  School," 
shall  be  used  for  the  work  of  Ministerial  Relief,  unless  it  can  be  clearly  shown 
to  the  General  Assembly  that  this  will  be  contrary  to  the  wish  of  the  legator. 

5.  All  debts  and  claims  against  the  Institution  must  be  assumed  and 
satisfied  by  the  Synod  of  Virginia  before  the  transfer  is  made. 

6.  The  property  shall  revert  to  the  General  Assembly  for  the  work  of 
Ministerial  Relief  in  case  the  Synod  abandons  the  institution. 


We  believe  the  General  Assembly  should  also  reaffirm  its  conviction,  that: 

1.  The  plan  of  providing  money  for  needy  families  without  the  great  ad- 
ministrative and  institutional  cost  of  a  community  is  the  wisest  and  most 
economical  way  to  administer  the  work  of  Ministerial  Relief,  because,  (i) 
families  can  live  where  it  is  cheapest  and  most  healthful  and  agreeable;  (2) 
where  they  can  be  near  friends  and  relatives;  (3)  where  they  may  be  free 
from  the  depressing  effects  of  living  in  a  community  in  which  so  many  mem- 
bers are  suffering  from  the  same  sorrow ;  (4)  where  they  may  have  the  super- 
vision of  sessions,  deacons  and  chairmen  of  Presbyterial  Committees  of  Minis- 
terial Relief  where  the  husband  was  known  and  honored;  (5)  where  the 
widow  and  children  at  their  convenience  can  find  employment. 

2.  That  the  expense  of  conducting  a  college  for  the  children  of  deceased 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  23 

ministers  is  not  warranted,  and  that  those  who  are  willing  and  possess  the  ability 
to  take  a  college  education,  be  referred  to  our  well  established  Presbyterian 
Colleges  which  will  furnish  free  tuition  for  them. 

J  NO.  L  Armstrong,  Chairman. 

In  accordance  with  the   above  action,   the   following  resolution 
was  adopted : 

Resolved,  That  the  Executive  Committee  of  Christian  Education  and 
Ministerial  Relief  be  and  is  hereby  authorized  to  transfer  to  the  Synod  of 
Virginia  the  property  of  the  Assembly's  Home  and  School,  under  the  provisions 
of  the  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial 
Relief.

the  Special  Committee  on  the  Training  School  for  Lay  Workers  met  in  Rich- 
mond, Virginia,  February  5,  1914,  for  the  purpose  of  locating  the  school  if  a

teen years  ago  and  has  been  increasing  in  value  ever  since. 

(2).  "We  engage  to  provide  a  suitable  building,  or  buildings,  with  ample 
accommodations  for  any  number  of  students  who  may  attend  the  school  dur-

of  Directors,  to  be  appointed  by  the  General  Assembly. 

(4).  "We  guarantee  that  the  General  Assembly  shall  not  be  held  financially

ings erected  thereon  within  these  three  years,  or  of  the  maintenance  of  the 
school  during  these  three  years."

sembly. 

The  report  was  then  adopted,  and  is  as  follows: 

BIBLE  CAUSE. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  tlie  Bible  Cause  has  had  placed  in  its  hands 
the  report  of  the  Permanent  Committee,  a  communication  from  Dr.  John  Fox, 
Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  American  Bible  Society,  and  an  abstract  of  the 
98th  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Managers  of  the  American  Bible  Society. 
From  these  sources  of  information  your  Committee  formulates  the  following 
report : 

The  past  year  has  been  another  of  progress  and  of  unusual  success  in  the 
Society's  work  of  Bible  Distribution,  both  at  home  and  abroad.  The  distribution 
in  the  United  States  through  the  nine  Home  agencies  was  one  million,  seventy- 
six  thousand,  four  hundred  and  fifty-nine  volumes  in  about  eighty  different 
languages.  This  is  an  advance  of  two  hundred  and  eighty  thousand,  two  hun- 
dred and  twenty-two  volumes  over  the  preceding  year.  This  takes  no  account 
of  the  general  circulation  by  the  American  Bible  Society  to  the  trade,  or  the 
circulation  effected  by  the  Auxiliarj'  and  other  local  Bible  Societies. 

The  total  issues  for  the  year  amount  to  5,251,176  volumes.  This  is  an  ad- 
vance over  1913  of  1,201,566  volumes.  Nearly  one-half  of  these  volumes,  or 
2,327,390,  were  sent  out  from  the  Bible  House  in  New  York,  which  is  an  in- 
crease of  219,531  volumes  over  the  preceding  year.  2,923,786  volumes  were 
issued  by  the  Society's  agents  abroad. 

The  total  issue  of  the  Society  in  the  ninety-eight  years  amounts  to  one  hun- 
dred and  three  million,  five  hundred  and  nineteen  thousand,  eight  hundred  and 
ninety-one  (103,519,891)  volumes. 

The  Society  has  just  completed,  as  to  the  number  of  volumes  distributed, 
the  most  successful  year  in  its  history. 

The  greatest  blessing,  however,  that  has  come  to  the  Society  during  its 
long  Ufe  of  effective  service  is  not  this  ever-increasing  number  of  volumes  dis- 
tributed ;  but  the  fact  that  in  the  Providence  of  God  the  Society  is  now  face  to 
face  with  the  whole  world  open  to  and  crying  for  the  whole  Bible.  Believing 
that  God  writes  our  duties  with  the  alphabet  of  His  Providence,  the  Society  ac- 
cepts the  whole  world  open  for  the  whole  Bible,  as  its  duty  to  take  the  whole 
Bible  to  the  whole  world. 

A  task  so  gigantic  involves  thorough  organization  of  forces,  careful  exe- 


30  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

cution  of  plans,  the  expenditures  of  great  energy  and  vast  amounts  of  money. 
That  the  Society,  as  the  agent  and  servant  of  the  Church,  is  endeavoring  to  ful- 
fill its  mission,  may  be  seen,  we  think,  from  the  following,  viz : 

1.  That  the  Society  is  working  directly  through  twelve  great  Agencies  lo- 
cated in  strategic  centers  in  foreign  lands,  and  nine  domestic  Agencies  as  dis- 
tributing points  for  the  United  States.  It  employs  an  army  of  twelve  hundred 
Bible  missionaries  scattered  in  every  part  of  the  globe. 

2.  That  the  American  Bible  Society  pays  for  the  following,  and  other 
similar  work,  done  for  our  Church,  thus  saving  our  denomination  large  sums  of 
money:  i. — Translations  or  revisions  of  the  Scriptures.  2. — Furnishing  the 
Word  at  cost  or  free  to  the  poor.  3. — Aiding  by  grants,  (a)  Missions  and 
slum  workers,  and  charitable,  philanthropic  and  reformatory  institutions;  (b) 
Foreign,  Home  Missionary,  Sunday  School  and  Church  Boards  for  denomina- 
tional use;  (c)  The  struggling  churches  of  pioneers  or  of  special  classes;  (d) 
The  blind  and  poor. 

Work  Among  Foreigners  in  the  United  States. 
We  would  call  special  attention  to  the  distribution  of  Scriptures  the  Society 
is  making  among  the  foreigners  in  this  land  of  ours.  Its  scope  may  be  recog- 
nized when  we  remember  that  the  distribution  has  been  in  eighty  languages  and 
its  significance  realized  when  we  are  told  that  the  number  of  volumes  has  been 
from  five  to  seventy  thousand  in  the  majority  of  these  tongues. 

Finances. 

The  present  budget  of  expenditures  is,  in  round  numbers,  $815,000.  The 
income  from  assured  sources  is  $400,000.  This  means  that  to  meet  the  world 
need  for  the  Bible,  at  least  $400,000  must  be  provided  for  by  the  friends  of  the 
Society. 

We  recommend :  First,  That  this  Assembly,  as  the  mouthpiece  of  our 
beloved  Church,  pledge  itself  to  a  larger  interest  in,  and  a  more  generous  sup- 
port of,  the  American  Bible  Society. 

Second:  That  the  Society  be  most  heartily  commended  to  the  generosity 
of  our  churches,  church  societies  and  Sunday  schools,  and  that  each  church  be 
urged  to  make  an  offering  to  the  same. 

Third:  That  our  pastors  and  sessions  be  earnestly  requested  to  bring  to 
the  attention  of  our  people  the  work  and  needs  of  the  Society,  and  to  provide 
for  it  in  the  every-member  canvass  where  made,  so  that  the  one  per  cent,  ap- 
portioned the  Society  among  the  Benevolent  Causes  of  the  Church  be  the 
minimum,  and  not  the  maximum  standard  of  our  gifts  to  this  work. 

Fourth :  In  view  of  the  fact  that  1916  will  be  the  centennial  of  the  Ameri- 
can Bible  Society,  that  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  by  the  Assembly,  who 
may  be  associated  with  like  committees  from  other  religious  bodies  in  co-opera- 
tion with  the  management  of  the  Society  in  their  plans  for  the  celebration  of  this 
noteworthy  event. 

Fifth :  We  recommend  that  the  following  Permanent  Committee  on  Bible 
Cause  be  appointed — Rev.  M.  B.  Porter,  Chairman;  Rev.  T.  R.  English,  D.  D., 
Rev.  E.  B.  McCluer,  D.  D. :  Elders  W.  S.  Rhoads  and  D.  K.  Kellogg.  And  we 
recommend  that  said  committee  be  made  the  Special  Committee  to  confer  with

strong  to  apprehend  with  all  the  saints  what  is  the  breadth  and  length  and

in  the  Theological  Seminary  of  Kentucky.

faithful  service  of  Rev.  Samuel  A.  King,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  Professor  of  Systematic 
Theology  in  Austin  Seminary,  recently  made  Professor  Emeritus.

Virgina  be  approved. 

5.  That  the  Assembly  express  its  pleasure  in  the  reports  which  show  addi- 
tional gifts  to  our  seminaries,  making  possible  broader  and  more  useful  courses 
of  instruction  and  providing  for  lecture  courses,  which  not  only  inform  those 
who  hear,  but  contribute  to  the  literature  of  our  Church. 

6.  The  Assembly  would  heartily  commend  the  seminaries  for  the  introduc- 
tion in  recent  years  of  courses  of  instruction  in  voice  culture  and  expression, 
and  also  in  the  training  in  practical  Christian  work. 

7.  The  Assembly  would  express  its  deep  gratitude  to  the  great  Head  of  the 
Church  for  another  year  of  blessing  and  prosperity  upon  our  seminaries.

34  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

sermon  for  ordination  of  a  candidate  who  had  recently  been  licensed  to  preach 
the  gospel,  recommends  the  following: 

The  Assembl}',  in  voting  to  sustain  this  complaint,  would  be  understood  as 
expressing  its  judgment  that  in  all  cases  of  trial  for  ordination  for  the  ministry, 
however  soon  they  may  follow  the  trial  for  licensure,  the  Presbytery  should  not 
omit  the  examination  of  the  candidate,  and  should  require  an  ordination  sermon.

BILLS  AND  OVERTURES. 

Overture  No.  8,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Piedmont,  asking  the  Assembly

in  all  our  Presbyteries  wherever  practicable.

Synods  or  Presbyteries  may,  at  their  option,  pay  the  expenses  of  those  in  at- 
tendance upon  their  meetings  out  of  Synodical  or  Presbyterial  treasuries. 

The  Assembly  answers  in  the  negative,  as  the  purpose  of  the  overture 
may  be  realized  without  change  in  the  Book  of  Church  Order. 

Overture  No.  12,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Knoxville,  asking  the  Assembly  to 
make  provisions  for  the  better  preservation  of  the  records  of  churches  and 
Church  courts.

at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Assembly. 

Overture  No.  13,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Norfolk,  asking  the  Assembly  to 
take  action  designed  to  secure  better  support  for  all  our  ministers.

of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief  and  Home  Missions  for  their 
consideration,  with  the  request  that  they  report  on  it  at  the  next  meeting  of  the 
General  Assembly.

second  year  of  study  in  the  seminary. 

Answer:  The  Assembly  declines  the  Overture,  but  expresses  its  judgment 
that  trial  for  licensure  should  take  place  as  early  in  a  candidate's  theological 
course  as  practicable. 

Overture  No.  70,  from  the  Presbytery  of  New  Orleans,  asking  a  change  in 
the  Book  of  Church  Order,  paragraph  279,  by  the  following  addition :  "Also

municating member  shall  neglect  his  obligation  to  his  church  for  three  years, 
though  his  residence  be  known."

EVENING  SESSION. 

8:00  p.  m. 

The  Assembly  met,  Rev.  T.  A.  Wharton,  D.  D.,  presiding  at  the 
request  of  the  Moderator. 

The  order  of  the  day  was  taken  up,  and  Rev.  R.  C.  Anderson 
addressed  the  Assembly  in  the  interest  of  the  Mountain  Retreat  As- 
sociation. 

This  address  was  referred  to  a  Select  Committee  consisting  of 
Rev.  F.  D.  Hunt,  Rev.  Alexander  Martin,  Rev.  J.  K.  Hall. 

The  Select  Committee  on  union  with  other  Presbyterian  bodies 
made  the  following  report,  which  was  considered  seriatim  and  adopted : 

CLOSER  RELATIONS. 

Your  Select  Committee  on  Closer  Relations  of  Churches  holding  the  Pres- 
byterian System  has  had  referred  to  it  various  papers,  which,  classified,  present 
two  subjects  for  our  action,  viz:  the  specific  one  of  the  proposed  union  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  with  the  United  Presbyterian  Church 
of  North  America,  and  the  more  general  one  of  closer  relations,  upon  some 
basis,  of  Churches  holding  the  Presbyterian  system. 

We  beg  to  report : 

1.  On  the  question  of  union  with  the  United  Presbyterian  Church. — There 
have  been  placed  in  our  hands  the  papers  on  this  subject  taken  from  the  docket, 
upon  which  it  was  placed  by  the  last  Assembly,  and  three  overtures — 31,  from 
the  Presbytery  of  East  Alabama,  urging  the  prosecution  of  a  plan  looking  to 
union ;  30,  from  the  Presbytery  of  South  Carolina,  expressing  itself  as  opposed 
to  such  union;  and  32,  from  the  West  Hanover  Presbytery,  asking  that  affirm- 
ative action  upon  the  subject  be  deferred. 

Your  Committee,  after  thorough  discussion  and  prayerful  deliberation, 
believing  that  the  matter  has  been  before  the  Church  long  enough  for  it  to 
know  its  mind,  through  considerations  of  Chiristian  courtesy  and  of  candor, 
without  suggestion  as  to  the  action  to  be  taken,  would  recommend : 

That  the  proposed  basis  of  union  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United 
States  with  the  United  Presbyterian  Church  of  North  America,  as  adopted  by 
the  Joint  Committee  of  the  two  Assemblies,  be  sent  down  by  the  Assembly  to 
the  constituent  Presbyteries  of  our  Assembly  (United  States)  for  their  adop- 
tion or  rejection. 

2.  In  the  matter  of  closer  relations  of  Churches  holding  the  Presbyterian 
system. — There  have  been  referred  to  us  certain  papers  containing  proposals 
from  the  Presbyterian  Church  United  States  of  America  to  the  Presbyterian 
Church  United  States,  of  May,  1913,  and  referred  to  this  Assembly;  also 
Overture  9,  from  Knoxville  Presbytery,  asking  the  erection  of  four  provincial 
Assemblies  instead  of  other  plans  of  Federal  Union;  33,  from  the  Presbytery 
of  Asheville,  asking  the  appointment  of  an   Ad-Interim   Committee,  to  which 


36  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

shall  be  referred  a  proposition  for  a  Federal  Congress  of  Reformed  Churches 
holding  the  Presbyterian  System ;  34,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Paducah,  asking 
for  a  committee  of  conference  with  other  such  committees,  to  consider  the 
matter  of  Closer  Relations  with  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States; 
and,  finally,  the  overture  from  the  Council  of  the  Reformed  Churches  in  Amer- 
ica holding  the  Presbyterian  System,  contained  in  its  annual  report,  asking  that 
matters  looking  to  closer  relations  and  co-operative  action  be  referred  to  said 
Council. 

It  is  the  judgment  of  this  Committee  that, 

Whereas,  the  desire  for  some  sort  of  closer  relations,  or  at  least  of  co-oper- 
ation, seems  to  be  general;  and, 

Whereas,  in  the  Council  of  the  reformed  Churches  in  America  holding  the 
Presbyterian  System  we  have  an  already  existing  body  having  substantially  these 
objects  and  aims  and  peculiarly  fitted  to  the  task  in  its  personnel,  by  reason 
of  its  opportunity  for  consideration  and  its  thorough  information  upon  the 
subjects  involved, 

We  recommend : 

1.  That  the  overture  from  the  Council  of  the  Reformed  Churches  in 
America  holding  the  Presbyterian  System  be  answered  in  the  affirmative,  which 
overture  is  as  follows : 

"Whereas,  Article  5  of  the  said  Articles  of  Agreement  reads: 
"5.  The  Council  shall  promote  the  co-operation  of  the  constituerH  Churches 
in  their  Foreign  Missionary  work,  and  also  in  their  general  work  in  the  United 
States  of  America,  in  connection  with  Home  Missions,  Work  Among  the  Col- 
ored People,  Church  Erection,  Sabbath  Schools,  Publication  and  Education. 
The  Council  may  also  advise  and  recommend  in  other  matters  pertaining  to  the 
general  welfare  of  the  Kingdom  of  Christ";  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Council  hereby  overtures  the  Supreme  Judicatories 
of  the  constituent  Churches  that  they  authorize  and  direct  the  Council : 

a.  To  give  careful  and  full  attention  to  the  whole  subject  of  closer  rela- 
tions and  more  effective  administrative  co-operation  between  the  several  Pres- 
byterian and  Reformed  Churches  represented  in  the  Council,  with  particular 
ceference  to  the  formulation  of  an  effective  federation  of  their  plans,  work  and 
executive  or  administrative  agencies,  both  in  the  home  and  foreign  fields. 

b.  That  the  Council  shall  report  its  conclusions  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories 
at  their  regular  meetings  in  1916. 

Resolved,  2.  That  when  as  many  as  four  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories  shall 
approve  the  above  overture,  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Council  shall 
appoint  a  committee  of  members  of  the  Council,  not  exceeding  eleven  in 
number,  which  committee  shall  undertake  the  duties  provided  for  in  the  over- 
ture, shall  confer  with  the  boards  and  agencies  interested  in  co-operative  work, 
and  shall  report  to  the  Council  at  its  next  meeting,  either  special  or  regular. 

2.  That  all  matters  looking  to  Closer  Relations  with  Reformed  Churches 
in  America  holding  the  Presbyterian  System  be  referred  by  this  Assembly  to  its 
constituent  representation  in  said  Council  for  its  information  and  guidance, 
and  by  this  constituency  to  the  Council  for  its  mature  deliberation.

pletion by  him  at  this  time  of  twenty  years'  service  in  the  Foreign  Missions 
administration  work. 

3.  That  the  Assembly  express  its  warm  appreciation  of  the  work  and  aid

year  amounted  to  $73,813. 

4.  That  special  appreciation  be  expressed  to  Miss  Isabel  Arnold  for  the 
elaboration  and  execution  of  the  unusually  fine  and  instructive  missionary  tables, 
maps,  illustrations,  etc.,  which  the  walls  of  the  Assembly's  meeting  place  display. 

5.  That  the  Assembly  record  with  special  sorrow  the  death  during  the 
year  of  Rev.  Dr.  J.  L.  Stuart,  Mrs.  A.  A.  McFadyen,  and  Mrs.  H.  C.  DuBose. 

6-  That  the  records  of  the  Executive  Committee  be  approved  as  records, 
with  the  exception  of  a  few  errors  due  to  carelessness  in  transcription,  and  that 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  39 

the  Executive  Committee  be  directed  to  provide  itself  with  permanent  and  bound 
books  for  its  records  instead  of  using  the  loose  leaf  system  in  preserving  them. 

7.  That  in  making  its  financial  statement  in  the  Annual  Report  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  be  directed  to  give  the  items  of  cost  of  administration  separate 
from  all  others,  and  with  due  discrimination  between  those  items  which  are 
office  administration  and  outside  or  educational  administration,  and  that  itemized 
account  be  given  of  all  official  salaries. 

8.  That  the  expense  of  the  Southern  Missionary  News  Bureau  be  listed 
under  the  head  of  Cost  of  Administration. 

9.  That  the  Assembly  approve  of  the  action  of  the  Executive  Committee 
in  withdrawing  from  Mission  Treasurers  the  authority  to  make  drafts,  the 
Executive  Committee  having  provided  for  monthly  remittances  by  its  Treasurer 
to  the  Treasurers  of  the  several  missions. 

ID.  That  the  Executive  Committee  be  asked  to  comply  as  soon  as  possible 
with  the  direction  of  the  Asembly  of  1912,  repeated  by  the  Assembly  of  1913, 
touching  the  publication  in  the  Annual  Report  of  a  detailed  statement  showing 
the  material  equipment  of  each  mission  station. 

11.  That  the  matter  of  the  appointments  to  attend  the  Conference  of 
Mission  Boards  and  Committees  of  the  United  States  and  Canada  be  determined 
entirely  by  the  Executive  Committee. 

12.  That  the  Assembly  warmly  welcome  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
South,  to  the  mission  work  close  to  our  own  in  Africa;  that  it  approve  of  the 
practical  arrangements  made  between  that  mission  and  our  own  in  evangelistic- 
helpers,  printing,  and  transportation ;  that  it  heartily  reciprocate  the  kind  words 
and  fraternal  interest  of  our  sister  Church ;  and  that  it  cordially  invite  Bishop 
Lambuth,  who  personally  founded  the  Congo  Mission  for  his  Church,  to  ad- 
dress this  Assembly  on  Wednesday  evening,  May  27th.  The  Assembly  prays 
that,  from  the  very  beginning,  the  work  of  our  Methodist  brethren  may  enjoy 
the  favor  of  Almighty  God,  who  has  so  signally  blessed  the  work  of  our  mission 
in  that  field. 

13.  That  the  Assembly  deplore  the  fact  that  present  conditions  have  re- 
quired the  work  to  be  practically  at  a  standstill,  and  urge  the  churches  and 
people  to  an  increased  liberality  that  will  take  away  from  us  this  cause  for 
reproach. 

14.  That  the  Assembly  instruct  the  Executive  Committee  to  make  every 
effort  possible  to  send  out  the  reinforcements  who  are  most  sorely  needed,  and 
that  in  case  another  or  continued  shortage  of  funds  should  threaten,  the  Exec- 
utive Committee  be  authorized  to  use  such  means,  not  inconsistent  with  methods 
already  adopted  and  recommended  to  the  Church,  as  may  seem  legitmate  and 
wise  to  increase  the  Foreign  Missions  income. 

15.  That  the  Assembly  encourage  the  assumption  by  churches,  societies, 
Sunday  Schools,  Sunday  School  classes  and  individuals  of  definite  responsibility 
for  definite  part's  of  the  foreign  work. 

16.  That  in  view  of  the  great  need  of  the  cause  of  Foreign  Missions,  of 
the  work  set  before  it  and  assumed  by  it  in  the  Missionary  Platform  adopted 
by  the  Assembly  of  1907,  and  of  the  present  obligations  of  the  cause,  this 
Assembly  urge  the  churches  and  people  to  contribute  not  less  than  one  million 


40  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

dollars  to  Foreign  Missions  during  the  present  year.     The  Assembly  declares 
that  a  generous  increase  in  oflferings  for  this  work  is  imperatively  needed. 

17.  That  in  urging  this  increase  and  authorizing  the  resort  to  special  means 
in  case  of  the  demands  of  the  work,  of  debt,  or  other  sore  need,  the  Assembly 
further  urge  that  if  its  plan  were  generally  adopted  and  the  Every-Member- 
Canvass  properly  and  vigorously  prosecuted,  the  possibility  of  such  emergencies 
would  be  removed ;  that  it  therefore  instruct  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Foreign  Missions  to  continue  its  co-operation  with  others  in  commending  this 
plan  and  promoting  its  adoption;  but  that  it  urge  this  with  the  distinct  under- 
standing that  in  the  adoption  and  prosecution  of  this  plan  it  shall  be  clearly 
declared  that  the  Every-Member  pledges  are  to  constitute  only  the  foundation 
upon  which  the  Church  shall  rise,  as  God  shall  give  it  growth  and  grace  or  as 
He  shall  show  its  special  need,  to  a  larger  liberality,  and  that  no  promise  should 
be  given  that  these  Every-Member  canvasses  shall  preclude  other  such  calls 
as  necessity  or  growth  may  demand,  or  shall  discharge  any  from  responsibilty 
for  an  entire  year  from  any  other  calls. 

18.  That  in  the  Every-Member-Canvass  churches  the  Assembly  urge  that 
not  less  than  55  per  cent,  of  amounts  contributed  to  Assembly  causes  be  as- 
signed as  the  percentage  for  Foreign  Missions,  and  that  this  minimum  percent- 
age shall  apply  at  present  to  the  years  1914-15  and  1915-16,  and  that  hereafter 
the  provision  be  made  for  one  entire  year  in  advance. 

19.  That  the  Assembly  approve  of  the  establishment,  if  possible,  of  a  reserve 
fund  of  at  least  $100,000,  to  be  drawn  upon  in  seasons  of  special  need  in  lieu  of 
borrowing,  such  fund  to  be  raised  over  and  above  all  present  support  funds, 
and  to  be  sought  through  private  effort  chiefly  amongst  those  in  our  Church 
whom  God  has  blessed  with  means.  As  still  further  preventive  of  the  need 
for  borrowing,  the  Assembly  urges  upon  all  Church  Treasurers  the  great  im- 
portance of  prompt  remittance  of  the  collections  for  Foreign  Missions. 

20.  That  the  Executive  Committee  be  permitted  to  retain  the  months  of 
May  and  October  for  such  special  appeals  as  may  not  be  inconsistent  with  the 
plans  of  the  churches  or  the  schedules  of  the  Assembly,  and  for  the  seeking  of 
free-will  offerings  from  the  churches  and  people. 

21.  That  the  nominees  of  the  Executive  Committee,  in  its  majority  report, 
for  Secretaries  other  than  the  Executive  Secretary,  viz :  Rev.  S-  H.  Chester,  as 
Secretary  of  Foreign  Correspondence  and  Editor  of  the  Foreign  Mission  De- 
partment of  the  Survey;  Rev.  Jno.  L  Armstrong,  as  Educational  Secretary; 
Rev.  J.  O.  Reavis,  as  Field  Secretary,  to  serve  without  salary;  Rev.  H.  F.  Wil- 
liams, as  Field  Secretary,  to  give  at  least  three-fourths  of  his  time  to  work  in 
the  field  for  a  term  of  three  years,  be  approved;  that  Rev.  Egbert  W.  Smith, 
D.  D.,  be  elected  Executive  Secretary  of  Foreign  Missions  for  a  term  of  three 
years ;  that  vacancies  on  the  Executive  Committee  for  the  term  of  three  years 
be  filled  as  follows :  Rev.  C.  E.  Diehl,  Rev.  E.  D.  McDougall,  Rev.  L.  E.  Mc- 
Nair,  G.  H.  Baskette,  J.  P.  McCallie,  Rutherford  Lapsley,  W.  A.  Dale,  and 
A.  M.  Carroll ;  that  Rev.  W.  L.  Caldwell  be  appointed  to  fill  the  unexpired 
term  of  Rev.  Josiah  Sibley,  and  that  Rev.  David  M.  Sweets  be  appointed  to 
fill  the  unexpired  term  of  E.  H.  Scharringhaus. 

22.  That  in  reply  to  the  overture.  No.  22,  from  the  North  Alabama  Pres- 
bytery, touching  the  debt  and  the  appointment  of  a  special  day  for  collections,

the  Assembly  answer  that  it  is  not  prepared  at  this  time  to  appoint  a  special  day 
for  collections  of  funds  for  that  purpose,  and  calls  that  Presbytery's  attention 
to  the  other  recommendations  made  in  this  report.

to  choose  between  fermented  and  unfermented  wine?

The  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Home  Missions  was 
read,  considered  seriatim,  and  adopted.  In  connection  with  the  adop- 
tion of  this  report,  the  Assembly  expressed  by  a  rising  vote  its  very 
high  appreciation  of  the  faithfulness  and  efficiency  of  Rev.  S.  L.  Morris, 
D.  D.,  and  Rev.  Homer  McMillan,  D.  D.,  the  Secretaries  of  Home 
Missions,  and  members  of  the  Executive  Committee.  The  report  is 
as  follows : 

REPORT  OF  THE  STANDING  COMMITTEE  OF  HOME  MISSIONS. 

Your  Committee  of  Home  Missions  herewith  respectfully  submits  the  fol- 
lowing report : 

The  Minutes  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  in  Atlanta 
have  been  carefully  reviewed  and  found  to  be  in  order  and  very  neatly  kept. 
A  review  of  these  Minutes  not  only  reveals  the  great  magnitude  and  complex 
character  of  the  service  rendered  by  our  Executive  Committee,  but  also  the 
great  efficiency  and  splendid  organization  of  that  body.  New  situations  are 
constantly  being  created  and  new  problems  facing  this  body  almost  every  day. 
That  Committee  has  faced  these  growing  burdens  with  splendid  ability,  and 
deserves  the  unstinted  commendation  of  this  Assembly. 

We  desire  to  express  also  our  very  great  appreciation  of  the  Forty-eighth 
Annual  Report  of  that  Committee.  In  form  and  substance,  in  the  clearness  of 
its  statements  and  altogether  admirable  presentation  of  their  year's  work,  this 
report  is  a  model  and  deserves  all  praise. 

We  desire  to  call  your  attention  to  some  of  the  more  striking  features  of 
this  report.  The  Home  Mission  Committee  has  laid  the  foundation  for  the 
general  evangelistic  movement  in  its  literature  on  the  subject  of  Evangelism, 
spread  broadcast  throughout  the  Presbyteries  of  the  Assembly.  The  campaign 
carried  on  by  Dr.  J.  E.  Thacker  and  Dr.  W.  W.  Orr  has  met  with  marked 
success.  Dr.  Orr,  unfortunately,  has  been  able  to  give  us  only  small  portions 
of  his  time.  Dr.  Thacker  reports  as  to  the  result  of  his  year's  work:  7,212 
reconsecrations,  441  additions  by  letter,  1,168  professions  of  faith,  and  7  young 
men  who  expressed  a  desire  to  study  for  the  ministry.  We  most  heartily 
recommend    the    continuance    of    Dr.    Thacker  in  his  present  office  and  at  his 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  43 

present  salary,  and  trust  that  the  Executive  Committee  may  soon  see  their  way 
clear  to  employ  other  workers  in  the  same  great  field. 

We  desire  to  call  especial  attention  to  the  work  of  Rev.  G.  W.  Crabtree, 
who  has  now  been  engaged  for  a  year  in  his  remarkable  work  as  Prison  Evan- 
gelist. So  far  as  we  are  informed,  it  is  the  only  work  of  this  character  carried 
on  by  any  denomination  for  these  unfortunate  classes.  The  following  surprising 
and  gratifying  results  are  reported  of  this  work:  Number  of  prisoners  ad- 
dressed, 10,253;  number  of  confessions,  3,611;  number  of  letters  in  churches,  58; 
collections  and  donations,  $725.52. 

We  wish  also  to  emphasize  this  item  of  the  report  concerning  the  Semi- 
centennial Building  and  Loan  Fund :  Three  years  ago  the  Church  decided  to 
raise  a  fund  of  $100,000  to  commemorate  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  our  exist- 
ence as  a  Church,  and  the  Home  Mission  office  made  an  appeal,  backed  by  strik- 
ing literature  setting  forth  the  needs  of  raising  this  Semi-Centennial  Building 
and  Loan  Fund.  As  a  result  of  this  effort  $10,000  has  been  secured,  which  is 
already  doing  its  blessed  work.  Others  have  given  promises  which  will  material- 
ize in  the  future,  and  some  have  been  known  to  remember  this  cause  in  their 
last  will  and  testament.  Any  individual  giving  as  much  as  $500  will  be  entitled 
to  a  memorial  fund,  and  we  have  already  several  such  memorials.  One  generous 
friend  off'ers  to  give  $10,000,  provided  the  Church  will  raise  the  amount  to 
complete  the  fund.  This  will  require  but  $70,000,  which  should  be  but  a  slight  task 
when  we  consider  the  ability  and  resources  of  our  great  Church.  We  recom- 
mend that  the  pastors  give  their  people  the  opportunity  to  present  this  cause 
and  secure  offerings  during  Home  Mission  Week,  or  Thanksgiving  Day,  or  such 
other  opportunity  as  may  present  itself. 

The  Committee  reports  a  very  gratifying  progress  in  the  work  among  the 
mountaineers.  Including  Presbyterial  and  Synodical  schools,  our  Church  has,  in 
round  numbers,  forty-five  mountain  schools  and  missions.  The  total  annual 
budget  of  these  schools,  including  improvements,  has  been  roughly  estimated 
at  $85,000.  In  round  numbers,  there  are  3,250  pupils  in  these  schools,  so  that 
the  cost  per  capita  per  month  for  educating  these  children  is  about  $3.50  for 
both  day  and  boarding  pupils. 

During  the  year  a  new  college  in  the  farthest  Cumberlands  of  Letcher 
County,  at  the  Rockhouse  Fork  of  the  Kentucky  River,  in  the  new  town  of 
Blackie,  has  been  erected. 

With  all  the  work  already  accomplished  for  the  education  and  salvation  of 
the  millions  of  highlanders  practically  destitute,  we  are  still  on  the  border  line 
of  this  vast  work. 

The  attention  of  the  Assembly  is  called  in  this  report  to  a  movement  inaug- 
urated in  the  North  Carolina  Synod  by  Rev.  R.  F.  Campbell,  D.  D.^  inviting  the 
co-operation  of  continguous  Synods  for  the  erection  of  the  Synod  of  the 
Mountains,  its  object  being  to  bring  together  in  one  organization  the  ministers 
and  churches  which  have  a  sympathetic  purpose,  and  to  erect  a  Synod  whose 
missionary  aims  and  purpose  will  make  a  tremendous  appeal  to  the  entire  Church. 
Your  Committee  offers  no  recommendation  in  this  matter,  as  the  Synods  most 
interested  have  committees  already  at  work,  whose  report  will  be  laid  before  the 
next  Assembly. 

The    Department   of    Colored    Evangelization,   in    its    report    for   the   year, 


44  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

presents  exceedingly  interesting  facts.  The  splendid  work  that  has  been  done 
in  Louisville,  Kentucky,  among  the  Negroes  has  inspired  other  cities  to  engage 
in  a  like  effort.  Especially  do  we  emphasize  this  item  in  that  report.  The 
Executive  Committee  has  negotiated  a  tentative  sale  of  the  present  property 
of  Stillman  Institute  and  has  purchased  250  acres  of  land  at  a  cost  of  little 
more  than  $8,000,  upon  which  $5,000  has  already  been  paid.  It  is  the  purpose 
of  the  Executive  Committee  to  erect  within  the  next  twelve  months  a  new  and 
greater  "Stillman,"  with  a  modern  and  up-to-date  plant,  which  will  be  a  credit  to 
the  work  and  to  our  Church. 

In  the  Department  of  Missions  Among  Foreign-speaking  People,  the  Com- 
mittee also  presents  a  very  interesting  array  of  facts,  which  every  minister  in 
this  Assembly  should  be  careful  to  lay  before  his  people.  It  is  in  this  depart- 
ment of  its  work  that  our  Assembly  is  to  face  increasing  burden  and  responsi- 
bility. Immigrants  from  all  countries  are  pouring  into  our  South  in  ever- 
increasing  numbers.  The  chaotic  condition  of  Mexico  has  caused  the  swarming 
into  Texas  of  vast  hordes  of  ignorant  people.  The  Texas-Mexican  Presbytery, 
with  its  school  at  Kingsville,  great  as  is  its  work,  cannot  cope  with  the  present 
situation.  The  Rev.  A.  B.  Carrero  has  been  made  General  Superintendent  of 
Mexican  Work  in  the  Dallas  Presbytery,  and  is  succeeding  in  interesting  all 
North  Texas  in  this  work. 

The  General  Assembly  needs  to  make  this  great  work  an  especial  object  of 
prayer  and  earnest  effort. 

We  have  but  time  to  mention  the  work  among  Italians  in  Kansas  City 
and  the  great  success  which  has  attended  the  efforts  of  the  Central  Presbyterian 
Church,  whose  work  is  to  be  made  a  matter  of  investigation  by  this  body. 
Louisiana  also  appeals  to  the  whole  Church,  with  its  vast  numbers  of  French, 
Italian  and  Spanish-speaking  people. 

The  Assembly's  Committee  is  now  working  among  eleven  different  national- 
ities, and  yet  there  are  others  coming  among  us  in  increasing  numbers  to  whom 
as  yet  we  preach  no  gospel.  We  wish  to  call  attention  in  passing  to  the  school 
in  Durant,  Okla.  For  the  past  several  years  this  most  effective  agency  in  the 
mission  work  of  the  Church  in  all  Oklahoma  has  been  staggering  under  a  burden 
of  debt.  Your  Committee  has  paid  $20,000  upon  that  obligation  during  the  past 
year,  reducing  the  burden  now  resting  upon  the  institution  to  $17,000. 

We  wish  again  to  commend,  with  all  the  emphasis  possible,  the  observance 
of  Home  Mission  Week  in  November.  The  results  have  been  most  happy 
wherever  the  pastors  have  effectively  taken  the  matter  in  hand. 

It  is  a  matter  for  devout  gratitude  to  God  that  the  receipts  of  the  Home 
Mission  office  show  a  decided  advance  over  the  previous  year.  The  total  con- 
tributions for  the  past  year  amount  to  $168,670.86,  being  an  advance  over  the 
previous  year  of  $14,460.09.  There  remains  a  balance  in  the  treasury  on  April  i, 
1913,  of  $68.14.  We  wish  to  call  special  attention  to  the  following  comparative 
statement,  which  reveals  the  progress  of  our  Assembly's  Home  Missions  since 
the  beginning  of  this  century,  at  which  time  the  present  administration  also 
began : 

1901  $  26,915.00 

1902 35,293-00 

1903 36,477-00 

1904 64,742.00 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  45

1906 64,557.00 

1907 74,814.00

1912 125,787.00 

1913 154,210.00 

1914 168,670.86 

This  summary  reveals  extraordinary  faithfulness,  not  only  on  the  part  of 
the  Executive  Committee,  but  also  on  the  part  of  our  Secretaries,  Drs.  Morris' 
and  McMillan.  The  close  study  on  the  part  of  your  Committee  of  the  whole 
conduct  of  the  work  committed  to  these  brethren  resulted  spontaneously  in  the 
feeling  that  this  great  body  owes  the  utmost  commendation  to  these  faithful 
men. 

Your  Committee  offers  the  following  recommendations  for  your  consider- 
ation : 

(i)  That  the  Rev.  Homer  McMillan,  D.  D.,  be  re-elected  Secretary  in 
charge  of  the  Field  Work  and  Literature  for  the  term  of  three  years. 

(2)  That  Rev.  Dr.  J,  E.  Thacker  be  continued  in  his  field  of  labor  for 
another  year  and  under  existing  arrangements. 

(3)  We  recommend,  in  response  to  the  overture  from  the  Presbytery  of 
Ebenezer  placed  in  our  hands,  which  overture  asks  for  a  modification  in  the 
Manual  of  the  Assembly's  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions,  so  as  to 
eliminate  the  necessity  of  a  Presbyterial  contribution  to  the  Central  Committee 
as  a  condition  of  appropriation,  that  this  overture  be  answered  in  the  negative, 
and  on  the  ground  that  such  authority  already  exists  in  the  statement  of  the 
Manual. 

(4)  To  the  overture  of  the  Presbytery  of  Augusta,  No.  55,  also  committed 
to  our  hands,  requesting  a  change  in  the  designation  of  the  Local  Committee  of 
Home  Missions  to  that  of  Presbyterial  Committee  of  Home  Missions,  we  recom- 
mend an  affirmative  answer. 

(5)  To  a  communication  placed  in  our  hands  from  the  Session  of  the 
Central  Presbyterian  Church  of  St.  Louis,  asking  the  Assembly  for  an  offering 
from  all  the  churches  of  this  body  in  the  year  1915  for  the  Reformed  Church 
of  Bohemia  and  Moravia,  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  in  the  establishment  of  a 
theological  seminary,  and  that  this  fund  so  collected  be  entitled  "the  Huss 
Memorial  Gift  from  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  to  the  Re- 
formed Church  of  Bohemia  and  Moravia,"  we  recommend  a  negative  answer, 
and  that  this  answer  be  conveyed  through  Dr.  Morris,  Executive  Secretary  of 
Home  Missions. 

(6)  In  response  to  the  resolutions  and  recommendations  of  the  Committee 
of  Systematic  Beneficence,  placed  in  our  hands,  we  recommend  the  adoption  of 
the  following  items : 

First.  That  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  proceed  at  once 
to  investigate  the  needs  and  work  among  the  Jews  in  the  bounds  of  our  As- 
sembly ;  ascertain  the  best  methods  to  be  pursued  in  meeting  these  needs,  and 


46  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

suggest  in  their  next  report  to  the  General  Assembly  a  definite  program  for  this 
work. 

Second.  We  believe  that  the  problem  of  the  country  church  is  essentially 
a  local  one  and  must  be  solved  largely  in  the  light  of  local  conditions;  however, 
as  aid  to  the  solution  of  this  problem,  we  recommend  that  the  Home  Mission 
Committee  collect  all  the  available  data  upon  this  subject  and  put  it  into  such 
form  as  may  be  useful  to  local  committees  in  our  Church  in  solving  this 
problem. 

(7)  Department  of  Synodical  Home  Missions. — We  recommend  the  adop- 
tion of  the  following  items  of  the  report  of  Systematic  Beneficence  committed 
to  us: 

(a)  That  the  General  Assembly  urge  every  Synod  to  organize  the  work 
thoroughly  within  its  own  bounds,  in  order  that  the  needs  of  the  weaker  Pres- 
byteries may  be  supplied  through  Synodical  assistance. 

(b)  That  as  a  general  policy,  wherever  it  is  found  practicable,  each  Synod 
be  urged  to  elect  a  Synodical  Superintendent  of  Home  Missions,  as  has  been 
done  in  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Mississppi  and 
Missouri. 

(c)  That  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  stimulate  and  en- 
courage the  Synods  in  such  Synodical  organization. 

(8)  To  the  item  No.  4  of  this  submitted  report,  asking  that  one  Secretary 
and  one  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  should  attend 
the  annual  sessions  of  the  Home  Mission  Council,  the  expenses  of  such  attend- 
ance to  be  borne  by  the  respective  Executive  Committees,  your  Committee 
recommends  a  negative  answer;  leaving  the  action  contemplated  in  this  item 
wholly  to  the  discretion  of  the  Executive  Committee  itself. 

(9)  To  the  item,  No.  5,  asking  for  the  observance  of  Home  Mission  Week 
in  November  in  all  of  our  churches,  for  the  purpose  of  educating  our  people 
in  the  work  and  needs  of  this  great  cause,  we  recommend  its  adoption,  with  this 
amendment :  That  during  this  week  of  special  effort  in  the  behalf  of  Home 
Missions  voluntary  offerings  be  taken  for  the  Semi-Centennial  Fund  and  equip- 
ment needs  of  the  Assembly's  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions. 

(10)  We  concur  in  the  recommendation  of  the  Systematic  Committee  of 
Beneficence  that  the  amount  of  $333,000  (27%)  as  a  minimum  need  of  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  for  each  of  the  years  1914-1915  and 
1915-1916,  with  this  amendment:  That  every  caution  be  taken  against  the  pos- 
sibility of  confusion  in  this  statement  of  27  per  cent,  as  the  required  gift,  it 
being  clearly  understood  that  Presbyterial  and  Synodical  gifts  are  to  be  reckoned 
as  over  and  apart  from  this  estimate  of  percentage. 

(11)  The  three  items  of  the  report  from  the  Campaign  Comfmittee,  re- 
ferred to  your  Special  Committee,  were  adopted  with  only  a  few  verbal  changes, 
and  we  recommend : 

First.  That  the  General  Assembly  authorize  the  office  of  Superintendent 
of  Evangelism  in  connection  with  and  under  the  direction  of  the  Assembly's 
Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions,  this  Superintendent  to  have  charge  of 
and  responsibility  for  the  supervision  and  stimulation  of  evangelistic  work 
along  the  lines  of  Evangelism  in  accord  with  the  theory  and  practice  of  our 
Church. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  47 

Second.  That  the  General  Assembly  urge  the  Presbyteries  to  hold  con- 
ferences on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  in  connection  with  their  regular 
meetings,  to  the  end  that  the  regular  Church  courts  may  be  made  more  a  means 
of  inspiration  and  help,  especially  to  representatives  of  the  churches. 

Third.  That  the  General  Assembly  commend  to  the  consideration  of  all 
Presbyterial  Evangelistic  and  Home  Mission  Committees  the  suggestions  for 
Presbyterial  Evangelism  prepared  by  the  Campaign  Committeee  on  Evangelism 
and  Stewardship. 

(12)  We  recommend  most  earnestly  the  adoption  by  the  churches  of  our 
Assembly  of  some  plan  of  personal  evangelism  during  opportune  weeks  of  the 
year,  in  which  the  membership  of  the  churches  shall  be  led  by  their  pastor  and 
officers  to  the  great  work  of  soul-winning. 

(13)  In  view  of  the  wide  extent  and  varied  operation  of  our  Home  Mis- 
sion work,  we  recommend  also  that  the  Assembly  call  upon  all  of  our  people 
to  give  this  great  and  vitally  fundamental  cause  its  proper  place  in  their  thinking, 
praying  and  giving,  so  that  this  work  and  the  workers  engaged  in  it  may  be 
recognized  as  deserving  of  equal  honor  and  of  equal  importance  with  any  de- 
partment of  the  Church's  activity. 

(14)  In  conclusion,  we  recommend  that  the  following  gentlemen  be  elected 
to  fill  vacancies  on  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  for  a  term  of 
three  years :  John  J.  Eagan,  W.  M.  Everett,  C.  J.  Martin,  Rev,  A.  R.  Holderby, 
Rev.  J.  G.  Fatten  and  J.  R.  McCain.  We  recommend  also  that  Rev.  W.  E. 
Hill  be  elected  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  H.  K.  Walker, 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted, 

T,  A,  Wharton,  Chairman. 
The  Assembly  then  took  recess  until  8  :oo  p.  m. 


EVENING  SESSION. 

8:00  p,  m. 

The  Assembly  met  and  engaged  in  a  popular  meeting  in  the  interest 
of  Home  Missions,  Rev.  T.  A.  Wharton,  D.  D.,  presiding  by  request 
of  the  Moderator. 

Brief  addresses  were  delivered  by  Rev.  L.  M.  Flournoy,  Rev.  A. 
W.  Cravatt,  Rev.  A.  B.  Carrero,  and  Prof.  W.  B.  Morrison.  After  this 
a  stereopticon  lecture  was  given  on  the  Mountain  Work  by  Rev.  W,  E. 
Hudson. 

The  Assembly  then  adjourned  until  9:15  a.  m.  tomorrow,  closing 
with  prayer. 


Sixth  Day 

Wednesday,  May  27,  1914. 

The  General  Assembly  met  and  engaged  in  devotional  exercises, 
conducted  by  Rev.  E.  C.  Gordon,  D.  D. 

The  minutes  of  yesterday's  sessions  were  read  and  approved. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence  made  the 
following  report,  which  was  read  and  adopted : 


48  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

FOREIGN  CORRESPONDENCE. 
The    Standing   Committee   on    Foreign   Corespondence   would    report   that 
there  has  come  into  our  hands : 

1.  A  Statement  of  Principles  of  the  Federal  Council  of  the  Churches  of 
Christ  in  America.  We  have  given  most  careful  attention  to  this  statement  of 
principles  underlying  and  guiding  the  development  of  the  work  of  the  Council, 
and  find  such  safeguards  and  limitations  as  to  denominational  autonomy  of  the 
constituent  bodies  that  we  can  and  do  most  heartily  recommend  their  approval. 

2.  A  summary  of  the  report  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Federal 
Council  of  the  Churches  of  Christ  in  America,  together  with  the  address  of  its 
Secretary,  Rev.  Chas.  S.  MacFarland,  before  the  Assembly. 

We  note  with  pleasure  the  report  of  its  wide  and  general  activities  and 
commend  its  various  lines  of  work  as  therein  outlined. 

We  especially  recommend  the  approval  of  the  Council's  program  concerning 
an  increase  of  chaplains  in  the  United  States  Army  and  Navy,  a  campaign  of 
religious  activity  and  evangelism  in  connection  with  the  Panama-Pacific  Expo- 
sition, and  the  establishment  of  an  office  at  Washington,  D.  C,  with  Rev.  Henry 
K.  Carroll,  D.  D.,  as  Associate  Secretary,  in  charge. 

3.  A  letter  from  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  New  Zealand  in  regard  to 
measures  to  be  adopted  in  furtherance  of  International  Peace,  and  a  letter 
from  Rev.  Henry  K.  Carroll,  D.  D.,  Associate  Secretary  of  the  Federal  CouncJi, 
relative  to  the  plan  of  the  American  Peace  Centenary  Committee  to  celebrate, 
on  Sunday,  February  14,  191 5,  the  centenary  of  the  Treaty  of  Ghent.  Since 
these  two  matters  are  so  closely  allied,  we  recommend  that, 

Inasmuch  as  the  Federal  Council  has  a  Special  Commission  on  Peace  and 
Arbitration  and  is  arranging  a  special  Peace  program,  that  these  matters  be 
referred  to  such  Commission,  and  that  our  Synods,  Presbyteries  and  churches 
co-operate  as  far  as  they  find  it  expedient  or  advisable. 

Your  Committee  acknowledges  a  communication  from  the  Rev.  Prof. 
Alberto  Clot,  of  the  Waldensian  Church,  who  was  commissioned  to  bear  fra- 
ternal greetings  to  this  Assembly,  but  who  was  detained  form  being  present. 
Your  Committee,  through  Dr.  Clot,  would  express  its  abiding  interest  in  and 
prayer  for  this  oldest  of  Protestant  Churches,  and  in  her  work  for  a  pure  faith 
in  Italy. 

In  answer  to  the  overture  from  the  Presbytery  of  Knoxville,  asking  that 
the  Presbyterians  of  Ireland,  through  their  highest  court,  be  assured  of  our 
sympathy  and  prayers  and  reminded  that  an  asylum  awaits,  as  in  bygone  days, 
the  persecuted  sons. 

We  recommend  the  following  answer :  That  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  United  States,  which  in  the  past  has  furnished  a  home  for  Ireland's  perse- 
cuted sons,  extends  fraternal  greetings  and  expresses  sincere  sympathy  and 
prayers  at  this  critical  time  in  her  history. 

Your  Committee  has  had  referred  to  it  the  substance  of  the  address  of  the 
Rev.  Joseph  Brown  Turner,  Secretary  of  the  Presbyterian  Historical  Society, 
and  would  report  as  follows : 

Whereas,  it  is  not  only  proper  and  right  for  the  Church  of  Christ  to  revere 
and  conserve  the  great  deeds  and  accomplishments  of  those  who  have  served 
their  generations  in  the  fear  of  God,  but  the  duty  of  the  Church  to  preserve 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  49 

the  story  of  God's  dealings  with  it  and  to  transmit  to  posterity  the  record  of 
its  fidelity  to  the  truth,  its  faith  and  its  accomplishments,  the  memorials  of  its 
honored  ministers  and  its  faithful  laymen,  and  whatever  else  may  serve  to  illus- 
trate and  perpetuate  its  principles,  or  to  afford  a  basis  for  histories  that  may 
yet  be  written ;  and, 

Whereas,  the  Presbyterian  Historical  Society  is  the  only  society  in  the 
United  States  which  devotes  itself  exclusively  to  the  collection  and  preservation 
of  the  records  of  what  the  Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Churches  have  done,  and 
are  doing,  for  the  world ;  and, 

Whereas,  this  Society  is  greatly  hampered  in  the  prosecution  of  its  im- 
portant and  necessary  work  by  reason  of  meagre  and  insufficient  income,  and 
has  resolved  to  raise,  if  possible,  a  sufficient  endowment  fund;  therefore, 

1.  The  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United 
States  heartily  commends  the  Presbyterian  Historical  Society  to  the  good  will 
and  liberality  of  its  churches  and  their  members. 

2.  The  Assembly  urges  its  ministers  and  members,  its  Synods,  Presbyteries 
and  churches  to  contribute  to  the  Historical  Society  such  documents,  printed  or 
in  MSS.,  as  may  illustrate  the  doctrines,  the  polity  and  the  activites  of  the 
Church,  local  or  at  large,  and  be  of  service  to  future  students  of  our  history. 

3.  The  Assembly  recommends  the  appointment  by  Synods  and  Presbyteries 
of  committees  which  shall  correspond  with  and  as  far  as  possible  assist  the 
Historical  Society  in  its  laudable  work. 

4.  That  the  Assembly  appoint  a  Permanent  Committee  of  three  to  co- 
operate with  the  Special  Committee  of  the  Historical  Society  in  its  effort  to 
preserve  all  historical  records. 

We  beg  to  commend  the  report  of  the  delegation  to  the  Presbyterian  Al- 
liance and  commend  them  lor  their  diligence  and  loyal  support  and  defense 
of  the  great  principles  of  our  Church. 

E.  D.  McDouGALL,  Chairman. 

The  order  of  the  day,  the  hearing  of  the  report  of  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence,  was  taken  up. 

The  report  was  considered  seriatim. 

During  the  consideration  of  this  report,  Bishop  Walter  R.  Lam- 
buth,  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  South,  was  introduced  to 
the  Assembly.  Bishop  Lambuth  responded  to  the  welcome  extended 
him,  and  presented  to  the  Assembly  the  greetings  from  our  missionaries 
on  the  Congo,  Africa,  from  which  station  Bishop  Lambuth  has  recently 
returned. 

Pending  the  further  consideration  of  the  report  of  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence,  the  Assembly  took  recess  until 
1 :30  p.  m. 


AFTERNOON  SESSION. 

1 130  p.  m. 
The  Assembly  met. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Mileage  made  the  following  report, 
which  was  adopted : 


so  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

MILEAGE. 
We,  your  Committee  on  Mileage,  report  as  follows : 

1.  We  have  issued  payment  in  full  to  218  Commissoners  to  the  meeting  of 
the  Assembly,  the  total  cost  of  said  Commissioners  being  $11,067.83. 

2.  We  find  that  the  Presbyteries  of  St.  Louis  and  Charleston  have  failed 
to  forward  to  the  Stated  Clerk  their  assessments.  As  a  consequence  the  ex- 
penses of  Commissioners  from  these  Presbyteries  have  not  been  paid.  Said 
Commissioners  are  referred  to  the  Stated  Clerk  of  the  Assembly. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

George  A.  Knox,  Chairman. 

The  Select  Committee  on  the  address  of  Rev.  R.  C.  Anderson, 
President  of  the  Mountain  Retreat  Association,  made  the  following 
report,  which  was  adopted : 

Your  Committee  to  whom  was  referred  the  report  of  the  Mountain  Retreat 
Association  and  the  address  of  its  President,  Rev.  R.  C.  Anderson,  would  re- 
spectfully report  as  follows : 

1.  The  Assembly  has  heard  with  pleasure  and  interest  the  address  of  Rev. 
R.  C.  Anderson,  setting  forth  the  plans,  purposes  and  scope  of  the  work  at 
Montreat,  and  we  rejoice  at  the  large  proportions  this  work  is  assuming  and 
the  wide  influence  it  is  wielding  for  good  throughout  the  borders  of  our  Church 
in  all  the  departments  of  the  beneficent  work  of  the  Assembly. 

2.  We  appreciate  the  generous  offer  made  by  the  Mountain  Retreat  As- 
sociation to  the  General  Assembly  to  furnish  us,  free  of  cost,  the  use  of  their 
magnificent  plant  for  nine  months  of  the  year,  that  it  may  be  used  for  educa- 
tional and  school  purposes,  as  may  seem  best  and  wise  to  the  Assembly. 

3.  In  response  to  this  liberal  offer,  the  Assembly  does  hereby  appoint  an 
Ad-Interim  Committee  to  investigate  and  consider  the  feasibility  of  accepting 
this  proposition;  and  if,  in  the  judgment  of  said  Committee,  it  is  desirable  and 
practicable  so  to  do,  said  Committee  is  directed  to  formulate  plans  for  control, 
government  and  support  of  such  a  school  and  report  to  the  next  General  As- 
sembly for  its  action.  This  Committee  is  to  meet  at  Montreat,  without  cost  of 
traveling  expenses  to  the  General  Assembly. 

4.  Said  Ad-Interim  Committee  shall  be  composed  of  the  following  persons : 

Rev.  John  I.  Armstrong Nashville,  Tenn. 

Rev.  S.  L.  Morris,  D.  D Atlanta,  Ga. 

Rev.  H.  H.  Sweets,  D.  D Louisville,  Ky. 

Rev.  A.  L.  Phillips,  D.  D Richmond,  Va. 

Rev.  C.  C.  Carson,  D.  D Bristol,  Tenn. 

Mr.  John  J.  Eagan Atlanta,  Ga. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Belk Charlotte,  N.  C. 

Mr.  R.  T.  Simpson Florence,  Ala. 

Mr.  C.  E.  Graham Greenville,  S.  C.

Mr.  G.  R.  Cannon Richmond,  Va. 

Mr.  W.  J.  Roddey Rock  Hill,  S.  C. 

Rev.  R.  P.  Smith Asheville,  N.  C. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

F.  D.  Hunt,  Chairman. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  51 

Rev.  J.  S.  Lyons,  D.  D.,  was  added  to  the  Ad-Interim  Committee 
to  consider  the  whole  question  of  the  use  of  wine  in  the  Lord's  Supper 
and  also  made  Chairman  of  this  Committee. 

The  unfinished  business,  the  consideration  of  the  report  of  the 
Standing  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence,  was  resumed. 

The  report  was  amended  and  adopted  as  follows : 

REPORT  OF  THE  STANDING  COMMITTEE  ON  SYSTEMATIC 
BENEFICENCE. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence  begs  leave  to  submit 
the  following  report: 

The  following  documents  were  placed  in  our  hands :  The  Annual  Report 
of  the  Permanent  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence;  all  of  the  Presbyterial 
statistical  reports  on  Systematic  Beneficence ;  the  report  of  the  Committee  on 
Evangelism  and  Stewardship ;  overtures  from  the  following  Presbyteries : 
Winchester,  Montgomery,  Mecklenburg,  Western  Texas,  North  Alabama,  Lex- 
ington, and  Roanoke. 

Also  the  Assembly  referred  to  this  Committee  the  question  of  the  eligibility 
of  alternates  of  the  Permanent  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence  to  serve 
as  principals  after  having  served  two  full  terms  as  alternates. 

All  of  these  documents  have  been  examined  with  care,  and  we  make  the 
following  recommendations  on  the  report  of  the  Permanent  Committee  on  Sys- 
tematic Beneficence  and  the  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship : 

We  wish,  first  of  all,  to  commend  warmly  the  great  diligence  of  these 
Committees. 

I.    Evangelism  and  Stewardship. 

In  reference  to  the  report  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship,  we  recommend, 
in  view  of  the  fact  that'  so  far  only  930  churches  have  adopted  the  Assembly's 
plan : 

First.     That  the  Campaign  Committee  as  formerly  organized  be  continued. 

Second.  That  this  Committee  be  charged  with  the  definite  task  of  advanc- 
ing the  interests  of  the  Assembly's  Financial  Plan  and  of  securing  its  adoption 
in  all  of  our  churches,  and  employing  such  assistants  as  may  be  necessary  to 
push  this  plan  in  individual  churches,  the  support  of  those  thus  employed  to  be 
secured  from  the  four  Executive  Committees  in  such  porportion  as  may  be 
agreed  upon  by  them. 

Third.  That  the  report  of  the  Campaign  Committee  on  Evangelism  and 
Stewardship  be  printed  in  the  Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  that  the 
following  recommendations  of  that  Committee,  relative  to  Stewardship,  be 
adopted : 

(a)  That  the  General  Assembly  again  express  in  most  emphatic  terms  its 
earnest  desire  and  recommendation  that  all  churches,  so  far  as  possible,  at 
once  make  plans  for  adopting  the  Assembly's  plan  of  Church  finance  and  for 
conducting  an  Every-Member-Canvass  for  beneficence  during  or  before  March, 

1915- 

(b)  That  the  General  Assembly  declare  in  the  most  forcible  way  to  all  the 
churches  that  the  results  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass  should  not  be  looked 
upon  as  final,  but  as  the  means  by  which  to  build  up  an  adequate  offering  for 
the  year. 


52  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

(c)  That  the  General  Assembly  recommend  to  the  Presbyteries,  through 
their  Committees  on  Systematic  Beneficence,  the  earnest  and  careful  cultivation 
of  their  churches  in  the  principle  of  Christian  Stewardship,  and  especially  that 
part  of  the  911  churches  that  may  be  in  their  bounds  which  last  year  gave 
nothing  to  any  of  the  Assembly's  causes, 

IL    Woman's  Auxiliary. 

We  recommend  that  the  recommendations  of  the  Permanent  Committee  on 
Systematic  Beneficence  on  this  subject  be  adopted,  with  amendment,  so  as  to 
read  as  follows : 

With  great  appreciation  of  the  effective  service  rendered  by  the  Woman's 
Auxiliary,  acting  under  the  instructions  of  the  last  General  Assembly,  we 
recommend  that  no  change  be  made  in  the  financial  operations  of  the  Auxiliary. 

In  regard  to  the  relationship  of  the  Woman's  Auxilary  to  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee: 

We  recommend  that,  inasmuch  as  it  is  necessary  for  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee  to  have  before  it  a  full  statement  of  the  benevolent  work 
of  our  Church,  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  be  requested  to  submit  for  information, 
through  the  Supervisory  Committee  of  the  Woman's  Auxilary,  full  reports  of 
their  work  to  the  Systematic  Beneficence  Committee  at  each  of  its  stated 
meetings. 

III.    General. 

I.    Concerning  Executive  Committees,     We  recommend: 

(a)  That  each  of  the  four  Executive  Committees  be  composed  of  not 
less  than  nine  nor  more  than  fifteen  members  in  the  future  constitution  of 
these  Committees, 

(b)  On  the  basis  of  the  action  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1913  (see 
page  7on),  we  recommend  that  the  recommendations  of  the  Permanent  Com- 
mittee on  Systematic  Beneficence,  relative  to  the  election  of  Secretaries  other 
than  the  Executive  Secretaries,  be  not  adopted, 

(c)  That  any  member  of  an  Executive  Committee  who  is  absent  from 
three  consecutive  meetings  without  a  sustained  excuse  shall  be  automatically 
dropped  from  the  Committee ;  and  the  vacancies  thus  created  shall  be  filled  by 
a  quroum  of  the  remaining  members  of  the  Executive  Committee,  such  members 
to  serve  until  the  next  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly. 

(d)  That  in  its  report  to  the  General  Assembly  each  Executive  Committee 
present  (i)  A  detailed  statement  of  facts,  tabulated  if  possible;  and  (2)  such 
a  series  of  recommendations  as  will  outline  the  policies  of  the  Committee  for 
the  coming  year;  and  (3)  the  attendance  of  members  at  the  monthly  meetings 
of  the  Committee. 

(e)  That  the  Assembly  refer  to  the  four  Executive  Committees,  with  in- 
structions to  consider  and  report  their  findings  to  the  Systematic  Beneficence 
Committee  before  the  next  Assembly,  the  advisability  of  having  a  Secretary,  to 
be  known  as  the  Educational  Secretary  of  Church  Benevolences,  who  shall  serve 
the  four  Executive  Committees  in  educating  the  Church  as  to  its  benevolent 
causes. 

(f)  That  the  Assembly  order  the  Stated  Clerks  of  all  Presbyteries  to  for- 
ward their  Sessional  reports,  with  the  exception  of  the  Narratives,  to  the 
Executive  Committee  of  Publication  in  Richmond  before  the  first  of  May. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  S3 

2.  Concerning  Assembly's  Printed  Minutes : 

(a)  That  a  column  be  added  entitled  "Schools  and  Colleges,"  and  that  all 
monies  contributed  for  these  causes  to  such  institutions  be  listed  in  this  column. 

(b)  That  the  column  headed  "Miscellaneous"  be  transferred  so  as  to  be- 
come the  last  in  the  list  of  benevolent  contributions. 

(c)  That  a  column  be  included  labeled  Home  Missions,  sub-divided  into 
four  columns,  labeled  "Assembly,"  "Synodical,"  "Presbyterial,"  "Congregational." 

(d)  That  a  sub-double  column  be  used  under  the  head  of  "Communicants," 
the  title  of  which  shall  be  "total"  and  the  sub-divisions  be  "resident"  and  "non- 
resident." 

(e)  That  a  general  summary  by  Presbyteries  of  the  statistical  reports 
of  Women's  Societies  be  printed  in  the  Minutes  of  the  Assembly. 

3.  Concerning  the  Assembly's  Financial  Plan : 

At  present  the  amounts  authorized  by  the  Assembly  are  announced  after  the 
Presbyteries  have  acted  and  the  churches  have  projected  their  plans  and  com- 
pleted their  canvass  for  the  year. 

In  view  of  this,  we  recommend : 

(a)  That  the  estimates  authorized  by  this  Assembly  apply  to  the  year 
1915-16  as  well  as  for  the  year  1914-15;  and  that  hereafter  the  amounts  au- 
thorized shall  apply  to  the  following  ecclesiastical  year. 

(b)  It  has  been  discovered  that  a  large  number  of  Synods  have  failed  to 
accept  their  quota,  as  named  by  the  Assembly,  and  to  distribute  this  among  their 
Presbyteries;  and  that  likewise  in  many  instances  the  Presbyteries  have  failed 
to  make  any  apportionment  among  their  churches. 

We  therefore  recommend : 

1.  That,  unless  otherwise  ordered  by  the  Presbytery,  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee  of  Presbytery  shall  understand  that,  so  far  as  the  As- 
sembly's causes  are  concerned,  the  quota  of  a  Presbytery  is  to  be  determined 
upon  a  per  capita  basis  of  the  amounts  announced  by  the  Assembly ;  and  that,  in 
accordance  with  the  instructions  of  the  Assembly,  each  Presbytery's  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee,  where  the  Synod  or  its  Committee  shall  fail  to  act 
promptly,  shall  immediately  distribute  its  quota  among  its  churches  according 
to  such  plan  as  in  their  judgment  shall  correspond  with  the  financial  strength 
of  the  churches. 

2.  That  the  Assembly  urge  upon  the  Synods  the  necessity  of  seeing  that 
this  plan  is  carried  out  by  each  of  their  Presbyteries,  and  to  this  end  secure 
report's  from  them  annually. 

(c)  We  would  call  special  attention  to  the  suggestion  of  the  Permanent 
Systematic  Beneficence  Committee,  as  outlined  in  another  part  of  the  Assembly's 
Minutes,  in  regard  to  determining  the  Assembly's  percentages,  the  methods  for 
making  a  canvass  and  the  use  to  be  made  of  the  months  under  the  present 
system,  and  we  would  also  call  upon  all  of  our  pastors,  to  whom  the  Minutes 
come,  to  read  and  ponder  these  suggestions  and  call  the  attention  of  their 
respective  Sessions  to  the  same. 


54  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY

Assembly  Home  Missions  27% 

Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief 14% 

Sunday  School  Work  and  Publication 3%

2.  That  the  following  amounts  be  named  as  the  minimum  for  each  of  the

Total $1,233,333-33—100% 

3.  We  would  also  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  and  of  the  whole 
Church  to  the  fact  that  these  amounts  are  merely  what  are  essential  to  the  bare 
existence  of  the  work  as  already  projected.  For  progress  and  development  the 
following  amounts  are  now  demanded : 

Foreign  Missions    $1,000,00000 

Assembly  Home  Missions   471,250.00 

Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief 328,245.00

4.  For  Synodical  quotas  see  Minutes  of  the  Permanent  Committee  in  the 
Appendix. 

5.  We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  appropriate  the  sum  of  $500.00,  or  so 
much  thereof  as  may  be  needed,  for  such  expenses  of  the  Systematic  Beneficence 
Committee  as  may  be  in  addition  to  the  expense  of  its  members  in  attending  its 
meetings.

asking  for  a  rule  that  the  appropriations  of  the  Executive  Committee  shall  not

the  negative. 

3.  Referring  to  Overture  No.  38,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Montgomery, 
asking  the  Assembly  to  separate  Ministerial  Relief  from  other  benevolent 
causes,  we  recommend  that  it  be  answered  in  the  negative. 

4.  Referring  to  Overture  No.  67,  from  the  Mecklenburg  Presbytery,  asking 
changes  in  the  blank  for  Systematic  Beneficence,  we  recommend  that  it  be 
answered  in  the  negative. 

5.  Referring  to  Overture  No.  65,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Western  Texas, 
asking  the  Assembly  to  approve  the  tithe  as  minimum  offering,  and  instructing 
the  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence  to  advocate  it,  we  recommend  that 
it  be  answered  in  the  affirmative. 

6.  Referring  to  Overture  No.  64,  from  the  Presbytery  of  North  Alabama, 
asking  the  Assembly  to  appoint  a  day  for  a  collection  for  other  objects  than 


56  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

those  now  designated  in  the  Assembly's  scheme,  we  recommend  that  it  be  answered 
in  the  negative. 

7.  Referring  to  overtures  from  Roanoke  and  Lexington,  asking  for 
change  in  the  time  for  making  the  Assembly's  apportionments,  we  recommend 
that  they  be  answered  as  follows :  The  relief  sought  for  has  been  already 
granted  in  a  previous  portion  of  this  report. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

R.  A.  Brand,  Chairman. 

The  following  is  the  report  of  the  Campaign  Committee  on  Evan- 
gelism and  Stewardship : 

REPORT  OF  THE  CAMPAIGN  COMMITTEE  ON  EVANGELISM  AND 
STEWARDSHIP  FOR  THE  YEAR  APRIL  i,  1913, 
TO  MARCH  31,  1914. 
To  the  General  Assembly,  in  Session  at  Kansas  City,  May,  1914 : 

The  Campaign  Committee  is  composed  of  two  representatives  from  each 
of  the  four  Executive  Committees  of  the  Assembly,  and  from  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  Laymen's  Missionary  Movement.  At  the  direction  of  the 
General  Assembly,  the  Committee  has  for  the  past  two  years  been  diligently 
"taking  in  hand  the  effort  to  have  every  church  in  the  Assembly  make  an 
Every-Member-Canvass  for  the  benevolent  causes  of  the  Assembly,"  which 
has  been  accompanied  by  conferences,  literature  and  correspondence  aimed  to 
secure  an  "earnest  evangelistic  effort  on  the  part  of  all  the  pastors  and  members 
of  our  Church,  with  the  view  of  deepening  the  spiritual  life  of  the  Church  and 
bringing  the  largest  possible  number  of  souls  to  Christ."  A  third  phase  of  the 
Committee's  work  was  an  effort  to  raise  in  large  subscriptions  $1,000,000  for 
the  reinforcement  and  equipment  of  our  mission  and  benevolent  work  under 
all  the  Executive  Committees. 

The  Committee  would  respectfully  make  a  report  along  these  three  lines  of 
activity  as  far  as  engaged  in  during  the  past  year. 

Evangelism. 

All  Presbyteries  were  urged,  in  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the 
Atlanta  Assembly  (Assembly's  Minutes,  1913,  page  60,  paragraph  6),  to  appoint 
Permanent  Committees  on  Evangelism  to  supervise  and  stimulate  Presbyterial 
Evangelism.  Up  to  the  present  forty-one  Presbyteries  have  appointed  Perma- 
nent Evangelistic  Committees,  three  Permanent  Committees  on  Evangelism  and 
Stewardship,  and  the  rest  (forty)  have  left  this  work  under  the  direction 
of  the  Home  Mission  Committees. 

Suggestions  to  these  Presbyterial  Evangelistic  Committees  have  been  care- 
fully worked  out  from  experience  of  similar  committees,  printed,  and  sent  to 
each  member  of  the  Presbyterial  Committee  entrusted  with  evangelistic  duties. 
So  stimulating  and  helpful  were  the  Conferences  on  Evangelism  and  Steward- 
ship held  during  the  first  year's  work  of  the  Campaign  Committee  that  the 
Committee  has  recommended  that  each  Presbytery  hold  at  each  meeting  such  a 
conference.    This  has  already  been  done  in  several  Presbyteries. 

Programs  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  were  sent  out  to  Presbyterial 
Evangelistic  Committees,  which  seemed  to  be  the  proper  committees  to  conduct 
such  conferences.  This  is  in  the  direction  of  making  our  Church  courts  more 
informative  and  inspiring,  especially  to  representatives  of  the  churches. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  57 

The  Committee  has  recommended  that  at  least  two  Synodical  Conferences 
on  Evangelism  be  held  this  coming  fall,  assisted  by  the  Executive  Committee 
of  Home  Missions,  one  of  these  to  be  at  the  Synod  of  Texas,  which  has  ap- 
pointed a  Synodical  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  directed  that  a  conference 
be  held. 

As  the  Committee's  evangelistic  work  has  progressed,  the  stimulating  re- 
sults of  the  conferences,  the  numbers  of  letters  received  asking  for  assistance 
and  advice  as  to  evangelistic  methods  in  church  and  Presbytery,  the  surprising 
facts  developed  with  regard  to  the  fruits  of  past  evangelistic  efforts,  the  value 
apparent  from  the  use  of  special  evangelistic  literature  and  the  large  correspond- 
ence, have  all  convinced  the  Committee  of  the  need  and  great  desirability  of  a 
man    specially   suited   to   this   important  work  to  give  his   whole  time  to  the 
stimulation   especially   of   Presbyterial,  pastoral   and  personal   evangelism.     To 
meet  this  need,  the  Committee  overtures  the  General  Assembly  at  its  session  in 
Kansas  City  to  create  the  office  of  "Superintendent  of  Evangelism,"  under  the 
direction   of   the   Assembly's   Executive   Committee   of   Home   Missions,   which 
joins  the  Campaign  Committee  in  this  overture.    Some  $3,000.00  a  year  for  three 
years  has  been  subscribed  by  individuals  to  help  defray  the  expenses  of  getting 
such  a  work  started.     As  it  grows,  the   gifts  of  the  churches   will   doubtless 
defray  the  additional  expense.     No  money  could  be  better  spent.

The  Assembly's  plan  ^Nas  presented  at  Synods  and  many  Presbyteries, 
charts  exhibited,  and  printed  matter  distributed.  Letters  of  enthusiastic  com- 
mendation of  the  Every-Member-Canvass  were  secured  from  foremost  pastors 
in  every  Synod,  and  some  of  these  were  printed  in  a  pamphlet,  "What  Some 
Pastors  Think  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass."  Other  leaflets  printed  and 
distributed  widely,  going  to  every  pastor,  clerk  of  Session  and  beneficent  treas- 
urer, were  "Paul's  Plan,"  "They  Did  It,"  "Record  of  Presbyteries,"  "E.  M.  C," 
"Notice  to  Treasurers."  Twenty-three  lantern  slides  were  made,  showing,  first, 
what  the  Assembly's  plan  is  in  its  essential  features  and  how  to  conduct  the 
canvass;   second,  what  the  plan,  thoroughly  worked,  accomplished  in  a  repre- 


6o  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

sentative  city  church,  town  church  and  country  church;  and,  third,  the  progress 
it  has  made  throughout  the  Assembly  in  Presbyteries  and  Synods.  The  churches 
in  some  fourteen  Presbyteries  have,  through  the  visitation  of  the  Chairmen  of 
Presbyterial  Systematic  Beneficence  Committees,  seen  these  slides,  and  they 
have  proven  of  great  educational  value.  It  is  hoped  that  many  other  Presby- 
teries will  make  use  of  these  slides. 

Besides  the  visitation  of  Synods  and  Presbyteries,  conferences,  distribution 
of  printed  leaflets,  charts  displayed,  bulletins  in  all  the  Church  papers,  a  most 
vigorous  correspondence  with  reference  to  the  Assembly's  plan  and  the  simul- 
taneous Every-Member-Canvass  in  March  has  been  conducted.  Every  pastor, 
clerk  of  Session  and  Beneficent  Treasurer  has  been  written  personally.  This 
educational  process  kept  up  must  undoubtedly  sooner  or  later  bear  fruit.  More 
and  more  new  churches  are  beginning  the  canvass  for  beneficences. 

The  following  recommendation  was  adopted  by  at  least  eight  Synods  and 
approved  by  the  Assembly's  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions :  "That 
Synod  requests  the  Presbyteries  to  instruct  their  Local  Home  Mission  Commit- 
tees to  notify  such  churches  as  receive  aid  from  Home  Mission  funds  that 
they  should  not  expect  such  aid  until  they  have  adopted  the  Assembly's  plan 
and  made  an  Every-Member-Canvass  for  the  beneficent  causes  and  their  own 
self-support."  Many  Local  Home  Mission  Committees  ardently  favor  such 
action. 

We  are  sorry  to  report  that  our  campaign  for  a  million  dollars  for  equip- 
ment and  reinforcement  has  met  with  poor  success.  Last  year  Messrs.  J.  P. 
McCallie,  L.  I.  Moffett  and  C.  A.  Rowland  organized  a  "team,"  led  by 
Messrs.  McCallie  and  Moffett,  which  visited  several  cities.  The  effort  was  no 
doubt  helpful  educationally,  but  the  financial  results  were  disappointing.  The 
time  of  the  year  was  not  very  propitious,  political  and  financial  reasons  rendering 
it  more  difficult  to  secure  large  contributions. 

The  Campaign  Committee  respectfully  submits  the  following  recommenda- 
tions to  the  General  Assembly: 

I.    On  Evangelism. 

1.  That  the  General  Assembly  create  the  office  of  "Superintendent  of 
Evangelism"  in  connection  with  and  under  the  direction  of  the  Assembly's  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  of  Home  Missions,  this  Superintendent  to  have  charge  of 
and  responsibility  for  the  supervision  and  stimulation  of  evangelistic  work. 

2.  That  the  General  Assembly  urge  the  Presbyteries  to  hold  Conferences 
on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  in  connection  with  their  regular  meetings,  to 
the  end  that  the  regular  Church  courts  may  be  made  more  a  means  of  inspiration 
and  help,  especially  to  representatives  of  the  churches. 

3.  That  the  General  Assembly  commend  to  the  consideration  of  all  Pres- 
byterial Evangelistic  and  Home  Mission  Committees  the  suggestions  for  Pres- 
byterial Evangelism  prepared  by  the  Campaign  Committee  on  Evangelism  and 
Stewardship. 

II.    On  Stewardship. 

I.  That  the  General  Assembly  continue  the  Campaign  Committee,  com- 
posed of  representatives  of  the  four  Executive  Committees  and  of  the  Laymen's 
Missionary  Movement,  as  a  Committee  on  Stewardship,  to  promote,  by  educa- 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  6l 

tional   processes,   the   adoption   by   the   churches    of   the   Assembly's    Plan   of 
Systematic  Beneficence. 

2.  That  the  General  Assembly  again  express  in  most  emphatic  terms  its 
earnest  desire  and  recommendation  that  all  churches,  so  far  as  possible,  at  once 
make  plans  for  adopting  the  Assembly's  plan  of  church  finance  and  for  con- 
ducting an  Every-Member-Canvass  for  beneficence  during  or  before  March,  1915. 

3.  That  the  General  Assembly  declare  in  the  most  forcible  way  to  all  the 
churches  that  the  results  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass  should  not  be  looked 
upon  as  final,  but  as  the  foundation  on  which  to  build  up  an  adequate  offering 
for  the  year. 

4.  That  the  General  Assembly  recommend  to  the  Presbyteries,  through 
their  Committees  on  Systematic  Beneficence,  the  earnest  and  careful  cultivation 
of  their  churches  in  the  principle  of  Christian  Stewardship,  and  especially  that 
part  of  the  911  churches  that  may  be  in  their  bounds  which  last  year  gave 
nothing  to  any  of  the  Assembly's  causes.

With  regard  to  Women's  Work,  we  recommend  as  follows : 

First.     That  the  Assembly  express  its  pleasure  at  the  earnest  and  efficient 

work  of  Mrs.  W.  C  Winsborough,  Superintendent  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary, 

and  of  the  Woman's  Council. 

Second.     That  pastors  and  sessions  encourage  their  Women's   Societies  to 

connect  themselves   with    the    Persbyterials   and   to   co-operate    fully    with   this 

movement. 

Third.    That  the  Women's   Societies   which  are   not   already   doing  so,   be 

urged  to  contribute  to  all  the  Assembly's  causes  on  the  percentage  basis  adopted 

by  the  Assembly,  so  far  as  this  can  be  done  without  reducing  the  contributions 

which  have  hitherto  been  given  to  any  of  these  causes. 

Fourth.     That  each  Presbytery  and  Synod  which  has  not  done  so  be  again 

instructed  to  appoint  a  Permanent  Committee  on  Women's  Work,  to  serve  as 

a  link  between  the  Women's  Societies  and  these  bodies,  and  to  represent  the 

interests  of  the  local  work  of  Presbytery  and  Synod. 

Fifth.     That  the  Executive  Committee  appropriate  from  the  funds  received 

from  Women's  Societies  the  amount  needed  for  their  annual  budget  expenses, 

according  to  a  proportion  to  be  fixed  by  the  Supervisory  Committee. 

W.  P.  Neilson,  Chairman. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Bills  and  Overtures  made  the  fol- 
lowing report,  which  was  adopted; 

BILLS  AND  OVERTURES. 
Overture  No.  73,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Upper  Missouri,   requesting  the 
Assembly  to  rescind   its   deliverance   of    1884,   declaring  baptism  by   a   Roman 
Catholic  priest  invalid. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  63 

The  Assembly  declines  to  grant  the  overture. 

Overture  No.  15,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Upper  Missouri,  asking  to  so 
change  Section  4,  Paragraph  113,  Book  of  Church  Order,  as  to  make  rotary 
eldership  and  deaconship  optional  with  the  churches  of  the  Assembly. 

Answer :  It  is  recommend  that  the  following  as  an  amendment  to  Chapter 
VI,  Section  IV,  Book  of  Church  Order,  be  sent  down  to  Presbytery,  without 
advice,  for  their  action  : 

"If  any  particular  church,  by  a  vote  of  the  majority  of  the  members  iu 
full  communion,  shall  prefer  to  elect  ruling  elders  or  deacons  for  a  limited 
time  in  the  exercise  of  the  functions  of  their  office,  this  may  be  done;  provided, 
the  full  term  of  each  officer  be  not  less  than  three  years." 

Overtures  Nos.  23  and  24,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Atlanta  and  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  of  Home  Missions,  asking  that  the  next  Assembly  be  known  as 
an  "Evangelistic  Assembly." 

The  Assembly  answers  in  the  affirmative. 

Overture  No.  75,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Kanawha,  asks  the  Assembly  to 
express  its  opinion  that  all  proper  means  and  influences  should  be  brought  to  bear 
to  discourage  the  use  of  tobacco  in  all  forms  among  ministers  and  candidates 
for  the  ministry,  church  officers  and  teachers  in  our  Sunday  Schools. 

The  Assembly  answers  in  the  affirmative. 

Overture  No.  74,  from  Rev.  J.  Addison  Smith,  asking  the  Assembly  to 
request  the  Federal  Council  of  Churches  to  consider  the  feasibility  of  estab- 
lishing a  Bureau  of  Information  on  the  advance  of  Romanism  in  America. 

The  Assembly  declines  the  overture,  in  view  of  previous  action  taken  by 
this  Assembly,  which  is  deemed  sufficient. 

In  connection  with  the  adoption  of  Overtures  Nos.  23  and  24,  the 
Assembly  was  led  in  prayer  by  the  Moderator,  praying  that  the  next 
Assembly  may  be  in  the  fullest  degree  an  Evangelistic  Assembly. 

It  was  ordered  that  the  Assembly  hear  for  ten  minutes  tomorrow 
morning  Dr.  James  S.  McGaw,  National  Field  Secretary  of  the  National 
Reform  Association. 

The  following  message  was  received  from  the  Presbyterian 
Church,  U.  S.  A. : 

Chicago,  III.,  May  27,  1914. 
Rev.  Thos.  H.  Law,  Stated  Clerk,  Kansas  City,  Mo-: 

General  Assembly,  in  session  Chicago,  cordially  reciprocates  fraternal  greet- 
ings of  General  Assembly,  Kansas  City.    We  are  brethren.

The  Standing  Committee  on  the  Minutes  of  the  Council  of  the 
Reformed  Churches  in  America  made  the  following  report,  which 
was  adopted : 

MINUTES  OF  COUNCIL  OF  REFORMED  CHURCHES. 

The  Committee  on  Minutes  of  Council  of  Reformed  Churches  in  America 
respectfully  report : 

We  have  examined  with  care  the  Minutes  of  the  Council.  Leaving  out 
mention  of  matters  of  importance  which  have  been  referred  to  other  committees 


64  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

and  reported  on  by  them,  the  following  are  the  only  items  we  think  necessary 
to  bring  to  the  attention  of  the  Assembly : 
We  recommend : 

1.  That  the  Assembly  approve  the  request  of  the  Council,  on  page  4  of 
printed  Minutes,  "that  the  Supreme  Judicatories  authorize  their  Executive  Agen- 
cies to  appoint  representatives  to  be  present  at  future  meetings  of  the  Council." 

2.  That  the  Assembly  adopt  the  following  recommendation,  page  13  of 
printed  Minutes: 

"In  order  to  make  effective  the  principles  of  comity  adopted  at  previous 
meetings  of  the  Council,  we  recommend : 

"i.  That  the  Supreme  Judicatories  direct  their  S)'nods  each  to  appoint 
three  representatives  to  act  with  representatives  of  other  Presbyterian  and  Re- 
formed bodies  in  constituting  a  Joint  Advisory  Committee  of  Comity,  for  the 
purpose  of  effecting  a  fair  exchange  of  Churches,  to  discourage  overlapping  of 
Home  Mission  forces,  to  settle  cases  of  friction,  and  promote  other  phases  of 
co-operation  in  Home  Mission  work,  the  Joint  Advisory  Committee  to  report  to 
each  of  the  appointing  Synods. 

"2.  That  in  any  city  of  less  than  100,000,  where  any  Presbyterian  or  Re- 
formed Church  is  at  work  among  foreign  people,  no  other  Presbyterian  or 
Reformed  Church  shall  open  a  work  for  the  same  people  in  that  city  until  other 
cities  and  towns  where  such  work  is  needed  have  been  occupied. 

"3.  That  in  case  of  any  denomination  contemplating  opening  work  for 
foreigners  in  such  cities  already  occupied  by  one  of  the  constifuent  Churches  of 
this  Council,  this  matter  shall  be  referred  to  the  Committee  of  Comity,  provided 
for  in  Resolution  i  of  this  report." 

3.  That  the  following  resolutions,  printed  Minutes,  page  18,  be  referred 
to  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and  Sabbath  School  Work  and  the 
Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief  for  consideration  and 
appropriate  action: 

"Resolved,  5.  That  this  Council  appoint  a  committee  to  consider,  formulate 
and  report  to  the  Council  plans  for  the  introduction  of  moral  and  religious 
training  in  our  public  schools;  plans  which,  without  violating  any  phase  of  the 
great  and  cherished  principle  of  government  by  which  Church  and  State  are 
separated  in  our  land,  may  yet  be  systematic  and  competent. 

"Resolved,  6.  That  the  Council  request  each  of  the  Judicatories  to  ap- 
point a  committee  to  co-operate  with  the  committee  of  the  Council  both  in  secur- 
ing facts  and  formulating  plans. 

"As  to  the  Bible  in  public  schools,  the  following  is  recommended : 
"Whereas,  the  Word  of  God  is  the  charter  of  the  spiritual  and  civil  rights 
of  man,  as  abundantly  illustrated  in  the  history  and  institutions  of  this  country; 
and, 

"Whereas,  persistent  efforts  are  being  made  to  exclude  the  Bible  from  use 
in  the  public  schools;  therefore,  be  it 

"Resolved,  That  the  Council  overtures  the  Supreme  Judicatories  to  use 
every  proper  means  in  maintaining  the  Word  of  God  as  an  essential  element 
in  the  education  and  training  of  the  youth  of  the  land." 

5.  That  the  Assembly  re-elect  for  the  term  of  three  years  the  following 
representatives,  whose  terms  expire  at  this  time :     Rev.  W.  McF.  Alexander,

6.  That  the  Assembly  direct  that  the  sum  of  $7S.oo,  the  apportionment  of 
expenses  of  the  Council  assigned  to  our  Church,  be  paid  by  the  Treasurer  of

The  Fifty-third  Annual  Report  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication 
and  Sabbath  School  Work  shows  that  God  has  wonderfully  blessed  the  efforts 
of  this  Committee,  and  that  remarkable  progress  has  been  made  in  every  depart- 
rrient  of  their  work. 

There  are  several  items  in  this  report  to  which  we  would  call  special 
attention. 

1.  The  old  property,  which  in  former  reports  has  been  listed  at  its  net 
cost — $47,974.05 — has  been  sold  for  $158,473.50.  A  new  lot  has  been  purchased 
on  Sixth  street,  between  Main  and  Franklin  streets,  at  a  cost  of  $32,500.00,  and 
a  new  five-story,  fire-proof  building  is  now  being  constructed  whfch  will  cost 
$80,000.00,  exclusive  of  furnishings.  The  Committee  expects  to  move  into  the 
new  plant  by  September  ist,  1914. 

2.  The  total  sales  of  books  and  periodicals  last  year  amounted  to  $227,475.50, 
making  a  net  profit  of  $11,307.26. 

3.  There  has  been  a  steady  increase  in  the  total  number  of  Sabbath  School 
periodicals  issued  until  our  Committee  is  now  publishing  no  less  than  a  million 
copies  per  month. 

As  ordered  by  the  Assemblies  of  1912  and  1913,  plans  for  the  publication  of 
a  series  of  Graded  Lessons  have  been  perfected,  and  the  publications  will  be 
available  for  use  in  our  Sabbath  Schools  by  January  ist,  1915. 

The  Committee  awarded  929  Bibles  for  the  perfect  recitation  of  the  Shorter 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  67 

Catechism  during  the  past  year,  and  2,753  Testaments  for  memorizing  the  intro- 
duction to  the  Shorter  Catechism, 

We  are  glad  to  note  a  revival  of  interest  in  the  study  of  the  Catechism,  and 
also  an  increased  activity  in  the  matter  of  teacher  training. 

The  Executive  Committee  has  been  emphasizing  the  importance  of  pro- 
moting missionary  education  in  the  Sabbath  Schools,  and  they  have  submitted 
the  following  "Sunday  School  Missionary  Aims  for  1914" : 

1.  A  missionary  superintendent  and  committee. 

2.  Officers  and  teachers  developed  in  missionary  leadership. 

3.  A  missionary  impression  every  Sunday  through  Bible  reading,  prayer, 
song  or  formal  program. 

4.  Graded  missionary  material  used  in  every  department. 

5.  Missionary  literature  regularly  circulated. 

6.  The  school  trained  in  intercession. 

7.  The  school  instructed  in  Christian  stewardship  and  contributing  sys- 
tematically to  missions. 

8.  The  school  engaged  in  some  form  of  Evangelism  and  Social  Service. 

9.  The  school  a  recruiting  agency  for  Christian  leaders  in  Social  Service 
and  Missions. 

10.  The  school  actively  participating  in  Home  and  Foreign  Missionary 
Campaigns. 

The  Committee  has  done  a  splendid  work  during  the  past  year  in  the  way 
of  Sabbath  School  Extension.  They  have  had  Sabbath  School  Missionaries  at 
work  in  ten  of  our  Synods,  and  it  is  their  ambition  to  have  field  workers  in 
every  one  of  our  neediest  Presbyteries. 

Your  Committee,  recognizing  the  fact  that  Sabbath  School  extension  means 
Church  extension,  and,  believing  that  our  Church  is  not  willing  to  take  a  back- 
ward step  with  regard  to  this  important  cause,  would  recommend  that  the 
churches  and  Sabbath  Schools  of  our  Assembly  be  asked  to  raise,  as  the  min- 
imum for  the  extension  work  of  this  Committee,  the  sum  of  $37,000.00  for  the 
years  1913-14  and  1915-16;  and  we  further  recommend  that  the  churches  be 
asked  to  provide,  as  soon  as  possible,  the  sum  of  $75,000.00  per  year  for  the 
adequate  development  of  this  work. 

The  Assembly  of  1913  directed  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and 
Sabbath  School  Work  to  investigate  and  report  its  findings  to  this  Assembly  on 
the  subject  of  "Church  Attendance  by  the  Children  and  Young  People  of  Our 
Congregations."  This  Committee  has  prepared  a  special  report  in  leaflet  form 
covering  this  important  question,  and  we  take  pleasure  in  recommending  that 
this  leaflet  be  given  the  widest  circulation;  and  that  this  Assembly  heartily 
endorse  the  recommendations  of  the  Committee  touching  this  matter,  to  wit: 

1.  That  those  who  are  responsible  for  the  direct  conduct  of  our  Sunday 
Schools  and  Young  People's  Societies  be  solemnly  exhorted  to  use  every  proper 
means  to  induce  the  children  and  young  people  to  form  the  habit  of  church 
attendance. 

2.  That  our  pastors  be  urged  to  give  the  most  serious  attention  to  this 
vital  matter,  to  the  end  that  the  children  may  be  fully  instructed  and  mightily 
drawn  to  the  house  of  God. 

3.  That  our  theological  seminaries  be  respectfully  requested  to  give  special 


68  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

attention  to  the  training  of  their  students  in  the  art  of  speaking  attractively 
to  children. 

4,  That  parents  be  charged  in  the  sight  of  God  to  organize  their  family 
life  and  to  govern  their  children  so  that  the  courts  of  God's  house  may  be  filled 
with  their  sweet  voices  in  rejoicing  and  praise. 

The  term  of  the  following  members  of  the  Executive  Committee  having 
expired,  to  wit :  Rev.  J.  P.  Smith,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Russell  Cecil,  D.  D.,  Rev.  J.  C. 
Stewart,  D.  D.,  and  Messrs.  John  W.  Friend,  Jr.,  and  M.  M.  Gilliam,  your 
Committee  recommend  that  they  be  re-elected  for  a  term  of  three  years. 

We  also  recommend  that  Rev.  W.  E.  Hutchison  be  elected  to  fill  out 
the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  G.  B-  Strickler,  D.  D.,  Mr.  W.  S.  Currell  to  fill  out 
the  unexpired  term  of  Mr.  George  Bryan,  and  Rev.  Wesley  F.  Baker  to  fill  out 
the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  D.  Clay  Lilly,  D.  D. 

Overtures. 

There  have  come  into  the  hands  of  your  Committee  seventeen  overtures  as 
follows,  to  wit: 

Overture  No.  44,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Savannah,  asking  that  an  alpha- 
betical list  of  churches  be  published  in  the  Minutes  of  the  Assembly:  This 
overture  is  answered  in  the  negative  by  action  on  the  report  of  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence. 

Overtures  touching  changes  in  blanks,  viz:  Nos.  45,  46,  47,  48,  49,  50,  51,  53 
and  54,  are  answered  by  action  of  the  Assembly  on  report  of  Standing  Com- 
mittee on  Systematic  Beneficence. 

Overture  No.  52,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Central  Texas,  asking  that  here- 
after all  report  blanks  on  Systematic  Beneficence  have  just  one  column  for 
Home  Missions :  Your  Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered 
in  the  negative. 

Overture  No.  55,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Lexington,  asking  permission  to 
enroll  its  members  in  the  order  in  which  they  were  received  instead  of  alpha- 
betically: Your  Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  in  the 
negative. 

Overture  No.  56,  from  the  Presbytery  of  New  Orleans,  asking  the  Assembly 
to  rescind  the  order  of  the  last  Assembly  with  regard  to  the  alphabetical  list  of 
ministers :  Your  Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  in  the 
negative. 

Overture  No.  57,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Red  River,  asking  that  the  Assem- 
bly's Committee  of  Publication  be  authorized  and  instructed  to  prepare  for  the 
Primary  and  Junior  Departments  of  our  Sunday  Schools  a  series  of  Graded 
Lessons,  etc. :  Your  Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  with 
the  information  that  arrangements  have  already  been  made  whereby  the  series 
asked  for  will  be  published. 

Overture  No.  58,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Fayetteville,  asking  that  the 
Publication  Committee  give  to  the  person  who  recites  perfectly  the  Shorter 
Catechism  a  Bible  printed  in  larger  type  than  that  which  they  now  give:  Your 
Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  in  the  negative,  because 
the  smaller  Bible  now  given  has  the  better  binding. 

Overture  No.  59,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Central  Texas,  asking  that  the 
Committee  on  Publication  and  Sabbath  School  Work  give  the  four  review  les- 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  69 

sons  for  the  year  to  lessons  on  the  work  of  the  four  Executive  Committees  of 
the  Assembly:  Your  Committee  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  in 
the  negative,  for  the  reason  that  information  regarding  our  Assembly  causes 
will  be  given  through  our  Sunday  School  publications  in  such  a  way  as  the 
schools  may  use. 

Overture  No.  61,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Missouri,  calling  attention  of  the 
Assembly  to  the  fact  that  the  "Missionary  Survey"  has  carried  patent  medicine 
advertisements  during  the  past  year,  and  asking  that  such  advertisements  be 
forbidden  space  in  our  Church  publications :  Your  Committee  is  informed  that 
the  advertisement  in  question  has  been  declined  further  insertion,  and  we 
recommend  that  the  Committee  on  Publication  exercise  greater  care  in  the 
future  in  excluding  all  advertisements  of  a  questionable  nature.  . 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted, 

C.  O.  Groves,  Chairman. 

The  Select  Committee  to  tabulate  the  answers  of  the  Presbyteries 
to  the  overtures  sent  down  by  the  last  Assembly  recommending  amend- 
ments to  the  Book  of  Church  Order  presented  the  following  report, 
which  was  adopted : 

AMENDMENTS  TO  THE  BOOK  OF  CHURCH  ORDER. 

The  Special  Committee  appointed  to  tabulate  the  answers  of  the  Presby- 
teries to  the  three  overtures  sent  down  for  their  advice  and  consent  by  the 
Assembly  of  1913  reports : 

We  find  that  the  vote  is  as  follows : 

1.  Fifty-eight  Presbyteries  voted  in  the  affirmative  on  the  first  overture, 
relating  to  the  union  of  our  Church  with  other  ecclesiastical  bodies,  twelve 
voted  in  the  negative,  and  fifteen  did  not  vote. 

2.  Sixty-two  Presbyteries  voted  in  the  affirmative  on  the  second  overture, 
relating  to  the  literary  requirements  of  candidates  for  licensure  and  ordination, 
five  voted  in  the  negative,  and  eighteen  did  not  vote. 

3.  Fifty-two  Presbyteries  voted  in  the  affirmative  on  the  third  overture, 
relating  to  the  disposition  of  non-resident  members,  seventeen  voted  in  the 
negative,  and  sixteen  did  not  vote. 

Your  Committee  therefore  recommends  that  all  three  of  these  amendments 
be  enacted  by  this  Assembly  as  the  law  of  our  Church  touching  these  matters. 

J.  C.  Shive,  Chairman. 

The  Assembly  then  formally  enacted  the  amendments,  as  fol- 
lows: 

I.  Amendment  to  Form  of  Government. — ist.  By  adding  to  Chapter  VII 
the  following  words  as  Paragraph  IV  of  said  chapter :  "Paragraph  III  of  this 
Chapter  shall  also  be  the  rule  governing  the  union  between  the  Presbyterian 
Church  in  the  United  States  and  any  other  ecclesiastical  body,  so  that  such 
union  may  be  effected  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  one  General  Assembly, 
the  concurrence  of  at  least  three-fourths  of  the  Presbyteries,  and  the  consum- 
mation of  the  same  by  a  subsequent  Assembly."  2nd.  By  substituting  the 
words  "three-fourths"  for  the  words  "a  majority"  in  Pararaph  90,  and  inserting 
after  the  words  "correspond  with  other  churches"  in  the  same  paragraph  the 
following  clause:    "To  unite  with  other  ecclesiastical  bodies  whose  organization 


70  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

is  conformed  to  the  doctrines  and  order  of  this  Church,  such  union  to  be  ef- 
fected by  a  mode  of  procedure  defined  in  Chapter  VII,  Paragraph  IV." 

2.  Amendment  to  Form  of  Government. — In  Chapter  VI,  Section  5,  Para- 
graph 118,  after  the  words  "government  and  discipline  of  the  Church,"  insert 
the  words  "or  in  lieu  of  the  examination  in  Philosophy,  Ecclesiastical  History, 
the  Greek  and  Hebrew  languages,"  it  may  accept  certificates  of  approved  insti- 
tutions of  learning. 

3.  Amendment  to  Rules  of  Discipline. — (i)  Combine  Paragraphs  277  and 
279  so  that  Paragraph  277  shall  read :  "When  a  Church  member  shall  remove 
his  residence  beyond  the  bounds  of  his  congregation  into  the  bounds  of  another, 
if  he  shall  neglect  for  twelve  months,  after  due  admonition  and  without  satis- 
factory reasons  given  to  the  session  of  his  church,  to  have  his  membership  trans- 
ferred, his  name  shall  be  retired  upon  a  separate  roll  until  he  shall  appear 
and  give  satisfaction;  of  which  due  record  shall  be  made.  The  foregoing  pro- 
vision shall  also  apply  to  a  member  whose  residence  is  unknown  for  three 
years."  (2)  Re-number  the  last  two  sections  of  this  chapter,  IV  and  V, 
respectively.

tion of  historical  records,  in  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of 
the  Standing  Committee  on  Foreign  Correspondence.

Thursday,  May  28,  1914. 
The  Assembly  met  at  9:00  a.  m.  and  engaged  in  devotional  exer- 
cises, conducted  by  Ruling  Elder  R.  E.  Sherrill. 

The  minutes  of  yesterday's  sessions  were  read  and  approved. 
The  lollowing  resolution  was  presented  and  adopted: 
Whereas,  there  is  a  great  need  of  ministers  to  supply  our  many  churches 
and  to  do  the  mission  work  at  home  and  abroad ;  and, 

Whereas,  there  are  already  many  fields  vacant  and  the  number  of  candi- 
dates will  not  be  sufficient  to  supply  the  need ;  and. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  71 

Whereas,  we  have  a  large  number  of  ministers  who  are  engaged  in  teaching 
and  other  lines  of  service  than  the  pastoral  office; 
Therefore,  be  it  resolved  by  this  Assembly : 

(i)  That  we  urge  as  many  of  our  ministers  as  possible  to  return  to  the 
pastorate  as  their  life  work  by  ordination. 

(2)  That  in  the  selection  of  men  to  act  as  secretaries  for  the  work  of  the 
Assembly  or  Synod  or  Presbytery,  and  also  for  the  heads  of  schools,  our  Execu- 
tive Committees  and  Boards  of  Trustees  be  urged  to  choose  laymen  instead  of 
preachers.  J.  Morton  Davis.

A  communication  relating  to  National  Constitutional  Prohibition 
from  the  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union  was  read.     The  As- 
sembly adopted  the  following  as  its  answer  to  this  resolution : 

Resolved,  That  we  are  in  hearty  favor  of  National  Constitutional  Prohibi- 
tion, and  will  do  all  properly  within  our  power  to  secure  the  adoption  of  an 
amendment  to  the  Constitution  forever  prohibiting  the  sale,  manufacture  for 
sale,  transportation  for  sale,  importation  for  sale,  and  exportation  for  sale  of 
intoxicating  liquors  for  beverage  purposes  in  the  United  States. 

The  courtesies  of  the  floor  were  extended  to  those  who  have  come 
to  represent  the  various  educational  institutions  in  the  discussion  of 
the  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  on  Christian  Education  and 
Ministerial  Relief. 

The  order  of  the  day,  the  hearing  of  the  report  of  the  Standing 
Committee  on  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief,  was  taken 
up.  The  report  was  considered  seriatim,  amended  and  adopted  as

The  following  have  come  to  your  Committee  for  consideration :  The 
Minutes  of  the  Executive  Committee,  the  printed  Annual  Report  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee,  "Our  Presbyterian  Educational  Institutions,"  published  by  the 
Executive  Committee  and  submitted  as  a  part  of  its  annual  report,  Section  III 
of  the  report  of  the  Systematic  Beneficence  Committee,  the  report  of  the 
Ad-Interim  Committee  on  Education  appointed  by  the  1913  Assembly,  Over-

a  Special  Committee,  and  Overture  35  has  been  acted  on  in  a  partial  report

Minutes. — The  Minutes  of  the  Executive  Committee  have  been  well  kept 
and  neatly  recorded,  and  show  that  the  Secretary  and  the  members  have  been 
faithful  and  diligent. 

Annual  Report. — This  report  contains  a  vast  amount  of  information,  so 
classified  and  tabulated  and  analyzed  as  to  make  every  feature  of  the  Com- 
mittee's work  readily  available  to  any  one  who  consults  the  report.  The  total

and  is  increasing,  but  is  still  smaller  than  the  need  calls  for.  The  Committee 
has  been  diligent  in  visiting  educational  institutions  and  presenting  the  claims 
of  the  gospel  ministry.  Two  hundred  and  seventy-eight  candidates  were  aided, 
24  fewer  than  last  year,  the  maximum  aid  being  $100.  Relief  was  given  to  62 
ministers,  averaging  $245.16;  to  146  widows,  averaging  $151.25;  to  20  orphans, 
averaging  $76.12.  Twenty-one  beneficiaries  were  removed  by  death.  The  En- 
dowment Fund  gained  $4,915.47,  and  is  now  $323,095.23.  The  Student  Loan 
Fund  gained  $1,802.88,  and  is  now  $11,644.80.

Report  of  Ad-Interim  Committee  on  Education. — ^This  Committee,  composed 
of  H.  H.  Sweets,  J.  L  Norris,  L.  R.  Walker,  F.  H.  Gaines,  G.  H.  Cornelson,  Jr., 
J.  R.  Dobyns,  Geo.  H.  Denny,  D.  S.  Gage,  W.  B.  Morrison,  W.  J.  Martin,  A.  E. 
Spencer,  Wm,  Dinwiddie,  R.  E.  Vinson,  and  Henry  Louis  Smith,  called  a  con- 
ference of  our  Presbyterian  educators  at  Montreat.  The  conference  was  largely 
attended  and  spent  about  two  full  days  in  earnest  and  prayerful  discussion  and 
deliberation,  and  endorsed  every  action  with  almost  unanimous  voice.  The 
Committee's  report  has  the  signature  of  every  member,  and  is  presented  to  the 
Assembly  with  a  recommendation  that  it  be  adopted  and  put  into  effect  as 
speedily  as  possible.  The  report  is  printed  in  the  Appendix  to  the  Minutes  of 
this  Assembly. 

Overtures. — Practically  all  the  overtures  referred  to  us  touch  in  some  way 
matters  covered  by  the  Ad-Interim  Report  on  Education. 

After  giving  as  careful  consideration  to  all  these  matters  as  we  could 
give  in  the  time  at  our  disposal,  calling  into  conference  the  Executive  Secretary 
and  many  educators  who  are  present  at  this  Assembly,  your  Committee  offers 
the  following

Secretary  and  Committee  in  compiling  and  publishing  "Our  Presbyterial  Educa- 
tional Institutions,"  and  commend  this  book  to  all  our  people,  urging  pastors 
and  Sessions  and  Presbyteries  and  Synods  to  use  every  proper  means  to  co-oper- 
ate with  the  Committee  in  giving  the  book  the  widest  circulation  possible. 

3.  That  the  Executive  Committee  be  authorized  to  call  in  conference  the 
representatives  of  our  Church  at  all  the  centers  where   State  institutions  are

Rubel,  G.  H.  Mourning,  Wade  Sheltman,  and  A.  J.  A.  Alexander  as  members 
of  the  Committee  for  three  years.

Education  by  omitting  Sections  V  and  VI  under  the  head  of  "Church  Connec- 
tion," and  Sections  II  and  III  under  the  head  of  "Loan  nad  Scholarship  Funds," 
and  also  fixing  three  years  for  biblical  instruction  in  paragraph  7  under

place  they  might  be  given  in  our  educational  system.

AFTERNOON  SESSION. 

1 130  p.  m. 

The  Assembly  met. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  the  Sabbath  and   Family  Religion 
made  the  following  report,  which  was  adopted : 

REPORT  OF  THE  COMMITTEE  ON  THE  SABBATH  AND 
FAMILY  RELIGION. 

Your  Committee  would  report  that  nothing  has  come  into  our  hands  from 
the  Assembly's  Permanent  Committee  on  the  subjects  of  the  Sabbath  and 
Family  Religion.  But  we  believe  that  the  questions  of  the  Sabbath  and  Family 
Religion  are  of  such  vital  importance  to  the  life  and  prosperity  of  the  Church, 
to  the  welfare  of  our  country  and  the  propagation  of  our  religion,  that  we  pre- 
sent this  report,  which  contemplates  a  definite  effort  on  the  part  of  our  Assembly 
to  promote  a  better  observance  of  the  Sabbath  and  a  better  practice  of 
Family  Religion. 

The  emphasis  laid  upon  other  kinds  of  Christian  work  has  perhaps  caused 
us  to  forget  to  stress  these  two  great  questions  that  are  fundamental  to  Christian 
life  and  for  which  the  Presbyterian  Church  has  always  stood. 

We  live  in  a  day  when  these  two  institutions  are  assailed  by  enemies  of  a 
powerful  and  aggressive  kind.  The  Sabbath,  by  sports,  pleasure  and  business; 
the  Family  Religion  by  indifference  to  its  importance  and  a  prevailing  neglect 
of  its  practice. 

The  Presbyterian  Church,  which  has  always  been  regarded  as  the  standard 
among  Christian  Churches  in  its  promotion  of  these  great  institutions,  needs  to 
take  again  her  place  of  leadership  in  stressing  the  importance  of  Sabbath 
Observance  and  the  practice  of  Family  Religion. 

That  this  Assembly  may  take  definite  and  aggressive  steps  to  develop  a 
deeper  interest  among  our  people  in  these  two  matters,  your  Committee  would 
recommend : 

First.  That  the  Assembly's  Permanent  Committee  on  the  Sabbath  and 
Family  Religion  be  urged  to  undertake  an  active  campaign  in  behalf  of  the 
Sabbath  and  Family  Religion. 

Second.  That  the  Assembly  instruct  its  Permanent  Committee  on  the  Sab- 
bath and  Family  Religion  to  appoint  a  day  for  the  presentation  of  these  causes 
from  the  pulpits  of  our  Church,  and  that  our  churches  be  requested  to  make  a 
contribution  for  the  use  of  the  Committee  in  aggressively  pushing  their  work. 

Third.  In  connection  with  the  observance  of  this  specially  appointed  day, 
consideration  be  given  to  the  request  of  the  Lord's  Day  Alliance  for  the  support 
of  its  work. 

Fourth.  That  our  Presbyteries  be  urged  to  give  more  serious  attention 
to  stimulating  interest  among  our  people  in  these  causes. 

Fifth.  That  our  pastors  and  people  be  exhorted  to  give  the  Sabbath  and 
Family  Religion  a  more  definite  and  important  place  among  the  objects  for 
which  they  are  working. 

Sixth.  That  the  following  men  shall  constitute  the  Assembly's  Permanent 
Committee  for  the  year  1914-1915 :  Rev.  Robt.  Hill,  D.  D.,  Rev.  T.  A.  Wharton, 
D.  D.,  Rev.  W.  M.  Anderson,  D.  D.,  and  Ruling  Elders  Col.  P.  B.  Hunt,  C.  N. 
Roberts  and  Prof.  E.  R.  Long.  W.  J.  Caldwell,  Chairman. 


76  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

The  following  resolution  \vas  adopted : 

GOVERNMENTAL  SABBATH  OBSERVANCE. 

WTiereas,  there  is  much  unnecessary  secular  activity  on  the  Lord's  Day  and 
"frequent  tendency  to  enlargement  of  the  same  in  some  departments  of  the 
Federal  Govrnment;  and, 

Whereas,  we  believe  the  Government  of  the  United  States  should  be  the 
ideal  employer  and  consistently  uphold  the  principles  of  the  American  Christian 
Sabbath  by  the  elimination  of  all  unnecessary  work  on  the  Lord's  Day; 

Resolved,  That  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the 
United  States,  now  in  session  at  Kansas  City,  Missouri,  request  that  the  various 
arms  of  the  Federal  Government  eliminate  all  unnecessary  Sunday  Work;  and 

Resolved,  That  we  approve  of  the  Sunday  closing  of  the  first  and  second 
class  postoffices  of  the  United  States,  request  the  closing  of  all  the  other  post- 
offices  on  Sunday,  commend  Congress  for  the  Act  of  August  24,  1912,  which 
closed  the  postoffices,  and  urge  the  maintenance  of  that  law  and  the  enlarging 
of  it  for  the  mutual  advantage  of  the  postal  department  and  its  scores  of 
thousands  of  faithful  employees. 

The  Select  Committee  to  prepare  a  missionary  declaration  made 
the  following  report,  which  was  adopted : 

MISSIONARY  DECLARATION. 

The  General  Assembly,  in  session  at  Kansas  City,  Missouri,  May,  1914, 
reaffirms  the  following  deliverance  of  the  historic  first  Assembly  of  our 
Church : 

"The  General  Assembly  desires  distinctly  and  deliberately  to  inscribe  on 
our  Church's  banner,  in  immediate  connection  with  the  Headship  of  our  Lord, 
His  last  command :  'Go  ye  into  all  the  world  and  preach  the  gospel  to  every 
creature,'  regarding  this  as  the  great  end  of  her  organization,  and  obedience  to 
it  as  the  indispensable  condition  of  her  Lord's  promised  presence." 

We  reaffirm  also  the  Missionary  Platform  adopted  by  the  General  Assembly 
at  Birmingham  in  1907,  in  which  as  a  Church  we  covenanted  with  God  and  the 
other  Christian  denominations  to  evangelize  25,000,000  of  our  fellow  men,  in 
seven  foreign  countries,  as  our  rightful  share  of  the  non-Christian  world,  and 
called  for  an  offering  of  $1,000,000  per  year  as  the  necessary  means  of  accom- 
plishing this  sacred  task. 

For  the  remarkable  progress  which  we  have  been  enabled  to  make  toward 
its  accomplishment,  we  would  express  our  humble  gratitude  to  the  Giver  of 
all  grace. 

Most  affectionately  and  earnestly  do  we  now  remind  our  people  that,  if  this 
progress  is  to  continue,  there  must  be  a  very  large  increase  in  their  missionary 
offerings  this  year  over  those  of  last  year;  and  we  herewith  call  upon  all  our 
pastors  to  use  their  utmost  efforts  to  this  end. 

As  the  best  means  of  securing  this  increase  and  overtaking  our  missionary 
task,  the  Assembly  urges  upon  all  its  churches,  societies,  Sunday  Schools  and 
Sunday  School  classes  that  each,  wherever  practicable,  assume  a  definite  obliga- 
tion for  some  definite  part  of  our  Foreign  Mission  work.

MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  ^^ 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Audits   made  the    following   report, 
which  was  adopted: 

AUDITS. 

Your  Auditing  Committee  beg  leave  to  report  that  we  have  examined  the 
book  of  your  Treasurer,  and  find  it  in  balance.  While  there  were  no  vouchers 
presented,  yet  there  was  a  certificate  signed  by  an  Auditing  Committee  certifying 
the  correctness  of  same.    We  recommend  its  approval. 

Your  Treasurer  reports  to  this  Committee  that  the  amount  of  four  cents 
per  member  paid  into  the  treasury  is  not  sufficient  to  pay  the  expenses  of  the 
Commissioners  and  other  expenses  of  the  General  Assembly.  Therefore,  we 
recommend  that  this  Assembly  request  the  Presbyteries  to  send  in  five  cents 
per  member. 

We  also  find  from  the  report  of  Perry  S.  Allen,  President  of  the  Presby- 
terian Ministers'  Fund,  that  the  old  Relief  Fund  is  in  good  shape.  This 
account  has  been  audited  by  a  committee,  and  we  recommend  its  approval- 

We  have  checked  up  the  statement  furnished  us  by  the  Executive  Com- 
mittes  of  the  Home  and  Foreign  Missions,  and  find  they  have  been  kept  in 
excellent  shape.  The  books  and  accounts  of  these  Committees  have  also  been 
examined  by  auditors  and  certified  to  as  being  correct.  We  therefore  recom- 
mend their  approval.  We  recommend  that  the  same  Auditing  Committees  be 
appointed  for  the  next  year. 

We  have  examined  the  report  of  John  R.  Pharr,  Treasurer  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  Assembly,  and  find  it  in  complete  balance.  It  has  been  exam- 
ined and  approved  by  Messrs.  R.  A.  Dunn  and  J.  H.  Wearn,  Auditing  Com- 
mittee appointed  by  your  Board  of  Trustees,  and  we  recommend  its  approval. 

We  notice  in  the  Annual  Report  of  the  Trustees  that  the  terms  of  Messrs. 
Brenizer,  Wilson  and  Shaw  expire  with  this  meeting,  and  that  the  remaining 
Trustees  unanimously  recommend  the  re-election  of  Capt.  A.  G.  Brenizer  and 
Mr.  George  E.  Wilson,  and  they  also  recommend  the  election  of  Dr.  A.  A. 
McGeachy,  pastor  of  the  Second-^  Presbyterian  Church  of  Charlotte,  to  succeed 
Dr.  A.  R.  Shaw,  who  has  moved  to  Tennessee.  We  therefore  recommend  the 
election  of  the  above  named  gentlemen. 

Your  Trustees  also  report  that  since  the  last  annual  meeting  the  death 
angel  has  invaded  our  fold  and  taken  from  us  our  Vice-President  and  one  of 
our  most  faithful  and  efficient  members  in  the  person  of  Mr.  P.  M.  Brown.  This 
leaves  a  vacancy,  and  we  recommend  Mr.  T.  S.  Gilchrist,  an  elder  in  West- 
minster Church,  of  Charlotte,  to  fill  this  vacancy,  as  requested  by  the  Trustees. 

We  also  find  the  report  of  R.  E.  Magill,  Treasurer  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  Publication,  in  balance ;  and,  while  no  vouchers  were  furnished,  the 
same  has  been  certified  to  as  to  correctness  by  an  Auditing  Committee  consisting 
of  H.  Swineford,  B.  C.  Wherry  and  Edwin  Pleasant.  We  recommend  its 
approval. 

We  have  also  examined  the  certificates  of  the  Auditing  Committees  and 
experts  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial 
Relief,  and  find  they  are  in  proper  form  and  show  satisfactory  audits  and  set- 
tlements by  the  various  accountants. 

The  following  overtures  have  been  handed  to  your  Auditing  Committee : 

First.    Overture  No.  63. — The  Presbytery  of  Upper  Missouri  respectfully 


78  MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

overtures  the  General  Assembly,  in  session  at  Kansas  City,  Missouri,  May  21, 
1914,  "That  the  books  of  the  Treasurers  of  Assembly's  Executive  Committees 
be  kept  open  until  April  15,  so  that  the  reports  of  the  churches  closing  their 
books  on  March  31st  may  reach  the  General  Assembly's  Treasurers  before  their 
books  are  closed." 

We  recommend  that  this  overture  be  answered  in  the  negative. 

Second.  Overture  No.  28. — "The  Synod  of  Kentucky,  in  session  at  Lebanon, 
Ky.,  October  16,  1913,  respectfully  overtures  the  General  Assembly,  to  meet  in 
Kansas  City,  Missouri,  May  21,  1914,  to  instruct  the  Trustees  of  the  General 
Assembly  of  the  Southern  Presbyterian  Church  to  transfer  to  the  Lees  Collegiate 
Institute  the  interest  arising  from  any  funds  which  may  be  in  their  hands  from 
the  will  of  William  Workman,  formerly  of  Bath  County,  Ky.,  the  interest  of 
which  is  now  used  for  the  benefit  of  Central  University,  of  Danville,  Ky." 

From  information  that  has  come  into  the  hands  of  your  Auditing  Committee, 
we  recommend  that  this  matter  be  referred  back  to  the  Synod  of  Kentucky 
without  action  on  the  part  of  this  Assembly. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

E.  p.  Wharton,  Chairman. 

The  Stated  Clerk  was  authorized  to  borrow^  the  sum  of  $2,500,  or 
as  much  as  may  be  needed,  to  meet  the  necessary  expenses  of  the 
Assembly. 

The  Committee  on  the  Narrative  made  the  following  report,  which 
was  adopted : 

NARRATIVE. 

The  Narratives  of  the  Presbyteries  change  but  slightly  from  year  to  year. 
Your  Committee  feels  that  it  is  unnecessary  to  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly 
to  the  points  emphasized  annually,  but  will  state  that  the  attendance  upon  the 
sanctuary  is  ordinarily  reported  good,  especially  at  one  service,  while  a  minority 
report  discouraging  congregations.  Sabbath  Observance  is  usually  good,  the 
training  of  children  is  usually  good  in  the  Sabbath  School,  but  not  in  the 
home.  Fine  effects  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass  are  noted  in  a  great  many 
churches. 

Worldly  conformity  does  not  trouble  country  pastors,  but  it  rests  as  a 
burden  on  the  hearts  of  the  pastors  of  large,  rich  and  fashionable  city  churches. 

Nearly  all  our  churches  are  supplied  with  preaching  in  some  form  by 
pastors,  supplies,  evangelists  or  laymen. 

The  call  to  the  gospel  ministry  is  evidently  presented  irom  the  pulpit,  but 
pastors  and  Sessions  do  not  seem  to  be  active  as  a  rule  in  seeking  candidates  by 
more  private  influence. 

Aside  from  these  important  but  stereotyped  observations,  your  Committee 
begs  to  note  several  important  points  suggested  by  the  Narratives : 

First.  The  wide  divergence  in  family  worship  (ranging  from  none  to  75 
per  cent,  of  the  membership  of  churches)  must  be  accounted  for  in  part  by  the 
influence  of  pastors,  present  and  former,  in  teaching  the  people  the  necessity 
of  this  vitally  important  matter. 

Your  Committee  urges  that  all  pastors  use  every  legitimate  influence  to 
persuade  their  people  to  establish  the  family  altar,  which  is  the  cornerstone  of 
Church,  Home,  and  State. 


MINUTES  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY  79 

One  Presbytery  reports  that  it  has  taken  steps  to  correct  the  neglect  of 
home  religion,  but  does  not  state  what  steps. 

Second.  That  pastors'  salaries  are  now  almost  uniformly  paid  fully  and 
promptly  suggests  a  condition  both  favorable  and  unfavorable.  It  is  commend- 
able that  our  churches  pay  their  pastors,  but  we  believe  that  in  a  great  many 
cases  the  ease  with  which  the  congregations  pay  their  pastors  indicates  that 
they  are  able  to  pay  more  liberal  salaries  than  they  are  now  giving.  The  As- 
sembly would  lay  upon  the  conscience  of  the  eldership  and  deacons  the  often 
meagre  and  pitifully  small  salaries  paid  by  rich  and  prosperous  congregations, 
both  in  city  and  country.  Pastors'  salaries  have  by  no  means  increased  as  has 
the  compensation  of  other  business,  laboring  and  professional  men. 

Third.  Many  churches  are  doing  fine  work  at  outposts  and  mission  Sabbath 
schools,  but  your  Committee  does  not  believe  that  enough  work  of  this  char- 
acter is  being  done.  Our  growing  cities  and  country  villages  constantly  offer 
opportunities  for  advance  that  our  churches  are  far  too  slow  to  accept.  We 
know  of  no  speedier,  economical  or  more  efficient  way  by  which  the  membership 
of  our  Southern  Church  could  be  increased  than  by  the  wise  establishment  of 
mission  stations. 

We  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  fact  that  many  Presbyteries 
make  effective  use  of  laymen  for  such  mission  work.  Also  the  new  Presbytery 
at  Tygart's  Valley  reports  that  almost  every  church  maintains  outposts.  We 
urge  all  pastors  and  Sessions  to  consider  this  method  of  enlarging  the  bounds 
of  Presbyterianism  and  the  bounds  of  the  Kingdom.

VOTE  OF  THANKS. 

The  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  U.  S.,  in  session  at 
Kansas  City,  Missouri,  May  21-28,  1914,  expresses  its  high  appreciation  to  its 
host,  the  Central  Presbyterian  Church,  and  of  its  most  perfect  and  admirable 
entertainment  of  this  Assembly.  We  congratulate  the  church  in  having  as  a 
Commissioner  upon  the  floor  of  this  Assembly  its  honored  pastor-emeritus,  who 
for  a  quarter  of  a  century  served  it,  and  who  is  held  by  this  Assembly  and  the 
Church  at  large  in  high  esteem  for  his  work's  sake.  We  rejoice  with  his 
people  that  his  bow  yet  abides  in  strength,  and  we  invoke  the  gracious  blessing 
of  God  upon  him  and  his  beloved  wife  and  family. 

We  extend  to  Rev.  Charles  R.  Nisbett,  D.  D.,  the  pastor  of  the  church,  our 
most  grateful  thanks  for  his  numerous  and  untiring  courtesies  to  this  Assembly 
in  general  and  to  its  members  in  particular,  and  invoke  for  him  and  his  family 
the  continuance  of  the  Divine  favor  so  manifest  in  the  work  of  his  pastorate. 

We  express  our  hearty  commendation  and  deep  thanks  to  the  Chairman 
of  the  Local  Committee  of  Entertainment,  Mr.  J.  H.  Powell,  and  his  associates, 
and  to  all  the  homes  of  the  city  for  a  hospitality  that  has  wanted  nothing  in 
spirit  or  execution  to  make  for  the  perfect  comfort  of  this  Assembly. 

We  express  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Pulpit  Supply  Committee,  Mr.  J.  G. 
Trimble,  our  deep  appreciation  of  the  successful  manner  in  which  he  arranged 
for  the  supply  of  the  local  churches,  and  to  the  pastors  and  churches  of  this 
city  for  the  courteous  opening  of  their  pulpits  to  the  members  of  this  Assembly. 

We  express  our  appreciation  for  the  accurate  and  detailed  reports  given 
daily  in  the  local  press  of  the  porceedings  of  this  Assembly,  and  to  the  First 
National  Bank,  the  railroads  and  the  Underwood  Typewriter  Company  for 
courtesies  extended  to  members  of  this  body. 

We  note,  with  pleasure  the  splendid  and  efficient  work  being  done  by  the 
Young  Men's  Christian  Association  in  this  city,  and  are  grateful  to  that  organi-

zation  for  the  privileges  extended  to  the  members  of  the  Assembly  and  for  the 
excellent  lunch  served  to  the  Assembly  on  the  last  day  of  its  session. 

The  Assembly  thanks  the  ladies  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  in  U.  S.  A. 
for  the  courteous  manner  in  which  they  carried  out  the  plans  of  the  local 
entertainment  committee. 

We  direct  that  this  resolution  be  read  from  the  pulpits  of  the  Central, 
Eastminster,  Trinity,  and  First  Presbyterian  Church  U.  S.  A.  on  next  Sabbath, 
and  request  the  local  press  to  publish  it. 

The  following  protest  against  the  action  of  the  Assembly  was 
admitted  to  record : 

PROTEST. 
Whereas,  in  our  judgment,  the  action  of  the  Assembly,  taken  this  morning, 
in  answer  to  an  overture  from  the  Woman's  Christian  Temperance  Union,  viz: 
"That  we  are  in  hearty  favor  of  National  Constitutional  Prohibition,  and  will 
do  all  properly  within  our  power  to  secure  the  adoption  of  an  amendment  to 
the  Constitution  forever  prohibiting  the  sale,  the  manufacture  for  sale,  trans- 
portation for  sale,  importation  for  sale,  and  exportation  for  sale  of  intoxicating 
liquors  for  beverage  purposes  in  the  United  States,"  was  a  deliverance  upon  a 
political  question  and  hence  was  a  violation  of  the  scriptural  function  of  the 
Church  of  God  and  contrary  to  the  historic  position  of  our  Church  on  the 
right  of  the  Church  to  make  political  deliverances,  we,  the  undersigned,  wish  to 
record  our  respectful  protest  against  said  action  in  its  political  character.

111.    REPORT  ON  FOREIGN  MISSIONS. 

At  the  close  of  our  Mission  year,  as  for  many  years  past,  we  are  called  upon 
to  record  the  blessing  of  God  that  has  attended  the  labors  of  our  piissionaries 
and  the  wonderful  manifestations  of  His  providence  in  the  fields  occupied  by 
our  workers  in  preparing  the  way  for  the  coming  of  His  kingdom. 

The  total  number  of  additions  by  baptism  reported  from  all  our  fields  is 
3,517,  which  is  332  more  than  the  number  reported  last  year,  and  is  an  average 
of  a  little  more  than  ;i;i  to  each  ordained  missionary.  Considering  the  disturbed 
political  conditions  that  have  so  hindered  the  work  in  some  of  our  fields,  we 
regard  this  as  a  very  remarkable  showing  for  the  year. 

Africa. — As  stated  in  our  last  Annual  Report,  our  responsibility  in  this  field 
has  been  enlarged  by  the  fact  that  some  tribes  who  were  outside  of  our  original 
territorial  limit  have  brought  themselves  within  that  limit  by  appeals  for  help 
that  could  not  be  resisted. 

Several  notable  events  have  occurred  in  the  history  of  the  Mission  during 


APPENDIX  85 

the  year.  The  first  is  the  opening  of  the  new  station  at  Lusambo,  the  capital  of 
th^  San  Kuru  District,  a  large  native  city  containing  about  60,000  population. 
This  station  will  be  cur  nearest  point  of  contact  with  the  Mission  of  the  M.  E. 
Church,  South,  established  among  the  Batetela  tribe,  about  200  miles  distant. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  for  cooperative  work  with  this  Mission  in  the 
use  of  the  "Lapsley"  for  transportation  and  in  the  printing  work  at  Luebo, 
v/hich,  it  is  believed,  will  be  greatly  to  the  advantage  of  both  Missions. 

Another  notable  advance  movement  is  the  establishment  of  a  hospital  at 
Luebo,  the  funds  for  which  were  contributed  by  Mrs.  M.  M.  Taylor  of  Baton 
Rouge,  and  her  mother,  Mrs.  VV.  R.  McKowen,  of  Jackson,  La. 

Plans  have  been  made  also  for  the  establishment  of  an  Experimental  Farm 
under  the  care  of  Mr.  W.  L.  Hillhouse,  a  consecrated  layman  from  Georgia, 
who  went  out  during  the  year  at  his  own  charges  to  devote  his  life  and  fortune 
to  our  work  in  Africa.  In  passirg  through  Brussels  on  his  way  out,  he  met  the 
Colonial  Minister,  Monsieur  Renkin,  who  donated  250  acres  of  land  for  this 
purpose,  to  be  chosen  anywhere  in  the  Kassai  that  Mr.  Hillhouse  might  consider 
the  most  desirable  location.  He  also  generously  offered  to  assist  in  equipping 
the  farm  and  in  stocking  it  with  cattle.  A  fine  piece  of  land  on  the  Kassai  River 
three  miles  below  Luebo  has  been  selected  and  is  in  process  of  being  put  in 
shape  for  the  purpose  intended. 

The  interest  of  Christendom  in  the  evangelization  of  Africa  has  been  newly 
awakened  during  the  past  year  by  the  celebration  of  the  centenary  of  the  birth 
of  David  Livingstone,  resulting  in  the  establishment  of  several  new  missions. 
One  of  these  deserving  especial  mention  is  an  independent  mission  established 
in  the  French  Congo  by  Dr.  Albert  Schweitzer,  author  of  a  famous  book  entitled 
"The  Quest  of  Historical  Jesus,"  and  widely  known  as  one  of  the  most  brilliant 
representatives  of  German  liberal  theology. 

While  conditions  are  far  from  ideal  in  the  political  situation  in  the  Congo, 
and  while  many  abuses  still  remain  to  be  corrected,  there  has  yet  been  such  a 
change  for  the  better  that  the  Congo  Reform  Association,  in  connection  with 
which  our  Committee  has  long  labored  to  bring  about  this  change,  has  been  for- 
mally dissolved,  in  the  belief  that  its  main  purposes  have  now  been  achieved. 
At  the  meeting  of  the  Association,  held  for  this  purpose  on  June  i6th,  cordial 
tributes  were  paid  by  eminent  leaders  of  Church  and  State  in  England  to  Mr. 
E.  D.  Morel,  to  whose  devotion  and  able  advocacy  the  final  triumph  of  justice 
and  humanity  was  so  largely  due. 

Considerable  difficulty  has  been  experienced  by  our  missionaries  in  their 
work  resulting  from  the  aggressiveness  of  the  Belgian  Catholics,  who  are  making 
most  strenuous  efforts  to  bring  the  Congo  State  under  the  religious  control  of 
their  Church.  In  one  instance  an  immoral  priest  made  a  violent  attack  on  two 
of  our  missionaries,  charging  them  before  the  natives  with  all  manner  of  crimes. 
In  replying  to  these  charges,  the  two  missionaries  made  statements  for  which 
they  were  indicted  by  the  priest  for  libel.  It  is  due  the  State  official  before 
whom  the  case  came  to  state  that  he  acted  with  promptness  and  justice  in  dis- 
posing of  it.  After  hearing  the  statement  of  the  missionaries,  he  threw  the  libel 
charge  out  of  court  as  unworthy  of  consideration,  and  later  the  priest  by  whom 
the  charge  was  brought  was  sent  home  on  account  of  his  own  disreputable  con- 
duct and  forbidden  to  return  to  Africa. 


86  APPENDIX 

The  more  efficient  manning  of  the  Mission  by  the  arrival  of  the  new  rein- 
forcements has  made  it  possible  to  visit  all  of  our  territory  much  more  thor- 
oughly than  has  been  possible  heretofore,  and  the  result  is  that  a  fuller  ingather- 
ing of  the  fruits  of  our  evangelistic  work  has  been  made.  The  number  of  bap- 
tisms reported  for  the  year  is  1,328,  which  is  an  increase  of  499  over  the  num- 
ber received  last  year,  and  of  367  over  the  largest  number  received  in  any 
previous  year.  During  the  first  eleven  years  of  our  work  in  Africa,  the  number 
of  communing  members  received  into  the  Church  was  i,i8l,  which  is  only  253 
more  than  the  number  received  in  1913.  The  total  number  of  communing  mem- 
bers enrolled  is  now  10,360,  and  the  number  of  catechumens  reported  is  67,500. 

Brazil. — The  low  price  of  coffee  and  rubber  has  produced  a  condition  of 
financial  depression  in  Brazil  that  has  made  it  very  difficult  for  the  churches 
which  were  reported  last  year  as  assuming  self-support  to  maintain  themselves. 
As  yet,  however,  there  has  been  no  backward  movement,  and  in  Northern  Brazil 
several  new  church  buildings  have  been  erected.  The  Brazilian  churches  have 
always  been  characterized  by  great  liberality  in  proportion  to  their  slender 
means,  and  Mr.  Thompson  reports  that  a  goodly  number  of  the  people  in  his 
territory  have  adopted  tithing  as  their  rule  of  giving.  He  tells  us  that  one  day 
laborer  in  his  field  brought  in  his  tithe,  amounting  to  $52.00,  at  the  close  of  the 
church  year. 

Dr.  Butler,  who  for  many  years  has  combined  the  medical  and  evangelistic 
work,  and  who  has  acquired  very  great  influence  among  all  classes  by  his  skill 
as  a  physician  and  surgeon,  has  been  greatly  encouraged  by  a  donation  of  $5,000 
by  a  friend  in  Mississippi  for  the  purpose  of  building  him  a  small  hospital.  This 
has  long  been  a  very  urgent  need  in  his  field  and  the  result  of  it  will  be  both  to 
lighten  his  labors  and  also  greatly  to  increase  his  efficiency. 

The  girls'  school  at  Pernambuco  has  prospered  in  spite  of  the  lack  of  all 
suitable  equipment.  This  school  has  from  the  beginning  been  blessed  with  a 
succession  of  teachers  whose  personality  has  made  it  independent  of  equipment 
so  far  as  securing  patronage  is  concerned.  But  with  a  suitable  building,  such 
as  might  be  erected  at  a  cost  of  about  $15,000,  the  influence  of  the  school  for 
good  would  be  very  greatly  increased. 

The  East  and  West  Brazil  Missions  both  report  a  year  of  encouragement  in 
their  work,  although  both  of  them  are  sadly  in  need  of  reinforcement  in  order 
to  maintain  the  work  as  at  present  organized,  to  say  nothing  of  further  enlarge- 
ment. The  West  Brazil  Mission  makes  an  earnest  plea  for  four  additional  evan- 
gelistic missionaries,  and  the  East  Brazil  Mission  also  needs  at  least  one  addi- 
tional evangelist.  The  Lavras  school  continues  to  furnish  for  the  Theological 
Seminary  at  Campinas  hopeful  young  men;  whose  training  in  the  Industrial 
Department  of  the  Lavras  school  is  developing  in  them  a  degree  of  energy  and 
self-reliance  such  as  we  could  not  hope  to  have  in  those  educated  under  a  plan 
which  gave  the  students  no  opportunity  of  self-support. 

China. — Changes  have  occurred  in  the  political  situation  in  China  during 
the  year  that  have  given  great  anxiety  to  our  missionary  workers.  The  pen- 
dulum of  reaction  has  swung  almost  back  to  its  starting  point,  and  the  Chinese 
Republic  exists  now  only  in  name.  The  Chief  Magistrate  of  the  country  still 
retains  the  name  of  President,  but,  ostensibly  as  a  necessity  to  the  maintenance 
of  any  government  at  all,  has  assumed  a  greater  degree  of  autocratic  power  than 


APPENDIX  87 

ever  belonged  to  the  Emperor.  He  has  even  presumed  to  offer  the  annual  sacri- 
fice at  the  Temple  of  Heaven,  which  heretofore  only  the  Emperor  was  author- 
ized to  offer,  and  which  was  the  symbol  of  his  divine  right  to  autocratic  power 
as  the  Son  of  Heaven  and  the  Father  of  his  people.  The  most  comforting  view 
to  be  taken  of  these  things  is  that  of  the  President  himself,  who  protests  that 
he  does  not  wish  to  be  a  dictator,  and  that  what  he  has  done  is  only  what  was 
necessary  to  prevent  a  lapse  into  anarchy. 

Another  serious  matter  has  been  the  restoration  of  Confucianism  to  a  pre- 
ferred place  among  the  religions  of  China.  The  President  and  his  Advisory 
Council  have  not  as  yet  gone  the  length  of  making  Confucianism  the  estab- 
lished religion  and  of  requiring  all  the  pupils  in  the  government  schools  to  go 
through  the  ceremonies  of  Confucian  worship.  It  is  feared,  however,  that  this 
may  be  done  unless  a  sufficiently  strong  protest  from  the  representatives  of 
other  religions  is  made  to  convice  the  government  of  its  inexpediency. 

There  is  no  reason,  however,  for  those  interested  in  China  from  the  mis- 
sionary standpoint  to  be  discouraged  or  to  be  impatient  with  the  course  of  his- 
tory. So  long  as  we  have  freedom  from  governmental  interference  in  carrying 
on  our  mission  work  and  a  reasonable  degree  of  protection  for  persons  and 
property,  we  have  about  all  we  can  ask,  and  all  that  it  is  good  for  us  to  have, 
in  the  way  of  help  from  the  State. 

In  close  connection  with  the  Day  of  Prayer  for  China,  which  was  ob- 
served throughout  the  Christian  world  in  response  to  the  request  of  the  Pro- 
visional Government  then  in  power,  an  event  occurred  which  can  only  be  re- 
corded with  the  deepest  satisfaction.  This  was  the  announcement  in  the  Brit- 
ish House  of  Commons  that  the  exportation  of  Indian  opium  to  China  had 
finally  ceased.  The  vigorous  efforts  of  the  authorities  to  suppress  the  custom 
of  opium  smoking  have  been  successful  beyond  expectation,  and  it  is  hoped  that 
the  accumulated  supply  of  the  drug  at  Shanghai  and  Hong  Kong  valued  at 
$40,ooo,oco  may  become  a  worthless  asset  in  the  hands  of  its  possessors.  It  will 
be  remembered  that  the  late  Dr.  H.  C.  DuBose  of  our  Mid-China  Mission  was 
for  many  years  before  his  death  president  of  the  Anti-Opium  League  of  Qiina 
and  did  perhaps  more  than  any  other  one  man  to  rid  his  adopted  cormlry  of  this 
fearful  curse. 

Our  reports  from  China  indicate  that  the  unprecedented  opportunities  for 
Christian  work,  growing  out  of  the  loss  of  popular  faith  in  the  old  superstitions, 
the  changed  attitude  of  the  higher  classes  and  the  influence  of  the  large  number 
of  young  men  returning  to  China  after  being  educated  in  America,  have  suffered 
no  decline,  but  rather  continued  to  increase. 

The  question  that  ought  to  concern  us  very  deeply  is,  what  are  we  doing 
as  a  Church  to  utilize  our  opportunity  and  meet  our  assumed  obligalion  in 
China?  Last  year  we  sent  three  reinforcements  to  the  Mid-China  Mission  and 
lost  two  members  of  the  Mission  by  death.  We  sent  one  man  and  two  women 
to  the  North  Kiangsu  Mission.  This  year  we  have  sent  one  man  and  two 
women  to  the  Mid-China  Mission,  and  no  reinforcements  at  all  to  the  North 
Kiangsu  Mission,  and  have  lost  by  death  one  man  and  one  woman  from  the 
Mid-Chira  Mission,  and  one  woman  by  death  and  one  man  and  v/cman  by  res- 
ignation from  the  North  Kiangsu  Mission.  It  is  also  true  that  in  making  ap- 
propriations it  has  been  found  necessary  for  the  past  two  years  to  cut  out  of 


88  APPENDIX 

the  estimates  sent  in  by  those  two  Missions  everything  they  asked  for  equip- 
ment except  the  contributions  specifically  donated  for  that  purpose. 

The  Theological  Seminary  at  Nanking,  in  which  our  Missions  cooperate 
with  those  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  U.  S.  A.,  the  Methodist  and  the  Chris- 
tian Churches,  reports  a  remarkably  successful  year's  work  in  spite  of  serious 
political  and  military  disturbances  that  have  occurred  at  Nanking.  One  hun- 
dred and  three  students  for  the  ministry  were  in  attendance,  of  whom  fifty-one 
were  from  the  Presbyterian  Missions.  Other  union  institutions  in  which  our 
Missions  are  taking  part  are  the  Medical  College  at  Nanking,  the  Woman's 
Training  School  at  Nanking,  the  Union  Girls'  School  at  Hangchow, 
the  Presbyterian  College  at  Hangchow,  and  The  Christian  Intelligencer 
newspaper,  published  at  Shanghai,  of  which  our  Dr.  VVoodbridgc  is 
editor.  The  circulation  of  this  paper  increased  over  i,ooo  copies  during 
the  past  year.  Among  its  subscribers  are  teachers,  students,  merchants, 
officials,  telegraph  operators  and  postofiice  clerks.  The  leavening  influence  of 
such  a  paper  throughout  the  whole  mass  of  Chinese  society  cannot  be  estimated, 
but  will  show  in  startling  results  in  years  to  come. 

Three  thousand  and  seventy-two  (3,072)  communicants  are  reported  in 
the  churches  of  the  two  China  Missions,  of  whom  387  were  added  during  the 
year,  an  increase  of  144  over  last  year. 

Cuba. — Two  years  ago,  owing  to  the  enforced  retirement  for  health  reasons 
of  six  members  of  the  Cuban  Mission  and  the  inability  of  the  Committee  to 
supply  their  places,  our  workers  in  this  field  were  so  discouraged  that  they 
were  strongly  tempted  to  abandon  the  field.  It  was  Mr.  Wharton,  the  writer 
of  the  present  year's  optimistic  historical  report,  who  wrote  and  raised  this 
question  with  the  Committee.  The  situation  has  been  revolutionized  by  the 
bringing  into  the  work  of  two  strong  and  gifted  native  ministers,  Rev.  H.  B. 
Someillian  and  Rev.  Ezequiel  D.  Torres,  and  of  Rev.  Juan  Orts  y  Gonzalez, 
a  native  of  Spain  and  an  ex-priest  of  the  Romish  Church.  Our  missionaries 
have  united  with  these  men  in  the  organization  of  a  native  Presbytery.  The 
Presbytery  began  its  work  by  undertaking  Home  Mission  work  at  Sague,  a  town 
of  4,000  people  near  Caibarien,  the  Presbytery  itself  taking  up  an  immediate 
subscription  of  $180  with  which  to  begin  the  work. 

A  continuing  urgent  need  of  this  Mission  is  for  a  school  building  costing 
not  less  than  $10,000  at  Caibarien,  where  Prof.  E.  R.  Sims  is  now  engaged  in 
the  never-pleasing  occupation  of  trying  to  make  brick  without  straw. 

Five  hundred  and  thirty-four  (534)  communicants  are  reported  as  con- 
nected with  the  churches  in  this  field,  of  whom  58  were  added  during  the  present 
year. 

Japan. — A  political  event  of  great  significance  in  Japan  was  the  downfall 
of  the  Saionji  Ministry,  because  of  its  refusal  to  accept  a  policy  of  military  re- 
trenchment, and  the  formation  of  a  new  cabinet  pledged  to  carry  out  that  policy. 
This  change  in  the  government  was  brought  about  by  the  pressure  of  public 
opinion  and  is  believed  to  represent  the  passing  of  political  influence  from  the 
Samurai  class  with  its  military  traditions  to  a  new  middle  class  composed  of 
those  engaged  in  commercial  and  professional  occupations.  This  event  is  recog- 
nized as  an  important  step  in  the  direction  of  the  maintenance  of  the  world's 
peace  and  as  so  far  conducive  to  the  interest  of  our  gospel  work. 


APPENDIX  89 

Prompt  and  vigorous  action  by  the  Church  to  meet  the  situation  in  Japan 
is  rendered  necessary  by  the  almost  totally  unreached  condition  of  the  rural 
communities  comprising  eighty  per  cent,  of  the  population ;  by  the  comparatively 
advanced  stage  of  material  civilization  and  intellectual  enlightenment ;  by  the 
inroads  of  materialistic  thought ;  and  especially  by  the  position  of  leadership 
of  the  yellow  races  providentially  assigned  to  Japan.  The  Continuation  Com- 
mittee of  the  Edinburgh  Conference  expressed  the  opinion,  after  careful  inves- 
tigation and  conference  with  the  native  leaders,  that  the  missionary  force  in 
Japan  representing  all  the  churches  ought  to  be  immediately  increased  by  at 
least  400  evangelistic  workers.  It  is  interesting  to  krow  that  some  of  the  most 
prominent  native  leaders  who  had  previously  expressed  the  opinion  that  the 
foreign  missionary  force  should  only  be  increased  by  the  sending  out  of  a  few 
experts  and  specialists,  after  learning  the  facts  revealed  by  the  investigations 
of  the  Continuation  Committee,  heart'ly  concurred  in  this  opinion.  It  was  from 
them  also  that  the  proposal  emanated  of  a  nation-wide  evangelistic  effort  ex- 
tending over  three  years,  with  the  object  of  deepening  the  life  of  the  Church 
and  presentirg  the  gospel  to  the  whole  non-Christian  community. 

Following  this  meeting  of  the  Continuation  Committee,  a  special  committee 
of  our  own  Mission  made  an  elaborate  survey  of  the  extent  and  needs  of  our 
own  special  field,  and  as  the  result  of  their  investigations  reported  that  it  would 
require  the  quadrupling  of  our  present  missionary  force  to  carry  out  what  we 
have  undertaken  in  the  territory  assigned  to  our  Church.  They  also  sent  an 
earnest  appeal  to  the  Home  Church,  signed  by  every  member  of  the  Mission, 
and  closing  with  these  solemn  words :  "In  the  name  of  Christ  our  Lord,  we  call 
upon  the  whole  Church  to  unite  with  us  in  unceasing  prayer  for  this  increased 
force  of  missionaries  and  this  enlarged  equipment;  and  more  than  that,  for  the 
guidance  and  power  of  the  Holy  Spirit,  that  we  may  be  enabled  to  reach  the 
entire  population  in  our  field  as  speedily  as  possible ;  and,  further,  that  God  may 
so  work  upon  this  nation  that  ere  another  generation  shall  have  passed  away 
all  the  inhabitants  thereof  shall  know  and  worship  the  Lord  Christ." 

After  prayerfully  considering  the  matter,  the  Executive  Committee  was 
unable  to  take  the  view  that  this  appeal  of  the  Japan  Mission  was  unreasonably 
and  hopelessly  large.  If  only  one-half  of  the  churches  on  our  roll  could  be 
brought  up  to  the  standard  of  missionary  liberality  which  a  few  have  already 
attained  the  financial  problem  involved  in  the  matter  would  be  solved.  We, 
therefore,  published  their  appeal  to  the  Church  with  our  endorsement,  and 
would  hereby  pass  it  on  to  the  General  Assembly. 

The  establishment  of  a  Language  School  at  Toyko  to  which  all  our  new 
missionaries  are  being  sent  will  probably  lessen  very  considerably  the  time 
hitherto  required  for  the  acquisition  of  a  satisfactory  speaking  knowledge  of 
the  Japanese  language. 

The  plan  of  "Affiliation"  under  which  our  Mission  has  been  working  with 
the  Native  Church  continues  to  prove  mutually  satisfactory,  and  has  proven 
a  means  of  avoiding  friction  and  misunderstanding  and  of  facilitating  the  right 
kind  of  co-opera:ion. 

The  new  buildirgs  for  the  Nagoya  Girls'  School  are  qearing  completion. 
They  are  described  as  remarkably  commodious  and  convenient,  considering  the 
small  amount  of  funds  invested  in  them.     As  soon  as  they  are  fully  completed

application  will  be  made  for  government  recognition.  When  this  has  been 
obtained  the  patronage  of  the  school  will  be  largely  increased  and  its  sphere 
of  usefulness  correspondingly  enlarged. 

The  Theological  School  at  Kobe  had  twenty-six  students  in  attendance,  in- 
cluding three  Koreans  and  one  Japanese  layman,  who  supported  the  three 
Koreans  and  gave  a  considerable  sum  in  addition  for  the  purpose  of  enlarging 
the  seminary  building. 

The  statistics  sent  by  the  Mission  do  not  indicate  the  full  and  complete  vis- 
ible results  of  the  work  of  the  Mission,  inasmuch  as  many  of  those  brought  into 
tile  church  directly  or  indirectly  are  taken  into  self-supporting  churches  and 
are  reported  in  the  statistics  of  the  native  church.  There  are  now  connected 
with  churches  under  the  care  of  the  Mission  2,778  members,  of  whom  336  were 
added  during  the  year,  an  increase  of  24  over  last  year. 

Korea. — The  final  result  of  the  Conspiracy  trial  in  Korea  was  the  con- 
firmation of  the  verdict  of  guilty  in  the  case  of  six  of  the  men  on  trial,  one  of 
whom  is  Baron  Yun  Chi  Ho,  and  the  acquittal  of  99  of  the  other  alleged  con- 
spirators. It  is  difficult  to  understand  the  grounds  on  which  this  verdict  was 
reached,  since  the  evidence  against  the  six  condemned  men  did  not  differ  in 
character  from  that  which  the  court  held  insufficient  to  convict  the  other  99. 
The  impression  left  on  the  public  mind  of  Christendom  seems  to  be  that  the 
verdict  was  dictated  by  considerations  of  administrative  policy  rather  than  by 
the  demands  of  justice.  The  only  hope  for  any  reversal  or  mitigation  of  the 
sentence  of  the  condemned  men  is  in  the  Imperial  clemency,  and  the  suggestion 
has  been  made  that  an  appeal  for  their  pardon  should  be  made  in  connection 
with  the  coronation  of  the  Emperor  in  November  of  this  year.  This  appeal 
will  probably  be  made  through  the  Committee  of  Reference  and  Counsel  of  the 
Conference  of  Mission  Boards  of  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

While  the  trial  was  pending  there  was  a  noticeable  decrease  in  church  at- 
tendance at  some  places,  due  to  the  fact  that  it  was  not  deemed  safe  for  all  the 
men  of  a  family  to  leave  home  at  any  one  time.  This  condition  of  affairs, 
however,  has  now  passed,  and  the  general  impression  is  that  the  trial  through 
which  the  native  Church  has  passed  has  been  followed  by  the  broadening  and 
deepening  of  its  spiritual  life. 

The  six  Missions  operating  in  Korea  have  since  1905  been  united  in  a 
general  council,  which  during  the  past  year  has  been  transformed  into  a  Federal 
Council,  composed  of  representatives  appointed  by  the  Missions,  and  with  a 
constitution  and  powers  approved  by  them. 

In  191 1  an  Educational  Senate  was  organized,  which  has  directed  the  whole 
Educational  System  so  as  to  secure  uniformity  of  standards,  avoid  unnecessary 
plants,  and  so  direct  the  development  of  schools  and  colleges  as  to  have  them 
head  up  in  one  Union  College  of  the  first  grade,  in  which  all  the  Missions  would 
be  equally  interested.  An  unfortunate  difference  of  opinion  has  arisen  regarding 
the  location  of  this  Union  College,  a  large  majority  of  the  two  Presbyterian 
Missions  favoring  its  location  at  Pyeng  Yang,  and  the  two  Methodist  Missions 
being  almost  unanimous  for  its  location  at  Seoul.  A  joint  committee  of  the 
Boards  having  the  matter  in  charge  ascertained  on  investigation  that  the  loca- 
tion at  Seoul  was  the  only  condition  on  which  it  wouM  be  possible  to  carry  out 
the  plan  at  all.     For  this  reason  the   Executive   Committee  acquiesced   in  the 


APPENDIX  91 

decision  of  the  Joint  Committee,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  our  Mission 
unanimously  favored  the  other  location. 

Notwithstanding  the  troubles  referred  to  above,  the  evangelistic  work  of  all 
the  Missions  reports  a  year  of  phenomenal  success,  the  number  of  baptisms 
being  11,700. 

Our  own  Mission  reports  that  the  Bible  conferences  held  during  the  year 
have  been  attended  about  as  usual,  and  that  the  zeal  and  intensity  of  the 
students  were  as  remarkable  as  ever.  The  people  came  from  the  country  dis- 
tricts, some  of  them  walking  more  than  a  hundred  miles,  and  carrying  with 
them  each  a  sack  of  rice,  a  bowl,  a  spoon  and  chop  sticks.  The  Bible  Institute 
held  at  Seoul  had  an  attendance  of  500  men  from  outside  the  city,  besides  100 
from  the  capital  itself. 

A  notable  event  in  the  history  of  the  Church  was  the  organization  at  the 
last  meeting  of  the  Korean  General  Assembly  of  a  Board  of  Foreign  Missions, 
which  at  once  entered  upon  missionary  work  in  China,  asking  to  have  a  certain 
territory  in  China  assigned  as  its  special  field,  and  appropriating  $1,000  for  its 
first  year's  work. 

The  number  of  communicants  in  the  churches  connected  with  our  Mission 
is  7,291,  of  whom  1,095  were  added  during  the  year. 

Mexico. — Matamoras  is  the  only  station  of  our  Mexico  Mission  where  the 
regular  work  has  been  carried  on  during  the  year.  Miss  McClelland  has  con- 
ducted her  school  work  without  interfere^ice,  and  the  regular  church  services 
have  been  held.  Mr.  Morrow  and  Mr.  Shelby  have  remained  at  Montemorelos 
the  greater  part  of  the  time  in  order  to  protect  our  school  property  there,  and 
to  keep  in  touch  as  much  as  possible  with  the  native  ministers  and  workers. 
Their  position  has  not  been  altogether  free  from  danger,  but  to  have  left  their 
post  would  have  seemed  to  be  an  abandonment  of  the  Native  Church  in  a  time 
of  great  trial.  This  they  were  unwilling  to  do,  and  the  Executive  Committee 
did  not  consider  that  the  peril  to  which  they  were  exposed  was  sufficiently  grave 
to  make  it  necessary  to  issue  a  peremptory  order  for  them  to  leave  the  country. 
All  the  other  missionaries  have  been  busy  helping  the  Texas-Mexican  work. 

Don  Leandro  Gaza  Mora  found  it  necessary  to  leave  Mexico  in  order  to 
escape  persecution,  and  is  now  at  Brownsville,  Texas.  In  passing  through 
Laredo  he  was  arrested  by  the  Federals,  imprisoned  and  condemned  to  be  shot. 
Fortunately,  he  had  been  naturalized  as  an  American  citizen,  and  on  demand 
of  our  American  Consul  at  Laredo  he  was  released. 

The  general  situation  seems  to  be  steadily  progressing  from  bad  to  worse. 
Military  chiefs,  at  the  head  of  bands  of  brigands,  some  calling  themselves 
Federalists  and  others  Constitutionalists,  ard  each  seeming  to  be  trying  to  outvie 
the  other  in  cruelty  and  ferocity,  fighting  under  the  b'ack  flag,  have  ravaged 
the  country  at  will,  putting  a  stop  to  all  trade  and  commerce  and  holding  a 
reign  of  terror  over  the  masses. 

Clamorous  demands  for  intervention  are  made  in  some  quarters,  it  would 
seem,  with  little  regard  for  or  understandirg  of  the  fearful  consequences  which 
such  a  step  would  entail.  Our  Washington  government  is  dealing  with  the 
matter  with  fuller  information,  both  of  the  facts  and  of  the  problems  involved, 
than  it  is  possible  for  any  ore  else  to  be  possessed  of.  We  have  unbounded 
confidence  both  in  the  wisdom  and  the  high  Christian  motives  that  are  con- 


92  APPENDIX 

trolling  the  administration  in  this  matter,  and  our  missionaries  have  informed 
us  that  the  peace  policy  of  the  President  meets  with  their  unanimous  and  heart)' 
endorsement. 

On  the  general  subject  of  intervention,  we  quote  with  our  approval  the  fol- 
lowing words  of  Rev.  A.  B.  Carrero,  a  native  Presbyterian  minister,  now  living 
in  Dallas,  Texas.  He  says:  "We  need  intervention?  Yes,  we  do.  But  not  the 
intervention  of  soldiers  with  cannon  and  firearms.  We  need  the  intervention 
of  Christian  soldiers,  Christian  teachers  and  missionaries,  who  will  devote  their 
time,  their  energy  and  their  lives  to  the  betterment  of  Mexico.  The  best 
weapon  is  the  Word  of  God.    The  best  Mexicans  are  those  who  are  Christians." 

The  total  number  of  communicants  in  this  field  is  1,109,  of  whom  115  were 
added  durirg  the  year. 

Needs  of  the  Field. — Reinforcements  arc  called  for  by  the  Missions  as 
follows : 

The  African  Mission  needs  at  once  two  physicians  and  two  trained  nurses. 

The  North  Brazil  Mission  needs  two  additional  ordained  men  and  one 
female  teacher. 

The  East  Brazil  Mission  needs  two  additional  ordained  men. 

The  West  Brazil  Mission  asks  for  three  ordained  men. 

The  two  China  Missions  issued  a  statement  of  their  needs  last  year,  which 
remains  unchanged,  with  the  exception  that  one  female  teacher,  one  trained 
nurse  and  one  physician  included  in  their  call  were  sent  out  during  the  year. 
The  statement  therefore  stands  at  present  as  follows : 

The  Mid-China  Mission  asks  for  twenty-three  additional  missionaries, 
thirteen  of  these  being  men  and  ten  single  women. 

The  North  Kiangsu  Mission  asks  for  nine  men  and  twelve  single  women. 

For  its  immediate  need  the  Japan  Mission  asks  for  eight  ordained  men  and 
four  single  women.  For  the  ultimate  need  of  the  work  in  that  field  large  addi- 
tional reinforcements  are  demanded,  but  the  Mission  would  be  greatly  encour- 
aged by  receiving  the  addition  of  the  number  stated  above  during  the  present 
year. 

The  total  number  of  reinforcements  asked  for  by  the  Missions  is  68,  of 
whom  not  less  than  35  should  be  sent  during  the  present  year. 

Reinforcements. — Eleven  new  missionaries  were  added  to  the  roll  during 
the  year. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  H.  Setzer,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Roy  F.  Cleveland,  and  Miss  Elda 
M.  Fair  were  sent  to  Africa. 

Dr.  F.  R.  Crawford,  Miss  Millie  S.  Beard,  and  Miss  Helen  M.  Howard 
were  sent  to  China. 

Rev.  L.  C.  McC.  Smythe  was  sent  to  Japan. 

Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  C.  Crane  were  sent  to  Korea. 

As  instructed  by  the  Assembly,  for  e?ch  new  missionary  sent  to  the  field 
the  Committee  secured  a  pledge  of  $1,200  per  annum  for  support  in  the  field,  and 
cash  contributions  of  the  full  amount  required  for  outfit  and  travel.  It  was 
understood  in  every  case  that  these  contributions  were  to  be  over  and  above 
previous  gifts  of  the  donors,  and  also  over  and  above  what  they  would  other- 
wise have  given.  The  utmost  caution  was  observed  that  in  sending  out  these 
reinforcements  no  increased  financial  obligation  should  be  incurred  for  which 
full  provision  had  not  been  made. 


APPENDIX  93 

Losses.— Rev.  and  Mrs.  J.  C.  McQueen  retired  from  the  work  in  Africa  on 
account  of  the  failure  of  health  of  Mrs.  McQueen. 

Rev.  J.  L.  Stuart,  D.  D.,  of  the  Mid-China  Mission,  died  at  Hangchow, 
November  24,  1913. 

Mrs.  A.  A.  McFayden,  of  the  North  Kiangsu  Mission,  died  at  Hsuchoufu, 
January  17,  1914. 

Mrs.  H.  C.  DuBose,  of  the  Mid-China  Mission,  died  at  Soochow,  February 
12,  1914. 

Miss  Sala  Evans  retired  from  the  work  in  Japan. 

Dr.  and  Mrs.  William  Malcolm  retired  by  resignation  from  the  work  in 
the  North  Kiangsu  China  Mission. 

finances. — During  the  last  year  the  Committee,  clearly  recognizing  from 
the  first  the  circumstances  unfavorably  affecting  the  Foreign  Mission  income, 
has  pursued  the  most  conservative  possible  course,  the  work  being  held  sta- 
tionary and  all  appeals  for  reinforcements  being  refused  except  in  a  few  cases 
of  indispensable  need.  The  eleven  new  missionaries  sent  out  were  but  three 
more  than  the  year's  losses. 

In  accordance  with  the  fixed  policy  of  the  Committee,  for  each  of  these  new 
missionaries  the  total  $1,200  cost  per  year,  plus  the  expense  of  outfit  and  travel, 
was  provided  for  in  advance,  over  and  above  previous  contributions,  thus 
balancing  the  increase  of  expense  with  an  equal  net  increase  of  income. 

Permanent  Increase. — During  the  whole  of  the  past  year  steady  efforts  have 
been  in  progress  to  enlarge  the  Committee's  permanent  and  dependable  income 
by  inducing  churches  and  minor  organizations,  while  increasing  their  gifts,  to 
pledge  definite  annual  amounts  for  the  support  of  some  definite  part  of  the 
existing  work,  or  some  missionary  already  on  the  field.  One  missionary  candi- 
date has  been  employed  for  the  whole  and  two  others  for  a  part  of  the  year  in 
this  Forward  Movement  work,  while  the  office  has  helped  by  correspondence 
and  in  other  ways. 

Informafion  and  Effort. — During  the  past  year  the  Committee  has  taken 
the  Church  at  large  into  its  confidence,  keeping  it  continually  and  fully  informed 
as  to  the  progress,  perils,  and  needs  of  the  work,  and  doing  everything  possible 
in  the  way  of  suggested  methods  of  increase ;  in  the  way  of  personal  letters 
and  leaflets  to  pastors,  Presbyterial  Chairmen,  Society  Presidents,  Sunday  School 
Superintendents,  and  thousands  of  well-to-do  individua's  throughout  the  Church; 
by  recommending  and  most  carefully  preparing,  with  the  effective  aid  of  the 
Woman's  Auxiliary,  for  a  Foreign  Mission  Week  of  Prayer  and  Self-Denial  in 
February ;  and  in  every  other  feasible  way  to  brirg  the  receipts  up  to  the  cost 
of  the  rigidly  restricted  work  of  the  year.  (For  example,  over  one  hundred 
thousand  Self-denial  Envelopes  for  extra  offerings  were  ordered  by  pastors, 
society  presidents,  and  Sunday  School  superintendents.) 

It  is  our  conviction  that  these  extraordinary  efforts  have  prevented  what 
would  otherwise  have  been  an  almost  irretrievable  catastrophe  in  our  Foreign 
Mission  work.     In  spite  of  them,  however,  there  has  been  a  falling  short. 

Receipts. — The  total  receipts  from  all  sources  were  $561,179,  of  which 
$46,680  were  special  donations  for  objects  outs'de  of  the  year's  budget,  leaving 
$514,499  for  the  year's  work,  the  actual  cost  of  which  was  $550,915.  The 
receipts  thus  fall  short  $36,416.     These  figures  do  not  correspond  exactly  with 


94.  APPENDIX 

those  in  the  Treasurer's  report,  because,  after  his  books  were  closed,  it  was 
learned  that  $7,315,  which  had  been  understood  and  entered  as  a  special,  was 
intended  by  the  donor  for  the  regular  work,  whereupon  the  transfer  was  im- 
mediately ordered  by  the  Committee. 

No  doubt  there  was  a  reaction  in  some  quarters  from  the  debt-paying 
effort  of  the  previous  year.  But  this,  we  believe,  was  compensated  for  largely, 
if  not  entirely,  by  the  new  interest  and  workers  developed  by  that  effort,  and 
by  the  determination,  revealed  in  our  correspondence,  on  the  part  of  numbers 
of  our  pastors  to  maintain  the  high  standard  that  was  reached  that  year. 

IVhy  a  Shortage? — The  chief  explanation  of  this  shortage  can  be  given  in 
one  sentence.  The  total  net  effect  of  the  lessened  percentage  and  of  the  metliod 
of  applying  many  of  the  recent  changes  in  the  Church's  financial  arrangements 
has  been  tlie  reduction  of  the  regular  income  for  Foreign  Missions  and  the 
vastly  increased  difficulty  of  permanently  enlarging  that  income. 

1.  The  last  General  Assembly  reduced  by  one-tenth  the  recommended 
percentage  of  gifts  to  Foreign  Missions.  The  effect  of  this  in  decreasing  the 
Foreign  Mission  income  has  been  immense  and  continuous.  It  will  be  remem- 
bered that  when  this  matter  was  pending  the  Committee's  representative  stated 
to  the  Assembly  most  plainly  and  earnestly  that  if  the  proposed  reduction  were 
made  it  would  result  in  a  large  deficit  at  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year. 

2.  The  number  of  regular  objects  to  which  the  Women's  Societies  con- 
tribute has  been  greatly  increased,  with  the  result  that,  despite  their  generous 
zeal  for  this  cause,  a  large  amount  of  money  which  has  heretofore  formed  a 
regular  part  of  the  Foreign  Mission  income  is  now  distributed  among  a  variety 
of  other  causes.    We  are  not  complaining  of  this,  but  simply  stating  a  fact. 

3.  The  Every-Member-Canvass  in  many  churches  has  been  so  conducted  as 
to  increase  the  Foreign  Mission  contribution ;  in  many  others,  as  our  correspond- 
ence shows,  it  has  decreased  it;  in  others  it  has  led  to  the  abandonment  of 
definite  Foreign  Mission  obligations  previously  carried;  while  in  the  great 
majority  of  churches  it  has  completely  blocked  our  efforts  at  pledged  and 
permanent  increase  of  income.  Since  the  Every-Member-Canvass  secures  in 
March  subscriptions  for  all  the  causes,  payable  weekly,  and  since  for  two  or 
three  years  this  canvass  has  been  vigorously  pushed  among  an  ever-enlarging 
percentage  of  our  churches,  one  would  suppose  that  the  result  would  be  an 
increase  in  the  receipts  of  our  Committee  between  April  ist  and  January  ist. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  there  has  been  no  increase  for  this  period  during  these 
years. 

We  are  hearty  believers  in  Every-Member-Canvasses.  We  have  freely  and 
cheerfully  given  six  months  of  the  time  of  one  member  of  our  official  force  to 
the  General  Asembly's  Campaign  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship, 
which  is  charged  with  the  promotion  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass,  to  assist 
it  in  this  work.  But  even  good  things  are  susceptible  of  misuse.  We  endorse 
the  Assembly's  Plan,  but  the  Campaign  Committee  itself,  at  its  recent  meeting 
in  Atlanta  on  March  31st,  perceiving  the  financial  perils  of  a  wrongly-used 
canvass,  as  well  as  the  advantages  of  one  rightly  handled,  unanimously  recom- 
mended to  the  next  Assembly  "that  it  declare  in  the  most  forcible  way  to  all 
the  churches  that  the  results  of  the  Every-Member-Canvass  should  not  be  looked 
upon  as  final,  but  as  the  foundation  on  which  to  build  up  an  adequate  offering 
for  the  year." 


APPENDIX  95 

That  our  experience  is  not  peculiar  is  shown  by  the  following  statement, 
made  us  by  the  Foreign  Secertary  of  the  Southern  Methodist  Board  of  Missions 
in  answer  to  personal  inquiry :  "The  agitation  for  the  last  two  or  three  years 
for  the  Every-Member-Canvass  and  the  Unified  Budget  as  a  feature  of  it,  has 
made  it  vastly  harder  for  us  to  raise  the  needed  Foreign  Mission  funds." 

It  is  surprising  that  this  combination  of  adverse  influences  has  not  resulted, 
despite  our  efforts,  in  an  immense  and  prostrating  debt.  That  the  shortage  is 
no  greater  than  it  is  fills  us  with  hope  for  the  future  and  with  gratitude  to 
God  and  to  that  great  army  of  men  and  women  and  young  people  throughout 
our  Church  who  have  rallied  so  nobly  to  the  help  of  this  cause. 

Financial  Recommendations. — i.  One  principal  reason  which  originally  led 
to  the  appointment  of  the  Assembly's  Committee  on  Systematic  Beneficence  was 
the  necessity  of  devising  some  plan  to  reduce  the  number  of  collections,  which 
had  grown  embarrassingly  large.  The  financial  plan  devised  by  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee  and  adopted  by  the  Assembly  very  properly  provided 
for  this  need.  But  in  the  application  of  this  plan  a  large  number  of  our 
churches  have  gone  to  the  extreme  of  presenting  all  the  benevolent  causes 
(local  church  expenses  often  included)  to  the  people  in  one  Every-Member- 
Canvass,  with  the  understanding  expressed  or  implied  that  this  would  be  the 
only  financial  call  for  benevolences  during  the  year.  This  discharge  of  all  finan- 
cial responsibility  for  the  needs  of  Christ's  kingdom  for  a  whole  year  by  a 
single  pledge,  which  may  represent  a  quite  inadequate  offering  on  the  part  of 
individuals  and  of  the  entire  congregation,  is  so  susceptible  of  abuse,  it  may  so 
easily  minister  to  slothfulness  in  the  pulpit  and  selfishness  and  ignorance  in  the 
pew,  that  we  think  the  Assembly  should  by  all  means  safeguard  its  plan  in 
accordance  with  the  above  recommendation  of  the  Campaign  Committee  on 
Evangelism  and  Stewardship. 

2.  It  is  our  profound  conviction  that  if  our  Church  is  to  accomplish  its 
missionary  task,  the  General  Assembly  must  use  its  utmost  influence  to  secure 
for  Foreign  Missions  a  separate  and  distinct  canvass  in  every  one  of  its 
churches.  While  the  action  of  previous  Assemblies  has  left  it  optional  with 
the  churches  either  to  take  one  canvass  for  all  the  causes  or  to  have  one  canvass 
for  the  home  causes  and  a  separate  one  for  Foreign  Missions,  still  the  general 
impression  has  been  that  the  plan  of  one  canvass  for  all  the  causes  is  "the 
Assembly's  Plan,"  from  which  the  other  plan  is  only  a  permissible  aberration. 
For  this  reason,  and  also  because  the  unified-budget-single-canvass-plan  is 
simpler  and  involves  less  labor,  it  has  been  adopted  by  a  large  majority  of  our 
churches. 

We  believe  that  Foreign  Missions  should  have  an  independent  presentation 
and  canvass : — 

(i)  Because  of  the  sacredness  and  immensity  of  the  interests  at  stake,  the 
unspeakable  needs  and  the  unprecedented  opportunities  that  challenge  us.  As  a 
Church,  we  have  accepted  as  our  share  and  we  have  covenanted  with  our  mis- 
sionary Savior  and  with  the  other  Christian  denominations  to  evangelize 
25,000,000  of  the  non-Christian  world.  They  are  dependent  on  us  for  their 
knowledge  of  Jesus  Christ. 

(2)  Because  to  plant  and  propagate  Christianity  in  a  foreign  land  requires 
all  the  forms  of  effort  and  expense  that  are  required  at  home,  with  medical  work 


96  APPENDIX 

in  addition.  To  treat  Foreign  Missions  as  simply  "one  of  the  causes"  is  mis- 
leading. As  a  matter  of  fact,  Foreign  Missions  is  all  of  the  causes  in  one.  The 
vastness  and  variety  of  its  needs  entitle  it  to  a  large  and  distinct  place  in  the 
eye  and  life  of  the  Church. 

(3)  Because  a  separate  canvass  for  Foreign  Missions  with  a  view  to  the 
assumption  of  definite  responsibility  for  some  definite  part  of  the  foreign  work, 
such  as  the  salary  of  a  missionary,  has  been  the  chief  means  by  which  our 
Foreign  Mission  work  has  been  built  up  to  its  present  proportions.  The  hard 
and  fast  omnibus-budget-system,  as  at  present  widely  used,  though  not  adopted 
by  the  Assembly,  not  only  tends  eflfectually  to  block  all  further  such  expansion; 
as  a  matter  of  fact,  it  is  the  most  frequent  reason  given  for  the  abandonment 
of  specific  Foreign  Mission  obligations  heretofore  carried. 

(4)  Because  the  separate  presentation  and  canvass  is  essential  to  the 
adequate  missionary  education  of  our  people  and  the  continued  growth  of  the 
missionary  spirit  of  our  Church. 

(5)  Because  thereby  the  other  causes  will  not  be  hurt,  but  helped,  since  all 
experience  proves  that  the  Foreign  Mission  appeal,  through  its  intrinsic  inter- 
estingness,  its  unique  unselfishness,  its  breadth  of  outlook,  is  the  most  effective 
means  of  developing  in  churches  and  individuals  a  fruitful  missionary  spirit,  to 
the  benefit  of  every  department  of  the  Church's  work.  Our  own  General  As- 
sembly has  declared,  and  our  benevolence  statistics  prove,  that  as  a  rule  the 
churches  which  do  most  for  the  work  abroad  do  most  also  for  the  work  at 
home. 

3.  If  the  percentage  system  is  to  be  retained,  which  has  the  unfortunate 
peculiarily  of  teaching  that  the  only  way  to  increase  the  gifts  to  one  cause  is 
by  an  exactly  equal  subtraction  from  other  causes,  we  recommend  that  the  60 
per  cent,  for  Foreign  Missions  be  restored.  With  all  the  extra  efforts  put  forth 
last  year,  the  total  receipts  for  the  regular  work  were  $514,499,  as  against  the 
work's  actual  cost  of  $550,709.81.    These  facts  speak  for  themselves. 

4.  As  the  Assembly's  estimate  of  the  annual  amount  needed  for  the 
evangelization  of  our  share  of  the  non-Christian  world  is  $1,000,000,  we  recom- 
mend that  the  Assembly  call  upon  the  Church  for  this  amount  as  the  necessary 
means  of  meeting  this  most  solemn  responsibility. 

5.  We  recommend  that  the  last  complete  week  in  February,  beginning  Sun- 
day, be  appointed  by  the  Assembly  as  the  Foreign  Mission  Week  of  Prayer  and 
Self-Denial  to  be  observed  throughout  the  entire  Church. 

6.  We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  encourage  the  assumption  by  churches, 
societies,  Sunday  Schools,  S.  S.  classes  and  individuals  of  definite  responsibility 
for  definite  parts  of  the  foreign  work. 

Financial  Outlook.  Instructions  Asked. — The  Treasurer's  careful  estimate 
for  the  coming  year  indicates  that  it  will  require  $570,615  to  maintain  the  work 
another  year  on  its  present  basis.  This  figure  is  $56,116  more  than  this  past 
year's  receipts  for  the  regular  work,  to  say  nothing  of  the  shortage. 

On  several  important  matters  touching  its  future  policy  the  Committee  de- 
sires instruction  from  the  General  Assembly: 

I.  Shall  we  send  out  the  reinforcements  that  are  most  sorely  needed,  of 
course  rigidly  adhering  to  our  settled  policy  of  requirirg  the  total  cost  involved 
to  be  provided  for  in  advance  over  and  above  previous  contributions? 


APPENDIX  97 

If  the  decision  is  to  send  out  absolutely  no  reinforcements  for  an  inde- 
terminate period,  we  shall  profoundly  discourage  our  faithful  missionaries  and 
our  volunteers;  we  shall  drive  the  latter  into  the  service  of  other  Churches; 
and  in  a  few  years  we  shall  be  suffering,  as  the  experience  of  other  Boards  that 
have  pursued  this  policy  proves,  from  a  Church-wide  ebb  of  missionary  zeal  and 
a  crippling  dearth  of  applicants  for  our  foreign  work. 

2.  Shall  we  enforce  the  only  practicable  and  effective  form  of  retrench- 
ment known  to  our  committee,  namely :  the  discharge  of  the  native  workers  at 
our  stations? 

When  the  great  debt  was  at  its  height,  a  letter  from  a  former  Treasurer 
was  interpreted  by  many  of  our  missionaries  as  ordering  this  to  be  done.  It 
created  an  instant  rebellion.  The  following  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  letters  re- 
ceived: "How  can  the  native  helpers  be  cut  off?  Imagine  a  whole  Presbytery 
in  America  turning  off  every  pastor  in  it  at  one  blow.  When  they  wanted  to 
get  them  again  how  could  they  get  them?  In  the  meantime  are  they  to  starve 
to  death?  Tney  left  their  professions  to  preach  the  gospel,  and  in  most  cases 
they  cannot  go  back  to  the  old  work  again.  We  have  been  years  getting  things 
up  to  this  point,  and  they  cannot  be  abandoned  at  this  stage.  Our  helpers  and 
teachers  could  not  be  replaced  without  years  of  labor,  and  we  need  so  many 
more  than  we  have.  We  cannot  give  them  up.  As  long  as  we  have  bread  to  eat 
we  will  share  it  with  them." 

3.  Should  the  receipts  in  the  course  of  the  fiscal  year  threaten  another 
shortage,  does  the  Assembly  instruct  the  Committee  to  pursue  the  same  general 
policy  as  last  year,  namely:  to  keep  the  Church  informed  of  the  facts  and  to  use 
such  special  means  as  seem  to  the  Committee  legitimate  and  wise  to  increase 
the  Foreign  Mission  income? 

It  is  our  judgment  that  the  adoption  of  wise  and  vigorous  measures  by  the 
Assembly,  and  its  authoritative  appeal  to  the  heart  and  conscience  of  our 
Church  to  grapple  worthily  with  its  missionary  task,  will  obviate  the  necessity 
of  the  backward  steps  indicated  in  "i"  and  "2"  above,  the  effect  of  which,  we 
believe,  both  on  our  home  constituency  and  our  work  abroad,  would  be  more 
disastrous,  far-reaching  and  persistent  than  at  first  sight  would  seem  probable. 

Overdrafts. — The  Executive  Committee,  at  its  meeting  on  February  10, 
withdrew  authority  from  the  Mission  Treasurers  to  draw  in  any  sum  ex- 
cecdirg  $100,  the  total  amount  monthly  not  to  exceed  $250.  The  Treasurer  of 
the  Executive  Committee  now  sends  drafts  monthly,  and  all  orders  for  mer- 
chandise are  to  be  sent  to  him.  This  applies  to  all  the  Misisons  except  Africa, 
and  a  committee  composed  of  the  Treasurer  and  Mr.  W.  A.  Dale  has  been 
appointed  to  devise,  if  possible,  some  better  plan  than  the  one  now  in  use  with 
that  Mission. 

The  above  action  gives  to  the  Executive  Committee  the  control  of  the 
finances  of  the  Missions,  and  when  a  satisfactory  solution  of  the  African  prob- 
lem is  reached  there  will  be  no  future  trouble  from  overdrafts. 

Financial  Adjustments. — The  Treasurer's  statement  of  resources  and  liabil- 
ities shows  an  excess  of  liabilities  over  resources  of  $18,050.23,  but  included  in 
this  stalement  as  resources  are  several  accounts  against  the  Missions,  which, 
after  proper  adjustment,  it  will  be  necessary  to  make  additional  appropriations 
for,  thus  increasing  our  liabilities  by  that  amount.  This  will  probably  make 
our  total  net  liabilities  not  less  than  the  deficit  of  $36,416  shown  above. 


98  APPENDIX 

The  Lavras  School  Debt. — For  several  years  past  the  Instituto  Evangelico 
at  Lavras  has  been  reporting  deficits  in  its  accounts,  but  an  itemized  statement 
of  that  account  was  not  received  until  September,  1913,  This  is  not  a  debt  of 
the  Brazil  Mission  or  of  the  Executive  Committee,  but  is  a  debt  of  the  Lavras 
School.  The  balance  due  on  that  debt  is  now  estimated  to  be  about  $30,000,  of 
which  amount  $16,000  is  secured  by  mortgage  on  the  school  and  farm,  executed 
by  Dr.  Gammon  under  what  he  considered  as  authority  contained  in  a  power  of  at- 
torney given  him  by  the  Executive  Committee,  the  Executive  Committee  being  un- 
der the  impression  that  the  school  had  been  incorporated  prior  to  the  execution  of 
the  mortgage.  The  land  and  buildings  covered  in  the  mortgage  are  estimated 
to  be  worth  frcm  $75,000  to  $90,000.  The  school  is  now  being  operated  by  the 
Mission,  and  plans  have  been  made  by  it  which  give  every  reason  for  us  to 
hope  that  it  will  be  self-supporting  in  the  future,  and  that  there  will  be  a 
gradual  reduction  of  the  debt. 

Material  Equil^meut. — Regarding  the  recommendation  of  a  former  Assembly 
that  a  detailed  statement  of  the  material  equipment  of  each  mission  station  be 
published  in  the  Annual  Report,  the  Committee  reports  steady  progress  toward 
the  completion  of  this  task,  some  stations  having  not  yet  made  entirely  satis- 
factory reports. 

Educational  Department. — At  the  July  meeting  the  Committee  elected  Rev. 
John  L  Armstrong  Educational  Secretary,  who  began  his  work  October  i,  and 
Rev.  H.  F.  Williams  Conference  Superintendent,  the  work  of  the  latter  to  be 
wholly  in  the  field  under  the  direction  of  the  Sub-committee  on  Home  Develop- 
ment. Dr.  Williams  continued  to  work  in  the  Educational  Department  until 
October  i.  Since  that  date  he  has  been  engaged  in  field  work,  with  special 
reference  to  the  promotion  of  the  Foreign  Mission  and  Every-Member-Canvass 
Campaigns  in  the  Presbyteries. 

Southern  Missionary  A^ews  Bureau. — Our  Committee,  in  conjunction  with 
the  Mission  Boards  of  the  Southern  Baptist  and  Southern  Methodist  Churches, 
has  organized  and  is  conducting  the  Southern  Missionary  News  Bureau,  whose 
weekly  foreign  missionary  news  service,  in  charge  of  a  competent  editor,  is  now 
accepted  by  542  ncAvspapers,  with  an  aggregate  circulation  of  more  than 
2,000,000  and  a  reading  constituency  of  three  or  four  times  that  figure.  Each 
of  the  three  controliing  bodies  has  agreed  to  pay  for  the  bureau's  support 
$1,500  for  the  first  year,  which  ends  September  15,  1914. 

A  movement  is  now  on  foot  to  establish  three  similar  bureaus  at  New 
York,  Toronto  and  London,  the  four  to  exchange  their  missionary  news,  and 
thus  put  the  choicest  information  from  the  missionaries  of  all  the  great  denom- 
inations of  the  world  at  the  service  of  each  bureau. 

Missionary  Literature. — In  addition  to  the  monthly  topics  and  programs  for 
societies  and  the  Program  Bulletin,  the  following  leaflets  have  been  prepared  and 
issued  by  our  office  during  the  last  year: 

By  Dr.  Chester:  "Medical  Missions,"  "The  Pastor  and  Missions,"  "The 
Chinese  Churches  and  Their  Relation  to  Present  Problems,"  "The  Kochi  Indus- 
trial School." 

By  Dr.  Smith:  "Our  Missionary  Task"  (new  and  revised  edition),  "Our 
Missionary  God,"  "How  Our  Women's  Societies  Can  Co-operate  With  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  of  Foreign  Missions,"  "A  Serious  Misunderstanding  of  Its 


APPENDIX  99 

Financial  Plan  Corrected  by  the  General  Assembly,"  "The  Cost  of  a  Mission- 
ary," "Special  Objects  in  Our  Foreign  Mission  Work,"  "Eight  Pertinent  Facts," 
"China's  Background  and  Outlook  in  Brief"  (just  issued  by  Presbyterian  Com- 
mittee of  Publication,  price,  5  cents). 

The  bulletin,  "Field  Reports,"  is  sent  quarterly  to  churches,  societies  and 
individuals  which  have  assumed  the  support  of  definite  parts  of  the  foreign 
work. 

Recommendation. — We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  authorize  the  Com- 
mittee of  Publication  to  provide  in  all  our  regular  Sunday  School  literature  for 
missionary  application  of  the  Sunday  School  lessons,  wherever  such  application 
comes  naturally  out  of  the  passage  of  Scripture  under  consideration,  and  also  in 
the  supplemental  lessons  to  provide  for  definite  instruction  in  the  purpose, 
methods  and  facts  of  missions. 

Woman's  Work. — Our  Committee  most  warmly  appreciates  the  cordial  and 
efficient  aid  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary.  We  would  make  special  mention  of  its 
work  along  spiritual  and  educational  lines,  and  in  meeting  the  emergency  needs 
of  our  treasury.  Foreign  Mission  Study  Classes  have  been  earnestly  and  wisely 
promoted.  The  observance  of  and  preparation  for  the  February  Week  of 
Prayer  and  Self-Denial  among  the  women's  societies  was  admirably  handled 
from  the  Auxiliary's  headquarters,  our  Committee  paying  the  expenses. 

In  the  Auxiliary's  Superintendent  we  have  found  an  active  and  fertile- 
minded  helper. 

The  Foreign  Mission  cause  continues  to  be  dependent  upon  the  noble 
women  of  our  Church  for  a  large  portion  of  its  income. 

Recommendation : 

In  view  of  the  present  increase  of  the  causes  to  which  they  regularly  con- 
tribute, we  think  it  necessary  to  request  this  General  Assembly  to  repeat  and 
emphasize  the  statement  of  the  Bristol  Assembly,  that  the  new  plan  is  not  to 
abrogate  pledges  made  to  any  cause,  and  the  statement  of  the  Atlanta  Assembly 
that  the  new  plan  "neither  necessitates  nor  contemplates  the  reduction  of  con- 
tributions  heretofore  made  by  societies,  churches  or  individuals  to  any  cause,  but 
rather  the  enlistment  in  behalf  of  the  other  causes  of  our  people's  heretofore 
unused  means  and  energies." 

Our  Treasurer  reports  the  following  contributions  from  societies : 

Women's  societies,  $73,813.67. 

Any  Church  organization,  mentioned  as  a  "society,"  without  further  de- 
scription, is  assumed  by  the  Treasurer  to  be  a  women's  society. 

Young  peop'e's  societies,  $9,193.30. 

Men's  and  miscellaneous  societies,  $11,589.75. 

Egbert  W.  Smith,  Executive  Secretary. 


IV.  REPORT  ON  HOME  MISSIONS. 
(abstract.) 
The  past  year  has  been  marked  by  growing  interest  in  this  cause  on  the  part 
of  the  Church,  which  is  visibly  manifest  by  an  increase  in  contributions,  the 
total  reaching  $168,670.86,  being  an  advance  over  the  previous  year  of  $14,460.09; 
by  a  growing  demand  for  our  literature;  by  the  increased  number  of  souls  added 
to  the  Church  through  the  instrumentality  of  our  evangelists  and  missionaries; 


100  APPENDIX 

by  the  volunteering  of  laborers  for  life  service;  by  the  strengthening  of  our 
stakes  and  a  general  advance  all  along  the  line. 

Owing  to  the  rapid  growth  of  the  work  and  the  consequent  enlargement 
of  the  sphere  of  operations,  it  is  exceedingly  difficult — almost  impossible — to 
impress  the  Church  with  the  magnitude  and  complex  character  of  the  service 
rendered  by  our  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions.  New  departments 
have  been  added  as  new  demands  appeared ;  new  situations  have  been  created 
by  new  problems  arising  until  today  we  face  an  entirely  new  order  of  Home 
Missions.  Until  recently  the  frontier  was  the  only  problem,  and  our  work 
consisted  largely  in  supplementing  Local  Home  Missions  in  the  weaker  Presby- 
teries; but  now  the  emphasis  has  shifted  to  other  phases  so  important  as  well- 
nigh  to  overshadow  the  former  features  of  our  effort. 

The  measure  of  our  denominational  responsibility  for  the  Christianization 
of  our  country  is  not  one  that  can  be  assumed  by  our  Church,  nor  given  in 
exact  figures.  The  Executive  Committee  measures  its  obligation  by  the  funds 
furnished  by  the  Church  and  cannot  go  beyond  its  resources,  not  feeling  at  lib- 
erty to  involve  the  Church  in  debt,  notwithstanding  the  clamorous  demands  for 
help,  far  exceeding  our  income.  At  present  it  is  expending  $168,670  annually, 
and  employirg  428  missionaries.  If  the  wives  of  more  than  two  hundred  of 
these  are  counted  as  missionaries,  it  is  calculated  that  we  have  dependent  upon 
our  Committee  in  whole  or  in  part  for  support  at  least  628  worthy  toilers  in 
the  Master's  vineyard. 

The  Evangel. Stic  Department. — First  in  order  of  time,  and  second  to  nothing 
in  relative  importance  is  ©ur  Evangelistic  campaign.  It  is  necessarily  co-exten- 
sive with  our  territory,  for  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a  saved  State,  county,  city, 
or  even  hamlet.  It  cannot  end  till  the  last  man  is  reached.  It  pervades  all  other 
departments;  and  if  the  Church  had  ears  to  hear  she  could  hear  the  voice  of 
some  missionaries  "crying  in  the  wilderness"  of  the  frontier,  others  in  the  dark 
coves  of  the  mountains  or  in  the  slums  of  our  cities,  among  the  foreign  popu- 
lation, the  ignorant  negroes,  and  the  prisons  and  convict  camps. 

By  far  the  largest  number  in  this  department  are  Evangelistic  pastors.  More 
than  one-half  of  our  entire  missionary  force  is  engaged  in  the  specific  work  of 
soul  winning;  and  others  who  are  holding  weak  congregations  together  or  teach- 
ing in  mission  schools  have  the  saving  of  souls  as  their  indirect  and  ultimate 
object.  They  are  not  in  the  limelight  of  publicity,  but  their  "record  is  on  high"; 
and  both  they  and  their  work  will  eventually  come  up  in  remembrance  before 
God. 

In  two  dozen  Presbyteries  at  least  we  employ  Presbyterial  Evangelists, 
whose  work  pertains  to  the  vacant  church  or  reaches  to  regions  beyond  the  or- 
ganized church,  and  whose  chief  business  is  conducting  evangelistic  meetings, 
organizing  new  churches,  and  securing  pastors  for  these  weak  congregations  and 
newer  organizations. 

Men  of  evangelistic  gifts  and  spirit  have  been  invited  to  volunteer  for  special 
meetings,  and  the  Secretary  acts  as  intermediary  in  bringing  these  men  to  the 
attention  of  pastors  and  churches  desiring  to  conduct  evangelistic  services. 
More  than  twenty-five  of  our  busiest  pastors  have  generously  and  cordiallj 
placed  themselves  at  our  disposal  and  have  rendered  noble  service. 

General  Evangelistic  Movement. — A  communication  was  addressed  to  each 
Presbytery  in  the  Assembly  by  the  Secretary,  suggesting  and  urging  the  holding 


APPENDIX  loi 

of  at  least  one  evangelistic  meeting  in  each  church,  and  offering  to  assist  in 
securing  volunteers  for  some  of  these  meetings.  Some  adopted  this  suggestion, 
but  as  it  is  difficult  to  obtain  reports  we  have  no  means  of  knowing  the  results. 
However,  practically  all  the  Presbyteries  did  comply  with  the  request  of  the 
Assembly  by  appointing  Evangelistic  Committees, 

In  this  way  the  Home  Mission  Committee  laid  the  foundation  for  a  general 
evangelistic  movement  and  agreed  to  co-operate  with  the  Campaign  Committee 
of  Evargeliem  in  securing  the  services  of  one  of  our  ablest  men  as  Superinten- 
dent of  Evangelism  to  arouse,  if  possible,  the  whole  Church. 

The  campaign  carried  on  by  Dr.  J.  E.  Thacker  and  Dr.  W.  W.  Orr  for  the 
larger  churches  has  had  marked  success  and  received  the  manifest  favor  of 
our  heavenly  Father.  Dr.  Orr  could  give  us  but  a  small  portion  of  his  time, 
as  calls  for  his  services  came  from  every  part  of  the  continent. 

The  following  is  a  summary  of  Dr.  Thacker's  work  for  the  year :  "442  ser- 
mons ard  addresses,  7,212  reconsecrations,  441  additions  by  letter,  1,168  profes- 
sions of  faith,  and  seven  expressed  their  desire  to  study  for  the  m'nistry.  Besides 
the  work  represented  by  the  statistical  report,  services  are  often  conducted  for 
the  colored  people;  evangelistic  conferences  are  held  in  almost  every  city  visited; 
meetings  are  organized  to  be  conducted  by  evangelistic  pastors  and  other  evange- 
lists, and  Presbyteries  are  encouraged  and  assisted  in  getting  Prcsbyterial 
Evangelists.  In  several  churches  debts  have  beoi  paid  off,  amounting  in  one 
place  to  as  much  as  three  thousand  dollars. 

Rev.  G.  W.  Crabtree  has  now  been  engaged  for  a  year  in  his  remarkable 
work  as  Prison  Evangelist.  So  far  as  we  are  informed,  it  is  the  only  work  of 
this  character  carried  on  by  any  denomination  for  these  unfortunate  criminal 
classes.  To  put  it  mildly,  this  work  has  exceeded  our  utmost  expectations,  and 
the  following  statistics  will  show  the  character  and  extent  of  this  work: 
"Services  held  in  prisons,  188,  number  of  prisoners  addressed,  10,253,  number 
of  confessions,  3,611,  number  of  lectures  in  churches,  58,  collections  and  dona-

The  Department  of  Sustentation. — Every  dollar  spent  in  evangelistic  effort 
perhaps  requires  at  least  ten,  often  much  more,  to  maintain  and  make  it  effective, 
unless  beginnings  are  to  remain  fruitless  and  foundations  worse  than  useless. 
In  the  business  world  no  thoughtful  builder  lays  foundations  only  to  let  material 
and  effort  go  to  waste.  It  were  better  not  to  organize  than  withdraw  assistance 
a  moment  short  of  self-support.  It  is  the  last  link  in  the  cable  that  connects 
two  continents,  and  but  for  that  last  link  the  ten  thousand  or  more  preceding 
it  are  useless. 

Evangelistic  and  Sustenation  Departments  not  only  supplement  each  other 
and  overlap,  but  in  one  sense  are  inseparable.  Like  the  seamless  robe  of  the 
Master,  they  are  interwoven  throughout  as  one  complete  indivisible  whole. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  is  the  agency  of  the  Church 
for  throwing  around  weak  organizations  the  strong  arms  of  support;  and  if 
this  aid  should  be  withdrawn,  at  least  500  additional  churches  would  be  added 
to  the  already  large  number  of  those  vacant.  In  at  least  half  of  the  Presby- 
teries composing  the  Assembly  the  Executive  Committee  is  sustaining  the 
weak. 

The  Department  of  Church  Erection. — The  erection  of  a  house  of  worship 


I02  APPENDIX 

is  the  first  problem,  ordinarily,  which  the  pastor  faces  who  is  installed  in  a  home 
mission  field.  The  most  tragic  failures  in  the  past  have  been  precipitated  by 
inability  to  secure  a  church  home.  As  well  expect  bees  to  make  honey  without 
a  hive  as  a  young  church  to  prosper  without  a  local  habitation.  In  many 
instances  a  small  donation  from  the  Executive  Committee  at  the  critical  moment 
in  the  history  of  the  church  has  been  the  turning  point  in  the  tide  of  its  affairs 
which  led  on  to  success.  In  other  cases  the  lack  of  an  adequate  loan  to  build 
a  house  of  worship  in  keeping  with  its  environments  dwarfed  the  growth  of  a 
church  and  kept  it  on  the  list  of  dependent  churches  indefinitely  through  need- 
less years.  The  donation  is  for  the  feeble  church ;  the  loan  is  for  a  stronger 
church  which  has  a  prospect. 

The  man  who  stands  out  pre-eminently  wiser  than  his  generation,  and  who 
had  sufficient  grace  of  liberality  and  faith  in  his  vision  to  make  the  venture, 
was  W.  A.  Moore,  of  Atlanta,  who  twenty  years  ago  left  a  legacy  of  $S,ooo 
to  assist  feeble  churches  in  building  by  means  of  a  loan.  As  the  result  of  his 
work,  this  fund  has  built  seventy-seven  churches,  and  grown  to  $5,700. 

This  suggested  to  the  present  Secretary  the  advisability  of  accumulating 
a  similar  fund  to  assist  feeble  churches  in  securing  manses  for  their  ministers. 
An  appeal  was  made  to  a  few  friends,  which  secured  $4,200  for  this  purpose. 
In  the  past  ten  years  it  has  erected  twenty-six  manses,  and  increased  to  $4,700. 

Three  years  ago  the  Church  decided  to  raise  a  fund  of  $100,000  to  com- 
memorate the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  our  separate  existence  as  a  church,  and 
the  Home  Mission  Office  made  an  appeal,  backed  by  striking  literature,  setting 
forth  the  needs  and  plan  of  raising  this  Semi-Centennial  Building  and  Loan 
Fund.  As  the  result  of  this  effort  $io,oco  have  been  secured,  which  sum  is  now 
doing  its  blessed  work.  Others  have  given  us  promises  which  will  materialize  in 
the  future ;  and  we  know  of  some  who  have  remembered  this  cause  in  their 
last  will  and  testament.  Any  individual  giving  as  much  as  $500  will  be  entitled 
to  a  Memorial  Fund,  and  we  have  already  several  such  memorials.  One  gen- 
erous friend  offers  to  give  $10,000,  provided  the  Church  will  raise  the  amount 
to  complete  the  fund.  This  will  require  about  $70,000,  but  that  would  be  but 
a  slight  task,  considering  the  ability  and  resources  of  our  great  Church. 

The  Frontier  and  the  Great  West  will  long  remain  synonymous 
terms,  and  will  continue  to  call  for  special  attention  and  large  outlays 
of  Home  Mission  funds,  by  reason  of  the  constant  influx  of  popula- 
tion from  the  east,  because  of  the  changing  conditions  of  the  country  and 
the  great  opportunities  of  the  rapid  development  of  that  section.  Arkansas, 
Oklahoma,  Texas  and  New  Mexico  constitute  a  great  opening  for  the  ex- 
pansion of  our  Church  and  will  remain  for  some  time  to  come  the  best  field 
for  the  investment  of  Home  Mission  funds,  considered  from  the  standpoint 
of  yielding  dividends.  Other  sections  may  be  as  needy  and  must  be  ministered 
unto  for  that  reason,  but  the  West  makes  the  twofold  appeal  of  human  need 
and  great  opportunities. 

Arkansas  is  sometimes  described  as  "the  State  which  is  passed  by"  in  the 
onward  march,  as  the  lure  of  the  farther  west  attracts  the  tide  of  humanity 
beyond  its  bounds.  Already  its  fertile  lands  and  unrecognized  opportunities 
are  beginning  to  attract  the  public  attention,  and  its  progress  will  in  the  near 
future  manifest  itself  in  a  new  and  second  development. 

Oklahoma  for  several  years  presented  the  greatest  opportunity  ever  con- 


APPENDIX  103 

fronting  our  Church,  on  account  of  its  unprecedented  conditions  and  develop- 
ment; and  your  Committee  of  Home  Missions  made  almost  frantic  appeals 
to  awaken  the  Church  to  the  need  and  promise  of  this  inviting  field.  The 
response  was  entirely  inadequate;  and  yet  for  the  amount  of  the  investment  the 
Church  has  never  anywhere  received  greater  returns.  In  a  few  years  Indian 
Presbytery,  the  weakest  in  the  whole  Church,  with  only  three  white  ministers 
and  five  native,  grew  into  the  Synod  of  Oklahoma,  which  to-day  has  in  round 
numbers  thirty-five  ministers,  seventy  churches,  and  3,000  communicants.  It 
is  at  this  time  a  case  of  arrested  development.  It  being  impossible  to  secure 
the  men  and  the  means  needed,  the  Executive  Committee  called  a  halt  in  the 
organization  of  new  churches  and  the  opening  up  of  new  work.  At  present  the 
work  in  Oklahoma  is  chiefly  sustentation.  Many  openings  which  once  appealed 
are  now  closed ;  "and  yet  there  remaineth  very  much  land  to  be  possessed." 

Dr.  Thacker  was  sent  to  conduct  three  meetings  in  Oklahoma,  as  an  ex- 
periment, and  there  were  literally  hundreds  who  responded  to  this  brief 
evangelistic  campaign.  In  each  instance  about  fifty  per  cent,  was  added  to 
the  strength  of  the  individual  church. 

For  a  half  century  Texas  has  claimed — and  justly  so — the  greatest  pari 
of  the  attention  of  the  Church  and  the  largest  per  cent,  of  its  Home  Mission 
funds.  The  expenditures  have  been  fully  justified  by  the  returns.  It  is  now 
the  third  Synod  of  the  Church  in  strength,  exceeded  only  by  Virginia  and 
North  Carolina.  Home  mission  churches  but  recently  sustained  by  the  commit- 
tee are  not  only  self-supporting,  but  are  sustaining  their  own  representatives 
on  the  foreign  field.  Texas  still  needs  larger  amounts  than  any  other  Synod 
by  reason  of  its  immense  territory. 

The  Presbytery  of  Western  Texas  is  the  largest  in  area  of  any  in  the 
Church,  and  v/ould  easily  cover  the  great  State  of  Virginia.  It  is  also  the 
second  largest  Presbytery  in  the  General  Assembly  in  the  number  of  churches 
on  the  roll ;  and  yet  of  its  seventy-seven  churches,  only  twelve  are  self-sup- 
porting. It  has  twenty  men  supplying  forty-four  churches,  and  one  evangelist 
attempting  to  minister  to  fifteen  shepherdless  churches.  During  one  quarter 
it  received  165  persons  on  profession  of  faith,  and  during  the  past  year  one- 
third  of  all  its  additions  were  from  Home  Mission  churches. 

The  need  and  opportunity  are  equally  great  in  the  Panhandie,  but  space 
forbids  a  detailed  account.  El  Paso  Presbytery  expands  itself  into  New  Mexico ; 
but  at  present  we  are  working  only  on  the  border.  Three  men  are  urgently 
needed  in  New  Mexico  for  churches  which  are  practically  self-supporting.  Only 
one  man  represents  us  in  this  great  State,  and  he  is  trying  to  occupy  six  places. 
It  is  filling  up  with  new  people ;  and  if  unoccupied  places  constitute  destitu- 
tion, it  is  perhaps  the  neediest  section  of  our  entire  territory. 

The  Department  of  Mountain  Work. — The  enlargement  of  our  sphere  of 
service  was  precipiated  by  the  transference  of  the  work  of  the  Soul  Winners' 
Society  under  Dr.  Guerrant  to  our  jurisdiction.  It  was  undertaken  by  order 
of  the  Assembly,  and  this  created  the  Department  for  Mountaineers.  It  has 
placed  a  tremendous  burden  on  the  Executive  Committee,  and  assigned  us  a 
most  delicate  task;  but  it  was  not  of  our  seeking.  Our  willingness  to  imder- 
take  it  was  partly  due  to  the  kind  consent  of  Dr.  Guerrant  to  co-operate  with 
us,  and  partly  to  the  obligation  which  constrained  us  to  assume  our  share  of 


104  APPENDIX 

the  work  of  ministering  to  human  need  in  the  most  destitute  sections  of  our 
country. 

Including  Presbyterial  and  Synodical  schools,  our  Church  has  in  round 
numbers  forty-five  Mountain  schools  and  missions.  The  total  annual  budget 
of  all  these  schools,  including  improvements,  has  been  roughly  estimated  at 
$85,000.  The  fact  that  many  of  these  are  mission  stations,  as  well  as  schools, 
and  carried  on  the  year  round,  increases  the  cost  per  capita  of  each  pupil.  In 
round  numbers  there  are  3,250  pupils  in  these  schools. 

Seventeen  of  our  smaller  schools  and  missions  under  the  Assembly's  com- 
mittee report  173  professions  of  faith,  enrollment  of  1,783  Sunday  School  scholars, 
4,168  visits,  and  1,467  services  held.  The  Superintendent,  Rev.  W.  E.  Hudson, 
has  preached  164  sermons,  witnessed  211  professions  of  faith,  received  114 
persons  into  the  Presbyterian  Church,  made  fifty  addresses  on  "Mountain  Work," 
collected  $3,235.14  for  Mountain  Work,  secured  pledges  for  thousands  of 
dollars,  in  addition  to  a  number  of  monthly  and  annual  pledges. 

Our  new  Hospital,  in  connection  with  Highland  College,  at  Guerrant,  Ky., 
the  only  one  in  the  county,  with  a  fine  corps  of  nurses,  is  a  great  boon  to 
all  those  Highlanders.  During  the  year  we  have  built  there  a  nice,  commodious 
residence  for  the  physician  in  charge  of  the  Hospital. 

During  this  year  v/e  have  also  built  a  new  college  in  the  farthest  Cumber- 
lands  of  Letcher  County,  at  the  Rock  House  Fork  of  the  Kentucky  River,  at 
the  new  town  of  Blackie.  A  generous  Highlander  donated  us  four  acres  of 
land  overlooking  the  village  and  valley.  This  is  our  largest  institution  and 
in  the  center  of  a  vast  population  without  a  Christian  institution  of  learning. 
We  have  also  built  there  a  nice  residence  for  teachers.  This  institution  has 
cost  us  about  $3,000.  During  the  year  God  has  graciously  supplied  our  need 
and  sent  us  by  liberal  hands  over  $11,542.40,  so  that  all  our  mission  teachers 
and  preachers  have  been  promptly  paid  at  the  end  of  every  month. 

We  badly  need  one  or  two  dormitories  at  the  Beechwood  Seminary,  for 
which  we  have  now  some  $400  in  hand.  We  need  another  at  Highland  College, 
as  the  present  building  is  crowded  with  some  fifty  pupils  and  teachers.  We 
need  another  wing  to  the  College  to  accommodate  the  growing  patronage.  We 
will  need  at  once  a  dormitory  at  the  new  College  at  the  Rock  House. 

With  all  the  work  already  accomplished  for  the  education  and  salvation 
of  the  millions  of  Highlanders,  practically  destitute,  we  are  still  on  the  border 
line  of  this  vast  work.  Our  last  institution,  which  is  seventy-five  miles  above 
Jackson,  Ky.,  is  the  only  one  of  its  kind  in  a  county  of  5,000  children  of 
school  age,  and  15,000  inhabitants,  and  surrounded  on  all  sides  by  other  counties 
almost  if  not  quite  as  destitute. 

Rev.  R.  F.  Campbell,  D.  D.,  has  inaugurated  a  movement  in  Nordi  Caro- 
lina Synod  inviting  the  co-operation  of  contiguous  Synods  for  the  erection  of 
"A  Synod  of  the  Mountains,"  its  object  being  to  bring  together  in  one  organiza- 
tion the  ministers  and  churches  which  have  a  sympathetic  purpose,  and  to  erect 
a  Synod  whose  missionary  aims  and  spirit  would  make  a  tremendous  appeal 
to  the  entire  Church. 

The  Department  of  Colored  Evangelisation. — Of  the  ten  millions  of  colored 
people  in  the  United  States,  at  least  nine  million  live  within  the  territory  em- 
braced in  our  Assembly.    While  our  Church  has  always  expressed  a  sympathetic 


APPENDIX  105 

interest  in  the  welfare  of  these  dependent  people,  we  are  compelled  to  admit 
that  our  professions  of  interest  are  discounted  by  the  meager  expression  of 
it  in  practical  effort.  As  the  work  carried  on  for  nearly  twenty  years  under 
an  Executive  Committee  of  colored  evangelization  failed  to  secure  the  sub- 
stantial support  of  the  Church,  it  was  three  years  ago  transferred  to  our 
jurisdiction  and  made  a  special  department  of  Home  Missions.  The  only  ad- 
vantage, so  far,  has  been  a  somewhat  larger  appropriation  for  the  cause.  The 
amount  expended  on  the  Colored  People,  however,  is  utterly  inadequate  to 
the  needs  of  the  work,  but  is  a  fair  per  cent,  of  our  total  receipts. 

The  Stillman  Institute  has  had  an  unusually  useful  year.  The  faculty  consists 
of  Rev.  John  H.  Davis,  Dean,  Rev.  N.  M.  Kuykendall,  and  Mr.  Chas.  W. 
McLeod.  The  enrollment  is  seventy-two,  of  whom  forty  are  candidates  for 
the  ministry.  Seme  academic  students  were  turned  away  to  make  room  for 
theological  students,  for  whom  chiefly  the  Institute  was  founded. 

Students  of  approved  character  are  received  from  all  denominations,  and 
treated  alike.  The  fundamental  fact  before  us  is  to  train  this  young  and  grow- 
ing race  in  the  great  and  plain  doctrines  of  grace,  and  to  give  them  a  usable 
knowledge  of  the  Erglish  Bible. 

Simple  industries  are  provided,  such  as  gardening,  carpentry,  dairying  and 
poultry  raising,  which  afford  a  wise  vehicle  for  education  and  a  sensible  means 
of  exercise  and  recreation  to  the  students.  Credit  is  given  them  for  all  labor 
performed,  thus  enabling  any  student  partly  to  pay  his  own  way  to  an  edu- 
cation. 

Of  our  graduates  forty-eight  are  serving  seventy  colored  Presbyterian 
churches,  many  are  also  teaching  parochial  schools.  As  many  more  are  enlisted 
in  the  ministry  of  other  churches.     Three  are  useful   missionaries   in   Africa. 

A  Nezv  Stillman  Institute. — The  Executive  Committee  has  negotiated  a 
tentative  sale  of  the  present  property  and  has  purchased  250  acres  of  land  at 
a  cost  of  a  little  more  than  $8,000,  upon  which  we  have  paid  $5,000.  We  hope 
to  erect  within  the  next  twelve  months,  a  new  and  greater  Stillman,  with  a 
modern  plant,  which  will  be  a  credit  to  the  work  and  to  our  Church. 

The  splendid  work  carried  on  by  Rev.  John  Little  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  is 
continually  enlarging  its  sphere  of  usefulness ;  and  the  following  facts  are  fur- 
nished by  his  annual  report: 

"More  people  are  coming  to  us  for  instruction,  encouragement,  and  advice 
than  ever  before,  and  it  is  taxing  our  buildings,  our  equipments,  and  our 
working  force,  to  their  full  capacity  to  minister  to  their  needs.  On  Sunday 
there  are  three  preaching  services  and  two  Sunday  Schools  with  an  enroll- 
ment of  762  pupils. 

"The  most  encouragirg  feature  of  our  religious  work  is  the  church  services 
at  Hancock  and  Roselane.  During  the  first  year  Dr.  W.  H.  Sheppard  received 
into  the  church  fifty-two  new  members.  Three  hundred  and  nine  different  people 
attended  this  service  last  quarter.  Every  member  has  made  some  contribution 
towards  the  support  of  the  Church,  and  the  majority  are  making  a  weekly  of- 
fering." 

The  Executive  Committee  made  an  appropriation  of  $i,oco  for  the  current 
expenses  of  the  Louisville  Mission,  while  its  total  receipts  amounted  to  $13,- 
433.16,  of  which  $5,328.73  were  expended  in  liquidating  the  total  indebtedness 
on  the  new  buildings  and  equipment. 


io6  APPENDIX 

Similar  work,  but  on  a  much  smaller  scale,  is  carried  on  at  Richmond, 
Va.,  under  the  superintendence  of  Rev.  Murray  Grey,  and  at  Atlanta  under 
the  charge  of  Rev.  G.  R.  Buford  and  Mr.  R.  K.  Axson,  at  Morganton,  N.  C, 
Jacksonville,  Fla.,  and  other  places. 

The  Department  of  Foreign  Speaking  People. — During  the  nineteenth  cen- 
tury the  Church  awaked  from  her  indifference,  and  with  girded  loins  began 
anew  her  unfinished  task  of  sending  the  gospel  to  distant  lands ;  but  during 
this  twentieth  century  God  in  His  providence  is  sending  the  foreigner  to  our 
own  door  in  ever  increasing  numbers.  The  incoming  of  a  million  new  inhabi- 
tants each  year  is  largely  transferring  the  battle  with  heathenism  to  the  United 
States,  and  giving  a  new  significance  to  the  Great  Commission.  We  must  evan- 
gelize those  beyond  the  seas  for  their  own  sake,  and  for  Christ's  sake;  but  in 
America,  we  have  the  added  incentives  to  evangelize  those  coming  into  our 
midst  for  our  own  sake  and  for  our  children's  sake,  else  they  will  paganize  us. 
The  fact  that  250,000  return  each  year  from  whence  they  came  furnishes  a 
renewed  motive  for  reaching  them  for  Christ,  in  order  that  they  may  return  as 
missionaries  of  the  cross  for  the  evangelization  of  the  world. 

For  tv/enty  years  we  have  had  a  successful  work  among  the  400,000  Mexi- 
cans in  Texas,  which  has  now  been  organized  into  the  Texas-Mexican  Presby- 
tery, comprising  nine  ministers,  twenty-one  churches,  and  1,006  communicants. 
Reverends  W.  S.  Scott,  R.  D.  Campbell,  and  C.  R.  Womeldorf,  assisted  by 
six  faithful  native  pastors  are  our  representatives  in  a  noble  cause. 

In  point  of  additions  this  has  probably  been  the  most  prosperous  year  in 
the  history  of  this  work.  An  earnest  endeavor  to  look  after  the  widely  scat- 
tered membership  and  thus  put  a  stop  to  a  constant  "leakage,"  and  also  to  reach 
the  thousands  of  Mexican  refugees  from  the  war-stricken  land,  made  a  greater 
demand  than  ever  on  the  time  and  energies  of  the  few  scattered  workers. 
The  change  of  the  Mexicans  from  their  native  land  and  old  environments 
to  the  very  different  conditions  and  influences  of  America  seems  to  produce  the 
"physchological  moment"  for  hearing  and  accepting  the  gospel. 

The  Texas-Mexican  Industrial  Institute  now  has  a  property  consisting  of 
669  acres  of  land,  170  of  which  are  either  in  or  prepared  for  cultivation.  On 
this  property  now  stand  six  buildings  which  have  cost  approximately  $7,7O0- 
The  sum  $7,780  has  been  spent  in  the  development  of  the  farm,  $2,930  has  been 
spent  in  the  support  of,  and  furniture  for,  the  school  proper.  The  board 
is  handicapped  by  the  lack  of  money,  both  for  the  support  of  the  school  and 
for  its  better  equipment.  A  dormitory  that  will  cost  at  least  $10,000  is  im- 
peratively needed. 

The  Synod  of  Texas  at  its  last  meeting  arranged  with  the  Synodical 
Committee  of  Home  Missions  for  co-operation  in  the  control  and  management 
of  the  finances  of  the  Texas-Mexican  Presbytery,  as  well  as  other  work  among 
foreign-speaking  people  of  the  State. 

That  the  Mexicans  in  the  United  States  are,  for  the  most  part,  a  floating 
population,  makes  the  task  of  evangelization  more  difficult  and  more  onerous. 
While  the  scattering  of  our  members  is  sowing  the  seed  in  ever  widening  fields, 
we  have  not  the  men  to  enter  and  gather  the  harvest,  or  to  minister  to  the 
scattered  flocks. 

No    work    ever   undertaken    by    our    Qiurch    has    been    fruitful    of    more 


APPENDIX  107 

substantial  results  in  the  way  of  Christian  character  than  that  of  Indian 
Presbytery.  It  now  consists  of  twelve  ministers  and  twenty-three  churches. 
Reverends  Lloyd  and  Gibbons  are  our  veteran  missionaries,  Rev.  R.  M.  Fire- 
baugh  is  a  recent  volunteer  who  has  already  won  the  hearts  of  the  Indians. 
Rev.  E.  Hotchkin,  the  Pastor  Evangelist,  is  himself  the  third  generation 
of  Indian  missionaries.  A  manse  has  recently  been  built  for  the  Presbytery, 
the  first  in  its  history. 

The  work  has  progressed  with  marked  interest  and  with  some  measure 
of  success  during  the  past  church  year.  It  has  been  carefully  planned,  and  as 
far  as  it  is  possible  every  church  in  the  bounds  of  the  Presbytery  has  had 
regular  appointments.  New  fields  have  been  reached,  several  churches  organized 
and  a  church  costing  $1,800  is  to  be  built  at  Bromide.  Evangelistic  meetings 
have  been  held  in  quite  a  number  of  places  and  much  good  has  been  ac- 
complished. 

The  Pastor  Evangelist  has  visited  various  school  districts,  finding  several 
places  where  there  has  been  no  preaching  for  years.  He  also  visited  Old 
Goodland  recently,  and  fourteen  of  the  students  made  professions  and  united 
with  the  Church,  ten  of  whom  were  baptized. 

The  Italian  Mission  in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  is  located  in  the  midst  of  a  popu- 
lation of  6,000  Italians,  most  of  them  from  Southern  Italy.  A  large  portion 
of  the  licensed  saloons  are  located  in  this  section,  which  contains  also  the 
"segregated  vice  district."  As  the  result  of  mission  effort  by  the  Central 
Presbyterian  Church,  about  sixty  have  been  added  to  the  roll  of  this  church 
and  a  splendid  plant  erected,  valued  at  $i6,oco.  The  church  has  not  been 
organized,  but  Rev.  Thomas  de  Pamphilis  in  charge  of  the  Mission  is  doing 
magnificent  work. 

In  addition  to  its  preaching  services  and  Sabbath  school  work,  it  has 
institutional  features  involving  kindergarten,  sewing  school,  domestic  science, 
English  classes,  boys  and  girls  clubs. 

Louisiana  offers  the  largest  single  field  for  operation  among  foreigners 
in  our  entire  Church.  In  this  State  there  are  the  French-speaking  people,  to 
the  number  of  perhaps  four  hundred  thousand.  These  are  natives,  practically 
all  of  them  being  the  descendants  of  the  original  settlers  and  of  the  earliest 
settlers  in  the  "Evangeline  Country,"  refugees  from  the  French  Provinces 
which  Great  Britain  conquered.  There  are  about  fifty  thousand  Italians, 
some  ten  thousand  Spanish-speaking  people,  a  thousand  or  more  Syrians,  and 
a  large  colony  or  Hungarians.  The  needs  of  these  various  peoples  are  being 
met  to  some  extent  by  the  Presbytery  of  New  Orleans. 

Reverends  M.  R.  Paradis,  W.  H.  Leith,  Nelson  Blackburn,  and,  until 
recent  changes  in  their  work,  Pierre  Danis  and  P.  Ph.  Briol,  have  ministered  to 
the  French  people.  Among  the  Italians,  Rev.  C.  Russo  and  Rev.  E.  M. 
Luxardo,  the  latter  a  recent  acquisition  to  the  Louisiana  forces,  are  at  work. 
The  Hungarian  colony  near  Hammond  has  a  church  and  minister,  the  latter 
being  Rev.  A.  Csontos.  In  the  Syrian  population  a  quiet  work  is  prosecuted  by 
some  members  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church,  while  also.  Rev.  Dr.  Theo. 
F.  Hahn,  pastor  of  the  Second  German  Church,  does  some  work  in  Spanish. 

The  work  of  the  Assembly's  Committee  of  Home  Missions  among  the 
foreigners  in  North  Alabama  Presbytery  has  made  steady  progress  under 
the  blessing  of  God  during  the  year. 


io8  APPENDIX 

At  Ensley  we  have  a  comfortable  chapel  built  and  partly  paid  for.  Rev. 
Angelo  Mastrotto,  a  Waldensian,  has  been  licensed  and  ordained  by  the  Pres- 
bytery of  North  Alabama  to  be  an  Evangelist  among  foreigners  in  North 
Alabama  territory.  He  visits  the  people,  conducts  night  school,  with  art 
average  attendance  of  eight  young  men.  He  preaches  Sunday  nights  in  the 
chapel  to  a  good  congregation — from  sixty  to  one  hundred — using  "Magic 
Lantern"  pictures  of  the  life  of  our  Lord,  preaching  to  these  needy  souls 
in  the  Italian  language. 

Miss  Flora  L.  Dubose  also  teaches  a  day  school  in  this  building  four  days 
each  week,  which  is  really  a  Bible  School.  She  has  an  enrollment  of  twenty, 
ages  nine  to  thirteen  years. 

Kindergarten  is  taught  by  Mrs.  M.  Hood.  Her  salary  of  $51.00  per  month 
is  paid  by  the  Birmingham  Woman's  Missionary  Union.  Seventy  little  children 
are  enrolled.    Five  different  nationalities  are  in  the  kindergarten. 

We  have  a'so  a  night  school  for  English  at  Ensley,  taught  by  Miss  Agnes 
Averyt  three   nights   each    week. 

The  Mission  near  Steel  Mill  is  taught  by  Mrs.  W.  H.  Williams,  in  a  build- 
ing repaired  by  the  Steel  Mill  Company,  given  us  for  the  work  free  of  rent. 
There  are  forty  at  Sabbath  School,  and  twenty-three  to  thirty  at  day  schools. 

At  Pratt  City  Miss  Margaret  Cumming  is  missionary.  A  building  is 
rented,  three  rooms  well  equipped.  There  are  thirty-five  in  the  Sunday  school 
and  twenty-five  enrolled  in  day  school.  The  catechism  is  drilled  into  these 
children,  and  they  keep  the  missionary  at  this  point  all  day. 

At  Tampa,  Florida,  the  Cuban  Mission,  begun  several  years  ago  with  Rev. 
P.  H.  Ilensley,  Jr.,  as  missionary,  is  an  effort  to  meet  the  jrpiritual  needs 
of  the  20,000  Cubans  of  Ybor  City.  The  resignation  of  Brother  Hensley 
was  accepted  with  great  regret,  but  we  acquiesced  owing  to  his  desire  to 
engage  in  City  Mission  Work.  Rev.  E.  N.  Someillan,  a  native  Cuban,  has 
been  secured  to  take  charge,  and  seems  admirably  fitted  for  the  work. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  has  purchased  a  lot  at  a 
cost  of  $2,000,  upon  which  to  erect  permanent  buildings  as  soon  as  funds 
can  be  secured. 

Rev.  John  Ujlaky  is  employed  as  missionary  among  the  foreigners  and 
Hungarians,  especially  in  the  mining  region  of  Virginia.  As  he  speaks  prac- 
tically no  English,  it  is  very  difficult  to  get  an  adequate  account  of  his  work ; 
but  he  preaches  regu'arly  at  Roda,  Biglord,  Tom's  Creek,  Inman,  Dorchester, 
Arnold,  Vidermier  and  wherever  else  opportunity  offers.  He  has  succeeded 
in  organizing  and  building  at  one  or  two  places,  and  is  engaged  in  building 
at  others. 

Among  the  Bohemians,  the  mission  near  Petersburg,  Va.,  is  in  charge  of 
Rev.  J.  A.  Kohout,  a  thoroughly  evangelical  and  consecrated  man.  The  con- 
gregation has  erected  a  beautiful  brick  church,  at  a  cost  of  $2,034.69.  This 
was  made  possible  by  the  assistance  of  a  kind  friend  in  Petersburg,  the  labor 
being  cheerfully  contributed  by  the  people  themselves.  New  work  has  been 
opened  at  a  place  near  Richmond,  and  the  investigations  of  the  energetic 
pastor  have  brought  to  light  other  colonies  in  adjoining  counties,  needing 
the  ministrations  of  the  Church. 

Under  our  fostering  care,  two  colonies  of  the  ancient  Waldensian  Church, 


APP2NDIX  109 

which  was  "never  reformed  because  never  deformed,"  have  organized  and  built 
houses  of  worship.  One  is  at  Valdese,  N.  C,  where  they  built  for  themselves 
a  handsome  stone  structure,  and  have  but  recently  secured  a  native  pastor.  The 
other  is  at  Woif  Ridge,  near  Gainesville,  Texas,  where  the  services  are  con- 
ducted in  English,  and  Rev.  John  V.  McCall  ministers  to  their  spiritual  needs. 

Among  these  strangers  and  foreigners  in  our  midst,  God  is  opening 
to  our  Church  "a  great  door  and  effectual."  The  opportunity  offered  us 
and  the  need  of  the  people  are  alike  calls  of  divine  providence,  and  the  bless- 
ing of  God  upon  our  efforts  is  itself  the  highest  endorsement  and  approva' 
of  the  Master. 

The  Department  of  Mission  Schools. — The  account  which  has  been  given 
of  our  schools  in  the  Departments  of  Mountain  Work,  Colored  Evangelization 
and  foreign-speaking  people,  is  another  illustration  of  the  overlapping  of  the 
departments  which  is  unavoidable.  It  would  have  been  just  as  appropriate 
to  reserve  our  account  of  the  mountain  schools  for  this  section  of  the  report; 
and  this  applies  with  equal  force  to  those  conducted  for  foreigners. 

The  two  schools  for  Indians  might  just  as  easily  have  been  given  under 
Indian  Work,  though  for  special  reasons  reserved  for  this  place : 

1.  Goodland  School,  near  Hugo,  Okla.,  is  no  longer  under  our  jurisdic- 
tion, nor  officially  connected  with  our  Church.  It  is  in  every  sense  Presbyterian, 
but  not  Presbyterial.  The  Board  of  Trustees  are  all  Presbyterians,  and  the 
same  men  or.ce  officially  appointed  are  now  self-perpetuating.  Upon  our 
advice  Goodland  withdrew  from  our  supervision,  in  order  to  secure  the  equip- 
ment which  the  Church  was  slow  to  furnish.  For  many  years  it  had  been 
a  church  school  in  one  sense.  Rev.  Silas  Bacon,  its  founder,  being  a  member 
of  the  Choctaw  Legislature,  secured  the  promise  of  $10,000  from  funds  belong- 
ing to  that  tribe,  and  Congress  readily  agreed  to  the  appropriation ;  but  inas- 
much as  our  Church  cannot  accept  assistance  from  the  Government,  and  inas- 
much as  the  Church  could  not  furnish  the  funds  needed,  we  cheerfully  con- 
senled  to  a  separation,  in  order  that  this  Indian  school  might  he  properly 
equipped  for  educating  its  Indian  children. 

2.  The  Oklahoma  Presbyterian  College  for  Girls,  formerly  Durant  College. 
This  institution  has  been  rebuilt,  enlarged,  and  renamed  to  correspond  with  its 
new  mission  and  ideals. 

The  campus  of  thirty  acres  in  the  suburbs  of  the  town  of  Durant  was  a 
gift  to  us  which  cost  its  donors  $27,000.  Upon  this  commanding  site  was  erected 
a  magnificent  building  with  all  modern  appointments,  which  cost  $75,000;  but 
upon  which  rested  at  its  completion  a  crushing  debt  of  nearly  $40,000.  For  the  past 
three  years  the  College  has  been  operated  in  the  face  of  impending  disaster  which 
threatened  its  existence  every  moment.  The  litigation  growing  out  of  failure  of 
the  construction  company  to  carry  out  the  building  contract  has  been  finally 
decided  in  favor  of  the  College,  which  reduced  the  indebtedness  by  $16,000, 
and  a  gift  of  $5,000  secured  by  the  Secretary  from  a  kind  friend  who  withholds 
his  name,  brings  the  indebtedness  down  to  $17,000,  which  we  trust  can  be 
handled  without  further  embarrassment,  and  be  gradually  liquidated. 

This  relieves  the  critical  situation,  but  does  not  meet  the  necessities  of 
the  case.  The  need  of  a  new  dormitory  is  immediate  and  imperative.  One 
hundred  and  twenty-five  young  women  cannot  be  cared  for  in  a  building  which 
also  serves  as  chapel  and  class  rooms.     It  has  been  necessary  to  rent  a  frame 


no  APPENDIX 

building  in  the  vicinity,  and  even  that  is  insufficient.  Yet  how  can  a  new 
dormitory  be  secured  when  there  still  remains  an  indebtedness,  no  longer 
embarrassing,  but  which  must  be  reckoned  with?  Thus  in  every  direction 
we  turn  and  in  every  phase  of  the  work  there  confronts  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  Home  Missions  the  need  of  an  equipment  for  the  proper  conduct  of 
the  work  assigned  to  us  by  the  General  Assembly. 

The  Rural  Church. — In  the  sphere  of  Home  Missions  there  is  no  lack  of 
perplexing  problems.  The  new  problem  refuses  to  wait  till  the  preceding  ones 
have  been  solved.  The  most  distressing  situation  now  embarrassing  Home 
Mission  agencies  and  the  whole  Church  grows  out  of  the  prevailing  tendency 
of  the  rural  church  towards  disintegration.  The  causes  are  not  difficult  to  as- 
certain. The  scattering  of  the  population  to  new  centres,  the  movement  towards 
cities  shown  by  the  marvelous  increase  of  urban  population,  the  lack  of  edu- 
cational facilities,  the  prevalence  of  absentee  pastors  who  decline  to  live  among 
their  people,  the  lack  of  good  roads  in  some  sections,  and  the  coming  of  the 
automobile  in  others,  etc.,  all  conspire  to  sap  the  life  of  the  country  church. 
Is  there  any  man  filled  with  that  "wisdom  which  cometh  down  from  above," 
who  can  give  even  the  remotest  suggestion  of  remedy?  Will  the  Church  be 
forced  to  admit  a  new  order  of  men  in  the  ministry,  trained  in  the  English 
Bible,  whose  thorough  consecration  and  earnest  Christian  experience  shall  be 
accepted  in  lieu  of  classical  and  theological  education,  who  will  be  content  to 
serve  the  country  church  and  not  consider  themselves  and  their  families  "buried 
alive"  in  a  rural  pastorate?  Will  these  churches  themselves  be  content  with  such 
a  ministry?  Is  not  the  situation  sufficiently  serious  to  awaken  the  prayer  and 
thought  of  the  Church? 

Men  and  Means. — Equally  embarrassing  perhaps  is  the  question  of  men  for 
our  Home  Mission  fields,  and  the  funds  to  sustain  them  owing  to  the  increased 
cost  of  living.  Ten  years  ago,  with  fewer  openings,  the  salaries  of  home  mis- 
sionaries averaged  at  the  very  highest  estimate  about  $800.00.  Now  we  can 
scarcely  secure  men,  and  they  can  hardly  live  on  $1,200.  Individual  support 
has  been  attempted,  but  only  a  Secretary  in  charge  of  the  administration  can 
appreciate  the  difficulties.  The  support  of  a  home  missionary  lacks  the  romantic 
element  which  appeals  to  the  average  church,  and  even  where  after  much  per- 
suasion we  secure  the  pledge  and  assign  the  missionary,  the  arrangement  is 
scarcely  made  before  some  other  church  "calls"  the  missionary  away,  and  be- 
fore we  can  supply  his  place  the  church  pledging  his  support  loses  interest  and 
cancels  its  pledge.  The  difficulty  is  exactly  the  same  if  we  assign  a  certain 
mission  field  instead  of  a  man. 

The  most  hopeful  feature  of  the  case  is  a  tendency  during  recent  years  to 
volunteer  for  life  service  in  Home  Mission  Work.  During  the  past  year  four 
splendid  men  have  so  "volunteered."  If  the  Spirit  of  God  begins  to  move  our 
best  young  men  in  this  direction,  we  cannot  but  believe  it  is  one  of  the  signifi- 
cant "signs  of  the  times,"  forecasting  an  awakening  of  the  Church  to  its  past 
neglect  of  Home  Missions ;  and  an  accompanying  sign  will  doubtless  speedily 
manifest  itself  in  an  increased  support  of  this  vitally  essential  cause. 

Equipment  Needs. — If  the  problem  of  the  men  and  the  means  were  satis- 
factorily solved,  we  would  still  face  the  embarrassing  fact  that  we  cannot  con- 
serve the  highest  results  of  our  best  men's  noblest  effort  without  an  equipment 


APPENDIX  III 

essential  to  stimulate  the  men  and  appeal  to  the  people.  The  struggle  for  ex- 
istence consumes  our  entire  funds.  It  has  been  well-nigh  impossible  to  secure 
a  dollar  over  running  expenses  to  erect  suitable  buildings  for  our  services.  The 
Church  cannot  expect  the  best  results  so  long  as  it  compels  its  missionaries  to 
attempt  to  "allure  to  better  worlds  and  lead  the  way"  in  old  dilapidated  rented 
buildings.  Will  the  Church  turn  a  deaf  ear  to  our  reasonable  appeal,  year  after 
year?  Would  it  be  presumptuous  in  your  Home  Mission  Committee  to  ask  the 
Church  to  give  a  modest  equipment  for  just  two  places  this  year? 

Home  Mission  Week. — The  organization  of  the  Home  Mission  Council  five 
years  ago,  composed  of  representatives  of  more  than  thirty  missionary  Boards 
and  Agencies,  has  been  instrumental  in  unifying  the  forces  of  the  Evangelical 
Churches  in  the  effort  to  make  "Our  Country  God's  Country."  It  has  a  two- 
fold object:  (i)  the  preventing  of  overlapping,  and  (2)  the  co-operation  of 
the  churches. 

The  most  evident  demonstralion  of  our  unity,  as  well  as  the  most  practical 
plan  of  attracting  the  attention  of  the  whole  country,  has  been  the  observance 
of  Home  Mission  Week  in  November,  at  the  suggestion  of  the  Home  Missioi. 
Council.  It  has  advertised  the  cause  and  awakened  interest  throughout  the 
continent  in  the  Christianization  of  America.  The  enthusiasm  with  which  our 
Church  entered  into  our  plans  for  this  campaign  of  education  has  been  ex- 
ceedingly gratifying.  Our  one  disappointment  arises  from  the  failure  of  pastors 
and  sessions  to  allow  our  people  the  opportunity  of  some  practical  response, 
at  a  time  when  their  interest  is  so  thoroughly  aroused.  If  in  the  observance  of 
Home  Mission  Week  next  November,  pastors  will  but  permit  voluntary  offer- 
ings, the  people  would  gladly  and  easily  furnish  the  means  for  the  equipment 
of  some  of  our  most  promising  missions.  Will  the  Assembly  use  its  gracious 
influence  in  our  behalf? 

Co-Opcration. — The  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  has  joined 
most  heartily  with  the  other  Executive  Committees  in  every  effort  and  campaign 
to  show  the  unity  of  the  work  of  the  whole  Church.  We  assumed  our  share 
of  the  responsibility  for  the  material  and  editorial  work  of  the  Prayer  Calendar 
and  the  Missionary  Survey,  paying  our  share  of  the  deficit  in  publishing  and 
circulating  the  latter.  We  have  joined  very  cordially  in  the  support  of  the 
splendid  work  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  under  the  competent  management  of 
Mrs.  W.  C.  Winsborough,  and  are  pleased  to  put  on  record  our  appreciation  of 
her  zeal  and  efficiency,  and  have  expressed  by  official  action  of  the  Committee 
our  willingness  to  bear  our  fair  proportion  of  its  expense. 

We  united  most  cheerfully  with  the  other  Executive  Agencies  and  the 
laymen  in  supporting  the  Campaign  of  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  in  the 
effort  to  push  the  Every  Member  Canvass,  furnishing  charts,  literature,  and 
our  pro  rata  share  of  the  expenses,  and  bear  testimony  to  the  good  work  of 
Dr.  J.  P.  McCaliie,  Secretary,  which  we  believe  will  bear  fruit  for  years  to 
come. 


112  APPENDIX 

V.    REPORT  ON  CHRISTIAN  EDUCATION  AND  MINISTERIAL 

RELIEF. 

(abstkact.) 

The  Executive  Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief 
respectfully  submits  the  report  of  its  work  for  the  year  ending  March  31,  1914. 
This  is  the  fourth  annual  report  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Christian  Edu- 
cation and  Ministerial  Relief  (or  the  tenth  annual  report  of  the  Committee  of 
Ministerial  Education  ar.d  Ministerial  Relief),  formed  in  1910  by  the  consoli- 
dation of  the  causes  of  Education  for  the  Ministry,  Ministerial  Relief,  the  As- 
sembly's Home  and  School  and  Schools  and  Colleges. 

Financial  Statement. — The  receipts  for  all  departments  from  April  i,  1913, 
to  March  31,  1914,  were  $102,547.36,  as  against  $97,295.64  the  previous  year — 
an  increase  of  $5,251.72.  Of  this  increase  $3,592.08  came  from  legacies — $6,381.06 
being  received  from  this  source  this  year,  as  against  $2,788.98  in  1912-13. 

The  funds  were  designated  as  follows :  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial 
Relief  (General  Fund),  $45,299.37;  Education  for  the  Ministry,  $11,482.45; 
Ministerial  Relief,  $30,776.94;  The  Endowment  Fund  of  Ministerial  Relief, 
$4,915.47;  The  Assembly's  Home  and  School,  $7496.12;  Schools  and  Colleges, 
$774.13;  Student  Loan  Fund,  $1,802,88. 

These  amounts  were  received  from  the  following  sources :  Churches, 
$62,288.84,  increase  over  last  year  $2,300.33 ;  Sabbath  Schools,  $4,768.25,  increase 
$729.96;  Societies,  $4,830.98,  increase  $1,983.96;  individuals,  $4,852.45,  decrease 
$1,121.21;  interest  $17,271.95,  decrease  $8.97;  legacies,  $6,381.06,  increase 
$3,592.08;  board  and  tuition,  $286.35,  decrease  $2,656.78;  rent,  $721.35,  increase 
$462.85;  refunded,  $746.25,  increase  $161.25;  miscellaneous,  $399.88,  decrease 
$191.75.    Total  increase,  $5,251.72. 

Campaign  on  Evangelism  and  Steivardship. — The  Executive  Committee  has 
continued  throughout  the  year  to  give  its  hearty  support  and  co-operation  to  the 
Campaign  on  Evargelism  and  Stewardship.  Much  progress  has  been  made  in 
introducing  the  Every  Member  Canvass  into  the  churches,  and  we  are  of  the 
decided  conviction  that  this  is  the  most  hopeful  solution  of  the  financial  prob- 
lems that  confront  the  Lhurch.  By  securing  the  interest  and  provoking  the 
liberality  of  an  increasing  number  of  the  indifferent  members  of  the  Church 
and  securing  regular  weekly  offerings  from  the  entire  membership,  we  are 
laying  a  foundation  upon  which  we  can  securely  build — pouring  in  the  concrete 
to  support  structures  sometimes  built  in  the  air. 

The  work  of  Evangelism  has  received  our  attention.  We  believe  that  much 
good  has  been  accomplished  and  that  the  whole  Church  is  awaking  to  a  new 
sense  of  her  responsibility  to  the  unchurched  masses.  We  hope  the  General 
Assembly  v/ill  call  a  capable  leader  who  shall  have  chief  charge  of  conserving 
and  developing  the  interests  of  this  work.  We  believe  that  the  future  conduct 
of  the  work  of  evangelism  should  be  placed  in  the  hands  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee of  Home  Missions  in  Atlanta. 

The  campaign  for  a  million  dollars  for  equipment  and  reinforcement  has 
made  little  progress.  Messrs.  McCallie,  Moffett  and  Rowland  had  secured  for 
the  Campaign  Committee  most  of  the  $15,000  expense  fund,  and  it  was  decided 
to  place  the  conduct  of  the  campaign   in  their  hands.     Messrs.   McCallie   and 


APPENDIX  113 

Moffett  were  selected  as  leaders  of  the  team  and  they  selected  missionaries 
to  accompany  them. 

After  a  brief  period,  it  was  decided  to  postpone  further  action  along  the 
lines  followed  by  the  team.  While  deeply  interested  in  this  movement,  your 
Committee  felt  that  the  effort  to  raise  this  million  dollars  should  be  abandoned 
for  the  present. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  this  Committee  that  the  future  conduct  of  the  Cam- 
paign on  Stewardship  should  be  committed  to  the  four  Executive  Committees, 
with  the  help  of  the  Committees  of  Systematic  Beneficence  of  the  Synods  and 
Presbyteries. 

"The  Missionary  Survey." — We  again  record  our  gratitude  for  the  increas- 
ing usefulness  of  the  General  Assembly's  publication,  "The  Missionary  Survey." 
The  efficient  handling  of  the  publication  of  this  high  class  magazine  by  the 
Committee  of  Publication  and  the  skilful  labor  of  the  managing  editor,  Mr. 
W.  C.  Smith,  deserves  the  praise  and  the  hearty  co-operation  of  every  family 
in  our  Church.  We  are  giving  our  people  a  broad  view  of  the  world-wide 
responsibility  and  work  of  the  Church,  and  thus  helping  to  develop  the  highest 
type  of  Christian  service. 

The  Woman's  Auxiliary. — We  record  our  gratitude  to  God  for  His  bless- 
ing upon  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  of  our  Church.  This  work,  while  yet  in  its 
infancy,  has  done  great  things  for  the  Kingdom  of  God.  Under  the  faithful 
and  capable  leadership  of  our  Superintendent,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Winsborough,  with 
the  cordial  co-operation  of  the  officers  of  Synodicals  and  Presbyterials,  uni- 
formity of  organization,  unity  of  purpose,  and  greater  efficiency  of  work  has 
been  brought  into  the  Women's  Societies  of  our  Church. 

The  Executive  Secretary,  who  represents  this  Committee  on  the  Super- 
visory Committee  which  has  the  oversight  of  this  work,  has  attended  all  the 
meetings  of  the  Committee,  and  has  made  full  reports  of  same.  Every  careful 
student  of  the  progress  of  the  Church  appreciates  the  need  of  a  large  increase 
in  the  number  of  capable  leaders.  There  is  only  one  source  to  which  the 
Church  can  safely  look  for  these — her  own  devoted  homes. 

The  approach  of  our  Committee,  through  the  societies,  by  means  of  well 
planned  meetings  and  carefully  prepared  literature,  to  the  mothers  who  shape 
the  influence  of  the  home  and  decide  in  large  measure  the  character  of  the 
school  and  college  attended  by  the  sons  and  daughters  will  help  in  large  meas- 
ure to  meet  this  crying  need  of  our  work  both  at  home  and  abroad. 

The  Committee  believe  that  the  expense  of  the  Auxiliary  should  be  borne 
by  the  Executive  Committees.  This  will  not  be  so  expensive  as  for  each  Com- 
mittee to  conduct  a  Woman's  Department,  will  secure  greater  unity  and  har- 
mony, and  will  release  the  time  and  energies  of  the  officers  from  the  work  of 
financing  the  organization  to  educational  and  inspirational  work. 

Vocational  Exercise. — The  Executive  Committee  prepared  a  Vocational  Ex- 
ercise, "Carrying  the  Light,"  for  use  in  the  Sabbath  Schools  during  the  month 
of  December.  More  than  forty  thousand  copies  were  ordered,  and  from  every 
quarter  we  have  received  words  of  earnest  commendation.  We  have  learned 
of  many  boys  and  girls  who  were  led  to  give  earnest  consideration  to  the 
claims  of  Christ  for  their  life's  service  through  this  Exercise.  It  contained 
an  appeal   for  life — not  for  money — and  yet  the  offering  that  was  made  "to 


114  APPENDIX 

prepare  men  to  carry  the  light  to  others  and  to  provide  for  those  who  had  worn 
out  their  life  in  such  service"  was  even  beyond  our  expectation. 

I.    Education  for  the  Ministry. 
The   Committee   gratefully   records   the    fact   that   during  the   past   twelve 
years  there  has  been  a  steady  increase  in  the  number  of  candidates  for  the 
ministry. 

Ministers  Needed. — In  our  Church  during  the  period  of  44  years  from 
1869  to  1913,  the  proportion  of  our  candidates  to  the  membership  has  been  an 
average  each  year  of  one  candidate  to  each  609  members.  This  has  fluctuated 
from  one  candidate  to  441  members  (in  1893)  to  one  candidate  to  846  mem- 
bers (in  1881). 

In  1869  there  was  one  candidate  to  each  645  members.  In  1913  there  was 
one  candidate  to  629  members.  We  have  almost  the  same  proportion  today 
as  44  years  ago,  while  in  that  period  the  number  of  churches  has  increased 
from  1,460  to  3,409;  the  population  of  the  United  States  from  38,558,371  in  1870 
to  91,972,266  in  1910;  and  the  population  of  the  Southern  States  for  which  our 
Church  is  more  especially  responsible  has  increased  from  13,884,500  in  1870  to 
32,478,863  in  1910.  In  addition  to  this,  our  Church  has  now  definitely  assumed 
the  responsibility  of  a  foreign  field  of  more  than  25,000,000  shepherdless  souls 
who  dwell  in  the  heathen  world. 

Location  of  Ministers. — Some  have  declared  that  we  have  no  need  for  more 
ministers,  because  there  are  so  many  unemployed.  This  is  a  great  mistake. 
1,781  ministers  are  now  reported.  Of  these  87  are  physically  unable  to  work, 
some  having  long  since  passed  the  limit  of  three-score  years  and  ten,  some  of 
them  laid  aside  in  the  prime  of  life.  The  1,694  which  remain  are  engaged  as 
follows:  Pastors,  1,361;  evangelists  and  home  missionaries,  51;  foreign  mis- 
sionaries, 120;  presidents,  principals,  and  professors  in  schools  and  colleges,  54; 
professors  in  theological  seminaries,  19;  superintendents  of  missions  and  agents 
of  orphanages,  colleges,  seminaries,  etc.,  29;  editors,  8;  secretaries  of  General 
Assembly,  9;  secretaries  of  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  2.  This  leaves  only  41  ministers  with- 
out definite  employment.  Some  of  these,  while  not  reported  infirm,  are  doubt- 
less physically  incapacitated.  Some  of  them  have  been  reported  for  from  10 
to  20  years  without  employment.  It  would  seem  that  either  they  have  sufficient 
reason  for  their  inactivity  (as  we  know  some  of  them  have)  or  the  Presby- 
teries have  been  derelict  to  their  duty. 

A  Call  to  Prayer. — Last  year  10  Presbyteries  with  278  churches,  133  or- 
dained ministers,  and  17,745  members  reported  no  candidates  for  the  ministry. 
The  Chiirch  desires  only  those  men  who  are  called  by  that  Spirit  who  said, 
"Separate  unto  me  Barnabas  and  Saul  for  the  work  whereunto  I  have  called 
them,"  but  she  has  been  commanded  to  pray  for  the  workers  and  she  must  help 
interpret  the  call  to  her  sons.  The  duty  of  the  Church  is  clearly  defined  by 
her  Lord  and  Master.    She  disregards  it  at  her  own  peril. 

The  most  imperative  need  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States 
today  is  that  more  of  her  own  sons,  nurtured  in  her  own  households  of  faith, 
called  by  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,  trained  in  the  schools  and  in  the  influences 
of  the  sky,  good  men  and  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost,  shall  give  themselves  without 
reserve  to  the  service  of  God  and  their  generation  in  the  glorious  work  of  the 


APPENDIX  115 

gospel   ministry.     For  this  our  Church  must  pray  earnestly,  intelligently,  be- 
lievingly. 

Work  in  State  Universities. — Some  of  the  problems  that  are  sorely  vexing 
the  churches  of  other  sections  of  our  country  are  the  result,  in  part,  of  the  lack 
of  trained  men  to  meet  new  and  serious  conditions  as  they  arise. 

The  phenomenal  growth  of  the  State  educational  institutions  found  the 
churches  wholly  unprepared.  Legislatures  appropriated  large  sums  of  money. 
The  students  came  by  hundreds  and  by  thousands.  The  State  was  unable  to 
provide  sufficient  moral  safeguards  and  positive  Christian  influences,  and  the 
Church  at  last  awoke  to  the  seriousness  of  the  situation. 

A  loud  call  from  these  institutions  comes  to  the  churches  of  the  South 
today.  Conditions  are  not  so  serious  as  those  of  the  North,  but  they  may 
rapidly  become  so.  In  some  of  our  State  institutions  the  influences  are  decidedly 
Christian.  The  presidents  of  seme  and  the  professors  in  many  others  are 
active  officers  in  our  own  and  other  churches.  The  work  of  the  Young  Men's 
and  Young  Women's  Christian  Associations  in  many  is  well  organized  and 
effective.    They  ask  and  need  more  hearty  co-operation  from  the  churches. 

We  are  glad  to  note  that  some  of  our  theological  seminaries  are  giving 
special  attention  to  the  preparation  of  men  to  meet  this  need.  We  believe  it 
would  be  wise  for  the  General  Assembly  to  authorize  this  Executive  Committee 
to  call  in  conference  representatives  of  the  churches  at  all  the  centers  of  the 
State  institutions,  in  order  that  they  may  more  thoroughly  examine  the  situation 
and  lay  wise  and  comprehensive  plans  to  meet  this  new  and  increasingly  im- 
portant problem.  One  out  of  every  seven  or  eight  of  the  young  men  and 
young  women  in  the  State  institutions  of  higher  learning  in  the  South  is  from 
a  Presbyterian  home. 

Visitation  of  Colleges. — The  Committee  has  spent  much  time  in  planning 
for  the  presentation  in  schools  and  colleges  of  the  claims  of  Christ  for  the 
service  of  the  boys  and  girls.  We  have  secured  a  number  of  able  speakers 
and  paid  their  expenses.  The  Secretary,  as  usual,  has  also  given  much  time 
to  this  work.  We  have  sent  out  thousands  of  leaflets  to  the  choice  youth  of 
the  Church  and  supplied  hundreds  of  the  societies  with  programs  and  leaflets 
on  the  Call  to  the  Ministry  and  kindred  themes.  In  every  legitimate  way  we 
are  endeavoring  to  keep  the  great  need  of  the  Church  before  parents,  pastors, 
teachers,  and  our  own  boys  and  girls. 

Aid  to  Candidates. — From  1866  to  1914 — forty-eight  years — 2,287  young 
men  have  received  aid  from  the  funds  of  education  for  the  ministry  to  the 
amount  of  $782,669.26. 

Of  the  2,287  men  thus  aided  by  the  Church,  we  have  been  unable,  on  ac- 
count of  insufficient  records,  to  locate  230. 

Of  the  2,057  of  whom  we  have  secured  information,  302  have  died,  143 
for  various  reasons  have  been  dropped  by  the  r'resbyteries  and  many  of  them 
have  refunded  the  money  advanced  them,  771  are  now  pastors  in  our  churches, 
y6  are  foreign  missionaries,  41  are  evangelists,  24  are  professors,  24  are  presi- 
dents or  principals,  36  are  infirm,  12  are  without  charge,  9  are  agents,  8  are 
licentiates,  6  are  secretaries  or  superintendents,  4  are  editors,  2  are  colporteurs, 
in  all  1,013  are  now  on  the  roll  of  ministers  of  our  Church,  122  are  laboring  in 
other  churches — 99  in  Presbyterian  Church,  U.  S.  A.,  9  in  Methodist,  5  in  Bap- 


ii6  APPENDIX 

tist,  4  in  Episcopalian,  2  in  Reformed  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.,  i  in  Congrega- 
tional, I  in  Cumberland,  and  i  in  Swedenborgian ;  477  are  still  enrolled  as 
candidates  and  are  in  different  stages  of  preparation  for  the  work  of  the 
ministry. 

Aided  Tins  Year. — On  recommendation  of  the  Presbyteries,  aid  was  granted 
by  the  Executive  Committee  to  278  candidates  (as  against  302  the  previous  year) 
to  the  amount  of  $27,324.60  (as  against  $29,106.40  the  year  before).  The  max- 
imum amount  of  aid  granted  to  candidates  was  $100.00. 

Aid  to  Other  Candidates. — The  Executive  Committee  has  been  directed  to 
include  among  the  beneficiaries  of  the. funds  of  Education  for  the  Ministry  not 
only  candidates  for  the  medical  mission  field,  as  heretofore,  but  also  "accepted 
candidates  for  our  Foreign  Mission  woik,  looking  forward  to  any  part  of  that 
work,  provided  such  candidates  are  recommended  and  endorsed  by  the  Com- 
mittee of  Foreign  Missions.  As  there  is  a  great  demand  for  trained  workers 
in  every  department  on  the  foreign  fields,  this  means  a  large  increase  in  the 
amounts  requested  from  these  funds. 

This  aid  is  extended  on  the  basis  of  a  loan,  to  be  repaid,  and  notes  cancelled, 
by  actual  service  on  the  foreign  fields  of  our  Church. 

We  have  received  many  inquiries  about  this  plan,  and  it  will  doubtless  be 
extended  to  many  candidates — both  men  and  women — next  year.  Only  one  such 
loan  was  made  in  the  past  year. 

II.    Ministerial  Relief. 

Your  Committee  rejoices  to  report  that  we  have  been  able  again  this  year 
to  appropriate  and  pay  all  the  amounts  requested  by  the  Presbyteries  for  our 
aged  and  enfeebled  ministers  and  for  the  needy  widows  of  our  deceased  minis- 
ters and  missionaries. 

The  increase  in  the  receipts  for  our  work  encourages  us  to  believe  that  at 
last  the  Church  has  heard  the  cry  of  need  and  will  respond  liberally.  We  are 
therefore  making  larger  appropriations  for  the  coming  year  where  increases  are 
most  sadly  needed. 

Assis  ance  kendered. — During  the  year  aid  to  the  amount  of  $38,721.67  has 
been  granted  to  62  ministers,  146  widows,  and  20  orphans.  In  these  228  homes 
are  many  invalids,  besides  70  little,  fatherless  children  under  14  years  of  age. 
This  is  an  increase  of  $2,744.17  over  the  amount  paid  last  year. 

The  Roll. — The  62  ministers  have  reached  the  average  age  of  71  years.  The 
oldest  beneficiary  is  Sj  years  old,  and  has  labored  64  years  in  the  service  of  our 
Church.  The  youngest  minister  enrolled  is  42  years  of  age,  and  is  now  an 
invalid. 

Ihe  62  ministers  have  served  Christ  and  our  Church  2,643  years,  an 
average  term  of  service  of  42  years.  The  179  deceased  ministers  whose  fam- 
ilies are  on  our  rolls  served  for  4,577  years.  These  7,220  years  of  service  were 
rendered  in  the  following  Synods:  Alabama,  497  years;  Arkansas,  216;  Florida, 
182;  Georgia,  621;  Kentucky,  319;  Louisiana,  140;  Mississippi,  537;  Missouri, 
224;  North  Carolina,  697;  Oklahoma,  135;  South  Carolina,  826;  Tennessee,  474; 
Texas,  765;  Virginia,  1,468;  on  the  Foreign  Mission  field,  25;  in  the  Presby- 
terian Church,  U.  S.  A.,  94. 

Of  the  146  widows  on  our  roll,  the  average  age  is  about  63  years,  and  their 
husbands  spent  in  the  service  of  our  Church  an  average  of  25  years. 


APPENDIX  117 

Average  Assistance  Provided. — The  average  assistance  rendered  the  28  min- 
isters on  the  Honorably  Retired  Roll  is  $267.24. 

The  average  amount  paid  the  34  other  ministers  is  $212.58. 

The  average  amount  sent  to  each  of  the  62  ministers  is  $245.16. 

The  average  amount  forwarded  to  each  home  of  the  146  widows  is  $151.25. 

The  average  amount  furnished  each  of  the  20  orphans  is  $76.12. 

The  average  assistance  to  each  of  the  228  families  on  the  roll  is  $170.00 
per  annum,  or  47  cents  a  day  per  family. 

In  Mcmoriam. — Sirce  our  last  report  ten  ministers  and  eleven  widows 
have  been  removed  from  our  "Roll  of  Honor"  by  death — twenty-one  called 
heme  in  one  year. 

This  large  mortality  reminds  us  of  a  responsibility  and  privilege  that  is 
rapidly  passirg  from  us.  Truly,  what  we  do  for  these  in  Christ's  name  must 
be  done  quicklj'. 

The  great  number  of  deaths  reported  each  year  is  due,  in  part,  to  the  fact 
that  our  ministers  do  not  come  on  the  rolls  until  they  are  practically  worn  out, 
or  until  disease  has  made  such  advances  it  can  rarely  be  checked.  The  unselfish 
spirit  of  our  ministers,  which  prevents  them  from  requesting  needed  assistance 
because  they  fear  "others  may  be  more  in  need  of  the  Church's  help,"  has  con- 
stantly and  deeply  touched  our  hearts. 

With  enlarged  offerings  and  an  increased  endowment,  aid  could  be  ren- 
dered earlier  and  more  adequately,  and  in  many  cases  the  usefulness  of  valued 
men  would  be  prolonged. 

HI.    Endowment  Fund  of  Ministerial  Relief. 

There  has  been  added  to  the  Endowment  Fund  during  the  year  $4,915.47, 
making  the  total  amount  of  invested  funds  $323.095-23.  Every  cent  of  interest 
from  this  fund  goes  to  meet  the  present  needs  of  the  work.  This  interest  has 
frequently  saved  the  Committee  from  the  necessity  of  scaling  the  meagre  amounts 
granted  the  needy  homes.     We  never  incur  debt. 

Again  and  again  the  General  Assembly  has  called  upon  the  Church  "to 
increase  the  Endowment  Fund  as  rapidly  as  possible  to  at  least  $500,000,"  and 
especially  commended  it  "to  our  people  of  means  for  their  gifts  and  legacies." 

The  Assembly  in  1913  also  declared  that  "the  action  of  the  Assembly,  re- 
questing $500,000  for  the  Endowment  Fund  of  Ministerial  Relief,  should  be 
continuously  kept  before  the  mind  of  the  Church,  in  view  of  the  great  need 
of  such  a  fund,  and  m  view  of  the  further  facts  that  no  time  is  now  set  for 
an  offering  to  this  fund  and  it  is  not  included  in  the  amount  the  Assembly 
requested  for  Ministerial  Relief." 

On  account  of  the  united  efforts  of  the  Executive  Committees  to  raise  a 
million  dollars,  the  Committee  has  refrained  from  pushing  the  claims  of  this 
fund  during  the  past  year.  We  are  making  plans  to  increase  the  Endowment 
Fund  as  rapidly  as  possible. 

IV.    The  Assembly's  Home  and  School. 

The  Executive  Committee  has  faithfully  and  considerately  carried  out  the 
instructions  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1912. 

The  School. — The  institution  known  as  Fredericksburg  College  was  sep- 
arated from  the  Home  and  School,  and  the  building  and  grounds  were  turned 
over  to  Messrs.  Adams  and  Barney,  free  of  rent,  for  a  period  of  two  years, 


ii8  APPENDIX 

who  have  paid  for  the  repairs  most  urgently  needed  and  have  kept  the  property 
insured. 

The  contract  with  Messrs.  Adams  and  Barney  has  now  expired,  and  we 
ask  the  Assembly  for  guidance  as  to  the  future.  In  order  that  you  may  have 
the  facts  before  you,  we  give  in  the  Appendix  of  this  report  a  brief  history 
of  this  institution. 

During  the  year  four  of  the  families  have  gone  to  other  places  to  live  and 
to  educate  their  children ;  two  have  placed  their  children  in  other  institutions, 
while  retaining  their  residence  in  Fredericksburg;  and  two  others  have  a  part 
of  their  families  in  the  State  Normal  School  at  Fredericksburg. 

At  the  request  of  these  mothers,  and  under  the  authority  of  the  General 
Assembly's  direction  "to  give  equal  aid  to  widows  and  families  of  deceased 
ministers  when  in  need  of  financial  assistance,  irrespective  of  place  of  resi- 
dence or  agency  through  which  help  of  the  Church  is  extended,"  we  have 
continued  the  same  aid  to  the  mothers  for  the  board  for  these  children.  In 
most  instances  they  are  securing  free  tuition. 

This  leaves  twenty-four  children  in  the  Home  and  School,  three  of  whom 
have  neither  father  nor  mother  living.  Eight  are  in  the  Primary,  eight  in  the 
Preparatory,  and  eight  in  the  College.  Four  of  these  will  finish  the  course  in 
June,  and  five  others  have  reached  the  age  limit  set  by  the  Assembly.  Tuition 
is  paid  Messrs.  Adams  and  Barney  at  the  rate  of  $24  in  the  Primary,  $36  in 
the  Preparatory,  and  $48  in  the  College. 

The  Home. — The  "Home"  is  kept  open  to  welcome  the  needy  orphans  of 
our  ministers  and  missionaries  who  have  no  other  suitable  home  to  receive 
them. 

Formerly  the  Home  was  conducted  by  the  Board  or  the  Committee,  and 
outside  patrons  of  the  school  were  received  as  boarders.  Only  a  very  small  per 
cent,  of  the  children  have  lived  in  the  Home,  as  the  mothers  have  usually 
boarded  their  own  children.  The  Home  has  therefore  been  chiefly  a  dormitory 
for  the  school,  and  has  been  closed  in  the  summer. 

For  the  past  two  years  we  have  rented  one  of  the  buildings  to  Messrs. 
Adams  and  Barney,  who  have  assumed  responsibility  for  the  dormitory.  For 
the  year  we  paid  board  for  three  children  at  the  rate  of  $144  each  for  the 
session  of  nine  months.  During  the  summer  these  children  go  back  to  their 
families.  The  other  children  are  boarded  with  seven  mothers,  to  whom  we  pay 
$100  a  year  for  each  child. 

The  Future  Outlook. — There  seems  little  probability  that  any  number  of 
widows  will  seek  residence  at  Fredericksburg,  unless  very  alluring  offers  are 
made  them,  and  so  the  Home  and  School  will  soon  become  what  the  Assembly 
evidently  intended — a  home  of  comfort  and  training  for  those  who  have  no 
suitable  home.  At  no  time  will  there  likely  be  a  large  number  needing  such  a 
home,  and  we  are  fully  convinced  that  the  work,  limited  to  this  class,  and  with- 
out providing  school  facilities  for  the  community,  can  be  conducted  in  the 
future  at  only  a  very  small  part  of  the  former  cost. 
V.    Schools  and  Colleges. 

The  pre-Assembly  Conference  of  Educators,  called  by  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee last  year,  marked  a  new  era  in  the  educational  work  of  the  Church. 
For  the  first  time  a  large,  representative  body  of  those  most  vitally  interested  in 


APPENDIX  119 

Church  and  Christian  education  met  together  to  plan  for  united  work  in  the 
educational  field. 

The  Ad-Interim  Committee  appointed  by  the  General  Assembly  at  the  re- 
quest of  this  conference  met  at  Montreat  and  conferred  with  a  representative 
body  of  our  educators,  all  of  whom  gave  help  in  formulating  the  report,  which 
is  presented  to  the  Assembly  at  this  meeting. 

At  the  suggestion  of  the  Assembly,  the  Presbyteries  and  Synods  have  given 
a  large  place  this  year  to  the  consideration  of  this  fundamental  work. 

Conferences  have  been  held  at  Presbyteries  and  Synods,  thousands  of 
leaflets  have  been  printed  and  distributed,  and  scores  of  articles  for  Church 
papers  and  magazines  have  been  prepared.  A  large  exhibit  is  being  arranged 
by  the  Committee  for  the  Kansas  City  Assembly,  with  the  assistance  of  a 
Committee  of  the  Synod  of  Missouri,  and  arrangements  are  being  made  for 
popular  meetings  at  this  "Educational  Assembly,"  by  order  of  the  last  Assembly, 
for  Friday  and  Saturday  nights. 

At  the  request  of  the  Conference  and  the  Ad-Interim  Committee,  we  have 
issued  a  comprehensive  book,  which  we  had  hoped  to  prepare  a  year  ago,  "Our 
Presbyterian  Educational  Institutions,"  giving  detailed  information  and  illus- 
trations of  all  of  our  (i)  Theological  Seminaries,  (2)  Colleges,  (3)  Institutes, 
Seminaries  and  Academies,  (4)  Mountain  Mission  Schools,  and  (5)  Orphan 
Homes  and  Schools. 

Inasmuch  as  this  is  an  "Educational  Assembly,"  we  have  made  this  exhibit 
a  part  of  this  report. 

There  are  yet  many  problems  to  be  faced  in  the  educational  field,  and  we 
vmite  our  request  with  the  Ad-Interim  Committee  that  a  similar  committee  be 
appointed  this  year. 

VI.    The  Student  Loan  Fund. 

The  beneficial  effects  of  this  fund  are  becoming  more  apparent  each  year. 

Our  own  Presbyterian  colleges  are  being  benefited,  because  loans  are  made 
only  to  our  boys  and  girls  who  patronize  them. 

The  work  of  the  Church  is  being  blessed,  because  some  have  already  gone 
out  into  the  mission  fields,  both  in  this  country  and  the  foreign  field,  whose 
preparation  is  more  thorough  and  who  are  enabled  to  begin  their  work  sooner 
because  of  the  fund. 

Our  Church  and  our  land  are  both  enriched,  because  many  boys  and  girls, 
who  otherwise  must  have  taken  up  life's  duties  without  full  preparation,  have 
been  able  to  take  a  college  course  where  religious  influences  are  most  potent. 

The  Loan  Fund  is  being  enriched,  because  several  of  those  who  have  had 
its  benefits  in  the  past  are  now  gratefully  returning  part  of  the  money  they 
have  used,  which  will  at  once  be  used  to  bless  other  lives. 

Loans  have  been  made  to  18  girls  and  2)7  boys  of  approved  character,  who 
have  thus  been  enabled  to  attend  one  of  our  Presbyterian  colleges. 

During  the  year  $1,802.88  has  been  added  to  the  Student  Loan  Fund,  which 
is  now  $11,644.80.  This  fund  is  now  being  raised  principally  from  special  offer- 
ings and  by  securing  "Memorial  Scholarships"  of  $400  each,  payable  $100  a 
year,  or  as  the  donor  desires. 

Loans  of  $100  a  year  for  a  period  of  four  years  are  made  to  our  boys 
and  girls  of  approved  character  who  are  studying  in  our  Presbyterian  colleges. 


120  APPENDIX 

and  who  "desire  a  higher  education,  not  wholly  for  self-advancement,  but  also 
for  greater  Christian  usefulness." 

Loans  frcm  this  fund  are  not  made  to  those  v/ho  are  receiving  aid,  either 
as  a  gift  or  a  loan,  from  the  funds  of  Education  for  the  Ministry. 
VII.    Miscellaneous  Matters. 

Needs  of  the  Committee. — The  Executive  Committee  needs  for  the  prosecu- 
tion of  its  work  the  following  amounts:  Education  for  the  Ministry,  $50,000; 
Ministerial  Relief,  $75,000;  Assembly's  Home  and  Scl^ool,  for  old  debts  on 
college  property,  $11,340,  and  for  current  expenses,  $5,000;  for  Schools  and 
Colleges,  $10,000;  for  the  Endowment  Fund  of  Ministerial  Relief,  $176,905,  to 
complete  the  $500,000  fund  authorized  by  many  Assemblies;  a  large  increase 
in  the  Student  Loan  Fund,  which  is  now  $11,644. 

The  Treasurer. — Once  more  the  Committee  would  record  it's  appreciation 
of  the  invaluable  services  of  its  Treasurer,  Mr.  John  Stites.  For  ten  years, 
without  any  remuneration,  he  has  given  liberally  of  his  time  and  ability.  His 
large  experience  and  sound  judgment  have  proved  of  great  value  to  the  Com- 
mittee and  the  Church, 

Henry  H.  Sweets,  Executive  Secretary. 


VI.    REPORT  ON  PUBLICATION  AND  SABBATH  SCHOOL  WORK. 

(abstract.) 

With  profound  gratitude  to  God  for  the  evidence  of  His  blessing  upon  our 
eflforts,  we  submit  herewith  our  fifty-third  annual  report,  covering  the  year 
April  I,  1913,  to  March  31,  1914: 

Property  Matters. — Since  our  report  to  the  Assembly  of  1913  we  have  made 
a  material  change  in  the  character  of  cur  holdings  of  real  estate.  In  1903  the 
lot  and  building  located  at  the  corner  of  Tenth  and  Main  streets,  Richmond, 
was  sold  for  $62,815  net.  A  lot  containing  an  old  residence  was  purchased  in 
same  year  for  $25,000  at  corner  of  Sixth  and  Grace  streets,  then  a  residential 
district.  A  portion  of  the  lot  was  sold  for  $5,500  cash,  and  space  for  a  new 
building  was  reserved  without  distucbing  the  residence,  which  was  rented  for 
$1,000  per  year. 

A  new  building,  four  stories  in  height,  was  erected  and  occupied  in  April, 
1904.  The  total  cost  of  building  and  lot  was  about  $48,000.  When  the  new 
plant  v/as  occupied  it  v/as  thought  we  had  anticipated  the  normal  growth  of  our 
business  for  many  years  to  come.  The  Church  met  our  efforts  to  give  them  an 
improved  service  with  a  response  that  shamed  our  weak  faith,  and  the  annual 
business  jumped  from  $43,000  in  1903  to  $175,000  in  1913.  The  new  building 
was  not  large  enough  to  furnish  shipping  facilities  for  the  growing  output  of 
Sunday  School  periodicals  and  at  the  same  time  provide  working  quarters 
for  our  constantly  enlarging  editorial  and  clerical  staff. 

We  took  possession  of  the  upper  story  of  the  residence  on  our  lot  for 
editorial  offices,  but  this  only  afforded  temporary  relief.  The  cramped  condi- 
tions under  vv'hich  we  were  working  made  it  apparent  that  we  must  find  relief 
either  by  adding  extra  stories  to  our  building  or  erecting  an  addition  on  the  lot 
occupied  by  the  residence. 

Coincident  with  the  rapid  and  encouraging  growth  of  our  own  business, 
there  came  an  increase  in  the  value  of  our  real  estate,  owing  to  its  favorable 


APPENDIX  121 

location  in  a  section  which  developed  rapidly  as  a  retail  center.  The  character 
of  our  business  does  not  require  that  cur  building  be  located  in  a  section  where 
ground  values  are  high,  and  we  therefore  decided  to  se'l  our  property  at  Sixth 
and  Grace  and  erect  a  larger  building  on  a  less  expensive  site. 

We  sold  our  property  for  $158,473.50  net,  thus  making  a  handsome  profit  on 
our  investment.  In  former  annual  reports  the  item  real  estate  has  been  listed 
at  its  net  cost,  $47,974.05.  The  present  report  carries  this  item  at  its  sale  price, 
and  as  a  result  we  have  a  large  increase  in  our  total  assets. 

A  Nciv  Site  and  Building. — We  purchased  at  lot  62x115  feet  on  Sixth  street, 
between  Main  and  Franklin,  at  a  cost  of  $32,500.  This  location  is  well  suited 
to  our  purpose,  as  it  is  in  the  heart  of  the  business  district  and  but  three  squares 
from  the  postoffice  and  express  office,  our  chief  avenues  for  forwarding  books 
and  papers  to  our  patrons.  Plans  for  a  fire-proof  building,  covering  the  entire 
lot,  five  stories  in  heiglt,  were  prepared,  and  the  new  plant  is  now  under  con- 
struction. It  will  contain  43,000  feet  of  floor  space,  against  16,500  in  present 
buildii  g.  The  new  building  will  cost  about  $80,000,  exclusive  of  furnishings. 
It  will  be  modern  in  all  its  appointments  and  of  sufficient  size  to  house  a 
printing  plant  should  we  ever  find  it  economical  to  do  our  own  printing.  We 
expect  to  remove  to  the  new  building  on  September  i,  1914. 

Business  Department  Summary. — The  sale  of  our  building  and  the  pros- 
pective removal  to  a  new  plant  made  it  desirable  for  us  to  reduce  our  stock 
to  the  lowest  point  consistent  with  ability  to  take  care  of  the  wants  of  our 
patrons.  We  have,  therefore,  been  offering  special  price  inducements  through 
the  year  on  our  stock  of  books  and  supplies,  and,  while  a  satisfactory  volume 
of  business  is  recorded,  we  sacrificed  the  usual  profit  in  order  to  save  expense 
in  moving  old  stock. 

As  a  result,  we  shall  enter  the  new  building  with  stock  reduced  to  a  mini- 
mum, and  will  thus  be  able  to  offer  our  patrons  of  the  future  fresh  selections 
from  the  recent  publications. 

Our  sales  report  for  the  year  is  as  f oHovits  : 

Sale  of  books  at  Richmond $  71,922.74 

Sales  of  periodicals  at  Richmond 104,819  92

Our  Texarkana  Depository. — The  steady  development  of  the  business  of 
the  Depository  is  an  evidence  of  its  efficiency  and  of  the  appreciation  our  con- 
stituency west  of  the  Mississippi  River  have  for  a  depot  of  supplies  close  at 
hand.  We  again  record  our  appreciation  of  the  faithful  and  capable  service 
of  the  manager  of  the  Depository,  the  Rev.  W.  L,  Hickman.  He  has  been 
tireless  in  his  effort  to  serve  our  patrons  promptly  and  satisfactorily,  and  in  the 
interest  of  economy  has  done  a  vast  amount  of  work  which  is  usually  delegated 
to  minor  clerks.  During  the  year  the  branch  issued  a  second  edition  of  the 
booklet,  "The  Little  Pongee  Gown,"  the  net  proceeds  of  which  are  given  to  the 
support  of  the  home  and  school  for  orphans  conducted  by  Miss  Dowd  in  Japan. 
Donations  of  periodicals.  Bibles,  books,  tracts  and  libraries  were  made  by  the 
branch  to  the  amount  of  $1,620,  and  150  schools  and  many  pastors  were  thus 
aided  in  their  work. 

Publication  of  New  Books  and  Tracts. — We  issued  during  the  year  a  large 
number  of  tracts — new  and  reprint — and  published  the  following  books : 

Life  Sketch  and  Selected  Sermons  of  R.  G.  Pearson,  D.  D.,  edited  by 
Mrs.  Pearson. 

History  of  Missions,  J.  Lewis  Howe. 

There  Shall  Be  No  Poor,  by  Rev.  J.  B.  Converse. 

Psalms  and  Hymns,  5,000  music  edition,  and  10,000  word  edition.. 

Assembly  Songs,  25,000  copies. 

The  Call  of  the  Home  Land,  fifth  edition. 

The  Little  Pongee  Gown,  reprint,  2,500  copies. 

Co-operative  Work. — Our  Committee  has  given  hearty  and  effective  support 
to  the  Special  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship  in  the  educational 
campaign,  which  has  for  its  object  the  introduction  of  the  Every-Member- 
Canvass  in  every  church.  We  have  acted  as  the  distributing  agency  for  the 
free  literature,  and  mailed  vast  quantities  of  leaflets  to  churches  and  individuals. 
We  also  published  at  our  own  cost  thousands  of  leaflets  to  promote  this  most 
important  undertaking.  We  have  made  a  careful  study  of  the  varying  needs 
of  our  churches  for  systems  of  collection  envelopes  and  have  endeavored  to 
provide  supplies  for  every  conceivable  condition.  We  perfected  a  series  of 
Stock  Form  Duplex  (double  end)  Envelopes  (the  system  endorsed  and  recom- 
mended by  the  Assembly),  which  we  are  able  to  offer  at  much  lower  price 
than  the  regular  "printed-to-order"  forms.  To  encourage  the  introduction  of 
the  new  plan  in  struggling  organizations,  we  offered  a  special  price  of  seven 
cents  per  package,  delivered,  for  the  Stock  Form  Duplex  Envelopes  to  churches 
now  receiving  aid,  provided  they  would  make  an  Every-Member  Canvass.  This 
unusual  offer  has  encouraged  many  small  churches  to  try  the  plan  which  would 
not  otherwise  have  made  the  venture.  Our  records  lead  us  to  believe  that  there 
has  been  an  increase  of  at  least  20  per  cent,  in  the  number  of  churches  which 


APPENDIX  123 

have  adopted  the  Assembly's  plan,  in  whole  or  in  part.  Where  the  plan  is  in- 
telligently tried  and  carefully  followed  up,  it  secures  increased  offerings  and 
provides  a  stable  support  for  the  local  expenses  of  the  church  and  for  all 
benevolent  causes. 

By  order  of  the  Assembly,  we  publish  the  official  organ  of  the  Church,  the 
Missionary  Survey,  and  it  has  been,  and  is,  a  happy  expression  of  the  unity  of 
all  the  Assembly's  activites.  Twenty-five  thousand  copies  are  published  monthly, 
but  our  ambition  is  to  enlarge  the  subscription  list  to  50,000  names. 

We  published  and  circulated  20,000  copies  of  the  Church  Calendar  of 
Prayer  for  1914,  which  presents  in  concrete  form  the  full  scope  of  work  of  our 
Assembly's  agencies,  with  special  dates  on  which  the  Church  is  asked  to  remem- 
ber the  workers  in  prayer. 

We  contributed  $1,135.00  from  the  sale  of  Assembly  Songs  to  the  evangelistic 
work  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions,  and  $250.00  from  the  sale 
of  "The  Little  Pongee  Gown"  to  the  orphanage  work  of  Miss  Dowd  in  Japan. 

For  the  promotion  of  the  ends  of  the  Home  Mission  Committee  at  Atlanta, 
we  publislied  a  series  of  seven  interesting  pamphlets  dealing  with  the  following 
phases  of  their  work :  Among  Foreigners,  Indians,  Frontier,  Mexicans,  Colored, 
Mountain  and  Rural  Communities. 

A  similar  set  of  seven  booklets,  covering  our  seven  foreign  mission  stations, 
was  published  in  1912  for  the  Foreign  Mission  Committee. 

Our  mailing  lists  have  been  at  the  service  of  the  other  agencies,  and  we 
have  addressed  envelopes  and  mailed  thousands  of  circulars  promoting  the 
enterprises  of  all  the  Executive  Committees. 

The  Woman's  Auxiliary. — We  take  pleasure  in  recording  our  cordial  ap- 
preciation of  the  valuable  service  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  has  rendered  our 
cause,  while  at  same  time  promoting  most  effectively  all  the  other  enterprises 
of  the  Church.  We  have  had  a  largely  increased  demand  for  literature  explain- 
ing the  scope  of  our  work,  and  from  every  quarter  of  the  Church  have  come 
requests  for  leaflets  of  instruction  for  leaders  in  Young  People's  Societies  and 
Sabbath  School  work. 

The  demand  for  information  has  been  so  great  that  it  has  taxed  our  ability 
to  produce  leaflets  as  rapidly  as  wanted,  and  the  fact  that  other  agencies  have 
had  simlar  demands  indicates  that  the  women  are  making  a  careful  study  of 
the  whole  work  of  the  Church,  and  that  their  support  will  in  the  future  be 
based  upon  a  broad  and  sympathetic  knowledge  of  the  needs  of  every  cause. 

The  Superintendent  of  the  Auxiliary,  Mrs.  W.  C.  Winsborough,  has  shown 
executive  ability  of  a  high  order  and  unusual  tact  and  patience  in  dealing  with 
difficult  situations.  We  have  aided  the  work  and  shared  in  its  supervision,  as 
directed  by  the  Assembly,  and  the  movement  should  have  the  strongest  en- 
dorsement the  Assembly  can  give  it. 

Our  Committee  will  gladly  share  with  the  other  executive  agencies  the 
expenses  of  the  Auxiliary  in  the  future,  in  order  that  the  time  and  energies  of 
its  officers  may  be  devoted  entirely  to  educational  and  inspirational  work. 

Sabbath  School  Extension  and  Benevolent  Work. — The  last  Assembly  scaled 
our  modest  request  for  $40,000  for  Sabbath  School  Extension  work  to  $37,500, 
and  at  the  same  time  set  before  us  the  following  tasks : 

Meeting  the  demands  for  Sabbath  School  missionaries  in  a  territory  where 


124  APPENDIX 

three  million  white  and  two  million  colored  children  are  out  of  the   Sabbath 
School. 

Supplyirg  free  literature  and  books  to  mission  schools  and  individuals  at 
rate  of  $  1,000  per  month.

children. 

Aiding  Sunday  School  Institutes  and  Conferences  in  sixteen  States. 

Conducting  an  educational  campaign  for  better  methods  of  work  in  3,100 
Sabbath  Schools.

Men's  Brotherhoods. 

Encourage  the  establishment  of  new  schools  in  spiritually  destitute  districts.

for  our  workers. 

Co-operale  with  other  agencies  in  a  Church-wide  campaign  of  Evangelism 
and  Stewardship. 

This  arid  countles's  other  incidental  items  upon  an  income  of  $37,500,  which 
we  lacked  four  thousand  dollars  of  receiving. 

A  summary  of  the  extension  and  benevolent  features  of  our  work  will  be 
found  in  detail  in  the  section  devoted  to  the  report  of  the  Superintendent  of 
Sabbath  School  and  Yourg  People's  Work. 

The  financial  summary  of  our  benevolent  work  is  shown  by  this  tabulation :

Future  Plans. — The  only  limitation  to  a  rapid  expansion  of  our  work  is  the 

lack  of  funds.     We  plan  to  meet  the  situation  as  rapidly  as  the  Church  supplies 

the  money  along  the  following  lines : 

1.  Place  field  workers  in  the  neediest  of  our  84  Presbyteries. 

2.  Encourage    Presbyteries  to  hold   S.    S.   Institutes   and  employ   Sunday 
School  missionaries. 


APPENDIX  125 

3.  Persuade   every   Church   of   ability   to   establish   one   or   more   mission 
Sunday  Schools, 

4.  Promote  organization  of  Young  People's  Socielits  in  local  churches. 

5.  Endeavor  to  bring  the  schools  up  to  the  standards  approved  by  the 
Assembly. 

6.  Aid  in  establishing  and  maintaining  a  training  school  for  lay  workers. 

7.  Stimulate  the  memorization  of  Catechisms  through  offer  of  Bibles  and 
Testaments. 

8.  Introduce  new   libraries  and   enlarge   usefulness  of  old  collections  of 
books. 

9.  Organize  teacher  training  classes  wherever  possible. 

10.     Aid   Sunday   School   Institutes   at  all   the  summer  Assembly  points   of 
our  Church. 

11.  Enlarge  our  donations  of  religious  tracts  and  literature. 

12.  Co-operate  with  the  other  agencies  of  the  Church  in  promoting  evan- 
gelistic effort  and  arousing  the  Church  to  a  sense  of  its  Christian  Stewardship 
responsibilities,  and  sustain  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  in  its  splendid  work  of 
educating  and  inspiring  the  women  to  co-operate  in  every  phase  of  the  benevolent 
activities  of  the  Church. 

The  current  operations  of  the  Publication  Department  will  be  enlarged  to 
meet  the  growing  demands  of  the  day,  and  in  our  new  plant  we  shall  have 
facilities  for  increasing  the  service  we  are  rendering  the  Church. 

Budget  for  Extension  Work  for  1914-15. — To  meet  in  an  adequate  way 
the  opportunities  confronting  us,  we  could  use  $75,000  per  annum.  We  do  not 
believe  the  Church  is  sufficiently  alive  to  the  importance  of  our  cause  at  once 
to  furnish  this  amount,  but  we  do  most  earnestly  ask  that  the  Assembly  urge 
the  churches  and  Sunday  Schools  to  contribute  next  year  $40,000  to  be  used  as 
per  tentative  budget  below  : 

Salaries  and  expenses  of  Superintendent  and  Field  Workers $20,000 

Donations  of  Sunday  School  literature,  libraries,  tracts,  etc 12,500 

Printed  matter  for  educational  and  inspirational  work 2,000 

Institutes  and  educational  work 4,500

We  come  through  the  labors  of  the  year  to  its  close  with  sincere  rejoicing 
and  grateful  praises.  There  has  been  unbroken  harmony  between  all  the  workers 
in  their  relations  to  this  department,  while  the  members  of  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee have  given  freely  of  their  time  and  counsel  as  to  all  matters  brought 
before  them.  The  Executive  Secretary  has  given  the  fullest  co-operation  to 
the  General  Superintendent  to  the  great  advantage  of  the  work.  Dr.  R.  A. 
Lapsley  has  given  most  valuable  help  as  time  permitted  in  conferences.  So  far 
as  known,  the  Presbyteries  have  received  the  suggestions  from  this  department 
with  universal  approval,  and  in  some  cases  with  marked  advance  in  their  work. 

Presbyterial  and  Synodical  Organization. — The  organization  of  the  work  in 
the  Presbyteries  and  Synods  remains  unsatisfactory,  though  some  improvement 


126  APPENDIX 

is  to  be  seen  here  and  there.  Most  of  the  committees  seem  content  with  making 
a  statistical  report,  accompanied  by  a  few  recommendations.  In  many  Presby- 
teries an  institute  is  held  at  least  once  a  year.  In  the  Presbytery  of  Mississippi 
the  territory  has  been  divided  by  counties,  with  a  Superintendent  in  each  county 
charged  with  the  duty  of  stimulating  old  schools  to  larger  life,  and  of  exploring 
the  counties  to  locate  and  occupy  destitute  neighborhoods.  The  experiment  is 
too  new  to  judge  of  its  efficacy.  The  greatest  need  seems  to  be  the  adoption 
of  a  simple  adapted  program  of  work  that  may  be  followed  to  its  conclusion. 
To  help  to  supply  this  need  a  large  new  edition  of  the  leaflet  entitled  "A  Model 
Presbyterian  Sunday  School"  has  been  printed,  to  be  used  along  with  the 
"Standards  of  Efficiency,"  already  in  use.  The  Executive  Committee  is  now 
prepared  to  issue  certificates  to  Model,  Standard  and  Progressive  schools  that 
may  apply  for  them,  and  large  charts  are  available  to  be  hung  up  in  the  schools 
for  information  and  comparison. 

The  General  Assembly's  Training  School. — The  fact  that  our  Executive 
Committee  has  led  in  the  movement  for  the  establishment  of  a  Training  School 
for  Lay  Workers  warrants  our  recording  here  that  the  Assembly's  Special  Com- 
mittee located  the  school  February  5,  1914,  at  Richmond,  Va.  The  intimate 
relation  of  the  work  of  the  Training  School  and  of  our  Executive  Committee 
justifies  their  fullest  co-operation.  Further  information  on  this  subject  is  to  be 
found  in  the  report  of  the  Assembly's  Special  Committee  on  Training  School 
submitted  to  this  Assembly. 

Secondary  Division  Matters. — A  notable  awakening  of  the  Sunday  Schools 
throughout  North  America  to  the  needs  of  pupils  of  the  teen  age  has  taken 
place.  For  administrative  purposes,  the  pupils  of  this  age  gathered  into  the 
Intermediate  and  Senior  Departments  have  been  included  in  the  "Secondary 
Division"  of  the  Sunday  School.  Effective  plans,  embodied  in  excellent  leaflets 
for  the  organization  and  work  of  this  division,  have  been  formed.  It  seems  to 
be  universally  agreed  that  these  young  folks  should  be  cared  for  in  organized 
classes  adapted  to  their  needs  for  study,  training  and  service.  Handsome  "Cer- 
tificates of  Recognition"  have  been  prepared  by  our  Committee  for  these  classes, 
and  may  be  had  free  on  application.  Up  to  January  i,  1914,  6,569  of  these 
classes  of  all  denominations  were  reported.  The  Southern  States  reported  1,225 
classes.  In  our  office  three  classes  have  reported,  with  an  enrollment  of  26 — all 
girls,  and  all  in  Virginia. 

Organised  Adult  Classes. — There  are  180  Organized  Adult  Classes,  with  an 
enrollment  of  3,593  pupils,  recorded  in  our  office,  while  Certificates  of  Recogni- 
tion have  been  issued  by  the  International  Sunday  School  Association  through 
the  various  State  Associations  to  339  classes  in  our  schools,  with  an  enrollment 
of  7,231  pupils.  For  the  year  15  new  classes,  with  a  total  enrollment  of  375, 
were  recorded  in  our  office.  A  considerable  number  of  these  classes  are  not 
enrolled  at  any  general  office,  which  makes  it  impossible  to  give  the  facts  in  full. 
In  some  of  our  schools  these  classes  have  grown  large  and  are  doing  substantial 
service.  The  unlimited  spiritual  developments  possible  from  these  classes  would 
seem  sufficient  to  commend  the  work  most  strongly  to  our  people  everywhere. 

Instruction. — i.  Graded  Uniform  Lessons.  In  pursuance  of  instructions 
given  our  Committee  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1912,  we  have  continued  to 
develop  the  plan  of  selecting  from  the  International  Uniform  Lessons  a  theme 


APPENDIX  127 

appropriate  to  the  needs  of  pupils  in  the  Primary,  Junior,  Intermediate  and 
Senior  Departments,  and  adapting  the  treatment  to  them.  To  the  Bible  themes 
thus  selected  we  are  adding  definite  memory  work.  Catechism,  hymns,  with 
practical  suggestions  for  hand  woik  and  heme  study,  and  for  grading  and  pro- 
motion. Our  people  have  showed  their  appreciation  and  approval  by  an  in- 
creasing use  of  these  periodicals.  We  have  by  no  means  exhausted  this  method 
of  treatment,  and,  with  the  approval  of  the  Assembly,  will  extend  and  improve 
it  in  every  way  possible.  We  are  persuaded  that  under  present  conditions  a  very 
large  number  of  our  schools  will  continue  to  use  the  Uniform  Lesson,  especially 
since  we  have  found  a  way  of  adapting  them  to  the  needs  of  the  pupil,  to  the 
requirements  of  approved  graded  organization,  and  can  supply  them  in  attractive 
form  at  low  cost  in  quarterly  issue.  Complete  information  and  directions  con- 
cerning this  method  of  instruction  are  given  in  a  series  of  "Graded  Manuals 
of  Instruction,"  furnished  free  of  cost. 

2.  Graded  Lessons.  The  General  Assembly  of  1913  gave  its  unanimous 
consent  that  the  Committee  of  Publication  might  "co-operate  with  other  Pres- 
byterian and  Reformed  SaLbath  School  agencies  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  in  the  effort  to  produce  a  series  of  graded  lessons  that  will  be  true  in  all 
their  parts  to  the  standards  of  our  Church  and  to  a  sound  philosophy  of  edu- 
cation and  adapted  to  the  needs  of  all  our  schools."  Previous  to  the  meeting 
of  the  Atlanta  Assembly  a  committee  of  twenty-two  representatives  of  the  fol- 
lowing Churches  met  in  Philadelphia,  April  22,  1913 :  The  Presbyterian  Church 
in  U.  S.  A,,  the  United  Presbyterian  Church,  the  Reformed  Church  in  America, 
the  Refoimed  Church  in  the  U.  S.,  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  Canada,  and  our 
own  Church.  After  full  eliscussion  and  mature  consideration,  this  committee 
unanimously  decided  that  the  preparation  of  a  graded  course  adapted  to  the 
common  needs  of  all  the  constituent  bodies  was  both  desirable  and  feasible.  A 
sub-committee  of  six,  one  from  each  denomination,  was  appointed  to  proceed 
with  the  preparation  of  this  series,  which  should  be  submitted  to  each  denom- 
ination concerned  before  final  action. 

The  preparation  of  a  course  of  lessons  was  begun  that  should  be  based  on 
the  International  Graded  Lessons;  wholly  Biblical,  distinctively  evangelical  in 
emphasis ;  graded  by  departments ;  and  suitable  for  issuance  in  quarterly  form. 
Editorial  writers  were  engaged,  and  a  tentative  business  agreement  was  effected. 
When  the  plans  of  this  Presbyterian-Reformed  group  became  generally  know, 
they  were  widely  approved,  and  several  of  the  largest  denominations  for  various 
reasons  sought  the  privilege  of  helping  to  perfect  and  of  adopting  them  for  use 
in  their  smaller  schools.  The  group,  rejoicing  in  the  approval  of  their  brethren 
and  hoping  to  serve  the  greatest  constituency  possible,  delayed  their  work  until 
further  conference  could  be  held  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  April  22,  1914.  The 
group  remains  strongly  united  by  mutual  esteem  and  confidence,  and  by  common 
interests,  and  is  ready  to  resume  its  work  at  the  earliest  possible  time,  in  the 
hope  that  whatever  plans  may  be  ultimately  adopted,  the  evident  advantages  of 
co-operating  with  the  International  Lesson  Committee  may  be  contmued  and 
increased. 

Sunday  School  Extension. — It  is  a  source  of  encouragement  and  rejoicing 
that  the  churches  and  schools  are  coming  more  and  more  to  realize  that  the 
Sunday  School  is  a  mighty  power  in  Church  Extension.    Growing  numbers  of 


128  APPENDIX 

schools  are  earnestly  trying  to  increase  their  enrollments  by  systematic  and 
sustained  efforts.  The  agitation  in  behalf  of  the  organization  of  mission  schools 
in  direct  touch  with  organized  Church  life  is  bearing  fruit  in  many  directions. 
Surely  it  should  be  no  vain  hope  that  every  self-supporting  church  should  have 
one  or  more  mission  schools.  Many  of  the  smaller  and  weaker  churches  would 
doubtless  find  in  the  maintenance  of  a  mission  a  source  of  spiritual  awakening 
and  enlargement  of  their  own  lives. 

Close  study  of  the  field  is  revealing  new  neighborhoods,  more  or  less  remote, 
that  are  sorely  in  need  of  Sunday  Schools.  The  older  Presbyteries  begin  at  last 
to  search  their  own  territory  carefully  only  to  find  that  there  are  many  com- 
munities utterly  without  adequate  religious  privileges  that  welcome  a  Sunday 
School.  One  of  the  chief  difficulties  in  the  way  of  progress  is  the  entire  absence 
of  persons  capable  and  willing  to  take  the  lead.  It  is  universally  recognized 
that  the  Sunday  School  missionary  has  a  unique,  fundamental  and  constructive 
task  in  exploring  new  territory,  in  visiting  from  house  to  house,  in  organizing 
a  community  for  the  study  of  the  Bible,  and  in  nurturing  the  schools  till  they 
become  self-supporting. 

During  the  past  year  our  Committee  supported,  in  whole  or  in  part,  mis- 
sionaries who  labored  in  ten  Synods,  to  wit :  Alabama,  Kentucky,  Louisiana, 
Mississippi,  Missouri,  North  Carolina,  Oklahoma,  Tennessee,  Texas,  Virginia; 
in  the  sixteen  Presbyteries  of  Greenbrier,  Tygart's  Valley,  Wilmington,  Fayette- 
ville.  Orange,  Concord,  Memphis,  Mobile,  New  Orleans,  Brazos,  Western  Texas, 
Durant,  Indian,  Potosi  and  West  Lexington.  Arrangements  have  been  com- 
pleted for  putting  a  missionary  in  each  of  the  Presbyteries  of  Piedmont,  in 
South  Carolina  Synod,  and  Macon,  in  the  Synod  of  Georgia.  We  confidently 
hope  to  have  soon  at  least  one  missionary  in  each  Synod,  and  are  planning  to 
have  at  least  one  in  each  Presbytery.  In  some  fields  our  Committee  pays  the 
whole  cost  of  the  missionary,  while  in  others  we  divide  the  cost  with  the 
Presbytery. 

Experience  teaches  us  that  the  best  results  are  obtained  where  the  direction 
of  the  details  of  the  enterprise  is  kept  in  the  hands  of  the  Presbyterial  Com- 
mittee of  Sunday  Schools.  We  have  concluded  that  it  is  best  not  to  appropriate 
funds  for  a  Sunday  School  missionary  who  for  any  considerable  length  of 
time  serves  an  organized  church,  and  we  prefer  to  employ  laymen. 

Some  of  the  results  of  our  extension  work  are  indicated  in  the  following 
tabular  statement : 

Number  of  persons  engaged,  whole  and  part  time 22

Another  phase  of  this  extension  work  is  the  free  circulation  of  Sunday 
School  periodicals  and  leaflets  among  the  weak  and  struggling  schools.  The 
schools  are  expected  to  pay  for  their  periodicals  as  soon  as  they  can.  During 
the  past  year  331  schools,  with  a  total  enrollment  of  about  14,000,  have  been 
thus  aided. 

For  the  perfect  recitation  of  the  Shorter  Catechism  we  awarded  928  Bibles, 
and  for  memorizing  the  introduction  to  the  Shorter  Catechism  we  gave  2,753 
Testaments  during  the  past  year. 

II.      YOUNG  people's  WORK. 

Literature. — Interest  in  work  for  the  young  people  is  increasing.  This 
department  keeps  in  close  touch  with  the  discussions  affecting  this  activity 
throughout  the  country,  and  seeks  to  appropriate  the  best  methods  of  work  and 
adapt  them  to  our  own  needs.  Literature  has  been  written  and  rewritten  to 
supply  present  needs  and  to  keep  pace  with  progress.  A  constitution  for  the 
Junior  Westminster  League  has  been  printed  and  is  being  circulated  widely. 
Progressive  plans  have  been  adopted  for  improving  the  Children's  Friend, 
especially  in  providing  for  the  needs  of  junior  societies.  Revised  constitutions 
and  fresh  leaflets  dealing  with  different  activities  have  been  prepared  for  the 
Westminster  League,  the  Covenanters  and  the  Miriams,  while  we  carry  in 
stock  the  literature  of  the  United  Society  of  Christian  Endeavor.  A  leaflet  en- 
titled A  Year's  Programs  has  been  prepared  by  Miss  Binford  and  Miss  Pauline 
Grant,  of  Richmond,  Va.,  giving  full  and  progressive  plans  for  two  meetings  a 
month. 

College  Conferences. — With  the  gracious  approval  of  the  presidents  of  the 
following  institutions.  Miss  Binford  has  visited  them,  to  wit :  Mary  Baldwin 
Seminar)^  Staunton,  Va. ;  Chicora  College,  Greenville,  S.  C. ;  Converse  College, 
Spartanburg,  S.  C. ;  Queen's  College,  Charlotte,  N.  C. ;  Randolph-Macon  College, 
Lynchl)urg,  Va. ;  and  the  State  Normal  School,  Harrisonburg,  Va.  She  got 
the  Presbyterian  students  together  and  had  intimate  conferences  about  their 
relation  to  the  Sunday  School  and  Young  People's  Society  in  their  home 
churches.  Her  main  purpose  was  to  lay  upon  the  hearts  and  consciences  of 
these  splendid  girls  a  definite  call  to  leadership,  and  to  draw  from  them  seme 
positive  expression  of  their  desire  for  special  forms  of  service.  An  encouraging 
response  was  made  at  each  college  or  school.  Private  personal  letters  have  Been 
written  to  pastors  to  inform  them  of  the  hopes  and  purposes  of  the  girls.  A 
need  for  brief  courses  of  study  on  Sunday  School  and  Young  People's  Work, 
to  be  taken  voluntarily  by  the  girls  while  in  school  or  college,  was  revealed,  and 
the  need  will  be  supplied  in  due  time.  Miss  Binford's  personality  and  work 
made  a  favorable  impression  alike  on  faculties  and  students.  We  hope  to 
extend  this  work  widely. 

A   Mighty  Nem  Force. — The  deliberate  adoption  of  a  comprehensive  pro- 


130  APPENDIX 

gram  of  work  by  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  of  our  General  Assembly  has  brought 
into  the  field  of  Young  People's  Work  a  new  and  most  constructive  force.  In 
the  Synodicals,  Presbyterials  and  Local  Women's  Societies  permanent  com- 
mittees on  this  branch  of  work  have  been  appointed,  whose  business  it  is,  after 
conference  with  the  proper  officers  of  the  Presbyteries,  to  organize  new  socie- 
ties and  aid  in  their  development.  The  women  have  co-operated  most  loyally 
and  helpfully  with  the  Young  People's  Department  in  all  phases  of  its  work. 
As  fast  as  their  needs  have  become  known  we  have  supplied  them  gladly  and 
liberally  with  literature.  The  results  of  the  women's  activity  are  most  apparent 
in  the  circulation  of  fresh  information,  in  organizing  new  societies,  in  the  devel- 
opment of  new  leaders,  and  in  enlarged  contributions  to  our  work. 

Editorial  Department. 

"A  work  to  do,  life  to  do  it  in,  and  grace  to  do  it!" — such  we  may  thankfully 
say  has  been  the  record  of  our  Editorial  Department  during  the  year  that  is 
past.  God  has  opened  before  us  a  great  and  effectual  door.  Our  lesson  literature 
has  gone  into  the  hands  of  nearly  370,000  students  of  the  Scriptures,  young  and 
old.  The  Missionary  Survey  and  Ommrd  have  reached  60,000  readers  more. 
We  show  a  literary  output  from  the  Publication  Building,  including  single 
copies  of  all  of  our  literature,  of  over  11,000,000  single  copies,  as  seen  in  the  fol- 
lowing detailed  statement  of  our

Our  Periodicals.— Mr.  W.  C.  Smith,  editor  of  The  Missionary  Stirvey  and 
Onward,  makes  this  statement  concerning  these  two : 

The  Missionary  Survey  has  made  a  slight  gain  in  total  subscriptions  during 
the  past  twelve  months,  standing  now  at  25,000. 

Judging  from  our  correspondence  with  subscribers,  there  is  a  much  greater 
increase  in  interest,  with  more  evidence  that  the  magazine  is  being  read  and 
used  in  other  practical  ways.  This  means  a  strengthening  of  the  bonds  and  a 
steadier  subscription  list.    It  also  gives  promise  of  larger  personal  effort  among 


APPENDIX  131 

our  patrons  to  secure  new  subscribers.    As  we  have  no  paid  agents,  but  depend 
entirely  upon  the  voluntary  assistance  of  club  agents,  this  is  important. 

Onward  makes  a  gain  of  5,000  weekly  circulation  for  the  year  just  closed. 
In  other  words,  the  paper  now  has  a  circulation  of  36,000  vs.  31,000  this  time 
last  year. 

The  ideal  set  before  us  is  to  make  Onzvard  indispensable  to  all  the  Sunday 
Schools  of  our  Church  in  furnishing  their  membership  in  all  departments  from 
Intermediate  up  with  wholesome  and  uplifting  pastime  reading.  Selections  for 
its  columns  are  carefully  made,  with  a  view  to  stimulating  in  both  young  and 
older  readers  high  ideals  of  life  and  service.  Not  a  story  nor  a  clipping  goes 
into  the  paper  without  first  being  tested  by  this  standard. 

It  is  also  our  aim  to  make  the  seventh  page  of  the  paper,  devoted  to  Young 
People's  Societies,  of  greatest  practical  value  to  these  organizations  in  sug- 
gestive helps  for  all  their  devotional  and  other  activities.  To  this  end,  during 
the  past  year.  Miss  A.  B.  Binford  has  been  added  to  Onward's  staff,  and  she 
will  continue  to  devote  her  expert  knowledge  and  rare  gifts  to  the  helpfulness 
of  that  page. 

The  Earnest  Worker. — Besides  sharing  the  general  characteristics  of  all  of 
our  lesson  literature,  which  will  be  more  fully  described  below,  the  Earnest 
Worker  continues  to  present  in  attractive  form  those  special  features  which  have 
given  it  a  place  of  ever-widening  influence  in  our  Sabbath  Schools  and  in  the 
homes  of  our  Church. 

The  Lesson  Treatment  in  its  columns  is  fuller  and  more  varied,  with  choice 
illustrative  material,  extracts  from  standard  writers.  Thoughts  for  Daily  Use 
based  on  the  Daily  Home  Readings,  and  missionary  application  and  special 
temperance  lessons ;  together  with  special  suggestions  to  teachers  in  every  de- 
partment as  to  how  that  particular  lesson  may  best  be  presented  to  their  own 
grade  in  the  school. 

The  appreciation  of  the  Earnest  Worker  throughout  our  whole  constit- 
uency is  shown  by  its  remarkable  growth  in  subscriptions ;  eleven  years  ago  we 
printed  barely  25,000  copies — now  the  Earnest  Worker  is  past  the  55,000  mark. 

Our  Other  Lesson  Helps. — According  to  plans  which  were  outlined  in  our 
last  Annual  Report,  we  are  now  placing  in  the  hands  of  our  Sabbath  School 
scholars  0  unique  lesson  literature. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  following  five  features  which  are  to  be  noted  in 
the  Earnest  Worker  and  the  Quarterlies,  the  possession  of  which  by  our  lesson 
helps  puts  them  in  a  class  apart  from  any  other  lesson  literature  published  in 
this  country.  These  features  are  the  Uniform  Lesson  throughout,  a  carefully 
graded  series  of  Quarterlies,  the  preparation  of  these  by  experts  in  the  grade 
of  teaching  to  which  these  Quarterlies  are  adapted,  proznsion  for  Home  Study, 
a  system  of  marking  and  grading  pupils  clearly  pointed  out  in  the  Quarterlies 
themselves : 

I.  The  Uniform  Lesson  is  taught  in  all  our  lesson  helps  except  the  Begin- 
ners' Series.  Thus  we  have  one  and  the  same  Scripture  passage  for  the  whole 
school ;  with  the  same  title  and  Golden  Text,  the  same  practical  application  and 
doctrinal  teaching.  A  very  large  majority  of  our  schools  prefer  the  Uniform 
Lesson,  and  are  wedded  to  the  idea  of  studying  the  same  lesson  every  Sunday 


132  APPENDIX 

with  the  whole  Christian  world — as  well  as  the  same  lesson  in   each   Sunday 
School  and  in  every  family. 

2.  Graded  Quarterlies.  While  the  Scripture  lesson  is  thus  uniform  and  the 
same  throughout  the  school,  except  in  the  Beginners'  Department,  it  is  studied  in 
a  system  of  Graded  Lesson  helps,  which  are  carefully  adapted  to  the  six  depart- 
ments into  which  well  organized  schools  are  usually  divided.  These  are  the 
Beginners,  from  3  to  5  yfears  of  age;  the  Primary,  from  6  to  9  years  of  age;  the 
Junior,  from  10  to  12  years  of  age;  the  Intermediate,  from  13  to  16;  the  Senior, 
from  17  to  19;  the  Adult,  from  20  years  and  upward.  To  match  these  we  have 
the  Beginners'  Lesson  Stories  and  the  Bible  Picture  Cards  for  the  Beginners' 
Department,  the  Bible  Picture  Cards  carrying  the  Uniform  Lesson ;  the  Primary 
Quarterly,  the  same  lesson  also  being  found  in  the  Pearls  for  the  Little  Ones,  the 
Junior  Quarterly,  the  Intermediate  Quarterly,  the  Senior  Quarterly,  the  Home 
Department  and  Adult  Bible  Class  Quarterly,  and  the  Earnest  Worker.  It  will 
be  found  upon  examination  that  each  one  of  these  is  skilfully  adapted  to  the 
age  and  development  of  the  grade  of  children  for  which  it  is  designed,  and  that, 
taken  together,  they  form  a  well  planned  series  in  an  ascending  scale  of  in- 
struction in  spiritual  things.

VII.  REPORT  ON  THE  BIBLE  CAUSE. 
(abstract.) 

In  view  of  what  the  American  Bible  Society  is  in  its  relation  to  the  churches, 
and  in  view  further  of  all  that  has  been  and  could  be  said  of  the  work  done  by  it, 
your  Committee  would  respectfully  submit  the  following  for  judgment  and 
action  by  this  body,  viz : 

First.  The  distinctive  missionary  character  and  work  of  the  Bible  Society. 
That  by  its  charter  it  is,  in  a  most  peculiar  sense,  made  the  custodian  of  the 
Bible  for  the  poor,  the  neglected,  the  destitute,  the  unevangelized,  both  at  home 
and  abroad. 

Second.  That  in  the  discharge  of  this  missionary  trust  the  Society  has, 
and  continues  to  the  full  extent  of  its  ability,  to  translate  the  Bible  into  foreign 
languages,  to  revise  these  foreign  translations,  and  to  publish  and  to  distribute 
the  Word  of  God  "without  note  or  comment." 

Third.  That  through  its  agencies,  at  home  and  abroad,  it  has  gone  inta 
all  parts  of  the  earth,  distributing  multiplied  millions  of  Scriptures  and  bringing 
"light  and  life"  to  many  thousands  who  sat  in  "the  region  and  shadow  of  death." 

Fourth.  That  by  its  organization  the  Society  was  made  and  by  its  co- 
operation continues  to  be  the  servant  of  the  churches  in  their  missionary 
endeavors. 

Fifth.  That  the  highest  efficiency  of  all  denominational  missionary  enter- 
prise is  vitally  connected  with  and  dependent  upon  the  life  and  work  of  the 
Bible  Society.  In  fact,  should  the  Bible  Societies  cease  to  be  or  suspend  their 
work  for  even  a  brief  period,  every  missionary  enterprise  would  feel  the 
paralyzing  effect,  and  many  of  them  would  be  seriously  hindered  if  not  entirely 
suspended.    Missions  and  the  Bible  Society  stand  or  fall  together. 


APPENDIX  133 

Sixth.  That  in  prosecuting  the  work  with  which  it  is  charged  by  the 
churches,  it  has  a  right  to  look  to  the  churches  for  an  adequate  support. 

Seventh.  That  if  the  Society  is  to  enlarge  its  work  to  meet  the  pressing 
opportunities,  or  even  to  continue  its  present  program  of  activities,  it  must 
receive  a  much  more  generous  support  from  the  churches. 

Eighth.  That  during  the  current  fiscal  year  there  has  been  a  serious  falling 
off  in  legacies,  and,  while  there  has  been  a  hopeful  increase  in  gifts  from  the 
living,  this  increase  has  not  been  sufficient,  except  to  a  very  limited  extent,  to 
offset  the  shrinkage  in  legacies.  The  present  budget  of  expenditures  of  the 
Society  is  in  excess  of  its  regular  income.  Therefore,  to  avoid  a  serious  deficit, 
the  Society  must  receive  larger  gifts  from  its  friends,  or  it  faces  the  alternative 
of  regretable  retrenchment.  This  latter,  in  view  of  the  world-conditions  and 
world-needs,  would  be  but  little  less  than  a  calamity.  "A  famine  of  the  Word  of 
God  would  be  the  starvation  of  souls." 

Ninth.  That  the  Society  appreciates  the  support  it  has  received  from  the 
Southern  Presbyterian  Church,  and  especially  that  fact  that  it  has  been  put  upon 
this  Church's  budget.  The  amount  of  more  than  ten  thousand  dollars  asked 
for  this  cause  is  commendable.  But,  in  order  that  this  amount  be  raised,  due 
emphasis  must  be  given  it  and  careful  consideration  of  and  ample  provision 
made  for  it  by  every  church  in  its  Every-Member-Canvass. 

Recommendations. 

First.  That  this  Assembly,  as  the  mouthpiece  of  our  beloved  Church, 
pledges  itself  to  a  larger  interest  in  and  to  a  more  generous  support  to  the 
American  Bible  Society. 

Second.  That  the  Society  be  most  heartily  commended  to  the  generosity 
of  our  churches,  church  societies  and  Sunday  Schools,  and  that  each  church  be 
urged  to  make  an  ofifering  to  same. 

Third.  That  our  pastors  and  Sessions  be  earnestly  requested  to  bring  to 
the  attention  of  our  people  the  work  and  needs  of  the  Society,  and  to  provide 
for  it  in  the  Every-Member-Canvass,  where  made,  so  that  the  one  per  cent, 
apportioned  the  Society  among  "the  causes"  be  the  minimum,  not  the  maximum, 
standard  of  our  gifts  to  this  work. 

Fourth.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  1916  will  be  the  Centennial  of  the  Amer- 
ican Bible  Societ}^  that  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed  by  the  Assembly,  who 
may  be  associated  with  like  committees  from  other  religious  bodies,  in  co-opera- 
tion with  the  management  of  the  Society  in  their  plans  for  the  celebration  of 
this  noteworthy  event. 

On  behalf  of  the  Committee,  and  approved  by  same. 

M.  B.  Porter,  Chairman.

Printed  reports  of  the  four  Executive  Committees,  the  Campaign  Com- 
mittee and  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  have  been  placed  in  our  hands  and  have 
been  carefully  considered.  The  Committee  has  also  had  conferences  with  the 
Executive  and  other  Secretaries  at  both  its  meetings,  and  at  the  Kansas  City 
meeting  with  Mrs.  Winsborough,  Superintendent  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary. 
We  find,  in  general,  that  the  organization  of  the  various  Executive  Committees 
is  well  adapted  to  the  work  outlined  for  each  Committee  by  the  General  As-* 
sembly. 

After  careful  consideration  of  the  information  gained  from  all  sources, 
your  Committee  presents  the  following  data  and  recommendations : 

L    Foreign  Missions. 

In  the  face  of  great  difficulties,  the  Executive  Committee  of  Foreign  "Mis- 
sions, in  its  business  management,  has  displayed  an  increased  efficiency.  It  has, 
however,  been  badly  crippled  by  lack  of  funds,  and  is  embarrassed  by  the  chal- 
lenge of  ever-enlarging  opportunities  and  pressing  needs,  coupled  with  the 
inability  to  do  any  more  than  barely  hold  its  own. 

We,  therefore,  recommend : 

I.  That  the  Assembly  adopt  a  declaration  to  the  Church  emphasizing  the 
necessity  of  a  generous  increase  in  offerings  for  our  Foreign  Mission  work,  to 
the  end  that  the  present  pressing  needs  may  be  met  and  the  missionary  plat- 
form adopted  by  the  Birmingham  Assembly  may  be  speedily  overtaken. 


APPENDIX  135 

2.  We  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  fact  that  one  of  the 
greatest  needs  of  our  Foreign  Mission  administration  is  a  reserve  fund  ot 
$100,000,  which  could  be  drawn  on  for  the  maintenance  of  the  work  during 
those  seasons  in  which  the  Committee  is  now  compelled  to  borrow  money. 

Such  a  fund  is  provided  by  some  of  our  sister  churches,  and  would  save 
our  Committee,  in  interest,  some  $6,000.00  annually. 

This  reserve  fund  would,  of  course,  need  to  be  raised  over  and  above  all 
present  support  funds. 

We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  strongly  approve  of  such  a  reserve  fund, 
and  commend  it  to  those  in  our  Church  whom  God  has  blessed  with  means. 

3.  In  calling  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  perils  that  threaten  our 
Foreign  Missions  work  through  forced  retrenchment,  we  recommend  that  the 
Executive  Committee  be  instructed  to  make  every  effort  to  send  out  the  rein- 
forcements which  are  most  sorely  needed ;  and  in  case  another  shortage  of  funds 
should  threaten,  the  Committee  be  authorized  to  use  such  means  as  may  seem 
legitimate  and  wise  to  increase  the  Foreign  Mission  income. 

4.  In  making  this  recommendation,  however,  we  believe  that  if  the  Assem- 
bly's plan  were  generally  adopted  and  the  Every-Membcr-Canvass  properly 
and  urgently  prosecuted,  the  possibility  of  such  emergencies  would  be  removed ; 
therefore,  we  also  recommend  that  the  Assembly  instruct  the  Executive  Secre- 
taries to  cooperate  in  commending  the  plan  to  the  churches  and  promoting  its 
adoption  by  every  congregation,  and  urge  the  churches  to  see  to  it  that  their 
contributions  to  each  of  the  causes  reach  or  exceed  their  proportions  of  the 
amounts  requested  by  the  Assembly. 

5.  We  heartily  approve  the  action  of  the  Executive  Committee  on  Foreign 
Missions  in  withdrawing  from  the  Mission  Treasurers  authority  to  make  over- 
drafts. 

6.  We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  reiterate  its  request  for  a  detailed 
statement  of  the  material  equipment  of  the  mission  stations,  to  be  published  in 
the  Annual  Report ;  and  that  such  information  as  can  be  obtained  in  regard  to 
this  equipment  be  published  next  spring. 

7.  We  recommend  that  one  Secretary  and  one  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Foreign  Missions  attend  the  annual  sessions  of  the  Conference 
of  the  Secretaries  of  the  Foreign  Missions  Board  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada. 

8.  We  recommend  the  amount  of  $678,333.33  (55%)  as  the  minimum  need 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Foreign  Missions  for  each  of  the  years  1914- 
1915  and  1915-1916. 

9.  The  following  nominations  are  made  for  vacancies  on  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Foreign  Missions  for  a  term  of  three  years :  Rev.  C.  E.  Diehl, 
Rev.  E.  D.  McDougall,  Rev.  L.  E.  McNair,  G.  A.  Baskette,  J.  P.  McCallie, 
Rutherford  Lapsley,  W.  A.  Dale,  and  B.  F.  Moore. 

Rev.  W.  L.  Caldwell  to  fill  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  Josiah  Sibley. 

Rev.  David  M.  Sweets  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  E.  H.  Schar- 
ringhaus. 

Rev.  Egbert  W.  Smith  is  nominated  as  Executive  Secretary  of  Foreign 
Missions  for  a  term  of  three  years. 


136  APPENDIX 

II.  Home  Missions. 
We  are  pleased  to  note  the  vigorous  policy  of  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Home  Missions.  Along  several  lines,  however,  we  would  urge  a  more  aggres- 
sive effort,  namely :  in  work  for  Jews,  Foreigners  and  Negroes,  and  in  the 
endeavor  to  assist  in  solving  the  problem  of  the  country  church  and  to  promote 
Synodical  Home  Missions. 

1.  Work  Among  the  Jews. — We  recommend  that  the  Executive  Committee 
of  Home  Missions  proceed  at  once  to  investigate  the  needs  of  work  among  the 
Jews  in  the  bounds  of  our  Assembly;  ascertain  the  best  methods  to  be  pursued 
in  meeting  these  needs,  and  suggest  in  their  next  report  to  the  General  Assembly 
a  definite  program  for  this  work, 

2.  The  Country  Chtirch. — We  believe  that  the  problem  of  the  country 
church  is  essentially  a  local  one,  and  must  be  solved  largely  in  the  light  of  local 
conditions ;  however,  as  aid  to  the  solution  of  this  problem,  we  recommend 
that  the  Home  Mission  Committee  collect  all  the  available  data  upon  this  sub- 
ject, and  put  it  into  such  form  as  may  be  useful  to  local  committees  in  our 
Church  in  solving  this  problem. 

3.  Development  of  Synodical  Home  Missions. — We  recommend:  (a)  That 
the  General  Assembly  urge  every  Synod  to  organize  the  work  thoroughly 
within  its  own  bounds  in  order  that  the  needs  of  the  weaker  Presbyteries  may 
be  supplied  through  Synodical  assistance. 

(b)  That  as  a  general  policy,  wherever  it  is  found  practicable,  each  Synod 
be  urged  to  elect  a  Synodical  Superintendent  of  Home  Missions,  as  has  been 
done  in  Virginia,  North  Carolina,  South  Carolina,  Georgia,  Mississippi,  and 
Missouri. 

(e)  That  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  stimulate  and 
encourage  the  Synods  in  such  Synodical  organization. 

4.  We  recommend  that  one  Secretary  and  one  member  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Home  Missions  attend  the  annual  sessions  of  the  Home  Mission 
Council;  the  expenses  of  such  attendance  to  be  borne  by  the  Executive  Com- 
mittee. 

5.  We  recommend  the  observance  of  Home  Mission  Week  in  November  in 
all  of  our  churches  for  the  purpose  of  educating  our  people  in  the  v/ork  and 
needs  of  this  great  cause. 

6.  We  recommend  the  amount  of  $333,000.00  {2y'yo)  as  the  minimum  need 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Home  Missions  for  each  of  the  years  1914-1915 
and  1915-1916. 

7.  The  following  nominations  are  made  for  vacancies  on  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Home  Missions  for  a  term  of  three  years :  John  J.  Egan,  W.  M. 
Everett,  C.  J.  Martin,  Rev.  A.  R.  Holderby,  Rev.  J.  G.  Patton,  and  J.  R. 
McCain. 

Rev.  W.  E.  Hill  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  H.  K.  Walker. 

HI.    Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief. 
Your  Committee  would  commend  the  excellent  management  displayed  by 
the  Executive  Committee  of   Christian   Education  and   Ministerial   Relief.     Its 
endowment  funds  are  well  invested  and  the  business  entrusted  to  it  has  been 
wisely  administered. 


APPENDIX  137 

The  greatest  need  of  the  Committee  at  present  seems  to  be  a  large  increase 
in  the  Student's  Loan  Fund. 

1,  We  recommend  the  amount  of  $172,666.67  (14%)  as  the  minimum  need 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief  for 
the  years  1914-1915  and  1915-1916. 

2.  The  following  nominations  are  made  for  vacancies  in  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief  for  a  term  of  three 
years:  Rev.  T.  M.  Hawes  and  Messrs.  W.  J.  Rubel,  Garland  H.  Mourning, 
Wade  Sheltman  and  Dr.  A.  J.  A.  Alexander. 

IV.  Publication  and  Sabbath  School  Work. 
During  the  meeting  held  in  Richmond,  Virginia,  your  Committee  visited 
the  buildings  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and  Sunday  School 
Work.  The  Secretarj',  Mr.  R.  E.  Magill,  and  the  other  members  of  the  Execu- 
tive Committee  showed  your  Committee  through  the  different  departments. 
The  Committee  is  divided  into  three  sub-committees,  each  looking  after  its  own 
department,  and,  according  to  our  judgment,  all  are  well  organized.  The 
methods  adopted  and  the  system  employed  are  such  as  to  secure  efficiency  and 
economy. 

1.  We  recommend  that  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and 
Sunday  School  Work  be  directed  to  encourage  the  Sunday  Schools  to  make  a 
study  of  the  benevolent  activities  of  the  Assembly,  and  to  this  end  that  space 
be  given  in  the  Sunday  School  periodicals  to  material  which  can  be  used  to 
interest  and  instruct  pupils  of  all  ages  in  the  whole  work  of  the  Church. 

2.  In  view  of  the  fact  that  there  is  an  immense  potentiality  in  the  men  of 
our  Church,  as  yet  undeveloped,  we  recommend  that  the  General  Assembly 
request  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Work  and 
the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Laymen's  Missionary  Movement  to  confer  and 
report  to  the  next  Assembly  a  constructive  program  for  the  men  of  the  Church, 
whereby  their  full  activities  may  be  developed  in  the  local  congregations. 

3.  We  recommend  the  amount  of  $37,000.00  (3%)  as  the  minimum  need 
of  the  Executive  Committee  of  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Work  for 
each  of  the  years  1914-1915  and  1915-1916. 

4.  The  following  nominations  are  made  for  vacancies  on  the  Executive 
Committee  of  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Work: 

Rev.  W.  E.  Hutchinson  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  G.  B.  Strickler. 

W.  S.  Currell  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  George  Bryan. 

Rev.  Wesley  Baker  to  fill  out  the  unexpired  term  of  Rev.  D.  Clay  Lilly. 

Rev,  J.  P.  Smith,  Rev.  Russell  Cecil,  Rev.  J.  C.  Stewart,  John  W.  Friend,  Jr., 
and  M.  M.  Gilliam  to  serve  for  three  years. 

V.    Campaign  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship. 

The  report  from  the  Campaign  Committee  on  Evangelism  and  Stewardship 
manifests  faithful  work  on  the  part  of  this  Committee. 

Their  efforts  were  along  three  lines :  First,  the  promotion  of  an  interest 
in  Evangelism  throughout  our  Assembly;  second,  the  furtherance  of  the  As- 
sembly's plan ;  and,  third,  an  effort  to  raise  an  endowment  of  a  million  dollars 
for  reinforcement  and  equipment. 

In  the  first  two  of  these  lines  a  considerable  service  was  rendered  in  the 
way  of  following  up  and  extending,  by  means  of  correspondence,  the  work  inaug- 


138  APPENDIX 

urated  through  conferences  the  previous  year.  The  effort  to  raise  the  million 
dollar  endowment,  after  a  fair  trial,  was  abandoned,  as  the  time  seemed  inop- 
portune. 

Your  Committee  approves  of  the  decisions  reached  by  this  Committee,  by 
which  the  work  of  Evangelism  is  committed  to  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Home  Missions,  and  the  raising  of  the  funds  for  their  reinforcements  and 
equipments  to  the  four  Executive  Committees. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that,  so  far,  of  our  3,400  churches  only  930,  representing 
a  membership  of  147,047  (approximately  50%),  have  adopted  the  Assembly's 
plan,  we  recommend : 

(a)  That  the  Campaign  Committee,  as  formerly  organized,  be  continued; 
and 

(b)  That  this  Committee  be  charged  with  the  definite  task  of  advancing 
the  interests  of  the  Assembly's  financial  plan  and  of  securing  its  adoption  in 
all  of  our  churches. 

VI.    Woman's  Auxiliary. 

We  note  with  gratification  the  good  results  accomplished  by  the  women 
since  their  fuller  organization.  On  account  of  the  efficiency  and  enthusiasm 
which  they  have  displayed,  several  practical  questions  have  emerged  which 
affect  the  relationship  of  their  contributions  through  their  societies  to  the  gen- 
eral financial  plan  of  the  Church. 

First:  Of  these  is  the  question  as  to  whether  the  women  should  be  en- 
couraged to  subscribe  liberally  to  the  budget  and  give  through  the  church 
treasury,  or  whether  they  should  be  encouraged  to  give  chiefly  through  the 
societies  and  only  a  minimum  through  their  envelopes. 

Second:  As  to  whether  the  amounts  pledged  by  the  women  to  the  budget 
and  contributed  through  the  church  envelopes  should  be  credited  to  their  societies 
as  is  the  custom  in  some  congregations. 

Concerning  these  questions : 

1.  We  recommend  that,  as  these  and  all  other  special  organizations  are 
but  auxiliary  to  the  Church,  and  as  the  first  allegiance  of  the  members  of  the 
Church  should  be  to  their  Church  rather  than  to  any  special  organization,  the 
Assembly  advise  all  such  organizations  to  make  their  societies  a  means  of  en- 
couraging their  members  to  give  the  heartiest  and  most  intelligent  support  to 
the  Church  and  to  contribute  weekly  through  the  envelopes,  and  that  the  con- 
tributions made  through  such  special  organizations  be  over  and  above  their 
pledges  made  to  the  budget  through  the  Every-Member-Canvass. 

2.  As  it  is  manifestly  undesirable  that  each  society  in  the  Church  should 
have  all  the  gifts  made  by  its  members  through  the  church  envelopes  credited 
to  the  society  to  which  the  member  belongs,  and  as  this  system  prevents  us 
from  seeing  just  what  special  work  our  societies  are  doing,  and  as  this  is  likefy 
to  result  in  confusion  and  inaccuracy,  we  recommend  that  this  practice  be  dis- 
couraged. 

3.  In  regard  to  the  Relationship  of  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  to  the  Sys- 
tematic Beneficence  Committee : 

We  recommend  that,  inasmuch  as  it  is  necessary  for  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee  to  have  before  it  a  full  statement  of  the  benevolent 
work  of  our  Church,  the  Woman's  Auxiliary  be  requested  to  submit  for  infor- 


APPENDIX  139 

mation   reports  of  their  work  to  the   Systematic  Beneficence  Committee  at  its 
stated  meetings. 

VII.    General. 

1.  Concerning  Executive  Committees: 
We  recommend : 

(a)  That  the  four  Executive  Committees  be  composed  of  not  less  than 
fifteen  nor  more  than  twenty  members. 

(b)  That  all  Secretaries,  except  the  Executive  Secretaries,  and  all  superin- 
tendents and  officers  of  the  Executive  Committees  be  elected  by  their  respective 
Committees. 

(c)  That  any  member  of  an  Executive  Committee  who  is  absent  from 
three  consecutive  meetings  without  a  sustained  excuse  shall  be  automatically 
dropped  from  the  Committee;  and  the  vacancies  thus  created  shall  be  filled  by 
a  quorum  of  the  remaining  members  of  the  Executive  Committee. 

(d)  That  in  all  matters  which  involve  no  change  of  policy  or  increase 
of  expenditures  (that  is,  the  regular  routine  work  for  which  precedent  has 
been  established),  the  Executive  Secretary  shall  be  expected  to  proceed  without 
constant  reference  of  such  matters  to  his  Executive  Committee;  but  that  where 
change  of  policy  of  increase  of  expenditure  may  be  involved,  he  shall  act  only 
after  consultation  with  his  Executive  Committee,  and  in  accordance  with  its 
instructions. 

(e)  That  in  its  report  to  the  General  Assembly  each  Executive  Committee 
present:  (i)  a  detailed  statement  of  facts,  tabulated  if  possible;  (2)  such  a 
series  of  recommendations  as  will  outline  the  policies  of  the  Committee  for 
the  coming  year;  and  (3)  the  attendance  of  members  at  the  monthly  meetings 
of  the  Committee. 

(.f)  That  the  Assembly  refer  to  the  four  Executive  Committees,  with  in- 
structions to  consider  and  report  their  findings  to  the  Systematic  Beneficence 
Committee  before  the  next  Assembly,  the  advisability  of  having  a  Secretary,  to 
be  known  as  the  Educational  Secretary  of  Church  Benevolences,  who  shall  serve 
the  four  Executive  Committees  in  educating  the  Church  in  its  benevolent  causes. 

(g)  The  attention  of  the  General  Assembly  is  called  to  the  importance  of 
this  Committee's  securing  more  detailed  information  concerning  the  matters 
covered  by  the  "Reports  on  Statistics  and  Systematic  Beneficence"  made  by  the 
churches  in  their  Presbyteries. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  the  same  information  is  needed  by  the  Committee 
of  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Work,  and  that  this  Committee  is  pre- 
pared to  digest  and  tabulate  this  information,  we  would  recommend  that  the 
Assembly  order  the  Stated  Clerks  of  all  Presbyteries  to  forward  their  sessional 
reports,  with  the  exception  of  the  Narratives,  to  Richmond  before  the  first 
of  May. 

2.  Concerning  Assembly's  Printed  Minutes: 

There  seems  to  be  a  widespread  and  urgent  demand  that  the  statistical 
tables  in  the  Minutes  of  the  General  Assembly  shall  contain  additional  columns 
to  prevent  confusion  and  furnish  needed  information.  We,  therefore,  recom- 
mend; 


140  APPENDIX 

(a)  That  as  the  instructions  of  the  last  General  Assembly  were  over- 
looked, the  Assembly  again  order  that  the  names  of  the  Presbyteries  be  printed 
at  the  top  of  the  statistical  tables. 

(b)  That  the  column  now  headed  Orphan's  Homes  be  changed  to  read 
Educational  Institutions  and  Orphanages,  and  that  all  monies  sent  directly  to 
such  institutions  be  listed  in  this  column. 

(c)  That  the  column  headed  Miscellaneous  be  transferred  so  as  to  be- 
come the  last  in  the  list  of  Benevolent  Contributions. 

(d)  That  a  column  be  included  labelled  Home  Missions,  divided  into  four 
columns,  labelled  Asembly,  Synodical,  Presbyterial,  Congregational. 

(e)  That  a  double  column  be  added  showing  loss  in  membership  in  each 
church  by  death  or  removal. 

(f)  That  a  column  be  added  showing  non-resident  members  of  each  church. 

(g)  That  an  alphabetical  list  of  churches  be  added  to  the  statistical  tables 
in  the  Minutes  of  the  Assembly. 

(h)  That  a  general  summary  by  Presbyteries  of  the  statistical  reports 
of  Women's  Societies  be  printed  in  the  Minutes  of  the  Assembly. 

3.     Concerning  the  Assembly's  Financial  Plan: 

At  present  the  amounts  authorized  by  the  Assembly  are  announced  after  the 
Presbyteries  have  acted,  and  the  churches  have  projected  their  plans  and  com- 
pleted their  canvass  for  the  year. 

In  view  of  this,  we  recommend : 

(a)  That  the  estimates  authorized  by  this  Assembly  apply  to  the  year 
1915-16  as  well  as  for  the  year  1914-15;  and  that  hereafter  the  amounts  au- 
thorized shall  apply  to  the  following  ecclesiastical  year. 

(b)  It  has  been  discovered  that  a  large  number  of  Synods  have  failed 
to  accept  their  quota,  as  named  Dy  the  Assembly,  and  to  distribute  this  among 
their  Presbyteries;  and  that  likewise  in  many  mstances  the  Presbyteries  have 
failed  to  make  any  apportionment  among  their  churches. 

We,  therefore,  recommend : 

1.  That,  unless  otherwise  ordered  by  Presbytery,  the  Systematic  Benefi- 
cence Committee  of  Presbytery  shall  understand  that,  so  far  as  the  Assembly's 
causes  are  concerned,  the  quota  of  a  Presbytery  is  to  be  determined  upon  a 
per  capita  basis  of  the  amounts  announced  by  the  Assembly;  and  that,  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  instructions  of  the  Assembly,  each  Presbytery's  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee,  without  waiting  for  advice  from  its  Synod,  shall 
promptly  distribute  its  quota  among  its  churches  according  to  such  plan  as  in 
their  judgment  shall  correspond  with  the  financial  strength  of  the  churches. 

2.  That  the  Assembly  urge  upon  the  Synods  the  necessity  of  seeing  that 
this  plan  is  carried  out  by  each  of  their  Presbyteries,  and  to  this  end  secure 
reports  from  them  annually. 

(c)  Attention  has  been  called  to  the  fact  that  confusion  arises  from  the 
failure  of  the  Assembly  to  include  Synodical  and  Presbyterial  needs  with  the 
Assembly's  causes. 

In  response  to  this,  we  would  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  Assembly 
has  no  means  of  ascertaining  what  amounts  are  necessary  for  these  needs,  and 
that  they  must,  therefore,  be  left  to  the  judgment  of  Synods  and  Presbyteries. 


APPENDIX  141 

We  would,  therefore,  suggest  that  in  adding  these  amounts  to  the  Assembly's 
quota  confusion  as  to  percentages  may  be  averted  by  the  following  process : 

1.  Ignore  the  Assembly  percentage  and  add  the  Synodical  and  Presbyterial 
needs  to  the  total  amount  called  for  by  the  Assembly. 

2.  Divide  each  of  these  three  amounts  for  Presbyterial,  Synodical  and 
Assembly's  causes  by  the  sum  total  of  these  three  amounts,  thus  securing  the 
respective  percentages. 

3.  After  securing  these  percentages,  the  proportionate  amount  due  the 
Assembly,  Synod  or  Presbytery  in  any  instance  may  be  easily  determined. 

4.  When  the  amount  due  the  Assembly  has  been  determined,  it  may  then 
be  distributed  among  the  causes  of  the  Assembly  according  to  the  percentages 
the  Assembly  has  named. 

(d)  Reports  continue  to  come  that  in  some  instances  harm  has  been  done 
by  the  failure  of  a  church  to  observe  the  Assembly's  instructions  regarding  its 
proper  financial  plan.  Some  have  taken  their  canvass  without  having  fixed  any 
definite  goal  or  having  sufficiently  informed  the  congregation  concerning  the 
needs  of  the  causes ;  others  in  making  their  canvass  have  given  a  pledge  that 
under  no  conditions  will  any  calls  for  additional  sums  be  allowed.  Still  others 
in  making  their  canvass  have  cancelled  all  special  pledges  and  have  confined 
their  eff'orts  to  the  redistribution  of  their  gifts  rather  than  to  an  increase  of 
contributions  to  meet  the  vastly  increased  needs  of  the  causes. 

We,  therefore,  recommend  that  in  making  a  canvass  each  congregation 
take  care  to  give  attention  to  the   following : 

(i)  The  total  minimum  amount  expected  from  the  church  for  each  of  the 
causes  of  the  Assembly,  Synod  and  Presbytery  should  be  clearly  stated  to  the 
congregation.  It  should  be  made  plain  also  that  these  amounts  represent  what 
is  needed  for  the  work  already  projected,  and  do  not  provide  for  much  needed 
enlargement. 

(2)  In  any  instance  where  the  Presbytery  has  failed  to  make  apportion- 
ments, the  officers  may  estimate  their  share  of  the  amounts  called  for  by  the 
Assembly  upon  a  per  capita  basis,  and  may  secure  the  necessary  data  covering 
the  Synodical  and  Presbyterial  needs  by  inquiry  from  the  Stated  Clerks. 

(3)  The  officers  should  continue  their  canvass  until  at  least  the  minimum 
amounts  apportioned  them  in  every  instance  shall  have  been  covered  by  pledges. 

(4)  The  promise  should  never  be  given  that  there  will  be  no  further  calls 
during  the  year,  but,  instead,  the  way  should  be  left  open  for  the  leadership 
of  the  Spirit,  and  the  congregation  should  understand  that  the  pledges  they 
have  made  but  constitute  a  foundation  upon  which  the  church  may  rise  as  God 
shall  give  them  growth  in  grace,  or  reveal  the  need,  to  a  larger  liberality. 

(5)  In  churches  where  special  support  has  been  given  to  special  causes 
care  should  be  taken  in  the  introduction  of  the  Assembly's  plan  lest  this  support 
be  disturbed,  as  otherwise  great  hardships  will  be  occasioned.  The  eff'ort,  there- 
fore, should  be  to  bring  up  the  pledges  to  the  other  causes  which  have  been 
neglected,  rather  than  to  scale  down  the  pledges  in  the  case  of  causes  that  have 
been  receiving  a  generous  support. 

(d)  Questions  continue  to  be  asked  concerning  the  best  use  that  may  be 
made  of  the  months   which  were   formerly   assigned   by  the   Assembly  as  the 


142  APPENDIX 

time  when  special  offerings  should  be  made  for  the  support  of  its  causes.  In 
reply,  we  would  again  suggest : 

First.  That  these  special  months  afford  opportune  seasons  for  educating 
and  stimulating  the  interest  of  the  people  in  the  various  departments  of  the 
Church's  work. 

Second.  That  in  a  number  of  churches,  whose  example  may  well  be  fol- 
lowed:  (i)  an  opportunity  is  given  by  plate  collection  or  the  distribution  of 
extra  envelopes  for  special  free-will  offerings  to  the  cause  of  the  month;  (2) 
these  offerings  are  above  all  pledges  made  through  the  budget,  and  are,  there- 
fore, kept  separate  on  the  books  of  the  treasurer  from  all  monies  contributed 
to  the  budget. 

Third.  We  recommend  that  an  Every-Member-Canvass  be  taken  in  March, 
and  that  the  habit  of  depending  solely  upon  collections  in  these  months  to  obtain 
funds  for  the  support  of  the  various  causes  be  again  strongly  discouraged. 

VIII.     Percentages  and  Apportionments. 

1.  We  recomrqend  that  the  following  percentages  apply  to  any  amount  to 
be  distributed  among  the  Assembly's  causes : 

Foreign  Missions  55% 

Assembly  Home  Missions  "2:7% 

Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief 14% 

Sunday  School  Work  and  Publication  3% 

Bible  Cause  1% 

2.  That  the  following  amounts  be  named  as  the  minimum  for  each  of  the 
Assembly's  causes : 

Foreign  Missions    $  678,333.33—  55% 

Assembly  Home  Missions   333,000.00—  27% 

Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief 172,666.67 —  14% 

Sunday  School  Work  and  Publication 37,000.00—    3% 

Bible   Cause    12,333.33—     \% 


$1,233,333-33—100% 

3.  We  would  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  and  of  the  whole  Church 
to  the  fact  that  these  amounts  are  merely  what  are  essential  to  the  bare  exist- 
ence of  the  work  as  already  projected.  For  progress  and  development  the  fol- 
lowing amounts  are  now  demanded  : 

Foreign  Missions   $1,000,000.00 

Assembly  Home  Missions  471,250.00 

Christian  Education  and  Ministerial  Relief  328,245.00

X.    Conclusion. 

1.  Expiration  of  Term^. —  (a)  The  first  term  of  the  following  members  of 
the  Systematic  Beneficence  Committee  expire  with  this  meeting  of  the  Assembly : 
Principals — James  I.  Vance,  Tennessee;  Trigg  A.  M.  Thomas,  Missouri;  W.  S. 
Currell,  Virginia;  A.  J,  A.  Alexander,  Kentucky.  Alternates — E.  F.  Abbott, 
Missouri;  A.  A.  Little,  Georgia;  J.  Adair  Lyons,  Louisiana;  C.  F.  Huhlein, 
Kentucky, 

(b)  The  second  term  of  the  following  expire.  These  are  not  subject  to 
re-election :  Principals — A.  M.  Scales,  North  Carolina ;  Richard  Orme  Flinn, 
Georgia;  W.  T.  Hardie,  Louisiana.  Alternates — L.  E,  McNair,  Tennessee; 
James  Lewis  Howe,  Virginia;  W.  J.  Martin,  North  Carolina. 

2.  We  recommend  that  the  Assembly  appropriate  the  sum  of  $500.00,  or 
so  much  thereof  as  may  be  needed,  for  such  expenses  of  the  Systematic 
Beneficence  Committee  as  may  be  in  addition  to  the  expense  of  its  members  in 
attending  its  meetings. 

3.  Inasmuch  as  the  Rev.  Richard  Orme  Flinn,  D..  D.,  retires  from  the 
Committee  with  this  meeting,  and  is  not  eligible  for  re-election  by  reason  of 
the  fact  that  he  has  served  two  successive  terms,  we  would  place  upon  record 
our  profound  appreciation  of  his  services  as  Secretary, 

For  the  four  years  of  the  Committee's  life  he  has  served  in  this  capacity; 
and  to  his  able  and  laborious  work  is  due  much  of  what  has  thus  far  been 
accomplished. 

He  has  been  tireless  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties,  and  has  looked  after 
the  minutest  details  with  such  care  and  fidelity  that  the  work  of  the  Committee 


146    "  APPENDIX 

has  not  only  been  facilitated,  but  maintained  along  the  lines   forecast  by  the 
Assembly. 

Retiring  from  his  office,  he  has  prepared  a  Digest  of  the  Committee,  which 
will  be  found  invaluable  for  future  use. 

Respectfully  submitted  by  the  Committee, 
James  I.  Vance,  Chairman. 
Richard  Orme  Flinn,  Secretary. 


IX.    THEOLOGICAL  SEMINARIES, 
r.    Annual  Report  of  Union  Theological  Seminary. 
The  Board  of  Directors  and  Trustees  of  Union  Theological   Seminary  in 
Virginia  would  respectfully  report  to  the  General  Assembly : 

1.  That  one  hundred  students  have  been  enrolled  during  the  session,  and 
that  of  these  eighty-six  are  college  graduates,  eleven  have  taken  college  courses 
in  part,  but  without  degrees,  and  three  have  had  no  college  course.  That,  in 
addition  to  their  diligent  and  successful  work  on  the  curriculum,  the  students 
have  conducted  among  themselves  nine  Mission  Study  Classes  and  have  con- 
tinued the  active,  well  organized  and  fruitful  mission  work  which  they  have 
for  so  many  years  prosecuted  in  the  destitute  districts  of  Richmond  and 
vicinity. 

2.  That  the  Seminary  records  with  a  profound  sense  of  loss  the  death  of 
Rev.  Dr.  G.  B.  Strickler,  Professor  of  Systematic  Theology. 

3.  That  Rev.  Dr.  T.  C.  Johnson  has  been  transferred  to  the  Chair  of 
Systematic  Theology  and  Rev.  Dr.  Walter  L.  Lingle  to  the  Chair  of  Church 
History,  and  that  Rev.  Eugene  Craighead  Caldwell,  D.  D.,  has  been  elected 
McCormick  Professor  of  Hebrew  and  the  Interpretation  of  the  Old  Testament; 
and  that  during  the  session  just  closing  the  faculty  has  had  the  valuable  as- 
sistance of  Rev.  Dr.  Russell  Cecil  and  of  Mr.  Benjamin  Rice  Lacy,  Jr.,  the 
Moses  D.  Hoge  Fellow,  in  the  conduct  of  the  work  in  the  Department  of 
Church  History. 

4.  That  the  Seminary  enjoyed  the  benefit  during  this  session  of  two 
series  of  lectures  on  the  James  Sprunt  Foundation,  one  in  October  by  Sir  Wil- 
liam M.  Ramsay,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  D.  C.  L.,  of  Edinburgh,  on  "The  Bearing  of 
Recent  Discovery  on  the  Trustworthiness  of  the  New  Testament,"  and  a  second 
in  April  by  Rev.  Prof.  James  Stalker,  D.  D.,  of  Aberdeen,  on  "Religious 
Psychology."  Both  series  of  lectures  are  to  be  published  under  the  imprimatur 
of  the  Seminary,  and  will  be  valuable  permanent  contributions  to  our  Christian 
literature. 

5.  That  Prof.  George  M.  Sleeth,  whose  remarkable  work  last  year  as  a 
teacher  of  public  speaking  introduced  a  new  era  in  this  important  department, 
gave  similarly  full  and  thorough  courses  to  all  three  of  the  classes  this  session, 
and  with  the  same  gratifying  results. 

6.  That  at  the  request  of  the  Synod  of  Virginia  and  of  the  representatives 
of  the  three  Presbyteries  chiefly  concerned,  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  taken 
steps  to  have  the  proposed  Synod  of  West  Virginia  given  an  equitable  repre- 
sentation on  the  Board  and  a  suitable  share  in  the  ownership  of  the  institution. 

7.  That  the  Seminary  has  received  during  the  year  a  number  of  timely 
and  generous  donations  to  its  funds : 


APPENDIX  147 

A  friend  in  Atlanta  has  presented  to  the  Board  of  Trustees  a  fund  of 
$i,6(X.oo,  to  be  known  as  the  G.  B.  Strickler  Fund,  and  to  be  used  for  making 
temporary  loans  to  students  needing  aid. 

Certain  friends  of  the  Seminary  in  Richmond  have  given  to  the  Trustees 
$15,000.00  for  the  purpose  of  providing  a  suitable  salary  for  a  Proctor  and 
Registrar  during  a  specified  period  of  years. 

Another  friend  of  the  institution,  whose  name  is  withheld  by  request,  has 
given  to  the  Trustees  as  an  addition  to  the  Endowment  Funds  the  sum  of 
$50,000.00. 

The  Board  records  its  profound  gratitude  for  all  these  proofs  of  the  fact 
that  the  Semmary  is  more  strongly  intrenched  than  ever  in  the  confidence  and 
affection  of  our  Christian  people.

2.    Report  of  Columbia  Seminary. 

The  Directors  of  Columbia  Theological  Seminary  would  report  to  the 
General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  that  the 
continuing  favor  of  the  God  of  Truth  has  rested  upon  this  institution  during 
the  past  year. 

The  number  of  students  is  twenty-nine,  of  whom  seven  are  in  the  Junior 
Class,  ten  in  the  Middle  Class,  and  three  are  Seniors,  and  nine  are  special 
students. 

Of  these  Messrs.  C.  R.  Bailey  and  John  R.  Hay  have  received  diplomas 
as  Bachelor  of  Divinity,  and  the  following  were  given  certificates  of  efficiency: 

Messrs.  W.  L.  Latham,  W.  S.  Harden  and  W.  S.  Epperson. 

The  faculty  consists  of  seven  professors  and  instructors,  who  have  been 
faithful  and  zealous  in  the  discharge  of  their  duties. 

The  Rev.  James  O.  Reavis,  D.  D.,  has  been  elected  to  the  Chair  of  English 
B'ble,  Pastoral  Theology  and  Sacred  Rhetoric. 

The  library  consists  of  25,000  volumes,  most  of  them  being  of  rare  value. 

The  Smyth  Lectures  for  the  year  1914  were  delivered  by  the  Rev.  R.  A. 
Webb,  D.  D.,  on  the  subject  of  the  Christian  Hope;  and  will  be  in  book  form. 

The  endowment  amounts  to  the  sum  of  $249,000,  all  of  which  is  safely  and 
profitably  invested.  Respectfully  submitted, 

W.  J.  McKay,  President. 
W.  H.  TowNSEND,  Secretary. 


3.     Report  of  the  Divinity  School  of  the  Southwestern 
Presbyterian  University. 

The  Executive  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  Southwestern 
Presbyterian  University  would  respectfully  make  to  the  General  Assembly  the 
following  report  of  the  Divinity  School  of  the  University: 

Since  the  University  Board  of  Directors  does  not  hold  its  annual  meeting 
until  June,  this  report  is  made  every  year  by  the  Executive  Committee. 

Character. — The  organization  of  the  Southwestern  Presbyterian  University 
is  unique,  in  that  it  comprises  in  one  place,  under  one  board  of  directors,  with 
one  faculty  and  one  student  body,  an  undergraduate  college  and  a  theological 
seminary,  distinct  only  in  courses  of  study.  The  college  courses  lead  to  the 
degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of  Science  in  four  years,  and  Master 
of  Arts  in  five  years ;  while  a  college  course  in  three  years,  sharply  restricted 
to  the  most  suitable  studies,  followed  by  the  full  two  years'  course  of  the 
Divinity  School,  leads  to  the  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Arts  and  Bachelor  of 
Divinity,  conferred  together  at  the  completion  of  the  full  five  years'  course. 

Peculiar  Advantages. — The  unique  combination  of  college  and  seminary  in 
the  University  makes  possible  the  excellent  joint  course  of  A.  B.  and  B.  D.,  in 
accordance  with  the  present  almost  universal  practice  of  universities  in  other 
professional  degree  work,  while  the  more  rigid  requirements  of  this  course 
give  it  a  greater  specific  educational  value.  This  combination  affords  also  the 
f  llowing  advantages : 

1.  The  English  Bible  course  is  not  repeated  in  the  Divinity  School  for 
students  who  have  already  had  it  in  the  college. 

2.  Students  mistaught  in   Philosophy,  or  deficient  in  Greek  or  other  col- 


APPENDIX  149 

lege  work,  may  easily  make  up  these  deficiencies,  together  with  their  divinity 
course.  The  institution  thus  meets  especially  well  the  needs  of  presbyterial 
extraordinary  cases  also. 

3.  The  completion  of  the  English  Bible  course  in  the  college,  and  the 
longer  session,  make  it  possible  to  offer  a  theological  course  in  two  years 
equivalent  to  the  usual  course  of  three  shorter  sessions.  This  constitutes  a 
distinct  financial  saving  to  the  student  and  to  the  beneficiary  funds  of  the 
Church. 

4.  Fewer  professors  are  required  to  do  the  work  with  only  two  classes 
in  the  seminary  work  instead  of  three  in  each  course,  as  when  three  years  are 
required. 

5.  The  association  of  the  divinity  students  with  those  in  college  classes 
has  a  wholesome  and  broadening  influence  on  both,  and  forms  ties  often  of 
great  practical  value  to  the  minister  in  after  life.  The  strict  discipline  and 
order  of  the  college  work  extends  to  the  theological  classes  as  well,  and  with 
great  benefit  to  the  students. 

6.  Students  who  are  not  candidates  for  the  ministry,  but  seek  training 
for  mission  fields  or  Sabbath  School  work,  or  who  desire  a  better  knowledge 
of  the  Bible,  may  select  courses  for  one  or  two  years,  by  which  to  prepare 
themselves  for  their  work. 

Board  of  Directors. — President — William  Didwiddie,  A.  M.,  LL.  D.,  Chan- 
cellor. 

Synod  of  Alabama — Rev.  J.  W.  Marshall,  Montgomery;  Rev.  J.  S.  Foster, 
D.  D.,  Birmingham ;  Mr.  F.  E.  Gary,  Selma,  alternate.

Social  Ethics. 

Rev.  Robert  Price,  D.  D. — Professor  Emeritus  of  Ecclesiastical  History. 

Rev.  Robert  Edwin  Fulton,  A.  M.,  D.  D. — Ecclesiastical  History  and  English

Rev.  Angus  Robertson  Shaw,  D.  D. — Systematic  and  Practical  Theology,  and 
English  Bible. 

Thomas  Oakley  Deaderick,  A.  M. — Voice  Culture. 

The  faculty  has  been  strengthened  by  the  accession  of  Rev.  A.  R.  Shaw, 
D.  D.,  whose  excellent  work  in  the  Chair  of  Theology  is  giving  great  satisfaction 
to  students,  faculty,  directors  and  friends. 

A  course  in  Hymnology,  by  Dr.  Sommerville,  was  substituted  for  Voice 
Culture  this  year. 

The  Students. — The  enrollment  is  nineteen,  which  has  been  exceeded  only 
once  in  the  last  fourteen  years.  The  full  college  preparation  of  the  regular 
students  in  the  Divinity  School  is  noteworthy,  all  but  two  being  applicants  for 


ISO  APPENDIX 

both  college  and  divinity  degrees.  There  are  six  who  expect  to  complete  the 
course  in  June,  namely :  Roy  DeWitt  Bachman,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Nashville ; 
Otto  William  Buschgen,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Mobile ;  Charles  Albert  Harper, 
of  the  Presbytery  of  Memphis ;  Solon  Thomas  Hill,  of  the  Presbytery  of 
Memphis ;  Samuel  Harrison  Hooper,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Nashville ;  Pressley 
Clinton  Martin,  of  the  Presbytery  of  Meridian ;  all  with  the  B.  D.  degree  ex- 
cept Mr.  Harper  and  Mr.  Hooper,  who  have,  however,  had  four  years  of  college 
work,  though  not  completing  the  degree  requirements  and  the  full  work  of 
the  Divinity  School. 

Four  of  the  students  are  volunteers  for  the  foreign  work. 

It  should  be  remembered  that,  while  this  two-year  course  contains  as  many 
working  hours  as  the  usual  three-year  course  of  shorter  sessions,  the  total 
enrollment  of  students  is  only  about  two  thirds  of  what  it  would  be  if  the 
students  remained  for  a  third  year. 

The  Work. — The  course  of  study  is  shown  by  the  catalogue  herewith  filed; 
but  especial  attention  is  called  to  the  courses  in  the  English  Bible,  Christian 
Social  Ethics,  and  Biblical  Theology;  the  aim  of  the  whole  course  being  prac- 
tical training  for  practical  preachers  of  the  Word  and  workers  in  the  vineyard. 
Actual  experience  has  abundantly  justified  the  contents  and  omissions  of  the 
course  of  study. 

In  addition  to  the  work  of  the  curriculum,  there  have  been  voluntary  mis- 
sion study  classes  and  prayer  meetings  in  the  halls ;  and  the  students  preach 
and  teach  in  the  various  missions,  Negro  Sunday  Schools,  and  college  prayer 
meetings  in  and  about  Clarksville,  at  the  jail,  and  to  some  extent  have  supplied 
vacant  pulpits  in  nearby  towns. 

Each  hour  of  class  room  instruction  is  begun  with  prayer. 

The  university  library  contains  over  15,000  bound  volumes  and  7,000  vol- 
umes of  pamphlets  and  magazines  unbound.  Current  periodicals  are  accessible 
in  the  reading  room. 

New  Plans. — i.  The  Board  of  Directors  has  taken  action  looking  to  the 
increase  of  the  endowment  and  of  the  enrollment  and  to  a  wider  publicity  and 
a  more  intimate  contact  with  the  University's  own  territory. 

2.  Funds  have  been  provided  for  a  new  dining  hall,  large  enough  to  seat 
all  the  students  the  dormitories  will  accommodate,  and  with  a  second-story 
addition  to  the  present  dormitory  facilities.  This  addition  is  now  in  process 
of  erection. 

3.  The  Board  has  formally  requested  the  controlling  Synods  to  increase 
the  number  of  directors  from  two  to  three  from  each  Synod,  each  to  serve  for 
a  term  of  three  years. 

4.  The  Alumni,  the  Synods,  the  citizens  of  the  community,  the  faculty, 
and  the  students  have  been  unusually  aroused  during  the  session  in  behalf  of 
the  University,  and  there  has  resulted  a  widespread  spirit  of  co-operation  and 
helpfulness  in  regard  to  the  future.  The  Alumni  have  formed  associations  in 
each  Synod,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  has  appointed  a  Committee  on  the 
University,  and  all  have  been  unusually  active  in  their  efforts. 

5.  The  University  Bulletin,  a  new  venture,  meeting  with  marked  success 
and  rendering  a  long-needed  and  valuable  service,  is  published  bi-monthly  and 
contains  news  of  the  Divinity  School,  one  whole  issue  and  several  articles  having 
been  devoted  especially  to  the  Divinity  School  during  the  present  session. 


APPENDIX  151 

Needs, — i.     Funds  for  two  additional  chairs,   for  lecture  courses,  for  im- 
proved equipment,  and  for  scholarships. 

2.  Freedom  from  competition,  open  or  otherwise,  for  the  possession  and 
the  patronage  of  the  Synods  controlling  no  other  college  or  seminary  but  this. 
Founded  in  1885 ;  moulded  by  Dr.  J.  B.  Shearer,  Dr.  J.  N.  Waddell,  Dr.  Robert 
Price,  Dr.  J.  R.  Wilson  (father  of  President  Woodrow  Wilson),  Dr.  W.  A, 
Alexander,  Dr.  R.  A,  Webb,  and  others ;  giving  to  the  Southern  Presbyterian 
Church  many  of  her  soundest,  most  loyal  and  most  useful  ministers,  and  still 
adding  to  this  supply;  one  great  need  the  University  feels  today  is  to  be  left 
free  to  continue  this  service  to  her  own  Synods. 
By  order  of  the  Executive  Committee.

Upon  recommendation  of  the  faculty,  the  Board  has  authorized  the  intro- 
duction into  the  curriculum  of  additional  courses  of  study  and  the  expansion  of 
others.    The  new  courses  are  in  Christian  Sociology  and  in  Christian  Duties  or 


154  APPENDIX 

Ethics.  The  courses  in  Missions  and  in  Religious  Education  and  the  Sunday 
School  will  be  extended  in  scope,  and  the  course  in  Biblical  Theology,  which  has 
always  been  an  integral  part  of  the  Chair  ot  English  Bible  and  Biblical  Theology, 
will  be  enlarged.  The  Church  Polity  will  be  made  more  practical  and  effective 
by  organizing  the  students  in  such  a  way  as  to  give  them  training  in  the 
methods  of  conducting  the  business  of  the  various  Church  courts,  from  the 
Session  to  the  General  Assembly. 

The  Executive  Committee  was  authorized  to  appoint  one  or  more  lecturers, 
should  this  be  found  desirable.  Candidates  for  the  full  diploma  of  the  Seminary 
will  be  allowed  election  between  the  third  year's  studies  in  Old  Testament 
Exegesis  or  New  Testament  Exegesis  and  two  or  more  of  the  new  or  enlarged 
courses  of  study. 

VII.      NEEDS. 

The  Seminary  is  in  urgent  need  of  additions  to  its  funds,  both  for  endow- 
ment and  scholarship.  The  steady  growth  of  the  institution  is  attended  with 
increasing  expense.  The  amount  of  $25,000  toward  $100,000,  hitherto  reported 
to  the  Assembly,  has  been  increased  by  the  generous  friends  of  the  institution  to 
$50,000,  on  condition  of  securing  $50,000  additional  by  December  31,  1915.  The 
Board  took  steps  for  beginning  promptly  a  systematic  campaign,  not  only  to 
secure  this  amount,  but  if  possible  the  sum  of  $200,000. 

E.  W.  C.  Humphrey,  Secretary.

I.  That  renewed  and  persistent  efforts  be  made  to  increase  the  Loan  and 
Scholarship  Funds  of  the  various  institutions  and  of  the  Assembly.  To  this 
end  we  suggest  that  our  pastors  and  sessions  be  requested  to  make  free  use  of 
the  literature  on  this  work  issued  by  the  Executive  Committee  of  Christian 
Education,  and  in  private  and  from  the  pulpit  commend  this  cause  to  our 
people. 

II.  That  aid  to  students  in  all  cases,  so  far  as  possible,  be  made  on  the 
basis  of  a  loan  rather  than  of  a  grant. 

III.  That  in  the  case  of  candidates  for  the  ministry  the  General  Assembly 
adopt  as  its  sole  plan  the  wise  policy  adopted  in  1907  of  furnishing  aid  to 
candidates  on  the  basis  of  a  loan,  to  be  repaid  either  in  money  or  in  service 
to  the  Church. 

IV.  That  the  fact  be  made  clear  to  students  at  the  very  beginning  of  their 
receiving  aid  that  unless  they  maintain  a  satisfactory  standard  of  character, 
diligence  and  scholarship  all  aid  will  be  withdrawn. 

Ad-Interim  Committee. — We  also  recommend  that  this  General  Assembly 
appoint  an  Ad-Interim  Committee  to  continue  the  study  of  the  entire  educa- 
tional work  and  problems  of  our  Church.

XI.    REPORT  OF  AD-INTERIM  COMMITTEE  ON  CHRISTIAN  FAITH 
AND  SOCIAL  SERVICE. 

The  report  of  the  Joint  Committee  appointed  to  prepare  a  United  Declara- 
tion on  Christian  Faith  and  Social  Service  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States,  the  General  Assembly  of  the  United 
Presbyterian  Church  of  North  America,  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.,  the  Associate  Reformed  Presbyterian  Synod  of 
the  South. 

The  Joint  Committee  would  respectfully  submit  the  following  report : 

We  were  appointed  in  response  to  a  proposal  that  our  four  Presbyterian 
Churches  should  prepare  and  publish  a  united  declaration  of  their  common  faith 
in  the  great  truths  of  the  gospel  in  relation  to  what  has  come  to  be  known  as 
Social  Service.  We  understand  from  the  action  taken  by  the  respective  hodies 
which  appointed  us  that  our  Churches  call  for  such  a  declaration  as  will  make 
clear  to  the  world  the  true  place  of  Social  Service  in  Christian  life  and  work. 
Our  United  Declaration. 

In  preparing  this  United  Declaration,  we  use  the  words: 

"Christian  Faith"  to  designate  the  teachings  of  the  Holy  Scriptures,  the 
essential  doctrines  of  which  are  held  in  common  by  all  Evangelical  Churches 
and  are  embodied  in  the  ecumenical  creeds  of  Christendom. 

"Church"  to  designate  an  organized  body  instituted  by  Christ  and  exercising 
her  corporate  functions  through  her  courts  and  officers. 

"Social  Service"  to  designate  the  practice  of  the  principles  set  forth  in 
God's  holy  law  which  regulate  the  relations  by  which  men  are  bound  together 
in  the  social  ord^r,  this  practice  being  a  part  of  those  good  works  of  which  our 
Confession  of  Faith  teaches  that  they  are  only  such  as  God  hath  commanded 
in  His  Holy  Word,  and  are  done  in  obedience  to  God's  command,  and  are  the 
fruits  and  evidence  of  a  lively  faith,  and  at  best  cannot  merit  pardon  of  sin  or 
eternal  life  at  the  hand  of  God. 

Accordingly,  our  Churches  unite  in  saying: 

I. 

We  believe  that  man's  chief  end  is  to  glorify  God  and  to  enjoy  Him  forever, 
and  that  the  first  duty  of  all  men  is  to  seek  God,  to  repent  of  sin,  to  accept  the 
ofifer  of  salvation  through  Jesus  Christ,  and  to  dedicate  their  lives  unreservedly 
to  His  service. 

II. 

We  believe  that,  from  the  creation  of  man,  God  has  ordained  for  us  those 
social  relationships  which  are  to  His  glory  and  to  the  happiness  and  usefulness 
of  mankind,  and  that  in  every  age  He  has  made  known  His  will  that  he  that 
loveth  God  must  love  his  brother  also. 

III. 

We  believe  that  the  moral  principles  upon  which  all  social  relations  are 
based  were  written  in  the  heart  of  man  when  he  was  made  in  the  image  of 
God,  that  these  principles  have  been  obscured  by  sin  and  are  revealed  anew  in 
the  Holy  Scriptures.  Inasmuch  as  all  evils,  social  and  individual,  have  their 
source  in  human  sin  and  selfishness,  they  can  be  remedied  only  by  the  divinely 
appointed  plan  for  salvation  from  sin,  and  through  the  divinely  given  motive 


I62  APPENDIX 

which  is  the  love  begotten  in  our  hearts  through  God's  great  love  for  us  in 
the  gift  of  His  Son. 

IV. 

We  believe  that  the  Church,  holding  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ,  is  not 
only  the  appointed  means  to  salvation  from  eternal  death,  but  that,  with  the  State 
and  family,  she  has  a  distinctive  work  to  do  in  bettering  the  social  relations 
of  men  in  this  present  world.  The  power  given  to  the  Church  is  spiritual, 
ministerial  and  declarative,  and  her  function,  through  the  Word  and  the  Holy 
Spirit,  is  to  inculcate  and  apply  those  principles  and  to  quicken  those  motives 
which  are  essential  to  all  true  and  lasting  reform. 

V. 

We  believe  that  the  social  conditions  of  our  day  require  emphasis  upon  the 
divine  message  for  the  following  reasons : 

1.  The  tremendous  advance  in  our  time  of  scientific  discovery  and  inven- 
tion and  of  commercial,  industrial  and  civic  enterprises  by  which  men  have  been 
brought  into  closer  relations  of  reciprocal  dependence  and  service  towards  one 
another  as  individuals  and  towards  society  as  an  organized  body. 

2.  The  vast  increase  of  wealth,  its  unequal  and,  often,  unjust  distribution, 
and  the  consequent  increase  of  the  power  of  the  privileged  few  to  exploit  their 
fellowmen  for  private  and  selfish  ends. 

3.  The  development  of  great  business  corporations  which  discharge  many 
of  the  functions  once  belonging  to  individuals,  and  as  a  result  of  this  the 
weakening  of  the  sense  of  individual  responsibility  for  social  wrongs. 

4.  The  fostering  or  protection  of  vice  as  an  instrument  to  private  gain  or 
to  selfish  ambition  for  place  and  power. 

5.  The  submergence  of  large  classes  in  ignorance  and  poverty,  so  that  the 
difficulty  of  reaching  them  with  the  message  of  Christ  is  greatly  increased. 

These  reasons  require  that  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ,  which  takes  its  stand 
as  Christ  did  against  the  sins  of  social  injustice  and  tyranny,  as  well  as  against 
other  forms  of  sin,  should  emphasize : 

1.  The  duty  of  man  towards  his  fellowmen  as  individuals,  and  towards 
society,  with  reference  to  the  life  that  now  is  as  well  as  to  life  which  is  to  come. 

2.  The  duty  of  men  to  put  into  practice  the  Christian  principles  of  Love, 
Justice,  and  Truth  in  all  their  social  relations,  economic,  industrial  or  political ; 
as  officials  or  citizens  of  the  State ;  as  employers  and  employees ;  as  capitalists 
and  laborers ;  as  stockholders  or  officers  in  corporations,  and  in  all  similar 
relationships. 

3.  The  responsibility  of  men  both  for  the  manner  in  which  they  acquire 
positions,  possessions  and  power  in  their  social  relations,  and  for  the  manner  in 
which,  as  stewards  of  God,  they  use  these,  lest,  in  the  great  day  of  judgment, 
they  be  found  unfaithful. 

4.  The  responsibility  of  every  individual,  not  only  for  those  social  wrongs 
to  which  he  may  be  a  contributing  cause,  but  for  those  which,  by  his  prayers 
and  efforts,  he  could  assist  in  abolishing. 

5.  The  duty  of  Christian  citizens  to  observe  those  principles  of  our  religion 
which  require  that  every  man  do  his  full  share  of  the  world's  work;  which 
oppose  injustice  and  tyranny,  even  when  these  are  entrenched  in  the  usages  of 
our  civilization;  which  lead  men  to  endeavor  to  maintain  themselves  in  a  self- 


APPENDIX  163 

respecting,  God-fearing  way,  this  self-maintenance  being  understood  to  include  a 
fair  return  for  labor,  sufficient  to  support  the  man  and  his  family  against 
illness  and  old  age,  and  relief  from  labor  on  one  day  in  seven ;  which  lead  to 
movements  to  secure  childhood  against  forced  labor,  and  woman  against  condi- 
tions degrading  womanhood. 

6.  The  duty  of  every  man  to  accept  Jesus  Christ  and  obey  His  teachings 
as  the  only  cure  for  the  injustice,  tyranny  and  sins  now  looming  so  large  upon 
Ithe  world's  horizon, 

VI. 

We  believe  that,  inasmuch  as  many  of  these  evils  are  rooted  in  the  past  and 
have  grown  with  the  development  of  civilization,  they  can  be  cured  only  by 
concerted  and  organized  effort  on  the  part  of  all  good  citizens.  Our  Churches, 
therefore,  should  always  encourage  voluntary  organizations  for  the  betterment 
of  social  conditions  and  urge  their  members  to  co-operate  in  them,  leaving  pri- 
vate judgment  to  decide  what  means  or  methods,  or  what  organizations,  are 
best  adapted  to  the  promotion  of  these  desirable  ends. 

Your  Joint  Committee  would  respectfully  recommend  to  the  General  Assem- 
blies and  to  the  Synod  which  appointed  that : 

1.  This  report  be  adopted. 

2.  This  report  be  printed  by  the  Boards  of  Publication  of  our  Churches, 
or  by  one  of  these  Boards  acting  for  the  others,  in  the  number  of  at  least  ten 
thousand  copies  for  distribution. 

3.  This  report  be  transmitted  to  the  supreme  judicatories  of  our  sister 
Churches  in  the  Federal  Council  for  their  consideration  by  the  Clerk  of  this 
Committee,  Rev.  D.  F.  McGill,  Ben  Avon,  Pa. 

4.  Our  Churches  cordially  recognize  and  encourage  the  Federal  Council 
as  affording  a  common  ground  where  all  who  love  and  serve  our  Lord  ,5esus 
Christ  may  meet  for  conference  and  co-operation  in  the  vast  and  holy  enter- 
prise of  Christian  Social  Service,  and,  to  the  end  that  these  conferences  may 
continue  to  be  truly  Christian  and  this  co-operation  really  effective,  the  repre- 
sentatives of  our  Churches  in  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Federal  Council 
be  directed  to  endeavor  at  all  times  to  have  the  Federal  Council  distinctly  recog- 
nize the  great  truths  of  the  Christian  faith  held  in  common  by  the  Evangelical 
Churches,  and  thus  avoid  and  allay  misunderstandings.  Further,  that  these 
representatives  be  directed  to  report  to  the  subsequent  Assemblies  the  result 
of  their  endeavors. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

I,  the  undersigned,  do  hereby  certify  that  the  accompanying  is  a  true  and 
correct  copy  of  the  report  of  the  Joint  Committee,  appointed  to  prepare  a 
United  Declaration  on  Christian  Faith  and  Social  Service  by  the  General  As- 
semblies of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.,  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  U.  S.  A.,  the  United  Presbyterian  Church  of  N.  A.,  and  the  Associate  Re-

To  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States : 

Dear  Brethren  : — The  Council  of  the  Reformed  Churches  in  America 
respectfully  reports  to  its  constituent  Churches,  for  the  year  ending  April  30,

The  constituent  Churches  in  the  Council  are  the  same  as  heretofore  reported, 
and  their  names  appear  later  in  this  report. 

1.  Meeting. — The  Council  held  its  regular  biennial  session  in  the  Second 
United  Presbyterian  Church,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  on  March  17  and  18,  1914. 
There  were  present  representatives  from  all  the  Churches,  in  number  42,  and,

Churches  gave  a  dinner  to  the  Council  on  the  evening  of  March  17  at  the 
Hotel  Walton.  Admirable  provisions  for  the  business  sessions  were  made  by 
the  pastor  and  Session  of  the  Second  United  Presbyterian  Church.  For  all 
these  courtesies  appropriate  acknowledgment  was  made. 

3.  Necrology. — During  the  past  ecclesiastical  year  the  following  members 
departed  this  life :  The  Rev.  Walter  A.  Brooks,  D.  D.,  of  the  Presbyterian 
Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.,  who  was  the  Permanent  Clerk  of  the  Council ;  the  Rev. 
T.  G.  Boyce,  D.  D.,  of  the  Associate  Reformed  Presbyterian  Synod ;  the  Rev. 
A.  G.  Wallace,  D.  D.,  of  the  United  Presbyterian  Church ;  and  the  Hon.  R.  T. 
Simpson,  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S. 

4.  Officers. — The  President  of  the  Council  during  the  past  two  years  was

APPENDIX  165 

met  with  the  representatives  of  the  Agencies  directly  related  to  the  work  of 
each,  and  the  results  are  stated  under  the  following  heads : 

6.  Foreign  Missions. — The  chief  problem  under  discussion  was  the  need 
of  a  closer  co-operation  in  the  Home  Administration  of  the  Agencies  for  For- 
eign Missions  represented  in  the  Council.  The  following  resolutions  were  ap- 
proved by  Council : 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Committee  on  Foreign  Missions  be  authorized 
through  a  sub-committee,  which  it  may  appoint,  to  collate  the  essential  facts 
regarding  the  foreign  missionary  work  of  the  Presbyterian  and  Reformed 
Churches  represented  in  the  Council,  and  to  inquire  of  the  Agencies  whether,  in 
their  judgment,  there  are  any  ways  in  which  they  can  wisely  co-operate  in  a 
closer  way,  and  to  report  such  recommendations  as  the  Committee  may  deem 
proper  at  the  next  meeting  of  the  Council. 

Resolved,  2.  That  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  be  authorized  to  appoint 
a  Committee  of  seven,  one  from  each  of  the  denominations,  to  gather  this 
information. 

The  Chairman  of  this  Committee  is  the  Rev.  Arthur  J.  Brown,  D.  D., 
Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in 
the  U.  S.  A. 

7.  Home  Missions.— The  Home  Mission  Committee  reported  the  statistics, 
for  the  year  1912-13,  of  the  Churches  composing  the  Council :  Expenditures, 
$3,866,837;  Home  Mission  stations,  5,370;  churches  aided,  5,195;  members  added, 
131,665.  The  subject  of  comity  in  work  was  carefully  considered,  and,  in  order 
to  make  effective  the  principles  of  comity  adopted  at  previous  meetings,  the 
following  resolutions  were  ordered  transmitted  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories  of 
the  constituent  Churches  for  action  : 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Supreme  Judicatories  direct  their  Synods  each  to 
appoint  three  representatives  to  act  with  representatives  of  other  Presbyterian 
and  Reformed  bodies  in  constituting  a  joint  advisory  Committee  of  Comity,  for 
the  purpose  of  effecting  a  fair  exchange  of  churches,  to  discourage  overlapping 
of  Home  Mission  forces,  to  settle  cases  of  friction,  and  promote  other  phases  of 
co-operation  in  Home  Mission  work,  the  joint  advisory  Committee  to  report  to 
each  of  the  appointing  Synods. 

Resolved,  2.  That  in  any  city  of  less  than  100,000,  where  any  Presbyterian  or 
Reformed  Church  is  at  v/ork  among  foreign  people,  no  other  Presbyterian  or 
Reformed  Church  shall  open  a  work  for  the  same  people  in  that  city  until 
other  cities  and  towns,  where  such  work  is  needed,  have  been  occupied. 

Resolved,  3.  That  in  case  of  any  denomination  contemplating  opening  work 
for  foreigners  in  such  cities  already  occupied  by  one  of  the  constituent  Churches 
of  this  Council,  this  matter  shall  be  referred  to  the  Committee  of  Comity,  pro- 
vided for  in  Resolution  No.  i  of  this  report. 

8.  Colored  Work. — The  proceedings  of  the  Permanent  Committee  on  Work 
Among  the  Colored  People,  established  at  the  recommendation  of  the  Council 
and  with  the  consent  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories  of  the  respective  Churches, 
was  duly  organized  at  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  April  25,  1912.  The  officers  elected  were 
Dr.  J.  G.  Snedecor,  of  Tuscaloosa,  Ala.,  Chairman ;  Dr.  J.  Preston  Searle,  of 
New  Brunswick,  N.  J.,  Vice-Chairman;  Dr.  W.  J.  Darby,  of  Evansville,  Ind., 
Secretary-Treasurer.     These  officers,  with  Drs.  Cowan,  Schaeffer  and  McGran- 


i66  APPENDIX 

ahan,  were  constituted  an  Executive  Committee.  Effective  w^ork  has  been  done 
by  this  Committee  upon  the  basis  of  the  platform  adopted  by  it  and  printed  in 
the  Minutes  of  1912.  A  statement  of  the  work  done  among  the  colored  people 
by  the  Churches  since  1864  has  been  published  in  a  pamphlet  of  twenty-two 
pages,  and  the  field  of  operations  has  been  visited  and  special  attention  given 
to  the  educational  interests  of  the  Cumberland  Presbyterian  Church,  Colored. 
The  following  recommendations  are  offered  for  approval  by  the  Supreme 
Judicatories : 

1.  That  the  Executive  Officers  of  the  Council  be  instructed  to  call  the  par- 
ticular attention  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories  to  each  of  the  resolutions 
adopted  as  a  platform  of  co-operative  work  by  the  Permanent  Committee  that 
relate  to  co-operation  by  education,  publication,  Sunday  School  and  other  agen- 
cies of  the  respective  Churches,  and  request  that  specific  direction  be  given  to 
these  agencies  as  to  the  manner  and  extent  of  their  expected  co-operation  with 
the  particular  agencies  that  have  in  charge  the  Home  Mission  and  Freedmen 
operations  of  the  Churches. 

2.  That  the  attitude  assumed  by  the  Permanent  Committee  regarding  insti- 
tutional, industrial,  Sunday  School  and  general  evangelistic  work  in  cities  having 
a  large  colored  population  be  strongly  commended,  and  that  the  Executive 
Committee  be  requested  to  give  emphasis  to  this  feature  of  the  work  in  its 
report  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories,  requesting  that,  so  far  as  funds  may  allow, 
and  without  in  anywise  doing  injury  to  the  established  educational  and  other 
regular  organized  forms  of  work  now  going  on  among  the  colored  people,  these 
proposed  co-operative  methods  in  the  cities  be  prosecuted  as  vigorously  as 
possible. 

3.  In  the  interest  of  more  effective  work  and  of  brotherly  co-operation  among 
the  colored  people  themselves,  we  recommend  that  the  adoption  of  plans  of 
federation  among  themselves  be  encouraged. 

9.  Christian  Education  and  Literature. — The  Council  at  its  meeting  in  1912 
recommended  a  joint  conference  of  publishing  agencies,  which  was  held  April 
22,  1913,  in  the  Witherspoon  Building,  Philadelphia,  Pa.  There  were  present 
the  representatives  of  six  agencies,  including  the  "Publications"  of  the  Canadian 
Presbyterian  Church.  The  matter  of  the  preparation  and  publication  of 
Graded  Lessons  was  considered,  and  a  Committee  was  appointed  of  a  member 
from  each  of  the  agencies  to  confer  as  to  the  best  methods  of  carrying  on  the 
work.  The  Committee  consists  of  Dr.  Alexander  Henry,  Chairman ;  with  Drs, 
R.  D.  Eraser,  R.  W.  Miller,  R.  J.  Miller,  I.  W.  Gowen  and  A.  L.  Phillips.  In 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  April  22-24,  1914,  a  second  conference  was  held  to  consider 
the  whole  subject.  Action  was  also  taken  on  Collaboration  of  Lesson  Material, 
but  nothing  final  has  been  done.  The  Supreme  Judicatories  are  referred  to  the 
Minutes  of  the  Council  for  1914  for  further  particulars. 

The  Conference  of  Educational  Agencies. — The  Council  of  1912  passed  a 
resolution  with  reference  to  the  religious  education  of  the  children  and  youth 
of  our  land,  and  the  distressing  situation  at  which  such  resolution  was  directed 
has  been  intensified,  making  necessary,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Council,  a  complete 
and  more  pointed  restatement  of  the  matters  therein  contained. 

The  following  resolutions  are  submitted  for  action  by  the  Supreme 
Judicatories : 


APPENDIX  167 

Whereas,  It  is  the  teaching  of  the  Word  of  God  that  the  training  of  the 
young  in  the  truths  and  practice  of  religion  is  committed  to  the  Christian 
Church  and  to  the  Christian  parent;  and, 

Whereas,  All  history  teaches  that  this  training  is  never  accomplished  suc- 
cessfully through  any  other  agency;  and, 

Whereas,  Notwithstanding  the  high  character  of  the  body  of  teachers  in 
our  public  schools  and  their  faithful  use  of  every  one  of  their  limited  oppor- 
tunities to  impress  high  ethical  standards  upon  the  minds  entrusted  to  their  care, 
and  even  to  impart  knowledge  of  those  fundamental  religious  truths  which  are 
needed  to  make  ethical  standards  living  and  practical  forces  in  life,  it  is  becom- 
ing increasingly  clear  that  the  primary  scriptural  agencies  of  religious  and 
moral  training  must  be  awakened  to  new  activity  or  roused  from  its  positive 
neglect  of  a  sacred  responsibility,  unless  the  vicious  forces  seeking  to  destroy 
character  in  the  child  and  the  helplessness  of  the  child  unprotected  by  faithful 
religious  instruction  imperil  the  future,  and  at  no  distant  day,  of  both  Church 
and  State,  therefore 

Resolved,  i.  That  this  Council  renew  formally  and  with  increased  urgency 
its  request  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories  for  the  careful  investigation  of  this 
whole  subject,  with  a  view  of  devising  some  methods  of  averting  the  sad 
results  of  present  inefficiency  in  the  teaching  of  morals  and  religion. 

Resolved,  2.  That  we  also  ask  the  Judicatories  to  use  their  utmost  efforts 
to  aid  pastors  in  discharging  their  teaching  responsibility,  in  the  name  of  Him 
who  commissioned  them  each  and  every  one  to  "Feed  my  lambs." 

Resolved,  3.  That  we  ask  these  Judicatories  to  seek  and  initiate  effective 
measures  for  the  restoration  of  the  family  altar,  in  itself  an  educative  agency 
of  measureless  value. 

Resolved,  4,  That  we  ask  the  Judicatories  to  use  their  utmost  influence 
to  impress  upon  Christian  parents  their  vital  relation  to  the  religious  and  moral 
future  of  their  children,  a  relation  in  which  no  substitute,  however  willing  and 
consecrated,  can  adequately  enter. 

Resolved,  5.  That  this  Council  appoint  a  Committee  to  consider,  formulate 
and  report  to  the  Council  plans  for  the  introduction  of  moral  and  religious 
training  in  our  public  schools,  plans  which,  without  violating  any  phase  of  the 
great  and  cherished  principle  of  government  by  which  Church  and  State  are 
separated  in  our  land,  may  yet  be  systematic  and  competent. 

Resolved,  6.  That  the  Council  request  each  of  the  Judicatories  to  appoint 
a  Committee  to  co-operate  with  the  Committee  of  the  Council  both  in  securing 
facts  and  formulating  plans. 

As  to  the  Bible  in  the  Public  Schools,  the  following  is  recommended: 

Wihereas,  The  Word  of  God  is  the  charter  of  the  spiritual  and  civil  rights 
of  man,  as  abundantly  illustrated  in  the  history  and  institutions  of  this  country; 
and, 

Whereas,  Persistent  efforts  are  being  made  to  exclude  the  Bible  from  use 
in  the  public  schools;  therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  That  the  Council  overture  the  Supreme  Judicatories  to  use  every 
proper  means  in  maintaining  the  Word  of  God  as  an  essential  element  in  the 
education  and  training  of  the  youth  of  the  land. 

10.     Permanent     Committees     and     Joint     Conferences. — The     constituent 


i68  APPENDIX 

Churches  authorized  two  years  ago  the  appointment  of  a  Permanent  Committee 
on  Work  Among  Colored  People,  and  a  joint  conference  of  the  publishing 
agencies.  Other  permanent  committees  and  joint  conferences  will  naturally 
need  to  be  appointed,  as  the  co-operative  work  entrusted  to  the  Council  develops 
along  additional  lines.  The  question  of  the  relationship  of  these  bodies  to  the 
Council  needs  to  be  clearly  defined,  and  the  Supreme  Judicatories  are  requested 
to  approve  the  following  resolutions : 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Permanent  Committees  and  Joint  Conferences  on 
the  co-operative  work  of  the  constituent  Churches,  established  on  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  Council,  are  Committees  of  the  Council,  and  are  hereby  directed 
to  report  to  the  Council,  as  well  as  severally  to  the  Boards  and  Agencies  repre- 
sented. 

Resolved,  2.  That  the  Permanent  Committees  be  and  are  hereby  authorized 
and  directed  to  confer  with  the  regular  Committees  of  the  Council,  which  latter 
shall  represent  the  Council  at  the  joint  meetings. 

11.  Finances. — The  report  of  the  Treasurer  for  the  fiscal  year  is  as  follows: 
Receipts,  $755.00;  balance  from  previous  year,  $1,175.78;  total,  $1,930.78.  Ex- 
penditures, $613.16;  balance,  $1,317.62;  total,  $1,930.78. 

12.  The  Schaff  Christian  Unify  Fund. — The  attention  of  the  Supreme 
Judicatories  is  respectfully  requested  to  the  movement  to  honor  the  memory  of 
the  Rev.  Philip  Schaff,  D.  D.,  one  of  the  chief  advocates  in  the  past  of  Church 
Unity.  The  action  of  the  Council  might  be  well  duplicated  by  the  Supreme 
Judicatories  of  the  Churches,  and  is  as  follows : 

Resolved,  That  the  Council  of  the  Reformed  Churches  holding  the  Pres- 
byterian System  learns  with  pleasure  of  the  purpose  to  create  the  Philip  Schaff 
Christian  Unity  Fund  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  closer  co-operation  and 
eventually  union  between  the  Presbyterian  and  Reformed  Churches  in  the 
United  States,  this  Philip  Schaff  Christian  Unity  Fund  to  be  invested  in  the 
Schaff  Memorial  Building,  the  income  to  be  used  for  the  purpose  mentioned, 
and  when  the  organic  union  of  at  least  five  of  the  Presbyterian  and  Reformed 
bodies  has  been  effected,  the  principal  to  be  placed  in  trust  in  the  hands  of 
the  Publication  and  Sunday  School  Board  of  the  United  Church,  the  income  to 
be  used  for  the  purposes  of  the  Board,  under  the  direction  of  the  General 
Assembly  of  the  United  Church. 

13.  Federation. — The  subject  of  the  relation  of  the  Council  to  the  future 
of  the  Church  was  referred  to  a  Special  Committee,  consisting  of  Drs.  Lyons, 
Roberts,  McGill,  Searle,  Richards  and  Wolfe.  The  report  submitted  by  the 
Committee  was  discussed  at  length,  and,  after  amendment,  was  unanimously 
adopted.  It  is  respectfully  submitted  for  the  action  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories, 
and  reads : 

Whereas,  There  has  been  a  widespread  awakening  of  the  spirit  of  fel- 
lowship and  co-operation  between  the  Evangelical  Churches  of  our  country,  in 
which  the  Churches  of  the  Presbyterian  family  have  taken  a  notable  part ;  and 

Whereas,  The  Articles  of  Agreement,  adopted  by  the  constituent  Churches 
of  this  Council,  specifically  refer  to  their  co-operative  work  as  one  of  the 
reasons  for  the  existence  of  this  Council ;  and 

Whereas,   Article  5  of  the  said  Articles  of  Agreement  reads : 

"5.     The  Council  shall  promote  the  co-operation  of  the  constituent  Churches 


APPENDIX  169 

in  their  Foreign  Missionary  work,  and  also  in  their  general  work  in  the  United 
States  of  America,  in  connection  with  Home  Missions,  Work  Among  the  Colored 
People,  Church  Erection,  Sabbath  Schools,  Publication  and  Education.  The 
Council  may  also  advise  and  recommend  in  other  matters  pertaining  to  the 
general  welfare  of  the  kingdom  of  Christ";  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Council  hereby  overtures  the  Supreme  Judicatories 
of  the  constituent  Churches  that  they  authorize  and  direct  the  Council : 

a.  To  give  careful  and  full  attention  to  the  whole  subject  of  closer  relations 
and  more  effective  administrative  co-operation  between  the  several  Presbyterian 
and  Reformed  Churches  representing  the  Council,  with  particular  reference 
to  the  formation  of  an  effective  federation  of  their  plans,  work  and  executive 
or  administrative  agencies,  both  in  the  home  and  foreign  fields. 

b.  That  the  Council  shall  report  its  conclusions  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories 
at  their  meetings  in  May  and  June,  1916. 

Resolved,  2.  That  when  as  many  as  four  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories  shall 
approve  the  above  overture,  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Council  shall 
appoint  a  Committee  of  members  of  the  Council,  not  exceeding  eleven  in  number, 
which  Committee  shall  undertake  the  duties  provided  for  in  the  overture,  shall 
confer  with  the  Boards  and  Agencies  interested  in  co-operative  work,  and  shall 
report  to  the  Council  at  its  next  meeting,  either  special  or  regular. 

14.  Representatives  of  Agencies,  Etc. — The  Council  asks  the  consent  of  the 
Supreme  Judicatories  to  the  following  resolutions : 

Resolved,  i.  That  the  Supreme  Judicatories  authorize  their  Executive 
Agencies  to  appoint  representatives  to  be  present  at  future  meetings  of  the 
Council. 

Resolved,  2.  That  each  of  the  Supreme  Judicatories  appoint  Standing  Com- 
mittees to  report  upon  the  minutes  and  recommendations  of  the  Council. 

15.  Elections. — The  Supreme  Judicatories  are  also  respectfully  requested  to 
elect  at  their  next  meetings  the  members  to  represent  them  in  the  Council  for 
the  next  two  years,  or  for  such  other  periods  as  to  the  Judicatories  may  seem

XIII.    REPORT  OF  THE  EXECUTIVE  COMMISSION  OF  THE  ALLI- 
ANCE OF  THE  REFORMED  CHURCHES  THROUGHOUT  THE 
WORLD  HOLDING  THE  PRESBYTERIAN  SYSTEM, 
FOR  THE  YEAR  ENDING  MARCH  31,  1914. 
To  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.: 

Dear  Brethren  : — The  Western  Section  of  the  Executive  Commission  of 
the  Alliance  of  the  Reformed  Churches  throughout  the  World  holding  the 
Presbyterian  System  respectfully  presents  its  Annual  Report  for  the  year  1913-14 
under  the  following  heads  : 

1.  Meetings. — At  the  Tenth  Council  of  the  Alliance,  Aberdeen,  Scotland, 
June,  1913,  a  new  Western  Section  was  appointed,  which  met  and  organized 
during  the  sessions  of  the  Council.  The  regular  meeting  of  the  Western  Section 
was  held  at  Lafayette  College,  Easton,  Pa.,  February  10  and  11,  1914.  A 
cordial  welcome  was  given  to  the  members  by  President  E.  D.  Warfield  of  the 
college,  by  the  faculty  and  by  many  others.  The  business  sessions  were  held 
in  Brainerd  Hall  of  the  college,  a  popular  meeting  was  held  at  Pardee  Hall  on 
the  evening  of  February  10,  and  the  closing  meeting  was  held  at  the  First 
Reformed  Church,  Easton.  The  Section  recognized  cordially  the  hospitality 
generously  tendered. 

2.  Officers. — The  officers  chosen  at  Aberdeen,  Scotland,  were :  Rev.  R.  H. 
Fleming,  D.  D.,  Chairman ;  Rev.  Philip  Vollmer,  D.  D.,  and  E.  W.  C.  Humphrey, 
Esq.,  Vice-Chairmen ;  and  Rev.  J.  C.  Scouller,  D.  D.,  Recording  Secretary. 
These  brethren  served  from  June  25,  1913,  to  February  11,  1914.  At  Easton, 
Pa.,  the  officers  chosen  were :  Rev.  William  McKibbin,  D.  D.,  Chairman ;  Rev. 
Clarence  MacKinnon,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  John  G.  Fagg,  D.  D.,  Vice-Chairmen; 
Rev.  J.  C.  Scouller,  D.  D.,  Recording  Secretary ;  and  Gen.  R.  E.  Prime,  Chairman 
of  the  Executive  Committee.  The  American  Secretary,  Rev.  W.  H.  Roberts, 
D.  D.,  and  Mr.  Philip  E.  Howard,  American  Treasurer,  are  permanent  officers 
of  the  Alliance  and  of  the  Section. 


APPENDIX  171 

3.  Necrology. — The  General  Secretary.  We  record  the  death  of  Rev. 
George  Duncan  Mathews,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  for  twenty-five  years  General  Secretary 
of  the  Alliance.  Dr.  Mathews  was  born  in  Kilkenny,  Ireland,  April  23,  1828, 
and  died  in  Brondesbury,  London,  July  5,  1913,  aged  eighty-five  years.  He 
studied  at  the  United  Presbyterian  Divinity  Hall  in  Edinburgh,  Scotland,  and 
was  ordained  to  the  ministry  by  the  Presbytery  of  Glasgow,  August  31,  1854. 
He  was  pastor  in  Stranraer,  Scotland,  in  New  York  City,  and  in  Quebec, 
Canada,  where  he  also  became  Professor  of  Theology  and  afterwards  of  Moral 
Philosophy  in  Morrin  College.  His  connection  with  the  Alliance  began  in  1873, 
and  until  1888  he  was  American  Secretary.  In  1888  he  was  chosen  General 
Secretary. 

Taking  up  his  residence  at  London,  England,  he  continued  in  active  work 
for  twenty-five  years,  and,  despite  the  increasing  infirmities  of  age,  as  the  years 
advanced  was  increasingly  a  positive  and  influential  factor  in  the  growth  and 
development  of  the  Alliance.  He  traveled  frequently  and  far  in  Europe,  South 
Africa,  America  and  other  portions  of  the  world.  Unwearying  in  his  labors, 
seeking  ever  according  to  his  best  judgment  the  interest  of  the  Churches  of 
Christ  in  the  Alliance,  and,  above  all,  devoted  to  the  cause  of  the  world  kingdom 
of  our  Lord  and  Savior  Jesus  Christ,  he  has  earned  the  reward,  "Well  done, 
good  and  faithful  servant." 

The  members  of  the  Western  Section  who  departed  this  life  during  the 
year  were : 

Mr.  Louis  H.  Severance,  a  member  for  many  years,  and  a  representative 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.,  who  died  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  June 
25,  1913.  While  devoted  to  the  interests  of  the  Church  of  which  he  was  an 
elder,  and  serving  as  a  member  of  its  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  his  heart  went 
out  to  all  parts  of  the  work  of  the  Church  of  Christ,  and  he  gave  generously 
of  his  time  and  means  to  all  good  causes. 

The  Rev.  A.  G.  Wallace,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  passed  to  his  rest  on  August  19, 
1913.  He  had  lived  more  than  fourscore  years,  and  was  active  and  prominent 
in  the  service  of  the  United  Presbyterian  Church  and  in  the  interests  of  the 
kingdom  of  God  until  weakness  disabled  him  a  few  months  before  his  death. 
Dr.  Wallace  became  a  member  of  the  Western  Section  shortly  after  its  organi- 
zation, and  through  all  the  years  was  valuable  in  all  service. 

The  Rev.  Thomas  Gilmore  Boyce,  D.  D.,  was  born  February  3,  1862,  min- 
istered to  the  congregation  of  Hickory  Spring  and  Shady  Grove,  Ark.,  from 
1888-93,  and  to  the  Salem,  Tenn.,  congregation  from  1893  until  his  death. 
Actively  engaged  in  the  work  of  the  ministry,  he  was  suddenly  called  to  rest 
from  his  labors  on  May  31,  1913.  The  Associate  Reformed  Presbyterian  Synod, 
of  which  he  was  a  leading  minister,  has  lost  a  devout  servant  of  Jesus  Christ. 

4.  The  New  General  Secretary. — The  successor  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  George 
Duncan  Mathews  is  the  Rev.  Dr.  Robert  Dykes  Shaw,  a  minister  of  the  United 
Free  Church  of  Scotland,  who  was  unanimously  chosen  by  both  the  Eastern  and 
Western  Sections.  The  first  General  Secretary  was  chosen  from  the  Western 
Section,  and  the  second  was  therefore  chosen  from  the  Eastern  Section.  Dr. 
Shaw  is  in  the  prime  of  life,  an  accomplished  scholar,  acquainted  with  both 
French  and  German,  and  was  a  successful  pastor.  The  Western  Section  asks 
the  constituent  Churches  to  give  him  cordial  support  in  his  work. 


172  APPENDIX 

5.  Membership. — The  Western  Section  at  its  meeting  at  Aberdeen,  Scotland, 
June  25,  1913,  acted  upon  the  subject  of  the  number  of  its  members,  and  took 
final  action  at  Easton,  Pa.,  February  10,  1914,  by  the  adoption  of  the  following 
resolution : 

Resolved,  That  the  Western  Section  shall  consist  of  115  members;  that  the 
constituency  of  each  member  shall  be  25,000  communicants  in  his  denomination, 
except  that  the  churches  of  less  than  25,000  communicants  shall  be  represented  by 
two  members  (one  a  minister  and  one  an  elder)  ;  and  that  the  following  is  the 
allotment  of  membership :

6.  fhe  Aberdeen  Council. — The  Tenth  Council  of  the  Alliance  met  in 
Aberdeen,  Scotland,  as  appointed,  June  18  to  June  26,  1913.  The  city  of 
Aberdeen  is  a  strong  religious  center,  and,  like  all  other  cities  in  Scotland,  the 
dominant  Church  is  the  Presbyterian.  The  welcome  to  the  Council  by  the  city 
was  given  at  the  University  of  Aberdeen  on  the  afternoon  of  June  18,  and  in  the 
evening  at  the  Art  Gallery  by  the  Lord  Provost,  the  Magistrates  and  Town 
Council  of  Aberdeen.  There  were  also  other  social  appointments  emphasizing 
the  cordiality  of  the  welcome. 

The  opening  service  was  held  in  the  Cathedral  of  St.  Machar  in  old  Aber- 
deen. The  edifice  stands  on  the  site  of  a  chapel  erected  by  Machar,  an  Irish 
saint  of  the  seventh  century  and  a  disciple  of  St.  Columba.  The  sermon  was 
delivered  by  the  Rev.  George  Adam  Smith,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  Principal  of  Aberdeen 
University,  and  the  opening  address  by  the  Rev.  D.  J.  Burrell,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  of 
New  York  City,  President  of  the  Alliance. 

There  were  present  about  250  members,  including  representatives  of  Foreign 
Mission  stations  throughout  the  world,  and  in  particular  of  the  Persian  Evan- 
gelical Church  and  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Syria.  The  total  constituency, 
represented  by  the  Council  members,  consists  of  106  denominational  and 
national  Churches,  located  on  all  the  six  continents,  and  having  about  thirty-five 
millions  of  members  and  adherents. 

The  subjects  treated  were:  Authority  in  Matters  of  Faith,  The  Notes  of 
the  Church,  The  Deity,  The  Cross  and  the  Abiding  Presence  of  Christ  in  the 
Church,  The  Use  of  Catechisms,  The  Ministry,  Present-day  Problems,  Social 
Problems,  and  Evangelism. 

In  addition  to  the  business  sessions,  evening  popular  meetings  were  held 


APPENDIX  173 

devoted  to  the  interest  of  Young  People,  to  Foreign  Missions,  to  the  Church, 
and  to  Social  Problems.  The  closing  meeting  in  Music  Hall  was  given  to 
addresses  upon  the  Church  and  Revivals. 

The  entire  effect  of  the  Council,  with  its  250  members,  will  be  conducive  to 
the  welfare,  it  is  believed,  not  only  of  the  Presbyterian  churches  throughout 
the  world,  but  also  to  all  other  Christian  churches. 

7.  l^olume  of  Proceedings. — The  Proceedings  of  the  Aberdeen  Council 
have  been  published  in  an  admirably  edited  volume  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  Shaw. 
The  price  is  two  dollars,  and  it  can  be  had  from  the  American  Secretary  at  his 
office  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.  A  copy  has  been  forwarded  for  the  use  of  your 
venerable  body. 

8.  Foreign  Missions. — There  are  two  great  outstanding  facts  in  the  Foreign 
Mission  field  today,  the  first  of  which  is  the  door  almost  everywhere  open  for 
the  entrance  of  the  Gospel.  Christian  prayer  has  been  largely  answered,  and 
barriers,  long  time  insuperable,  have  melted  or  crumbled.  Except  perhaps  in 
the  Nejd  and  Thibet  or  the  inaccessible  stretches  of  Central  South  America, 
there  are  no  obstacles  of  an  official  character.  The  second  of  these  facts  is  one 
which  appears  on  the  field,  in  the  unification  of  effort,  intelligent  and  wide- 
spread, following  on  that  unity  of  the  spirit  which  has  prompted  in  so  many 
Churches,  the  missionary  endeavor.  Co-operation,  not  competition,  is  the  sig- 
nificant spirit  of  present-day  progressive  missionary  endeavor  and  aid.  Further, 
this  unity  in  effort  finds  constant  expression  in  the  work  of  the  Continuation 
Committee  of  the  World  Missionary  Conference,  held  at  Edinburgh,  Scotland. 
That  Committee  of  forty  men,  with  its  earth-wide  sweep  of  vision,  planning, 
and  endeavor,  represents  a  united  constituency  as  never  before,  and  is  entrusted 
with  the  task  of  inspiring  foreign  missionary  activity  of  the  Protestant  world. 

In  view  of  these  facts,  the  Churches  must  accomplish  a  three-fold  task : 

1.  Reserve  forces  must  be  brought  into  action.  The  whole  Church  must 
be  persuaded  into  the  common  line  of  advance  against  heathenism. 

2.  Our  sons  and  daughters  should  be  consecrated  to  the  work. 

J.  Every  member  of  the  Church  must  be  aroused  to  an  understanding  of 
his  privlege  and  duty  in  connection  with  the  dissemination  of  the  Gospel  to  all 
parts  of  the  world. 

The  following  resolutions  are  submitted  for  your  adoption : 

1.  Resolved,  That  the  Western  Section  of  the  Executive  Commission  of 
the  Alliance  of  Reformed  Churches  holding  the  Presbyterian  System  believes 
that  a  new  day  of  opportunity,  if  not  of  crisis,  is  dawning  upon  the  work  of 
Christian  Missions,  evidenced  by  the  signs  of  the  times,  discernible  in  every 
part  of  the  mission  field,  and  in  the  marvelous  marshaling  of  the  forces  of 
Christianity  into  what  we  are  constrained  to  believe  is  a  divinely  wrought  unity 
of  effort  and  of  aim. 

2.  Resolved,  That  we  urge  the  commendation  of  the  principles  and  aims  of 
the  "every-member"  movement  to  all  our  Churches. 

3.  Resolved,  That  we  call  upon  Christian  ministers  to  seek,  and  Christian 
parents  to  give,  the  very  flower  of  our  Christian  youth  to  the  help  of  the  Lord 
in  what  may  be  the  last  assault  upon  the  strongholds  of  darkness. 

4.  Resolved,  That  we  urge,  through  the  properly  constituted  authorities 
of  our  Churches,  every  member  of  these  Churches,   for  our  missionaries  and 


174  APPENDIX 

for  the  conversion  of  the  world  to  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  a  new  concert  of 
intercessory  prayer,  from  which  the  voice  of  not  a  single  heart  shall  be  lacking. 

9.  Work  in  Foreign  Seaports. — The  Tenth  Council,  in  relation  to  the  mis- 
sion work  done  for  American  and  European  residents  in  foreign  seaports, 
took  action,  which  reads : 

Resolved,  That  this  Council  expresses  its  hearty  approval  of  the  work 
carried  on  in  foreign  seaports  by  the  Annual  Conference  of  North  American 
Mission  Boards,  commend  the  work  to  the  favorable  attention  of  all  the 
Churches,  and  refers  the  matter  to  the  two  Sections  for  further  consideration 
of  the  report. 

This  work,  so  far  as  the  Western  Section  is  concerned,  was  reported  upon 
at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Section  as  follows : 

The  Committee  of  the  Annual  Conference  of  Mission  Boards  having  this 
work  in  charge  has  had  an  unusually  encouraging  year.  The  pastors  whom  it 
has  aided  the  churches  in  Mexico  City,  Colombo,  Ceylon,  and  Kobe,  Japan,  to 
secure,  have  continued  uninterruptedly  at  their  work.  The  Mexico  City  and 
Colombo  churches  ar^  entirely  self-supporting. 

The  church  at  Yokohama  has  been  efficiently  served  during  the  past  year 
by  Dr.  Blackburn,  who  stopped  for  that  purpose  on  his  journey  around  the 
world.  Rev.  G.  Chapman  Jones,  of  Hornell,  N.  Y,,  has  consented  to  take  the 
pastorate  of  the  church  for  the  ensuing  year. 

The  Committee  has  also  arranged  to  supply  the  pastorates  of  union  churches 
in  Rio  Janerio,  Brazil,  and  Peking,  China. 

The  church  at  Tien  Tsin,  China,  has  applied  to  the  Committee  for  help  in 
securing  a  pastor. 

A  Tourist  Directory  of  Christian  Work  in  Asia  has  been  published  during 
the  year,  and  copies  have  been  sent  to  all  the  tourist  agencies.  The  preparation 
of  it  was  an  arduous  labor  of  love  on  the  part  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee, Dr.  Speer,  and  the  Western  Section  has  expressed  to  him  its  appreciation 
of  his  devoted  and  efficient  services  in  this  important  work. 

10.  Work  in  Europe. — Germany. — Three  things  worthy  of  note  are  indicated. 
The  opposition  to  an  establishment  of  religion  is  asserting  itself  in  a  peculiar 
manner.  During  the  year  1912,  and  the  first  three  months  of  1913,  140,000 
persons  left  the  State  Church.  The  Reformed  Alliance  met  last  September  at 
Wesel,  one  of  the  great  centers  of  the  Reformation.  The  Alliance  is  making 
steady  progress  in  its  effort  to  gather  together  the  scattered  Reformed  Churches. 
Its  membership  now  consists  of  five  Synods,  114  congregations,  with  a  con- 
stituency of  300,000  adherents.  Rev.  Prof.  A.  Lang,  of  the  University  of  Halle, 
is  at  present  visiting  in  this  country  as  its  representative.  The  Synod  of  Posen 
united  with  the  Alliance  last  year. 

France. — The  exodus  from  religion  to  indifferentism  or  infidelity  is  still  in 
progress.  Free-thinking  associations,  which  aim  to  supersede  the  Christian 
Churches,  have  been  organized,  and  are  particularly  strong  in  the  industrial 
class.  The  adherents  of  the  Christian  Churches  are  to  be  found  principally 
among  the  upper  and  middle  classes.  The  great  mass  of  the  people  have  no 
distinct  Christian  or  anti-Christian  principles,  but  conform  to  the  traditions  of 
the  Church  in  such  acts  as  baptism,  marriage,  confirmation,  and  funeral  cere- 
monies.    The  attitude   of   the  government   towards  the   manifestations   of   the 


APPENDIX  175 

Christian  faith  has  been  that  of  extreme  reserve.  Despite  these  unfavorable 
indications,  there  are  signs  that  France  is  finding  out  the  emptiness  of  mere 
materialism,  and  is  inclining  toward  more  spiritual  things. 

Italy. — This  year  this  most  ancient  Church  of  the  Alliance  is  represented  in 
America  by  the  Rev.  Mr.  Bosio.  A  notevi^orthy  incident  in  its  history  is  the 
services  regularly  held  in  the  new  Waldensian  Church  in  Rome,  erected  through 
the  generosity  of  John  Stewart  Kennedy  at  a  cost  of  $250,000. 

Hungary. — The  visit  to  this  country  by  the  deputation  of  the  Eastern  Section 
in  the  summer  of  1912  has  been  productive  of  excellent  results.  At  the  Aberdeen 
Council  about  a  dozen  Hungarian  ministers  and  laymen  were  present,  and  from 
the  association  with  the  practical  British  and  American  Churches  has  come  a 
new  vitality  in  the  Church.  Schools  are  being  improved,  home  evangelization 
strengthened,  and  a  movement  to  begin  Foreign  Mission  work  in  Roumania  is 
being  contemplated. 

Bohemia. — Preparation  for  the  Quinquecentennial  of  the  Martyrdom  of 
John  Huss,  in  1915,  are  being  completed.  It  is  hoped  that  this  anniversary, 
of  such  especial  interest  to  the  Churches  of  our  faith,  will  be  the  means  of  great 
uplift  and  inspiration,  and  that  the  action  suggested  later  will  be  adopted. 

English-Speaking  Churches  and  Summer  Services. — At  Frankford-on-the 
Main  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.  has  a  church,  with  forty  members, 
who  raise  $1,500  a  year.  It  is  now  without  a  pastor,  and  in  great  need  of  a 
church  building.  At  Paris  the  same  denomination  is  sustaining  a  work  for 
3,000  students.  Its  importance  may  be  judged  from  the  fact  that  the  Americans 
there  raise  $2,000  for  its  support.  The  English  summer  services  at  The  Hague 
were  continued  by  the  Dutch  Reformed  Church,  with  Rev.  Henry  J.  Veldman, 
of  Holland,  Mich.,  in  charge.  The  audiences  were  the  largest  in  the  history 
of  the  work,  averaging  over  100,  and  with  a  total  of  more  than  1,100.  The 
services  at  Zurich,  Switzerland,  were  continued  by  Rev.  James  I.  Good,  D.  D. 
Owing  to  the  renovation  of  the  old  cathedral,  services  were  held  in  other  places, 
and  consequently  the  audiences  were  not  quite  so  large  as  the  previous  summer. 

The  influence  of  the  great  World's  Sunday  School  Convention  at  Zurich  will 
doubtless  affect  our  Churches  in  Europe.  During  the  fifty  years  that  Sunday 
Schools  have  existed  there  they  have  been  largely  limited  in  their  membership 
to  little  children.  At  this  convention  the  work  among  young  people  or  adults 
was  emphasized,  and  it  is  confidently  expected  that  the  movement  for  adult 
Bible  classes  will  now  spread  all  over  Europe  and  exert  a  blessed  influence  on 
the  Churches. 

The  following  recommendations  are  presented  to  the  Supreme  Judicatories 
for  adoption : 

1.  That  the  Rev.  Mr.  Bosio,  of  Rome,  of  the  Waldensian  Church,  be  cor- 
dially commended  to  the  Churches. 

2.  That  in  view  of  the  approaching  Quinquecentennial  of  the  death  of 
John  Huss,  in  191 5,  and  in  order  that  the  full  significance  of  this  anniversary 
may  be  utilized  for  the  benefit  and  inspiration  of  our  Churches,  especially  in 
respect  to  the  nature  of  the  true  Church  and  religious  toleration,  for  both  of 
which  things  he  stands  out  with  great  prominence  in  the  history  of  the  Church, 
that  the  Committee  appointed  by  the  Section  be  generously  sustained  in  its 
efforts  to  secure  a  proper  observance  of  this  anniversary,  and  that  a  general 
collection   in   our  congregations   during  that  year  be  gathered   to   erect  as   a 


176  APPENDIX 

memorial  to  John  Huss  the  Huss  House  at  Prague,  as  a  center  of  Protestant 
activity  and  influence  in  the  land  of  Huss. 

11.  Education  in  Canada. — An  interesting  paper,  prepared  by  Principal 
John  Scrimger,  of  Montreal,  on  Education  in  Canada,  was  submitted  to  the 
Western  Section  at  Easton.    Briefly  stated,  the  situation  is  as  follows : 

The  population  of  the  country  is,  roughly  speaking,  two-thirds  Protestant 
and  one-third  Roman  Catholic.  Ever  since  the  conquest  by  the  British  in  1769, 
the  Roman  Catholics,  who  were  the  first  settlers  of  the  country,  have  been 
watchful  to  secure  every  possible  privilege.  In  the  Province  of  Quebec,  where 
they  have  a  clear  majority,  they  have  established  a  system  of  education  as 
thoroughly  ecclesiastical  as  it  is  possible  to  have  it  and  still  be  recognized  by 
the  State.  They  have  schools  under  control  of  their  bishops,  and  in  which 
the  teachers,  to  a  large  extent,  belong  to  ecclesiastical  orders.  No  certificate 
of  qualification  for  teachers  is  required  beyond  that  of  the  bishop.  In  the  list 
of  studies  the  first  and  foremost  place  is  given  to  the  Catechism. 

In  the  other  Provinces  Roman  Catholics  are  in  a  minority,  and  the  Protestant 
ideal  of  education  is  the  dominating  one,  yet  Catholics  have  secured  the  right 
to  organize  separate  schools,  and  in  Ontario  they  have  500  such  schools  actually 
in  operation.  Where  the  Roman  Catholics  have  not  been  able  to  maintain 
separate  schools,  they  have  demanded  that  religious  instruction  shall  be  excluded 
from  the  public  schools,  and  that  the  Bible  shall  not  even  be  read.  In  many  cases 
this  point  has  been  yielded.  In  Nova  Scotia,  New  Brunswick,  Saskatchewan, 
and  Alberta,  Catholic  schools  and  Catholic  teachers,  including  the  religious 
orders,  are  recognized.  The  public  schools  are  mainly  controlled  by  the 
Public  School  Boards. 

In  another  important  direction  the  Roman  Catholic  influence  is  felt  in- 
juriously— in  the  refusal  to  consent  to  compulsory  education.  Quebec  and 
Manitoba  are  the  two  Provinces  which  have  no  compulsory  education  law,  and 
in  both  cases  it  is  due  directly  to  their  power.  It  is  needless  to  add  that  the 
Roman  Catholic  Church  in  Canada  is  avowedly  in  politics. 

12.  Arbitration. — The  Tenth  Council  directed  that  the  following  resolu- 
tion, commending  arbitration  in  the  settlement  of  international  disputes,  be 
submitted  for  approval : 

Resolved,  "That  while  the  condition  of  modern  nations  does  not  warrant 
the  confident  hope  that  war  can  be  altogether  avoided  as  a  means  of  settling 
international  disputes,  this  Council  deplores  the  horrors  and  bloodshed  that  are 
ever  connected  with  it,  and  the  spirit  that  evokes  it,  as  contrary  to  the  principles 
of  Christianity,  and  inconsistent  with  the  ideals  at  which  the  Christian  Church 
is  bound  to  aim. 

"The  Council  is  of  the  opinion  that  most  of  the  disputes  which  lead  to  war 
might  be  settled  by  properly  constituted  Courts  of  Arbitration,  which  would 
command  the  confidence  of  the  various  nations  and  prepare  the  way  for  the 
diminution  of  the  armaments  which  now  lay  such  a  heavy  burden  on  the 
government's  and  peoples  of  the  various  countries  of  the  world. 

"The  Council  therefore  rejoices  in  the  proposals  for  treaties  in  favor  of 
arbitration  between  different  nations,  providing  for  the  submission  of  disputed 
questions  to  such  courts  before  appealing  to  the  arbitrament  of  the  sword,  and 
would  encourage  the  statesmen  of  the  world  to  seek  to  secure  the  acceptance  of 
such  treaties  wherever  possible." 


APPENDIX  177 

13.  World  Conference  on  Faith  and  Order. — In  the  matter  of  the  proposed 
World  Conference,  the  following  action  was  taken  by  Council : 

"Whereas,  There  has  been  submitted  to  this  Council  a  proposal  by  the 
Joint  Commission  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church  in  the  United  States  for 
a  World  Conference  on  Faith  and  Order  of  all  Christian  Churches  which  confess 
our  Lord  Jesus  Christ  as  God  and  Savior,  for  the  purpose  of  study  and  discus- 
sion, without  power  to  pass  resolutions;  and 

"Whereas,  A  conference  of  said  Commission  with  the  Co-operating  Com- 
missions and  Committees  of  other  American  Churches  has  submitted  the  same 
proposal  through  Gen.  R.  E.  Prime,  of  New  York,  a  duly  appointed  delegate; 
and 

"Whereas,  The  Western  Section  of  the  Executive  Commission  has  com- 
mended this  proposal,  and  it  has  been  approved  by  a  number  of  its  constituent 
Churches,  therefore, 

"Resolved  (i),  That  this  Council  places  on  record  its  sympathy  with  all 
wise  measures  which  have  for  their  object  the  restoration  of  the  unity  of  Chris- 
tendom, and  the  fulfillment  of  our  Lord's  prayer  for  His  Church. 

"Resolved  (2),  That  the  invitation  to  join  in  the  proposed  Conference 
concerning  Faith  and  Order  be  transmitted  to  the  constituent  Churches  com- 
posing the  Alliance,  with  such  information  as  shall  secure  an  intelligent  con- 
sideration of  the  whole  matter. 

"Resolved  (3),  That  the  necessary  information,  so  far  as  this  Council  is 
concerned,  be  furnished  through  the  Eastern  and  Western  Sections  of  the 
Executive  Commission." 

14.  Sabbath  School  and  Young  People's  Work.— A  survey  of  the  situation 
in  the  Sabbath  Schools  and  Young  People's  Societies  in  the  Western  Section 
reveals  advances  in  efficiency  and  a  hopeful  outlook.  Attention  is  called  specially 
to  the  matters  following : 

1.  Educational  Advances. — There  is  a  decided  endeavor  in  the  churches  to 
enlarge  the  vision  and  awaken  the  interest  of  our  children  and  young  people  in 
the  direction  of  a  more  accurate  knowledge  of  fundamental  Christian  doctrines, 
the  great  facts  of  Church  history  and  government,  the  situation  as  to  missions  at 
home  and  abroad,  and  practical  training  in  the  work  of  the  local  church.  The 
Sabbath  School  Boards  of  our  Churches  are  co-operating  in  the  production  of 
a  literature  in  these  lines  suitable  for  the  young. 

2.  Teacher  Training. — The  denominational  Boards  and  Committees  give 
permanent  place  to  the  requirement  of  a  teacher  training  class  in  each  school. 
The  Boards  furnish  requisite  literature  and  material  for  the  prosecution  of 
this  work.  There  is  an  increasing  realization  of  the  truth  that  teachers  in  our 
Sabbath  Schools  and  leaders  in  our  Young  People's  Societies  must  be  ade- 
quately guided  and  directed  in  preparation  for  and  in  the  conduct  of  their 
serious  work. 

3.  Graded  Lessons. — Plans  for  a  new  series  of  Graded  Lessons  have  been 
agreed  upon,  and  are  now  being  worked  out  by  the  Publishing  Agencies  of  our 
Churches.  These  lessons  are  to  be  Biblical  and  evangelical,  based  upon  depart- 
ments rather  than  years,  and  published  periodically.  They  will  maintain  the 
supreme  authority  of  the  Bible,  emphasizing  the  supernatural  in  the  sphere  of 


178  APPENDIX 

Providence,  and  making  clear  the  need  for  regeneration  and  the  grace  of  Christ 
in  the  upbuilding  of  character. 

4.  Men's  Organised  Classes. — Adult  Bible  classes,  composed  of  men  or 
women,  or  both,  are  a  feature  of  many  Sabbath  Schools  at  present.  There  is 
great  enthusiasm  among  the  men  who  have  entered  these  classes,  and  the  value  of 
the  study  of  God's  Word  by  them  cannot  be  overestimated.  It  is  encouraging  to 
note  that  the  modern  Sabbath  School  has  a  large  element  of  adult  members. 

5.  Evangelism. — The  evangelistic  effort  in  Sabbath  Schools  is  of  the  first 
importance.  The  value  of  this  kind  of  work  is  emphasized  by  the  fact  that 
the  first  direct  contact  of  the  Church  with  the  ever-increasing  immigrant 
population  is  almost  invariably  through  the  Sabbath  School.  In  most  schools 
today  two  lines  of  work  are  followed :  First,  the  encouraging  of  the  children 
of  believers  to  recognize  personally  their  covenant  relationship  to  the  Church; 
and,  second,  the  need  of  decision  for  Christ  on  the  part  of  all  scholars.  Statis- 
ticians state  that  only  40  per  cent,  of  the  Sabbath  School  scholars  are  brought 
to  Christ.  This  is  probably  true,  and  affords  reason  for  a  great  searching  of 
heart.  But,  on  the  other  hand,  the  question  can  be  asked :  Are  40  per  cent, 
of  the  unconverted  adults,  who  are  in  touch  with  the  churches  and  hear  the 
offer  of  salvation,  brought  to  Christ?  The  answer  will  be,  No,  and  it  makes 
clear  the  duty  of  yet  more  consistent  and  sustained  effort  for  the  bringing  of 
the  children  and  young  people  to  the  Savior. 

15.  Home  Missions. — The  greatest  mission  field  in  the  world  is  North 
America.  This  is  true  as  to  the  magnitude  of  the  unoccupied  territory  and  the 
unreached  and  increasing  populations.  Canada  and  the  United  States  to- 
gether have  an  immense  territory  of  fertile  and  uncultivated  land,  and  have 
also  passed  the  one  hundred  million  mark  in  population.  The  nature  of  Home 
Missions  is  also  being  changed.  There  is  no  longer  a  frontier  which  appeals 
for  the  Gospel,  but  instead  of  it  we  have  the  congested  city,  the  disintegrating 
country  church,  the  immigrant  population,  the  mining  camps,  the  lumber 
mills,  the  multitudinous  factories,  and  both  the  degraded  Negro  and  the  de- 
graded white  man.  All  these  features  emphasize  the  fact  that  the  task  of 
Home  Missions  is  expanding,  and,  as  one  has  said :  "If  the  Church  loses  the 
fight  in  America,  the  evangelization  of  the  world  in  this  generation  will  be  but 
the  dream  of  a  dreamer  who  dreams  that  he  dreams."  A  full  report  was  made 
by  the  Committee  on  Home  Missions  of  the  Western  Section  at  Easton  upon 
the  whole  field  of  North  American  Missions.  All  the  Churches  are  actively  at 
work.  In  the  United  States  the  Home  Missions  Council  is  seeking  to  unify 
the  forces  of  Christian  America,  and  by  means  of  the  Home  Mission  Week  to 
impress  the  whole  Church  and  country  as  never  before  in  its  history.  There 
is  as  yet,  however,  no  widespread  co-operation  in  Home  Mission  work.  In 
Canada,  however,  the  Canadian  Church  has  unified  its  entire  Home  Mission 
work  under  one  well-articulated  central  agency,  and  is  nearing  the  goal  of 
amalgamating  the  evangelical  forces  of  British  America  into  one  great  Protestant 
organization.  A  like  work  of  amalgamation  and  unification  is  pre-eminently 
the  need  of  the  Churches  in  the  United  States. 

The  following  statistical  table,  prepared  by  the  Rev.  Dr.  S.  L.  Morris,  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  S.,  gives  a  specifically  accurate  survey  of  Home 
Mission  conditions  in  the  United  States  and  Canada :

16.  Evangelism. — The  Tenth  Council  considered  the  subject  of  Evangelism 
with  some  fullness.  The  closing  popular  meeting  was  devoted  to  the  subject, 
addresses  being  delivered  by  the  Rev.  Wm.  H.  Roberts,  D.  D.,  the  Rev.  Henry 
Montgomery,  D.  D.,  and  the  Rev.  Charles  W.  Gordon,  D.  D.  During  the 
sessions  a  Permanent  Committee  on  Evangelistic  Work  was  appointed,  with 
branches  for  both  the  Eastern  and  Western  Sections,  and  the  following  resolu- 
tions were  adopted : 

"i.  That  pastors  of  Churches  represented  in  the  Alliance  be  urged  to  present 
more  earnestly  and  more  constantly,  both  in  their  preaching  and  in  personal 
conversation  with  members  of  their  congregations,  the  vital  necessity  of  repent- 
ance for  sin  and  faith  in  Jesus  Christ  as  the  conditions  of  pardon  and  eternal 
life. 

"2.  That  the  Tenth  General  Council  hereby  commends  to  all  the  Churches 
represented  in  it  the  world-wide  movement  for  evangelization,  as  it  has  relation 
to  evangelistic  effort  within  their  own  bounds,  and  the  cultivation  in  their 
ministry  and  membership  of  the  evangelistic  spirit.  We  believe  that  this  spirit 
is  fundamental  to  the  success  of  the  work  of  Christ,  not  only  abroad,  but  also 
at  home. 

"3.  That  this  Council  sends  out  to  the  Churches  a  solemn  call  for  a  year  of 
intercession,  beginning  October  i,  1914,  for  the  outpouring  of  the  Holy  Spirit 
throughout  the  world  in  both  home  and  foreign  fields. 

"4.  That  while  this  Council  cordially  approves  and  commends  all  wise 
methods  of  evangelism,  it  would  earnestly  remind  the  Churches  within  its  pur- 
view that  all  true  followers  of  Christ  are  called  to  evangelistic  service  as  fishers 
of  men ;  and  that  the  responsibility  for  such  service  cannot  be  disallowed  or 
laid  upon  others :  for  which  cause  parents  and  religious  teachers,  particularly  in 
the  Sabbath  School,  are  urged  to  emphasize  more  and  more  deeply  the  importance 
of  an  immediate  acceptance  of  Christ  as  the  only  hope  of  salvation  from  the 
penalty  and  power  of  sin." 

It  is  respectfully  requested  that  these  resolutions  be  passed  also  by  you,  and

21.  The  Eleventh  Council  Meeting  Place. — The  invitation  of  the  Presby- 
terian Churches  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  submitted  by  the  Western  Section,  for  the 
meeting  of  the  Eleventh  General  Council  in  that  city  was  submitted  to  and  unani- 
mously accepted  by  the  Tenth  Council.  The  time  was  fixed  for  the  month  of 
September,  1917,  the  opening  day  to  be  as  near  the  fifteenth  of  that  month  as 
may  be  convenient.  The  Committee  to  have  charge  of  the  local  arrangements 
was  duly  appointed,  with  the  Rev.  John  McNaugher,  D.  D.,  as  Chairman. 

22.  Next  Meeting  of  the  Western  Section. — The  Western  Section  will  meet 
in  1915,  at  Cincinnati,  O.,  having  accepted  the  kind  invitation  of  Walnut  Hills 
Presbyterian  Church  and  Lane  Theological  Seminary  in  that  city.  The  time  has 
been  left  to  the  Executive  Committee. 

23.  General  Outlook. — The  Churches  of  the  Alliance  on  all  the  six  con- 
tinents are,  as  a  rule,  prospering  spiritually.  Their  resources  of  men  and  means 
are  on  the  increase,  and  their  spirit  is  optimistic.  Before  them  all  lies  an  open 
door  for  the  salvation  of  souls  and  the  redemption  of  humanity.  The  general 
interest  in  religion  on  the  part  of  the  masses  of  human  beings,  both  in  home  and 
foreign  fields,  is  noticeable.  It  is  easy  to  talk  about  Christ  today  in  Asia  and 
Africa  as  well  as  in  Europe  and  America.  May  the  Churches  of  the  Alliance 
so  cooperate  in  work  and  unite  in  prayer  that  ere  long  the  prophecy  of  our 
divine  Lord  may  be  completely  fulfilled:  "And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up,  will  draw 
all  men  unto  me." 

Respectfully  submitted  in  behalf  of  the  Alliance, 
Wm  McKibbin,  Chairman. 
Wm.  H.  Roberts,  American  Secretary.

the  Secretary  of  Publication ;  always  procuring  new  ones. 

1.  To  make  their  reports  in  fair,  distinct  writing,  especially  the  columns 
of  names  and  figures  in  the  Statistical  Tables.  Add  all  the  columns  and  report 
no  fractions  in  the  money  columns — using  machine  if  practicable. 

2.  To  make  them  as  accurate  and  as  full  as  possible.  When  Churches  do

tions, installations,  dissolution  of  pastorates,  organrzation  and  dissolution  of 
Churches  and  the  names  of  ministers  deceased.  Place  a  star  after  name  of

i82  APPENDIX 

the  Assembly  as  soon  as  they  are  prepared.  If  Statistical  Reports  are  not 
received  before  the  Assembly  meets,  it  will  occasion  embarrassing  delay  in  the 
publication  of  the  Minutes. 

Blank  forms  for  Sessional  or  Presbyterial  Reports  are  not  furnished  by 
the  Stated  Clerk  of  the  General  Assembly,  but  by  the  Executive  Committee  of 
Publication,  at  cost  price,  by  order  of  the  Assemblies  of  1867  and  1878;  and 
Stated  Clerks  are  earnestly  urged  to  supply  themselves  with  the  latest  blanks 
for  all  Reports.    Get  new  blanks  each  year,  and  thereby  avoid  confusion. 

The  Assembly  instructs  Stated  Clerks  to  send  up  no  overture,  except  when 
it  is  written  upon  a  separate  sheet  of  its  own. 

Notify  the  Stated  Clerk  of  General  Assembly  when  a  change  is  made  in 
the  clerkship  of  your  Presoytery.

Assembly  through  its  Stated  Clerk  (i)  of  the  formation  or  dissolution  of 
Presbyteries  within  the  bounds  of  their  respective  Synods,  and  (2)  of  the 
times  and  places  of  the  next  ensuing  meetings  of  these  bodies  It  is  not 
required  that  Synodical  Narratives  or  statistical  reports  prepared  by  Synod  be 
sent  to  the  Assembly.  They  are  simply  for  Synodical  record.  (3)  Notify  the 
Stated  Clerk  of  the  Assembly  when  change  is  made  in  the  clerkship  of  Synod.

the  Assembly's  clerk  may  begin  that  early  the  preparation  of  his  schedules 
and  blanks  for  the  next  Assembly.  To  do  this  he  needs  a  complete  roll  of 
Presbyteries. 


PRAYER  FOR  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 

Whereas,  The  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United

own  glory  and  to  advance  the  kingdom  of  Jesus  on  earth.
