Several Country Systems in Process
of Evolution.
Special to The Journal.
Pierre, s. D.. May 15.-The matter of
electric railroad lines appears to be re-
ceiving great deal OF attention over the
state. What is probably the most prom
inent movement in the way of street
service is at Sioux Falls, where the indi-
cations point to the construction of an
electric system for that city.
The most prominent country system is
that which is to connect Deadwood and
Lead with Spearfish, for which fran
chise has been granted by the county
commissioners of Lawrence county.
! Another country line for which it is
said the capital can be secured is one
from Vermiliof to Wakonda, across Clay
county, a line about twenty miles long
which will traverse a well-settled sec
ton of country. H.
Another proposed line Is to extend from
Hartford to Cotton. in Minnehaha coun-
ty. This would be about twelve miles
long and tap a section which has no di-
rect railway facilities.
Another line about ten miles long is
projected by Father Kroeger and will
extend from Superior to his sanatorium
at Epiphany.
John H. King and other Huron men are
talking of a line to run from Redheld to
Condo. crossing Sphinx county from south
west to northeast, for distance OF about
twenty-five miles

THIS IS The Hath
Meeting Of the Presbyterian General
Assembly.
THE OPENING OF SESSION TO-DAY
during Mission of Presby-
terianism."

New York, May 15.-The one hundred
and fourteenth general assembly Of the
Presbyterian church was opened In the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church this
city to-day. The sessions will continue
Tor fifteen days. The most important
the report of the committee on revision of
the confession Of faith. This report
probably will be debated on May 2Sd. F
At to-day's session the Rev. DR.. Henry
c. Minton of San Francisco, the modera-
tor. delivered a sermon on The Enduring
Mission of Presbyterianism." The text
was from Hebrews, the eleventh chapter,
fortieth verse, THAT they without us
should not be made perfect"
DR.. Minton said doubtless God could
have made men wholly independent Of
each other. fatherless and childless
Melchizedecs. But in that case there
would have been no race, no humanity.
And what is true of the race applies to
the church. All are bound together: a
healthy and generous decentralization
need be no hindrance to the progress OF
the church. All may appropriate the text.
And so, too, may Presbyterians, standing
on the threshold of a new century. Con-
tinuing, the preacher asked: &,
Are our contribut tons out of date? Is our
faith back number, and our type OF >piety
and character unsuted to current conditions?
In answering such an inquiry, note first that
Presbyterianism has always Characterlst1cally
approached men on their rational, side. Men
are thinking as never BEFORE and men think
their way back to the eternal problems OF
God. 4. f.. -,. b. ..,., - -. 5..s
1t follows that our church has ever placed
the emphasis on education. 1t has always
stood for an educated pulpit and an intelligent
pew. The highest note Of Presbyterianism ls
that Of intellectual conviction, Of appeal to
mems Judgment the sure ground of truth.
There are certain elements in the gov
eminent and doctrine CT the Presbyterian
church which especially fit it to exert
powerful indirect influence in the Interest OF
law andaorder, and in promoting the ciyiliza-
ton of mankind.
The records Of patriarchs and prophets, OF
apostles and martyrs cannot be rounded <out
till the loyal allegiance, the Christ-like spirit
the consecrated energies of our generation are
counted in. 1t is a glorious company Of which
we are part. We perform our mission, we
fill our place, we accomplish our work in the
program Of redemption Of a lost race, cover
ing the vast sweep of time, and in the march
of the redeemed of God towards the far of
goal Of perfection which is complete in Jesus
Christ. g..
At the close of the sermon there was a
recess to 3 >. m. at which time a moder-
ator was to be elected.

the stupefaction Of those familiar with the
spot the town clock remained intact as If to
