REFERRED TO UNION
MODERATOR MOFFATs SERMON AT
 WINONA LAKE.
Says that Every Effort Should be Made for the Presbyterians to Get To- Eether-The Question of Hymn
 EfnRfuW.

winona Lake, Ind, May 21.-The as- sembly sermon delivered by the Mode rator James D. Moffat. before the del egates to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, was a feature of a day so crowded with religious exer- cises in commemoration of the four hundredth anniversary of John Knox, the Scotch reformer, that many of the meetings overlapped.
 Considerable comment was occasioned by that part of the moderatior's sermon which referred to the proposed union with the Cumberland branch of the church. pr. Moffat said in part:
 There is undoubtedly a widespread feeling throughout our church that the United Presbyterian Church sneuld unite with us.
 "We should not only ask them to come to us as we have been doing. but we should make an earnest effort to go to them, We have been asking them to come to our position with respect to the singing of bymns. I am willing that we should go a considerable ways towards their position in the matter in the use of psalms. Why should we not take the Psalms of David as the form of our hymnody and write into them Jesus Christ. We need not take Rouse's version of the psalms or any existing translation of them but we can take new version for the twentieth century. hope to see the day when all the diner- ent bodies of the Presbyterian faitn will unite in giving us revised singa- hla version of the psalms.

STRIKERS RUN AMUcK

Honolulu, May 21.--Most of the white population at La Haina. on the Island of Maui, including the military. are prisoners In the courthouse, surrounded by Japanese laborers.
 One Japanese was killed and two wounded by the plantation police in an attack on the plantation mill
 The entire 2,300 Japanese Iaborers on the island are now on strike and are showing violent mood. The steamer Kinau left Honolulu this afternoon. taking National Guard Company F, con- sisting of thirty men and forty armed Honolulu police, to the scene of tho trouble.
 The strike started a week ago on the wailuku plantation. The Japanese made a long list of demands, among overseer.Ali the demands were rejected
 On Friday the strike spread to the pioneer plantation. The plantation im- mediatey began paying off the striking Japanese, who then commenced to stone the mill and resisted all efforts of the mounted police to drive them away. The Maui military. which was called out, restored order temporarily. Ey- erything was peaceful late Saturday and the island steamer Claudine left. but soon after the steamers departure a clash between the Japanese and the plantation guard occurred. in which the shooting took place. It resulted in q general outbreak and the Imprisonment of the whites and the militia in the courthouse by the Japanese.
 Wireless messages were sent to Hon. olulu asking for aid. A tug was also sent through fear that the wireless telegraph was not working.
 The secretary of the Japanese consul accompanied the forces on the Kinau. He will try to pacify the strikers.
 The entire remaining police force of Honolulu is on duty at the police sta- tion. tonight, although there are signs of trouble.

MONTGOMERY OVERTURE.
Communication tO Southern Presbyte-
 rian Assembly.


 Fort Worth, Texas, May 21.-The work of the general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church in con vention here was largely or routine character last week. Whether definite steps will be taken by this assembly toward uniting the Reformed ana Presbyterian churches Is the most lm- portant question before the convention. The consensus of opinion appears to bear out the expressed belief that be- vond movement looking to closer relations, no further efforts for a com plete union will be made.
 This week a number Of standing committees and several special com rnittees will report. Nearly all the special business before the meeting will likely be transacted.
 An interesting report to come oerore the convention in on an overture that was read last Saturday from the Pres bytery of Montgomery asking this as- sembly to cooperate in an inter church conference relating to marriage and divorce. The overture also asks that a committee be appointed to act with similar committee from other churches to plan some means whereby the alarming number of divorces may be reduced.
 This morning several of the visiting ministers filled the pulpits of the city and this afternoon ,Dr. c. Reed, of Columbia, s. C., delivered special sermon at the Broadway Presbyterian church in celebration of the Tooth an- niyersary of the Birth of John Knox.
