BIG CONVENTION
OPENS WEDNESDAY
Five Hundred Delegates Will
Attend General Assembly
at Reid Church.
WILL HAVE NO PROGRAM
SUBJECTS OF MUCH CCESE-
QUENcE TO THE CHURCH WILL
BE DISCUSSED AS THEY COME
UP-ENTERTAIN DELEGATES.

The General Assembly of the Unit
ed Presbyterian Churches of North
America will hold it's annual meeting
this year in Richmond, the place of
meeting being the magnificent Reid
Memorial church. The first session
of the body will be at 1880 o'clock on
the evening of Wednesday, May %.
This assembly is one of the largest
church conventions in the country and
it is very seldom that the place of
meeting is held in a city the size of
Richmond. 1t will bring to the city
400 or 500 delegates. The assembly
will be in session, it is expected, a
week or longer, and many questions
of Importance will be brought up and
discussed
The Rev. S. R. Lyons, pastor of the
Reid Memorial church, was asked yes
terday for program of the event, but
he stated that he would be unable to
give it as no'program has been or will
be prepared. Questions are discuss
ed and acted upon as they are brought
up, no set time being made for their
presentation. The rules that govern
this assembly are the same as are
used for the government of legisla-
tive bodies.
Lodging for Delegates.
An embarrassing question, that OF
providing room and board for the
large number of delegates, has been
met and solved. The delegates will
be entertained in private residences
and meals will be served at the old
Presbyterian church and at the Reid
Memorial church by church societies
and charitable organizations.
1t is expected that the assembly
will devote considerable of its time
and attention to foreign missions. The
United Presbyterian church has made
great strides in the foreign mission
field and today it is generally conced'
ed that the United Presbyterian
church leads all the other denomina-
tions in this particular branch of mis-
sionary endeavor. 1t is also probable
that the much mooted question of con-
solidation of the Presbyterian church
and the United Presbyterian church
vii be discussed, but it is thought
that nothing definite will be reached.

CRINoLINE IN THE PULPIT,
English Rector Once Preached a Ser.

mon In Its Favor.
Apropos of the crinoline scare, I
must relate a quaint story told me by
q gentleman old enough to remember
the "age Of Steel" and who was init
mately acquainted with the country
parson who preached the sermon he
quoted from.
His church was a very small one
and his congregation a large and
fashionable one. The rector was
neither narrow-minded nor behind
the times, and his taste was catholic
enough to embrace even the crinoline
Of the early COS. He did not find fault
with their appearance, only with tho
undue space they usurped.
On one memorable Sunday morning
he electrified his congregation by dis.
coursing on the subject. He dealt ten.
derby with the offending hoop, and
began by making a s%ingularly unprac-
teal suggestion, with all the ignor.
ance of his well-meaning masculine
mind, to the effect that they might
wear these appendages during the
week with great eclat, but leave them
on on Sundays.
Then, when the f1utter his a~udacious
suggestion had begun to subside, he
declared himself no enemy to, but
eminently the friend Of fashion,;
changes of style in dress. he init.
mated, were pleasing to the eye, and
excellent for trade; they encouraged
ingenuity in work and gave lessons in
taste.
II have no intention of disparaging
your crinolines, my friends" he said
benevOlently, but would rather draw
a lesson from them, and wish with all
my heart that your virtues may be as
large as your skirts, and your vices
as small as your waists."-Gentle-

SOME ADVICE ABOUT READING.
'When You Are Getting, Why Not Gel
the Best"

Let young men and women let other
books alone, say, for five years, and
feed on Shakespeare, Milton and the
Bible-not nibble the choice parts
but thoroughly chew and digest, as
they read, and the highest mental
force and equipment will be the re.
suit.
BY the way, II is not necessary W.
to go out of Georgia to point the
moral of this little sketch.
Herschel V. Johnson was a great
thinker and a great man. He said:
II know nothing of felton,
But he knew much of Shakespeare.
Milton and the Bible!
Benjamin II. Hill was a great think
er and a great man.
He never read but one novel in his
life, and was not conscious of deriv-
ing any benefit from that mean
mental growth!
But he knew his Shakespeare, his
Milton and his Bible. Why multiply
illustrations. Herschel V. Johnson's
state papers are models Of the best
English. Benjamin Hill played upon
the English language like a harp
