 Body.

Now when the gentle sp 8 days ara here and the seasonabie Spring show CTS are revivifying all nature, and all plant life is starting to bud forth in glory, many man and woman does not feel the joyousness which should be theirs at this season. Rather they feel languid. tired. and have very little or no appetite, ambition is gone. lack energy, enjoy neither work nor rest. Life in their case at least is largely a burden, thing to be endured. not to be enjoyed.

Plans Are VOh' WeH Under Way Jor
 Enfe710ining the General Assembly
PRAYERS WILL BE OFFERED IN
 PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES TO- DAY FOR DIVINE GUIDANCE IN DELIBERATIONS OF ASSEMBLY.

In Birmingham, and all over the broad south Presbyterians are quietly preparing for the forty-seventh annual general as- sembly and especially will this be the case in the churches on this and next Sunday. Between the hours of Il and P o'clock today in every church, from the countryslde 10 the large city, from the Pacific to the Atlantic, from the gulf to the Mason and Dixon line, prayers will be offered for the mercy of the Lord and guidance in the actions of his coun- oil.
 Each will carry out the promptngs of these instructions passed by the last as- semby:
 "Whereas, the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States fully recognizes the efficiency of the prayers Of Gods people, and the necessity of divine guidance in it's own delibera- tions.
 'Therefoie be it resolved, That the gen eral assembly recommend to all the churches under its care to offer special prayer during the devotions of the Sab bath preceding the meeting of the gen eral assembly in each year. that God would of his great mercy so give the general assembly that wisdom that cometh from above, and so direct all it's plans, discussions and decisions as to promote his own glory and to advance the kingdom of Jesus on earth"

Services of Unusual Importance.

Especially will this prayer be offered since the ministers consider this one of the most vital sessions ever held, re- quiring unusual dellberaton and the set tlement of some of the most important issues that ever presented themselves.
 For the past few weeks the Presby teran papers have been full of argu- ments pro and con on the great subject of closer relations. Ministers and lay men have become highly wrought up on the subject, some of them declaring that now Is the time when the southern church should take the forward step and join hands more closely with her sister de- nominations. Some point with horror to any action whatever Others ask for inn mediate organic union. Others cry hot ly that such a thought is against prin ciple. Some point to the articles of agree ment claiming them to be the key to the situation, while a great number pick flaws and objections in these same carefully prepared articles.
 Since they will either be adopted or re- jected at this session, and every presby- tery has sent earnest overtures to the assembly for and against them 1t will be of interest to every member of the South ern Presbyterian, the Reformed church in America, the Presbyterian church, U. s. A., the United Presbyterian church, the reformed church in the United States, and the Associated Reform church, to weigh the articles themselves.
 Committees from all these churches met in 1906 in Charlotte, N. C., and after three days conference the following articles were adopted:

 '13 When the representatives of three of the churches, at a meeting of either the council or its agencies, requests a unit vote by churches upon a pending motion. the vote shall pc taken.
 '14 The council shall have power to make such regulations and bylaws as shall be deemed necessary for the con duct of it's business.
 '15 After this council shall have been constituted any church holding the re- formed faith and Presbyterian policy may be received into the council by 2. majority of the representatives of the churches voting by the unity rule and upon it's adoption. of the articles of agreement
 .16. Any church in the council may withdraw therefrom on notice officially given, and on its observance of the same constitutional steps as were followed in it's adoption of these articles.
 '17 Any amendment to these articles proposed to the council, shall before it's adoption be approved by the council and receive the consent of two-thirds of the constituent churches acting in accordance with their respective constitutions. When the council shall have been notified of such consent it shall declare the amend ment to be a part of the articles of agreement.
 '1S These articles of agreement shall go into effect when any two or more churches shall adopt them by proper ac- tions and elect their representatives in the maAner herein provided.
 s'The above articles were adopted at Charlotte, N. C., March 16 by the com mites on closer relations of the various churches.
