was low, but passionate.

slated for an address.
Missionaries from way out of the
way corners of the world are here,
and all races, nations and tongues
are represented. Some of them are
visiting the United States for the first
time in many years and there were
many affecting scenes as long sep
arated brethren of the church met in
joyful reunion.
The assembly opened with the an
nual sermon of the Rev. DR.. William
Henry Roberts, of Philadelphia, who
is moderator, stated clerk and secre-
tary to all the twenty-five special
committees. Many important mat
ters will be considered during the
convention, which will last until
early next month. The union of the
Presbyterians with the Cumberland
Presbyterians will come up again for
discussion, many of the latter
churches, especially in the South,
having refused to ratify the union.
An effort to conciliate these warning
factions will be made by the assem-
bly,. Among the entertainments
planned for the guests are receptions
and motor car rides and an excursion
to Fort Leavenworth.

Stylish Coats
and New Wraps

wear over light fluffy dresses. While
not exactly new, they are made with
the wing sleeve of last summer, are
hand embroidered, and appliques of
beautiful lace and sometimes a
brightly lined hood will be added.
Pongee is used as frequently for
the cape as for the new coats, and
the bordered pongees are novelty
for these wraps. They should be
very full and a soft clinging variety
of the material should be used that
will fall in long graceful lines.
Lace coats are extensively worn,
made up over a color or a self-colored
lining. Cluny, Irish and Guipere
laces are the favorites for such coats.
and though they are the height of
elegance in themselves. yet braiding
is seen even here.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 21.-With
songs of praise and prayers for di-
vine guidance in its deliberations, the
12Oth general assembly of the Pres
byterian Church of the United States
convened in Kansas City today. The
city is thronged with a multitude of
visitors, numbering several thou
sands, including clergymen and mis-
sionaries from all parts of the world.

edifice in which many political and
other gatherings of national import
ance have been held. is the scene of
the great concourse of Presbyterians,
which is the second since the con-
solidation of the Presbyterian and
Cumberland Presbyterian churches.
One and quarter millions of mem
bers are represented by the delegates
gathered here today. All of the
southern and southeastern states are
represented, for the first time, at this
assembly, making it the largest con-
vention in the history of the de-
nomination.

WILL REPUBLICANS
REPUDIATE ROOSEVELT?
Especial to The sentinel.)

Washington. May 21.-Senator
Robert l.. Taylor of Tennessee de-
livered his maiden speech in the
senate yesterday his subject being
THE Tariff and Currency Legisla-
ton which he made entertaining
by many striking and humorous ref
erences to the policies of the Repub-
lican party.
Mr.. Taylor drew a parallel between
the solar system regulated by cen
tripetal and centrifugal forces and
the government, the federal power
being the centripetal and the states
power the centrifugal force. He de-
clared that as the confederacy was
an emphasis of the force seeking
disntegration the federal power, rep
resenting the other extreme, is now
endangering the rights of the state.
He said:
Il would not reflect upon the chief
executive of the nation. On the con-
trary l would praise him for the
novel things he has done during his
incumbency as chief for turning on
the light and revealing the enormity
of the crimes his party has COM
mitted.
But our peerless president reach
ed the limit when he saized all the
best reform planks of all the Demo-
cratic platforms of the past and plant
ed himself squarely upon them. Was
there ever a grander spectacle a coup
d. etat than this in the history of
American politics? Are you going
to put his reform policies in your
platform at Chicago? If you are.
why don't you endorse Bryan and be
done with it? If you are not. you will
repudiate your president"
