EARLY DECLARATION
President Attended Annual Celebra.
ton OF Mecklenberg Document.

Charlotte, N. c.. May 2O.-A cloud
burst broke over tho city this after
noon and caused a panic in the dense
crowd gathered in front of the stand
from which President Taft was review
ing the Mecklenburg celebration pa
rade. No one was seriously hurt.
President Taft's presence in
Charlotte today lent notable interest
to the annual celebration of the sign
ing of the Mecklenberg declaration of
independence, which, it is claimed,
was the first step towards liberty TAX
en- by the American colonists. The
presidents participation marked the
elimination of the three days cele-
bration.
The Mecklenberg declaration long
has been the subject of stubborn con-
troversy. 1t is declared by it's sup
porters to have antedated the famous
Declaration Of July 4, 1776, and hs<,
been denounced as myth" The
differences between the upholders of
the Mecklenberg document and its
critics long have been considered ir-
reconcilable. 1t was with great ella
tion, however, that the people of
North Carolina secured the accept
ance OF President Taft to attend the
festivities of the closing day of the
celebration OF 1905.

The night on board the Mongolian

that the officers assured everyone

withstand the pressure of the ice.
The passengers. however, displayed
admirable patience. Fishermen and

THE WORLD NEEDS
A UNITED CHURCH
Retiring Moderator Of Presby.
terian General Assembly
Points Out Weakness

Denver, Col, May 2O.-Rev. B. P.
Fullerton of st. Louis, retiring mod
orator of the Presbyterian general as
sembly delivered his address at to-
days session. He said in part:
1T is important at a time like ours
in the life of the church that we con-
slider with care some things about
which there is need of a larger and
clearer vision. When accredited min
listers of the church deliberately cast
suspicion upon truth so funda-
mental as the Deity of Christ, is the
time not ripe for the church to de-
clare itself? Arianism is not so bold
now nor so blatant as in the past. 1t
would be less dangerous If it were
Its approach is subtle now, it con-
ceals itself behind plausible theories
and to the initiated appears as we'll
established truth. The hurt, however,
to the cause comes rather from lack
of positive conviction in the church
upon this great doctrine, lack of
we'll defined notions concerning it
which do not hesitate to defend them
selves.
First of all, the church needs to-
day, as 1t has needed in all days,
correct vision of the nature of Christ
and His relations to it. If He is its
head, its foundation, the source of its
life, then it is important that the
vision of Him be accurate; for, If the
foundation be impaired by inadequate
conceptions of it's strength, on what
can we build hope?
First, as to His nature. The
church needs to rediscover His Deity,
for SO long as we question His Deity
we will necessarily be timid and hes
itate when He commands and will
doubt the accomplishment of the tasks
He imposes, but when the church can
say with Thomas, as it's doubts de-
part. My Lord and My Cod nothing
is impossible to it.
Again. Inadequate conceptions of
Christ's Deity becomes the source of
multitude of evils too dreadful with
which to trifle. Among these are in
adequate views of human depravity.
the impotency of man toward good,
the imperative need of an adequate
sacrifice for sin and the all sufficiency
of the atonement made by Jesus
Christ for the worlds sin.
In the second place. we need to
rediscover Jesus Christ as our Re-
deemer. Not only does Chris: sustain
to the church the relationship of Re-
vision of Him as its head.
TO Look Inward.
THE church also needs view of
its own character, functions and re-
sources. What is the church but the
