SOUTHERN PRESbYTE R|AN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Will Meet in Louisville Thursday.
Will Be Confronted with I'M
portant Questions.
[By Associated Press.l

Louisville, KY, May 15.-With an
extensive program arranged for the
celebration of the semi-centennial OF
the church, and confronted with some
of the most important questions which
have ever demanded its attention, the
fifty-first General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States (Southerp) will convene here
next Thursday. Delegates, both lay
and ministerial, from every section of
the South will be present.
The assembly will be opened at II
o'clock a. m. in the Second Presbyte-
rian church with a sermon by the re-
firing moderator, Rev. Jonathan w,
Bachman, d. d., pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of Chattanooga,
Tenn. Three sessions will be held
daily, the assembly extending through
the following eight days.
Fifty years ago the Civil war
brought about a division of the Pres
byterian church into two branches, one
now known as the Presbyterian Church
in the United States Of America, and
the other as the Presbyterian Church
in the United States. 1t is the tiftieth
anniversary of the establishment OF
the Southern church which will form
feature of the program to be OBJ
served by the general assembly this
wear. On the first evening Rev. Henry
Alexander White d. d., Ii. d., of Co
lumbia, S. c., will deliver an address
on 1.-The Origin of the Presbyterian
( Church in the United States, in which
he will discuss the causes which com
pelled the organization of the Southern
church, the dscouragements under
which the church began to live and
the heritage of her membership from
the Scotch-Irish, the Huguenots AND
the English. On the following morn
ing, May 10, Rev. Theron H. Rice
D. D., of Richmond, Va, will deliver
an address on The History and Prog
ress of the Presbyterian Church in the

The evening of the same day Rev
,Egbert W. Smith, d. D.. of Louisville

SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION
Will Meet May II at Jacksonville,
FIa.-Some Characteristics
OF Baptists.
IBy Associated Press. ]

Jacksonville, Fla, May 15.-Greater
in number than the British parliament
or the congress of the United States,
the Southern Baptist Convention will
meet here on May II, with delegates
present from every state in the South.
The convention is made up of mes
sengers, or delegates, from churches,
associations, state conventions, mis-
sionary societies and Sunday schools.
All Baptist churches are independent.
Therefore the convention has no au'
thority to bind the churches in its ter
ritory Its action is advisory, not COM
pulsory. Ministers and laymen are adj
mitted into the convention on the same
basis without any official distinction
between the clergy and laity.
According to the best available rg-
ures, there are about 6,2S0,649 Bap-
lists. Of this number, 4,110,S73 are in
the South; 2,21S,911 of the Southern
Baptists are white, 1881 1902 colored.
In the Northern states there are l.
1928 Baptists. There are 22,43S
churches connected with the Southern
Baptist Convention. They make up the
largest religious denomination in the
South. The Baptists are said to have
39.5 per cent of the church member
ship of the South, the Methodists 265
per cent. Catholics 1873 per cent, Dis
ciples 80 per cent, Presbyterians as
per cent, Episcopalians IL per cent
and all others SO per cent.
Roger Williams was not the first
Baptist, as some enormously suppose
The history of the church runs bach
for hundreds of years before his day
John Runyun, who lived nearly an hun
dred years before Williams was born
was a Baptist. Williams was, however
the first to become a Baptist on Ameri
can soil, and he organized the frs
American Baptist church in PrOvi
dence. r. l. The first Baptist churcl
in the South was constituted in SOutl
Carolina in 1852. The first established
in North Carolina was in 1853, in Wiz
ginia IVA, in Tennessee 1870, in Geor
gia I'LL, in Mississippi 1880, in Ken
lucky 1881, in Alabama 1903, in Flor
ida 1888. In 1862, when the great Bap
fist persecution began in Virginia
there were only 5000 Baptists in tn
whole country. In twenty-four year
they had increased to $4,000. In 179
there were $4,000, in 1912 $4,000, il
1926 23S,0O0, in 1910 $4,000, and i
1853 1,25S,765. Today there are in tn
South alone 1901 ,166.

MOTHERS DAY At UNION HILL.

Perhaps the largest crowd ever seen
at Union Hill assembled Sunday even
ing to celebrate Mothers Day. In adj
dition to almost the entire population
of the neighborhood, old and young,
there were large delegations from
Bryan and College, and sprinkling
from other communities. The women
and children and few men filled the
house, while the most of the men anG
boys stood outside at the windows and
doors, wherever they could see or
hear Notwithstanding these unfavor-
able conditions, aggravated by the
sultry weather, good order prevailed
throughout the entire two hours oc-
cupied by the program.
The usual weekly program Of the
Union Hill League formed the basis
of the exercises, which consisted
chiefly of recitations by the little tots
and readings and esasys by the adult
members, interspersed with music;
the selections and original contribu-
lions having a bearing on the central
idea of the occasion-mother love.
The special features were addresses
by Mr.. F. d. Steger, general secretary
of the college Young Mems Christian
Association, and County Attorney La
mar Bethea, of Bryan. The presiding
genius and interlocutor was, OF course,
the venerable president of the league,
Mr.. r. r. Royal, through whose eff
forts chiefly that unique religio-social
organization was founded and by
whose untiring energy and persever-
ance the enthusiasm is maintained and
i its influence for good is widened and
deepened from year to year.
Mr.. Steger took a comprehensive
view of mother love, including the ami
NAL instinct, citing the quail, the bear
and other birds and beasts as exam
pies. He then briefly reviewed the in
fuence of mother love in forming the
characters of the great men of history,
mentioning Cornelia, the mother of
the Gracchi. Queen Victoria and other
mothers who won renounwn by devo-
ton to their children. The address
was embellished with numerous quota
tons of prose and poetry germane to
the subject.
Mr.. Bethea's address was practical,
consisting largely of personal reminis-
cences of his own and other good
mothers whom he has known. This
practical method of treating the sub
iect held the interest of the audience
and made strong impression,

A greater number of pitchers will be
employed by the major league clubs this
year than ever before. Several managers
had moro than fifteen pitchers at the
southern camps, and all the team leaders
declare they will carry an extra supply OF
box men. The demand for pitching ma

is fattening the expense accounts Of the
