PRESBYTERIAN.

> Everybody in Washington is pleased
with the election of DR.. John Timothy
Stone as moderator of the General AS
;sembly. With the special obligations Tor
"a nationwide leadership In the church
affairs, now attached to the ONCE OF
moderator. IL is fair to anticipate In Dr.
Stones administration aggressive energy,
simplicity, and directness, and an I'M
relenting emphasis on efficiency In per-
sonai evangelism.
; The extraordinary task which Atlanta
has undertaken of entertaining three
Presbyterian General Assemblies sinful
ttaneously, and providing likewise for
evening mass meetings in which the
members of all three bodies and the citi-
zenship of Atlanta generally are expect
ed TO join, requires some ususual ar
arangements, among which is the neces-
sity of borrowing a church from another
denomination for the largest of the three
assemblies in question. There is no
presbyterian house of worship in Atlanta
sufficiently ample 10 accommodate the
800 commissioners and corresponding
= members of the assembly u. S. A"
and leave room besides for a large
enough body of onlookers to make good
the claim that the assembly always
meets with open doors and in the public
presence. But happily this requirement
is completely met by the ready loan OF
the great Baptist Tabernacle, which its
congregation offered for the purpose with
cheerful Christian fraternity. This is
the imposing church and hospital COM
bined which DR.. Len Broughton built
shortly before he was called to his pres
ent Passionate in London. The auditor
'ium is spacious enough TO seat all the
commissioners of assembly on the main
floor, and its two large galleries will &C.
commodate spectators and visitors in
hosts. |
