History Repeating Itself

The Southern branch of the great
Presbyterian church was born in the
midst of an awful war. Because of
certain resolutions adopted by the Gen
eral Assembly in Philadelphia in the
early part of 1851, deciding the politi-
cal question to what government the
allegiance of Presbyterianism was
due, and Ito make that decision a
condition of membership in the
church. the southern members of the
Assembly withdrew. On December
4th. 1861, the representatives of forty
seven southern Presbyteries met in
Augusta. Ga. and formed the first
General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian Church.
Its growth has been very rapid; its
forty-seven Presbyteries have grown
to eighty seven; its seven hundred
ministers are now more than two
thousand: its seventy thousand mem
bers are now about four hundred thous-
and. 1t has always been noted for its

More Meat, Less Wheat

The food administration has an
nounced the temporary suspension of
the meatless meals and the special re-
strictions of the use of pork on Satur-
day. All restrictions on the use of
mutton and lamb have been removed
and these NAV now be served even on
meatless Tuesdays.
Increased meat production, and the
necessity for still greater saving in
wheat, are given as the reasons for the
change Increased meat consumption,
it is believed, will of itself curtail the
use of wheat, and for the present no
new restrictions will be added against
the use of the latter.
For the present the meatless and
wheatless orders are as follows:
Mondays Wheatless all day
Tuesdays Meatless all day with
wheatless supper
Wednesday Wheatless all day
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays one wheatless meal each day.
Pies and pastries may be served on
wheatless days when not less than 335 =
of other cereals are mixed with the
wheat flour The above schedule is fer
hotels and homes alike. Violations are
punishable with heavy penalties
