First the Government is paying two sets Of officials for
gathering statistics two sets OF officers for abulatng and
computing totals sets Of editors for getting out
for reports and paying twice for publication nj sats
tics covering the same subject matter, while the WORK
OF one set or the other possibly both, is incorrect
Second since at least one set Of figures must be in

act upon information they being msed to
their injury they do not act upon the information the
compilation Of the figures serves useful purpose.

But two months have passed without mistakes, with a
unity Of purpose in doing away with the maladminstra

on March 2S the records OF the
Stated Clerks Office showed that up
to that time out Of 302 Presbyteries
1T had voted on the question Of the
eligibility OF women and 1O1 on the
question relative to evangelical
union The vote at that time on the
eligibility of women was IS in
favor and 32 opposed; on evangelical
union, 65 in favor and SO opposed.
Important committee reports to
be received will include one from
the Committee on Reorganization
Of the Boards and Agencies, of
which DIR. Timothy Stone is chair
man; another from the executive
commissions committee on the de-
partment of publicity. The eXecu-
tive commission recently approved
a report submitted by the publicity
committee and unanimously voted
to recommend to General Assembly
the continuation of that department
and of the magazine.
The question of meeting debts of
the Presbyterian Church and its
agencies probably will be brought
up. A plan suggested for the re-
funding of the obligations to the
Interchurch World Movement from
the funds Of the boards and agencies
has not met with the approval of
some of these boards and agencies,
and a way for payment must be
found. Through the cooperation
of the New Era Movement approx
imately s420,O 900 had been paid up
to the last of March on the Inter
church million-dollar underwriting.
other debts of the New Era Move
ment and the boards of foreign and
home missions amount to total of
nearly s1,5OO,O0O, for which no pro-
vision has been made in the 1921-22
budget. Since the budget committee
voted away the 100000 appropria-
ton for the New Era Movement in
the 1921-22 budget, the question OF
the financing of this agency is again
expected. The 100000 was divid
ed, 60 per cent. to the Board of Min
isterial Relief and Sustentation, and
40 per cent. to the board Of publica-
ton and Sabbath school work.

PRESBYTERIAN
MAY ASSEMBLY
Many Presbyteries Have In
dorsed OvertureS to be
Presented
ONE ON ELIGIBILITY
OF WOMEN DEACONS

NEW YORK. May 12.-At a
meeting of the Presbytery of Brook
lyn-Nassau in the Spencer Memorial
Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, the
Rev. DR.. William Carter, pastor of
the Throop Avenue Church, was
unanimously indorsed for the office
of Stated Clerk of the General AS
sembly, which holds its 1880 meet
ing at Winona Lake, Ind, May
19 to 20.
DIR. Carter was elected a commits
sioner and instructed to present to
the Assembly his overture to elect
every commissioner for two success
i've annual Assemblies instead of for
one only as at present. Nine large
Presbyteries have already favored
this change in the form Of Presby-
terian government relatives to rep
resentation in General Assembly,
inasmuch as it is believed that in
this way at east half Of the COM
missioners will be acquainted with
the rules and tasks OF the General
Assembly and can aid in causing
the whole body to function more
eulclently.
If this overture is approved, the
Presbyteries will in 1922 elect COM
missioners for two years, and one
half of the commissioners at 1922
Assembly will serve again in 1928.
To make it effective, a change in the
constitution will be necessary. The
Presbyteries indorsing this overture
include Brooklyn Nassau, Cayuga,
Cincinnati. Mirneapolis, Morrison,
Orange, St. Louis, Monmouth, Syra-
cuse and GAINESVILLE.
Eligibility of Women.
Two important reports will be
made at General Assembly relative
to the success or non-success of the
overtures sent down by the 1920
Assembly regarding the eligibility of
women to serve as deacons and the
desirability of cooperating in the
evangelical plan of church union

two-day evangelistic session.
A joint pre-Assembly conference
will be held by the board of foreign
missions and the woman's board of
foreign missions. Other boards and
agencies having professionally gath
erings are the general board of edu-
cation, the board of church erection,
the committee on Sabbath observ-
ance, the mems work committee,
the New Era committee and the
committee on vacancy and supply.

sembly conference has been prepar-
ed by the New Era movement and
generally approved, providing for a
gathering on Wednesday, May IS.
Regular sessions Of the General
Assembly begin May 10. As usual,
many overtures will be presented.
In order that Presbyterian funds
may be conserved and used only for
the support of General Assembly
boards and agencies, Rochester
Presbytery has indorsed an overture
asking that there be included in the
Presbyterian annual budget only
those organization directly under
General Assembly control. Michigan
Synod asks that the name of the
board Of missions for freedmen be
changed to one more pertinent to its
scope and fields of work among the
Negroes.
Several Presbyteries ask for the
merging Of the Presbyterian board
of freedmen with the Presbyterian
board of home missions. Several
ovcrtures deal with the Stated
Clerks office. One asks for the re-
organization of the General Assem-
bly's executive Offices. Colorado
Presbyterians are anxious that
greater emphasis be placed on
Christian education, and Colorado
Synod has prepared an overture that
the attention Of college students be
turned to Christian statesmanship.s
Other overtures relate to minis

Union and Evangelical churches; to
the taxation on the churches by

I was in Paris, and had to
cross the English Channel. II
was Thursday, the twelfth day
of the month. and I planned to
go next day. In the hotel lobby
there were a good many people
who also wanted to get to Lon
don as early as possible, but few
Of them were going next day. It
was Friday, the thirteenth, and
they would not risk ii.
So we, who sailed, had plenty
OF room. 1 have crossed the
English Channel number Of
times, and seen that body of
water in all of its moods, includ-
ing those that give it its bad rep
utation, but never have l seen It
so gentle a mill pond as on that
Friday tho thirteenth. Never
have ] made the trip so comfort
ably as on that day.
The fine weather did not last.
The people who feared to risk
the boat on Friday encountered
a storm on Saturday, and had
the discomfort Of an overloaded
boat, with most of the passen-
gers looking over the side into
a very angry sea.
The Last supper was eaten
with thirteen at the table, count
ing Judas, and because of that
fact innumerable foolish people
are afraid Of the number thir-
teen. And Loki's banquet with
the gods in Valhalla, as told in
the Morse legend, ended unhap-
PLY for Baldur, the thirteenth.
And as for Friday, that was the
day Of Jesus cruciiXion.
Thirteen is a good and very
lucky number in America. Many
interesting events have occurred
on the thirteenth of the month.
A London newspaper of the year
1876, commenting on 13 as the
number Of the American colon
les, said that 13 was a peculiarly
Yankee number It affirmed that
George Washington had 13 toes
on each foot, the extra ones hav-
ing grown since the Declaration
of Independence: hat 1t took 10
paper dollars to be worth one in
gold; that Mrs Washington had
tom-cat with 13 rings around
his tail, and that every Yankee
family had 13 children, each one
of whom expected to become
a general in the colonial army
or member of Congress.
But Great Britain in her early
days had Thirteen Precious
