CREED STATEMENT
May May BRING STORM
At BAPTIST MEET
Or Ashby Jones Opposes
: All Creeds for His
Denomination

COLUMBUS, Ga, Nov. 19.-(RN
the Associated Press.(--Wlth al
underlying current of expectancy
from the breaking of the feared storm
between the literal and liberal or
thodox factions at the close of the
opening session late yesterday, still
in evidence although not outward
ly. the second day of the Georgia
Baptist convention got under WAY
this morning.
There was no indication early to-
day as to when the storm wouId
break out anew. 1t is believed Oy
those intimately connected with the
workings of the convention that II
will come when the committee az.
pointed to propose principles foi
Baptist institutions reports. No time
is set for the committee to make
known its findings, but it will be
before the meeting ends.
Following the stirring address 1t
DR.. j. D. Nell, for many years pres
ident of the convention, in which he
appealed for a plan of Baptist sal
walton and setting a mark and
making everyone who comes into
our fold or elected or employed by
the convention toe it," DR.. j. 9.
Mcconnell, OF Atlanta, took the
floor. DR.. Mcconnell lined up with
DR.. Nell and it appeared that the
former had the plan in his pocket.
DIR. Jones Takes Issue
Immediately following DR.. Me.
lanta, one of the leading ministers
in the state, took, the floor and an
nounced that he wanted to go on
record Immediately that he was OPP
posed to any and all creeds for the
Baptist faith, as from time irme-
mortal the Baptists had not had q
creed and that he desired to an
noInce his independence and faith
in the spirit and genius of the de-
nomination history.
The two contentious which threat t.
en- to take the center of the stage
in the convention are, on one hand
that no man or body of men pos.
sesses the right to make another
mans creed, and on the other hand
that there is no attempt to make a
creed. Both sides emphatically de
clare that they are opposed to a
creedal church, at the same time
there is an inclination favoring lay.
ing down the lines fors the profess
sion and ministry to follow.
The Committee
A resolution was afterward adopt
ed appointing a committee, com,
posed of eleven, TO formulate and
bring back to the convention for
its consideration and action set OF
principles that agents and servants
of the convention must subscribe IT,
and be governed by, in its educa
tional institutions and elsewhere.
The following is the committee:

By Acclamation?

The Republican voters of the coun-
try have expressed their choice of
President Coolidge as the Republican
candidate for the presidency prac-
tcaily by acclamation. That is what
it amounts to. only two states pre-
ferring others. Why would it not be
a good plan, in the interest of party
harmony, for the convention to make
the nomination by reclamation?
Long before South Dakota is
reached in the call Of states on the
nomination President Coolidge will
have received more than a majority
and will have been nominated. When
Wisconsin is reached on the call that
Number will have been increased.

A New Era in Business.

Herbert Hoover believes we are en-
tering upon new era Of business
practices and business ethics. It is
an era in which business will lose
much Of its selffshness and sordid-
ness and in which the spirit Of serv-
ice will prevail. This new era is be-
ing brought about not so much be-
cause mems natures are growing
more kindly and their impulses more
generous, but because business Is be-
ing educated to the advantages OF
fair dealing-because, in fact, it is
being found that a square deal Is the
most profitable deal a business man
can put across.
During the three years Mr.. Hoover
has been Secretary of Commerce
progress made in the cultivation of
this new business spirit has been one
Of his most conspicuous achieve
Inents, Leading business men from
al parts Of the country have come
to Washington, singly and in groups,
and have had the spirit Of service In
stilled into them. Mr.. Hoover has
been In a peculiarly advantageous
position to talk service to these men.

Of business understandingiy. but he
has back of him record Of ten years
of notable service to his country and
to humanity, in which there has been
no element of self profit. He has not
been in the position Of Artemus
Wards patriot, who was willing to
sacrifice all his wife's relatives on the
altar of his country.
But Mr.. Hoover has not, of course,
appealed solely to the altruism of
business. Altruism is fine and en-
nobling, but it cannot be rendered
stockholders as substitute for divi-
dend checks. What he has driven
home to the business world is that
not only in the long run will it be
more profitable. but that in sef-pres
ervation business must correct abuses
from which the people suffer, or the
people, through their government,
will force corrections by processes
which will not be unaccompanied by
punishment and pain. And he has
been able to point to some conspicu-
GUS examples where big businesses
have reformed themselves, and prof
tied thereby.
When business as whole has
caught the spirit of the times and has
learned that the most enduring Sue
cess will flow from the largest meas
ure of service, we will be on the way
to realization of that equality
of opportunity" which Mr.. Hoover
breaches as the American ideal.
