an Air Force manual implying
C ON m unist inflltration in
American churches has been
injected into the Tooth General
Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States
(Southern).
Two resolutions, taking op-
posite stands, have been intro
duced and referred to a
committee which is scheduled
to report to the assembly OF
511 voting commissioners Mon
day.
Neither resolution asks the
assembly to take an outright
stand now. Instead, they ask
an investigation over the next
year and a report to the 1861
assembly.
The Rev. John w. Richard
son, of Westminster Presby-
terian Church in Atlanta
introduced one Of the resolu-
tions last night. 1t calls for
an investigation by six lawyers
or judges into the church's
affiliation with the National
Council of Churches.
The other resolution, by Will
liam L. Van Auken of Houston
Tex, says the Presbyterian
Church is concerned over
charges against the leaders OF
the National Council and asks
an investigation of such charges
as generally stated in the Air
Force manual and specifically
stated by other sources.
In a report to the assembly,
the stated clerk. DR.. James A.
Millard, jr.. of Atlanta, said the
889,196 members gave a record
$S8, ,339. 300 to the church last
year. Per capita giving was a
record $99.34.

But under the present church
structure only a bishop in the
Jurisdiction, in this case the
Northeastern Jurisdiction, may
be appointed to a vacancy. This
prevents the crossing of juris-
dictional lines for a bishop.
The church today is divided
INTO five geographical jurisdic-
tions, composed mainly OF
white congregations, and a
Nationwide Central Jurisdic-
ton for most of its 397, 900
Negro members.
Bishop Oman, recognized as
a world leader not only in
Methodism but also in Protes-
tantism, will retire at the meet
ing of the Northeastern Juris-
diction June 1919 at American
University.
Under church law. only bish-
ops, or a new bishop to be
elected at the meeting, in the
Eastern States can take his
place.
Leaving personalities aside,
many delegates believe no geo.
graphical restrictions should
be placed upon the selection of
a bishop for a post. They argue
certain men are more naturally
fitted for particular assign
ments than others, by reason
of interest, background and
special ability.
The Washington Area as
signment, in this view, has pc
culiar problems as the Nations
Capital and calls for a bishop
possessing distinctive qualifi-
cations.

UNION HOTEL

A meeting of "a number
of gentlemen" in the County
courthouse more than three
quarters of a century ago
led to formation of the
Montgomery County National
Bank, now one of the county's
most solid financial institutions.
Rockville was little more than
country village with a few
hundred inhabitants, but despite
the rural nature of the commu.
nifty, the need for a bank was
recognized.
Thus, according to the Off
cial minutes of the organization
meeting on November 10, 1883,
"a number of gentlemen inter-
ested in the organization of a
National Bank for Montgomery
County assembled in the court
house here this am. Judge
John A. Lynch, of Frederick
City, was called to the chair.
1t was resolved to request the
comptroller of the currency to
furnish the necessary papers
for organizing the Montgomery
County National Bank of Rock
vile, Md"
From this meager beginning
emerged an institution that was
able to show assets of $13,441,-
1851 at the close of business
on June Is of this year.
Charter Issued In 1884

topped by tall steeple. 1t was
adjacent to a more recently con-
structed building occupied by
Wilson's drug store and it re-
manned the headquarters of the
Montgomery County National
Bank until 1904.
In the intervening years,
Rockville grew and so did the
bank. One of the early i'm
provements to the inner facili-
ties of the bank is noted under
date of September II, 1884:
"It was authorized to pur-
chase a clock and water cooler
for the bank"
This was just a small step
amid many giant strides which
marked the banks progress
until, in December, 1903. 1t was
noted:
ut is the unanimous sense of
this board that our banking
building is too small and that
it does not afford proper facili-
ties for the transaction of the
business of the institution"
In the spring of 1904 the mat
ter was turned over to an archi-
tect and ground eventually was
broken for the new bank later
in the same year on the corner
where 1t is now located. Bank
personnel made the move to the
new quarters when it was COM
pleted in the following year,
and the farsightedness of those
planners Is evident in the
bright, airy surroundings where
the business of the Montgom-
cry County National Bank still
is conducted.
