ooo PAGE EIGHT PRESBYTERIAN — BOARDS TO BE CONSOLIDATED General Assembly of Church Makes Radical Changes in Its Organization DEBATE OVER MOVIES Des Moines, Ia., May 25.—(By the A, b.—Next year’s general as- sembly of the rresbyterian churen in tue U.S. A. will ve held at indianapolis jt was decided by the commissioners here thig morning. Des ‘Moines, la., May 25.—Thirteen boards and other agencies of the ‘yrespyterian cuurch in the United States were eliminated and replaced by four new boards when the one hundred thirty-fourth general as- sembly voted to adopt the principal enacuuag clauses of ie Stone report Gu consuhdation of church agencies. ‘yhis consoliuation, the most radi- cal reorganization step in 134 years’ higvory uf the chureh, precipitated the most spirited debate seen on the floor of the current general assembly. Con- tinuous applause during Dr. John ‘Nimothy Stone’s reading of part 1 of the report, and several test votes on minor issues, indicated early in the afternoon that the 800 odd commis- sioners we-e overwhelmingly in favor of the consolidation. Debate Waxes Hot Minority leaders of standpat tend- encies strove persistently, however, to stem the tide and at least postpone final action on the report ‘until the next session. So fiot did the dehate become at times that it assumed the complexion of a filibuster. ‘They thus managed to defer a vote until time for adjournment loomed up, when a motion for a thirty minute ex- tension was passed. This afforded time for passage of the first three paragraphs of part 1 of the resolu- tions, in accordance with the seriatum rule adopt:d earlier. These three paragraphs contgin the heart of the consolidation action, eliminating the sixiecn cld agencies and creating the four new boards. Anencies Eliminated. ‘The agencies eliminated by the as- sembly’s action are: Board of foreign missions, Roard of home missions. Woman's board of foreign missions, ‘Woman's board of home missions. ‘Board of publication and Sabbath sehenl work, General board of education. Beard of ministerial relief and sus- ‘tation. Board of the church erection fund. Board of missions for freedmen. Board of temperance and moral wel- fare. > ; Permanent ‘committee on evangel- ism. manent work. : Permanent committee on Sabbath observance. Their work will be carried on by the following four ‘boards, of which they will become departments: Board of foreign missions, Nat‘onal board of missions. ‘Board of Christian education. Poard of ministovial relief and, sus- tentation. Remainder Adopted The romainder of the Stone report, entailing a reduction of the agencies ef the ‘Presbyterian church in the U. ‘8S. A. from 16'to 4, and the creation of a general council tio take over ihe functions of executive commission and the .New Era movement, was adopted in its entirety, by the 134th general assembly. According to the constituthon of the church, the section relating to the general council must be voted on by the Presbyteries, The Rey. Gustav 'Briegleb, Pasa- dena, Cal., pastor and movie censor on the Pacific coast, presented an cut- line to be followed in the censorshin of motion pictures as follows: “Elimination of women in abbrev- iated cstumes. (No scenes of drinking or smoking by men or women and no dancing scenes. Abolftion of all ‘ftriangle” plays and all scenes dealing with inharmon ious home life. A ban on crime or underworld film scenarios, Elimination of all death bed “ag- ony” scenes. Boycott ‘Planned, A boycott by the general assem- bly tio be maintained by all constitu- ents of ‘the Presbyterian church against all theaters presenting “pic- tures that ¢:e suggestive and un- clean” was recommended by the board of temperance and moral welfare. Certain interests in the motion pic- ture industries it is charged, in screen presentations “make light of marriage, woman’s virtue, the Lord’s day, the 18th amendment and chas- tity, thus spreading a moral blight across America and striking at the vitals of the nation in suggesting to the youth of the land ruinous habits.” Wxistence of a well organized op- position to all efforts tg ‘cleanse a city of a vile picture,” na the en- trance of the film industry into poli- tics to prevent election of hostile candidates, are also alleged in the report. Debarment of all actors and act- resses of notorious and unsavory mor- al reputation, and infemperate habits was also urged. BILL IS AIMED AT FOREIGN LIFE INSURANCE CO.’S Copenhagen, May 25.—The Danish home secretary is about to introduc? a bill in the Rigsdag to the effect that foreign life insurance companies in fu- ture are to invest the premium reserve of their Danish policies in Danish cur- rency, The existing laws require only a cash deposit of 100,000 kroner (about $20,009), to»transact jife insurance business in Denmark but there is some apprehension that the present exchange position may so develop that those foreign companies, having invest- committee on men’s Million Dollar Oil.

The home secretary thinks it a wise course to adopt to stipulate that foreign companies always have tha necessary kroner enabling them to|‘ meet the claims of their Danisa policy holders immediately. It is expected that those foreign life insurance companies already repre- sented here, if they do not wish to im. mediately to arrange for the necessary deposits, will get ten years time to bring their deposits up to the amount of their premium reserve for Danish policies, If any of the companies are unwill- ing to meet the requirements of the new law, the Danish life insurance council can withdraw their permit to write new insurance here, and can take over the administration of the exist- Ing portfolio. The committee appointed to consid- er the home secretary’s bill has fur- ‘ther proposed that the life insurance companies in future must publisa a full list of their investments, MISS DOWNEY TO DELIVER ADDRESS IN NEW YORK Miss Mary Downey, director of the North ‘Dakota Library Commission will be one of the speakers, of the National Federation of Women’s clubs sessicng at chautauqua, New York. some time during the session begin- ing there June 21. .

She was a student in the night schools at Kulm last_winter. Mrs. Hilliang was not on the sched- uled program of the meeting. Her story came to the ears of one of the delegates interested in the problems of the Night School however. and.she jwas asked to appear. ‘ She told her story willingly,: de- lighted that at this late hour in her life she had been able to master the reading language of her adopted country and proud of the fact that she had stood: at the head of her class, ranking one hundred in each of the final examinations given. She presented herself as an ardent advocate for (North Dakota’s: night schools and declared to the Federa- tion of Women's Clubs representa- ives that next. year she would be both an emmisary and a liason offi- cer to see that every one in Kulm that. could not read or write became a student in the schools during the coming year. The night. school of last winter, was her first opportunity, she said, for such instruction, She has continued her reading, get- ting books from a library'to which an cess and in’ study with the grand- daughter has progressed so” rapidly. ithat she can fead more rapidly than, the girl, reared in the schools of this country.

Some idea of the damage accomplish. ed and of the vast amount of water that has swept down the Father of Waters can be reached when it is con- sidered that the Mississippi teached bank full on March 27 and that on May ‘24, a month and twenty-six days later, an area almost the equal of the state of North Dakota was under water in the territory above New Orleans. The flood has demonstrated that the building of levees cannot restrain sus- tained floods, The building of levees has been in cording to © gent in charge of the army work. The first beginning ‘of levees, however, was. made by the French who built up earth banks along the Mississippi to protect New Or leans as early as 1717. These extend. ed fifteen or‘twenty miles up the stream, a Col. Potter predicted at the begin- ning of the present flood that the levees would stand, especially those on the lower stretches of the river, the place where thé breaks have been the most numerous. Col. Potter at that time took the position, however, that the work would never end, that the work of fighting the floods of the river would go on forever, The windings of the stream were cited by the colonel as the reason why a system of dykes could not be made permanent, ‘With the Missouri at flood stage ot the present time, and with the usual June raises still in prospect, the Irri- gation Congress may have a good ob- ject lesson of the vast amount of water, later needed in the fields of the western part of the state that is con- stantly rushing onward to add itself to the destructive powers of the lower Mississippi. ‘One of the latest inventions is a self-playing cornet.
