RAILROAD MAN WHO HAS RE- TIRED AS U, P. PRESIDENT, A. L. MOHLER, PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY MEETS of Pittshurgh Will Be Elected Moderator, BIG ISSUES T0 BE CONSIDERED Atlantic City, N. J., May 18.—Inter [ est in the first day's sessions of the | Presbyterian assembly which began its 128th annual meeting here today, centered in the clection of a moder v. J. Ross Stey ens, president of Princeton Theologi among the 2,000 delegates predicted that the a ator to succeed the T cal seminary., Leaders sembly would set a precedent by se lecting the Rev. W, L. McEwan of Pittsburgh, Tt is customary to alter- nate between the east and west in | filling the highest office in the gift of the church. Other candidates prominently mentioned include Rev Dr. John A. Marquis, Cedar Rapids, la., and Rey, Dr, Hugh A, Walker of | Los Angeles, A successor to the late Dr. Noble of San Francisco, the per manent clerk, was also to be chosen at today's sessions, The gathering was considered one of the most important in the history of the church. Among the matters to be considered are an overture from the Cincinnati Presbytery for the ex pulsion of the New ani on charges of ordaining to the minis- try men wlw,?‘lp«l jp many of the essential beliefs of the church, and the proposed consolidation of the col- lege board and the board of educa- tion, War and Christianity. The reports that have been pre pared by various committees for con sideration during the week reflect some of the new phases of church problems and particularly some of the effects which the great war in Europe has had on church work These reports compiled in a book of 200 pages, which were placed in | the ‘hands of the delegates to the as- sembly here today, include some optimistic views as to the effects which the war is having and will continue to have on religion. The exccutive commission of the alliance of the reformed churches through- out the world reports “Instead of showing the failure of Christianity, this war has revealed the strength of Christianity, for Christianity has been the only bond that has not snapped because of this war. Out of the present condi tion in Europe three facts are emerging that bear on the religious situation I'he first issthat religion over there has hecome largely anthropy I'he people have passed from faith to works.
