These burning- words from the lips of
John Wltherspoon, one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence, attest the
spirit of American Presbyterlnnlsm during
the struggle of the colonies for Independ
ence, for besides being the only clergyman
who signed the declaration, he was the
moderator of the first general assembly,
which was held In Philadelphia In 17X3, a
few weeks after the American constitution
was adopted and which he had no little in
fluence In framing For the first fifty-five
years the assembly met In Philadelphia
every yesr, with five exceptions, and that
city Is affectionately termed the "Mother
of Presbj terlanlsm. '
Cathedral" Ha!Mltigs.
Two movements towards having a ca
thedral church building have been started,
one in Washington by Justice Harlan and
the other In New York by Dr. Howard
Dufrleld and the subject will be one of
several brought before the Presbyterian
general assembly, which will be opened
next Thursday morning In the Auditorium
In this city. Justice Harlan bases his claim
upon the fact that In the national capital
there Is a field of commanding and strnt
eglc Importance for the assertion and vin
dication of the doctrines and mission of the
chuich of Christ. His plan Includes the
establishment of a church large enough
and sufficiently well endowed to enable It.
In the name of -a common Presbyterianlani
to do a full share of the work of Influencing
the guiding life of the nation at Its govern
mental center. Dr. Dufrleld believes that
the old First church of New York is today
practically a cathedral church and only
needs an endowment to enable it to ful
fill all that could be expected from the
chi(rch which It la proposed to erect In
Washington. When the Washington plan
was laid before the last assembly it whs
opposed on the ground thnt it seemed to
be connected with the establishment of
elaborate forms and ceremonies , which
would be saddled upon the Presby terian
church if the proposed cathedral were
erected.
"I despise forms and ceremonies of wor-
! ship In the church," said Justice Harlan
In reply. "The proposed church Is not to
be an historic cathedral. Such a cathedral
Implies ii a ecclesiastical bos and I will
have none of it. We propose to state
what our capital stands -for and what our
duty is us Presbyterians."
Bonk of Worship.
"The Book of Common Worship," which
I a committee, headed by Prof. Henry Van
I Dyke of Princeton, has prepared, is to be
eported: it has been printed and Is now
being circulated to see how the churches
and pastors like it. For the name reason
that the cathedral idea Is opposed by some
people, the Presbyterian prayer book will
be opposed, but the committee does not de
sire to have the assembly commend the
book, but simply to leave it to each church
whether or not It shall be used, wholly
or In part, or not at all. Besides the sub
jects mentioned nearly a score more were
I referred to special committees to submit a
j report this year.
The Cumberland I'nlon project has been
making steady progress for three years,
i and it Is well-nigh certain that both as
semblies will now conclude its arrrange
ments looking to one assembly Instead of
two next year. The Cumberland peoplu
are not a unit upon the question, but the
Northern Church la practically unanimous.
The temperance discussion is ulways a
lively one. It was charged, a year ago.
that at an unnamed university many of
the graduates and older students drink at
social functions, and In saloons. The as
sembly expressed its deep regret that this
should be done and called upon college
and university trustees to prevent m far
as possible the drinking of wine and liquor
by tbeir students, and to discourage the
os of spirituous liquors by their gradu
ates. The assembly also passed a strong
resolution against the sale and use of to
bacco in any form.'
Promise uf Ur Moines.
Dcs Moines has eighty-nine church edi
fices, aeven of which ure Presbyterian.
These, acting in conjunction with a com
mittee of the synod of Iowa, feeling the
need of the .Inspiration and helpfulness
such a body as the general assembly would
bring, and especially since the synod of
Iowa, with its more than 46.000 Presby
terians, has never been privileged to enter
tain the assembly, invited the general as
sembly this year to hold its session iu this
city.
We pledge as a meeting place one of
the finest and best equipped auditoriums In
the west, seating l,00i; also suitable equip
ment with which to conduct the business
of the assembly; to provide for the officers
of the assembly all, of the foregoing with
out charge; to comfortably entertain the
assembly at the rate of $1.50 per day for
each commissioner; also to meet the or
dinary business expenses of the body."
With this generous offer the committee on
Invitation won the applause and votes of
the commissioners a year ago, and this In
spite of pressing invitations from several
other cities.
The aaeemhly will be opened with a ser
mon by President Moffat of Washington
and Jefferson college in Pennsylvania. Sev
eral men have bean selected, by their
friends, to succeed Dr. Moffat when he
lays down the gavel on Thursday after
noon. Among them are the Rev. James
M. Barclay. D. D., of Detroit; Hunter
Corbet I. a missionary In China for more
than forty years; John F. Hendy, D. D..
of Jefferson City, Mo., and Albert B. Mar
shall of Minneapolis, if the foreign mis
sionary runs It seems likely that he will be
elected.
A committee of nine, with the moderator
aa chairman. Is to report on arrangements
that they were directed to make for the
celebration of the auOth anniversary of what
Dr. Roberts claims is the oldest presbytery
in the country, which wss organised in
Philadelphia in the First church In the
spring of 170. it is understood thst Thurs
day, May U. will be "Presbyterian Day."

Since the corporate title of the general
assembly carried the Initials "TJ. 8.." It la
generally known that there Is one flourish
ing church belonging to It, which Is In Can

Pangerous Kidney Diseases
Cured.
WHKN the kidneys become affected by
catarrh, either from colds, overwork,
or un extension of catarrh from some
other organ, they fail to perform their
normal functions.
It Is the work of the kidneys to excrete
from the blood many of the poisons which
accumulate on the body.
If the kidneys ftjll in their work, the
poisons accumulate to such an extent as to
cause convulsions, which often prove fatal.
Pernua. by relieving the kidneys of their
congested and catarrhal conditions, leaves
them free to act in a normal nninner.
It also strengthens the action of the
heart, equalizing the circulation of the
blood in nil parts of thes ystem.
A remedy thnt relieves catarrhal derange
ments of the kidneys should certainly be
considered a household remedy. Pernua Is
such a remedy.
