This being Palm Sunday, it is fitt ing that we consider the Church Triumphant. Peter writes churches he had founded Jn Asia Minor of some fiery trial that had come upon them, or would come. And he ex horted them to stand firm in view of the blessings that would come to them in the better world. In Revelation we learn of the heav enly glory in the great hereafter. As the inspired seer, St. John, look ed off from Patmos, the isle of his banishment, he saw the New r Jer usalem, and a vast multitude _that no man could number, standing be fore the throne, clothed in white robes, with palms* in their hands. What a Palm Day indeed!

NEWS—SHORTS. 9c and 35c Returns Indicate Voters To Stick By State Democratic Party Columbia, March 23. — Scattered returns from the State Democratic party’s 1,530 precinct meetings indi cate South Carolinians may adhere to the state party’s traditions. Wfiether to stick with their state party or desert it for the National party has been an issue since 1948. The local clubs held their biennial reorganization get-togethers Friday and Saturday. Delegates elected to the 46 county conventions will de- terrriine the party’s course for two more years. Most precinct resolutions reported were in support of the State party and its 1949 stand against President Truman and the National party Civil Rights program, a program opposing segregation of whites and Negroes. Resolutions favoring following the National party stand were adopted at a precinct in Greenville, one in Chester and several in Spartanburg counties. A Richland county precinct quick ly killed such an offering by Maxie Collins, self-styled pro-Trumaq lead er in the state. In its 1948 stand, the State party convention directed the state execu tive committee to oppose Truman and support Governor Thurmond for President. It opposed Truman— Then, after Trumaji was nominated, a Southern States’ Rights group selected Thur mond as its presidential candidate. The State party supported him, 102,- 607 votes to 34,423 votes for Truman. Since then, pro-Truman sperkes- men in the state have urged South Carolinians to desert their State par ty's adoptett principits iamd instead to support the National party.
