C. Republi cans, but he’s slipping. v The meeting in Charleston Thurso day was to have read Morris out of the party or asked hmi to resign. It j did neither, because there wasn’t \ enough sentiment to push the issue. The meeting wound up asking Mor ris to call an official meeting at a later date. / Morris had the situation pegged! the day before, however, and blasted i Gerald and his “adherents” for call- 1 ing an unauthorized council. He also i charged Gerald with responsibility | for losing the State to Stevenson | and holding up development of the ( party. The GOP chairman apparently | favors opening the party’s doors ! wide to any and all, while Gerald i seemingly wants to keep it small and J exclusive. The idea of the member-! ship cards was never officially act- j ed on. It was begun when the cards were made up in Charleston and were issued. The issue at stake now is who will control the S. C. Republican party, 1 Gerald or Morirs. And there are increasing reports' from Washington that Gerald is no longer the fair-haired Southerner in the eyes of some top Reppblican brass, despite his long service. One Palmetto Republican goes so far as to report that he saw ram- ^ paign material, supposedly sent out! by Gerald. urging support of the; GOP ticket ^despite their endorse- * ment of the independent slate, on the -desk of Wes Roberts, national GOP chairman. Add to these considerations the fact that Morris lives in Washing ton and hob-nobs with the top Re publicans daily, and the drift is easy to see. „ Approaching this situation from the national GOP view point, it is very touchy—and important. Roberts has said that his party is looking to the South for more strength and that it has hopes of building a sound or-1 ganization. He has been filled in on the local situation by Bill Kimbel of Myrtle Beach, the liaison man between the independent -Democrats and the GOP during the campaign, and Roberts worked closely with McKay to en gineer Eisenhower’s appearance in Columbia. The GOP chairman know’s what’s going on. It adds up to this: Gerald has about had it unless he mends his ways, but the top of the GOP have to be careful how they handle the situation for fear their actions may not be understood by party members in other states. Control of the State party would be the easiest way to handle the problem, thus the tug-o’-war be tween Morris and Gerald. Six-Inch Sermon REV. ROBERT H.

And as Jesus looked upon that sea of faces, not one within his range of vision showed any sign of pity, mercy, and compassion. Instead, they that passed by the cross reviled Jesus and mocked him, saying that he had saved others but could not save himself. As we learn from another gospel, one of the thieves cursed and railed on Jesus, saying, ‘'If thou be God, save thyself and us.” And the other thief rebuked him, saying, “Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we in deed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done nothing amiss.” And then he had prayed Jesus: “Lord, remem ber me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” What his enmeies said of him in bitter taunting and unbelief was in deed true. They unwittingly affirmed what is the very essence of the gos pel, that Jestis had saved others be cause he was unable to save himself. He was unable because of the moral obligation resting- upon him. In the language of an old hymn: “Love so amazing, so divine, de mands my soul, my life, my all.” May we glory in the cross because we find that it is the way that leads home.
