Gerald has long held a strong con
trolling hand on the S. 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.

JESUS IS CRUCIFIED
Lesson for March 29: Matthew 27:
32-44, 54
Golden Text: Romans 5:8
• Nearly two thousand years ago a
justling throng surged out of the
gates of Jerusalem to behold a pit
eous spectacle, that of the Saviour of
the world crucified between two
thieves. 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.
