Presbyterian Union Vole Is Due This Month Charlotte, January 8—The fate of the proposed merger of the three major branches of the Pres byterian church will be decided this month. Sixteen years of preparation will be at stake. Southern leaders of the church issued divergent statements as Presbyteries prepared to decide the question. The statements were calm out line of their reasons for their re spective stands. One North Carolina church man, Dr. Henry B. Dendy of Weaverville, flatly predicted that the proposal would be defeated by the Southern church in the next two weeks. Dr. Dendy is secretary of the Association for the Preservation and Continuation of the Southern Presbyterian Church. The clergyman based his pre diction on an 11-1 vote against union by presbyteries of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. (Southern Branch) who have gone on record thus far. Only 11 more negative votes rre needed to defeat merger with the Presbyterian Church in the U. & A. (Northern branch) and the United Presbyterian Church of North America, he noted. Under the plan of union, three- fourths of the Southern church’s 83 Presbyteries must approve the proposal for the measure to be sent on to the denomination’s General Assembly. The secretary of the anti-union association said that votes against the merger so far have exceedei the results forecast by a poll tak en by the Presbyterian Outlook, published in Richmond, Va., and identified in its editorial policies with the pro-union faction. Of the presbyteries which have voted so far, there have been 539 individual votes against union and 98 for, Dr. Dendy said. The poll indicated the vote would bo 98 for and 291 against in those areas, he added. Dr. Dendy predicted the anti union group would get twice as many votes as it needs to defeat the measure, and pro-union statements have be* a issued by both laymen and ministers.

Ridgeway. 8. C. Dishonesty is a luxury beyond the moral means of the alcohol!; who wants to stop drinking, for he can regain his self respect only when he knows he is being abso lutely honest with himself. Hon esty with God and others follow. While honesty may be difficult to attain, it is essential as a first step to sobriety. The alcoholic must be honest in the admission that he is powerless over alcohol, that his life has become unman ageable, and that he needs help. Sadler held that maladjust ments can be corrected by any technique which causes the per sonality to be unified about some profound motivation, such as ideas of self respect, social con sciousness, etc. Dedication to truth can serve to unify the per sonality by ending the conflicts that grow out of self deception, hypocracy, rationalization, false pride. Absolute honesty does not mean that complacency which says: “One thing about me, I am always honest’’ and then goes on to bruise and hurt by rudeness or over frankness. The self right eous type, who is ready to be honest no matter what it costs »there, is often more harmful than helpful. Honesty is not necessarily al. ways telling all one knows about others, regardless of the rum that follows. Honesty, to be helpful, needs to be rooted and grounded in love of God and love of man, so as to do and say only those things that will bring help and happiness. The alcoholic must honestly admit that he is an alcoholic, that he can never again so long as he I lives take even a beer without! courting disaster. He must take an honest look at himself, frankly facing his fail ures, mistakes, and weaknesses. He must take a fearless moral I inventory of himself, accepting the things he cannot change, and striving to change those things which need changing and can be changed. Honesty involves recognition of the need of a higher power than self or man, and surrender to God of the will and the life. Psychiatry and psychology help us to understand ourselves and others; to know “what makes us tick”, but it is the task of re ligion to give the supreme mo tivation which brings unity of personality. Religion does this by showing the individual that he does need God, and that love of God and surrender to God can give that harmony of life and unity of personality so eseential to happiness.
