The essence of it all it what is the best way that you can develop and live your own spiritual life. The idea is to build this spirit ual life on what you and I like to do. “As far as I am concerned the Northern Methodist church or any other branch of the Methodist church can serve God just as they see fit. I’ll serve Him as I see fit. If they take our church property they can’t take us and for the love of Sabbath stay a Southern Methodist church. Don’t let anyone purge the Southern Methodists from their belief and their faith in the South.” v Points of View Poetic Rover (to farmer): “And does this glorious setting sun mean nothing to you?” Farmer (mopping his brow); “I’ll say it does. It means I can even tually unhitlh the. bosses and go home.” Bomb Proof Sitting Rooms LONDON. ENGLAND . . .
