“It Is Our Business To
Serve You”
SMITH ASSAILS PLAN
TO MERGE METHODISTS
Darlington, Oct. 15.—Urging the
continued existence of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, United
States Se nator E - D - (Cotton Ed)
Smith, of gouth Carolina, speaking
jat Darlington courthouse this after,
noon appealed vigorously to his list
eners not to “let anyone purge the
Southern Methodist from their belief
and their faith in the South.”
Senator Smith spoke at a meeting
sponsored by the Southern Methodist
Laymen’s organization.
“I feel so intense about the thing,”
he shouted, “that it is hard for me
to differentiate. 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.”
