by the way... Bv DOFUS A. SANDERS ELECTIONS Thore are two important el ections coming up in the near future: national, state and county general election on Nov ember 5, city general election on November 12. To be able to cast a ballot in either election, a votetr must have thn new-type card regis tration certificate. The old yellow paper certificate is out of date and will not entitle the holder to vote. Only a few days remain in which to secure the new certifi cate for it must be issued 20 days prior to an election to be valid. A week from Saturday— October 5—will be the last op portunity to get a certificate tu vote in the November 5th election, at which time ballots will be cast for President, U. S. Senator, Congressman from the Third district, two state Senators, county supervisor, member of the State House of Representatives, and members of the county board of educa tion. In the city general election on November 12, three Demo crat candidates oppose three Republican candidates for coun cil seats. The Newberry County Regis tration office, located in the courthouse, is on duty every day during courthouse hours to issue certificates, replace lost certificates, or issue change of precinct certificates. If you intend to vote, be sure to get your certificate by the deadline, October 5. MONTREAT—AGAIN Some weeks ago I wrote about the psychedelic goings- on at Montreat, assembly grounds for Southern Presbyterians. The information published was from the Presbyterian Journal, the outspoken voice of conser vatism in the Southern Presby terian Church. The Journal has since been deluged with letters about the “worship services” at Montreat—most of them saying, “I was there, and you told it the way it was.” I had a letter from a Presby terian friend who was there, and she said, “All the Journal -aid about Montreat was true and then some. Many preachers a re upset and mad about it . . . bus of good ones yet.” She asked that, since I puh- li-hed the “bad part” —that is, actually what took place, that I also publish the fact that the great majority of Presbyterians do not and did not approve .-ueh activities. She refers spe- r fically to the article by Dr. Nelson P>> 11 in the September dth issue of the Journal, but onfort unately theie is insuffi- > ent room to carry Dr. Bell’s excellent story «.n Montreat. To substantiate th- fact that Pteshytenans are FINALLY beginning to get concerned a~ L cut what i happening t 1 Sl'e-.r chu rch, the ,L carnal re port- in its last issue that since publication of what went on in Montreal, more than 5000 new subscription- have poured in — and that’.- in one month’s time. It seems that finally Presby terians are learning that what the Journal’s editor, Dr Aiken Taylor, ha- been Dying to tell them for years i- ‘ruth rather than opinion. This .-ame -oil of thing, of course, is going on in all of the protestant denominations to more or less degree. It would benefit not only Presbyterians, but all church members, to read the Presbj terian Journal in order to keep abreast of what i- actually happening to the Christian religion. I’ll be happy to furnish you information a- bout subscribing to the Journal if you are interested.
