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yellow paper certificate is out
of date and will not entitle the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.
