Pledging itself to "stand foursquare against mob violence for any" cause," the society went on xecord as opposing "all emotional upheavals based on racial prejudice in our state, in our country, and in our church."

UesolutlAHs IMlaw: Without offering any excuse for the people of our state, we, members of the Methodist Missionary I Society, working toward a Christ^ian America^ condemn unreservedly the three iynchings which have been committed in Georgia this year. We recognize that such vio- " lotions of all the principles for which stand as Christians and Americans will not cease, but will continue to grow as long as hatred, fear, nod racial prejudice are used as weannns in nnlitifial^amnaiurK! Resolutions against lynching are ineffective unless we fake our resolutions a passionate convention which will not let us hold our peace as long as lynching are committed. ?We-pledge ourselves to?stand -foursquare against mob violence for any cause.

In thanking our friends, both white and colored, in putting over the high class enlvi tainment for the Palmetto Medical -Association, I know of no better subjoct u"der ' which to describe it than "The Spirit of Camden." The casual observer walking down our main street on. a calm w, jnornirvg and looking up at the beautiful bronze insignia of King Haielar that moves so ce^tlv the slightest breeze that song birds pcrced on the arrow of his' mighty bow arc not disturbed in their songs, would wonder"-why the founders of such a beautiful city would spend such an outlay just to tell which way the wind is blowing w*hcn the wave of the straw or thc leaver on the trees tell thc storv as well. But?let the same Observer remain on watch as the gentle breeze increases to a stiff wind and t)he song-birds scatter to their wind increases n velocity?the , ominous clouds now "hanging low ?the elements are ' surcharged ' with electricity, while old King Hai^lar,. who never turned his back on a storm, catches a spark from the flashing lightening on thc tip of the arrow and trans, mits it to a bell thirty feet below, which peals out the warning to all that danger is. near. Thus the casual observer discovers that the prime motive of the founders of our city was to teach unborn generations not to turn their back upon the things that tend to the elevation of the people of Camden or anything that will retard the onward march of progress, but face it, face it, with the united efforts that brings success. I This is the "Spirit of Camden!" Now on behalf of the Wateree Medical Society, I take great pleas ure in extending thanks to all who 1 J ~ ~ ? mum our 5US and so kindly came to our rescue by facing and removing all obstacles and thereby causing the historican to write by unanimous consent of the members of the Palmetto Medica Association? "The fortieth session of the Palmetto Association held in Camden, S. C.r on April 28,_ 29, 30, , 1936 the best in its history to date." 1 Finally to paraphrase a Biblical | It is for citizens, both white and 1 colored, to dwell together in unity." J. P.
