REV.BETTERTON RESIGNS; SAYS BISHOP CANDLER HAS BECOME DICTATOR Sensational Letter From Pastor of Dalton Methodist Church Calls Attention to Heresy Hunting in Church. Declaring Unit Blalinp Wnrren A. Candler la "a dictator and not a lead er," the Rev. Thomas C. Betterton, pas tor pf the First Methodist church of Dalton, has handed a letter of resig nation to the Methodist conference nmr In session In Mllledgevllle, (la. The letter aets forth his reasons for re signing his pastorale, declares that bigotry and tyranny and Intolerance are still alive In the church, and that conference ecclesiastical machines are as possible, if not as numerous, as ma chines In political parties. The letter la aa follows: Mr, Bsttarton's Letter, "I would prefer that the entire mat ter be kept out of tbe papers, but It has already gotten Into one paper, and when; at the approaching session or conference, 1 am located at my own request a question will be raised In the tnlnda of many aa to why I have taken such a step, ‘To begin with, when 1 Joined the conference, fourteen years ago, I was under tbe Impression that It was brotherhood of high-toned, honorable Christian men, whose chief purpose was to expound the teachings of Jesus Christ ana help humanity by the revr latino that He made of Clod to the world. To adnte extent I hftve not been disappointed. 1 still believe that some of the noblest spirits to he found on earth are In these conferences of Meth odist preachers, but, like others, I have found to my sorrow thut bigotry and tyranny and Intolerance arc still alive and that conference ecclesiastical ma chines are as possible. If not as nu merous, as state political machines. “Furthermore, within the North Georgia conference there are two dis tinct clauses' or types of preacher*— the ultra-orthodox, or rigid tradition alists and llterallsts in their Interpre tation of the Rlble, and on the other hand, those who are In more or less sympathy with the general results of modem scholarship and scientific In vestigations. Tho IIrut of these classes are largely In the majority; many of them Are good men anti of pure mo tlves, but lauklng either In opportunity or mental ability to pursue Independ ent and difficult lines of research These more uncultured clusses are dog matic In their belief and utterances and In their ignorance frequently de nounce from jhelr pulpits the very truths for which even the ehurch col leges and universities are contending. For example, the uverage preacher do- nounres from Ids pulpit ttie theory of organic evolution, while the church school to which hla congregation la sending their young men is teaching this great truth In its biological de partment. Evolutionists Ahead. "There la not a reputable biological chair In America that Is not tilled by an evolutionist. "The second of these classes In the conference Is composed of a small hut cultured minority. They are not al ways men of greater bruin capacity than those of the llrst class, but they have lout larger and belter opportunt- ties. In their studies and investiga tions they have come face to face with facts which demand attention and con sideration from the honest student, and while this more cultured class admits that the older theological views con tained much truth, they stoutly main tain that there Is a higher und more spiritual Interpretation to Christ and Ills mission than traditionalism has ever given. This second school of thought Is growing. A professor. In one of our conference schools, lately made the remark: This good old or thodox school will never turn out an other preacher of traditionalism.’ Bish op Candler, the leader of traditional ism In Georgia Methodism, recently* made substantially this statement: 'A few years ago this modern scholarship was no bigger than a man's hand, but The long, steady PULL WINS. Store up energy for “utaylng” qualities by breakfasting on Grape-Nuts -THERE’8 A REASON.- now It Is a threatening cloud.' 'Rsspsct Opinions. "No harm would come of these tw classes belhg within the same confer enefes If they would respect eaclv oth er'H opinion and honor oqe another for purity of life and righteousness of character, but traditionalism has nl- •nftys been tyrannical. It crucified Jesus, put the apostles to death, ex- communicated Luther, burned innocent men and pure women und dyed nations In human blood. And what tradition alism has done. In the past It would repeat today If It had the power; be ing now forbidden by law to Inflict penalty. It nevertheless persecutes by opinion. "This much 1 have said on conditions In general. Now, to come directly to conditions prevailing at present In tho North Oeorgla conference: Bishop Candler has for some years been wag ing a relentless war upon parties In this conference whom he considers heretics, and I *WTl! say, by the way, that he might also attack certain mem bers of the College of Bishops, for some of them are quite as heretical as any of us 'small fry.' Bishop 8tirs Strife. "One result of the bishop's tirades has been to stir up strife and general contention over theological questions, another hns been to create u smalt comjmny of spielers and - tattlers, who have poured Into his ears slanderous reports concerning tholr brethren, and still another has been the creating and 'sicking on* of a pack of heresy hounds who have trumped up charges against their brethren; example, lust full the brother who brought charges against Dr. II. 8. Hrttdley at the Newnnn conference acknowledged to Dr. C. W. Byrd that Bishop Candler had caused him to bring the churges, and the brother who threatened Rev. M. L. Troutman with similar charges and caused a petition to be circulated against him, neknoWledged substantial ly the same thing to Mr. Troutman. "At present the conference Is con trolled lurgely by men who are seek Ing to cqrry out Bishop Candler'i wishes and the majority are Influenced by prejudice and passion, not by reason nnd consideration. This was seen In the election of delegates to the recent general conference. Defeated Mr. Cofer. "Rev. M. J. Cofer, perhaps the most useful man In the conference—a man who After a few years' residence In Atlanta has fur more Influence among our loading laymen there than Bishop Candler und all his lieutenants and who had been twice before in the gen eral conference—was defeated and out* ’oted by the man who brought heresy barges against Dr. Bradley, though this heresy hunter lm»l never been dreumed of before for an Importunt office. Bishop Candler resides in At lanta und has largo Influence in the ufTalrs of this conference. Candler a Dictator. "Now 1 utn willing to follow a leader, but not a dictator. Bishop Candler Is not the former hut the latter, und s dictator of the most dangerous kind Rather thnn be In the hands, or partly in the hands, of un ecclesiastical nuv- htne manipulated by this man und Ills helpers, I prefer to retire, though I made long and diligent preparation for the work of the ministry und have now given fourteen of the best years of my life to the conference. In the conference there are men of the finest nnd most choice spirits. I shall aorely miss their fellowship and love. "What will the conference do If it sees this interview? They may refuse my location and summon me to trial for telling the truth, or they may vote Bishop Candler their confidence. Ills crowd is In the majority and a vote Is a vote In conference ufTalrs as much us In politic*. "What then will I do? Pursue the even tenor of my way. Do Just what I will do anyway—go out Into the world and try to make an honest living for my wife und babies. I thank God this Is a wide and good world, and no man who Is willing to work need Buffer."

COST8 NOTHING TO TRY. Catarrh of the Stomach has long been considered the next thing to Incurable. The usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensation after eating, accom panied sometimes with sour or watery risings, a formation of gases, .causing pressure on the heart and lungs and fllcult breathing, headaches, fickle ap petite, nervousness and a general played-out, languid feeling. There fs often a foul taste In the mouth, coated-tongue and If tbe Inte rtor of tile stomach could be seen It would show a slimy. Inflamed condition. The cure for this common and obsti nate trouble Is found In a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before it has time to ferment and irritate the delicate mu cous surfaces of the stomach. To se cure a prompt and healthy digestion Is the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion Is secured the catarrhal condition will have disap peared. According to Dr. Harlanson, the saf est and beat treatment Is to use after each meal a tablet, composed of Dias tase. Aseptic Pepsin,, u little Nux, Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tablets can now be found at all drug stores under the name of Stuart's Dys- pepsiu Tablets and not being a patent medicine can be used with perfect safety and assurance that healthy ap petite and thorough digestion will fol low their regular use after meals.
