Church Should Stay
Out Of Politics
Says Bishop Candler
Bishop Warren A. Candler,
senior bishop of the South
ern Methodist church, is of
the opinion that Methodist
preachers should ‘ ‘not dis
sent from the position of the
church on the question of
persona) or party politics,
but ^hat every minister
“should preach Jesus Christ
and Him Crucified."
The muchly loved bishop
of the chureh in response has
issued a letter that plainly
sets forth his views on poli
tical matters and the church
dabbling in politics. This
communication from Bishop
Candler is published in full
on the editorial page of to

Hoover Arrives To
Visit Coolidge
SUPERIOR, July 15—Secre
tary Hoover arrived, here today on
board his special train from Wash
ington to visit President Coolidge.
Sirens were blowing and bells were
ringing as the train pulled into the
station with a large crowd waiting.
Police reinforcements made a way
through the crowd and enabled
secretary a no his party to abandon
the train. Two bands struck up at
this point, competing with the ap
.plause of the crowd.
Amid this roar, he was introduced
to members of the reception com
mittee.
In the car with the secretary as
the procession passed through the
crowd lined streets, were Mrs. Hoo
ver and Col. Latrobe, aide to the
president.
The Republican presidential nom
inee rode in an open car barehead
ed despite the warm sun. He was
applauded enthusiastically the entire
route through the town and re
sponded bowing and smiling. Mrs.
Hoover seemed to appreciate the re
ception, also.
Because of the intensity of the
sun and the dust of the country
roads, a closed car awaited the sec
retary at the edge of the city to
complete the remainder of the 40
mile drive to Cedar Island Lodge.
