'The Atlanta Journal:
and Mrshe many letters inquiring concerning
at their ha.i pending matters political, and asking
street. u the same, the following statement is
of
y ** 00 ntaon to dissent from the position of
< * urch on the subject of personal and party
-w* jiUcs as that position has been proclaimed au
by its leaders from the beginning of its
history as a Christian body.
On the 17th day of August, 1865—before tho
clouds of war had been dispersed and while the
in08t irritating conditions were prevailing in our
country—Bishops James O. Andrews, Robert Paine,
and George F. Pierce, met at Columbus, Ga., and
a pastoral address to the ministers and mem
bers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
giving timely counsels and admonitions concerning
the oourse to be pursued In the midst of the trying
situation which confronted them. Bishop Joshua
Soule and Hubbard H Havana ugh were prevented
from attending the meeting by the disordered state
of railway transportation, but they approved the
issued by the other bishops when it was
With reference to political matters the address
contained the following exhortation to the preachers:
“Know year high calling. Preach Christ
mwified. Do net preach politico Ton
have no to preach politics. The di
vhtlty of the Church is never more strikingly
displayed than when it holds on Its ever-straight
fonrard way in tho midst of worldly eosuno
In the spring of 1866 the General Conference met
in New Orleans, La., and the Bishops said in the
Episcopal Address to that noble body of able and
devout men:
“We do not attempt in this brief address to
late n detailed account of the general state
If the week. We thank God that we have so
safely through a most painful and fiery
ordeal ;that tho Chnrch has preserved under
her Integrity that she has in no
plicated with political affairs;
M Is view of her own high mission, has been
satisfied to perform her legitimate duties.”
In that expression of the non-political mission
and work of the Church all the bishops heartily
united and the Oenerai Conference approved It.
. The General Conference elected to the office
of Bishop Dr. William M Wlghtman, Dr. David
Ooggett, Dr. Enoch M. Marvin and Dr. Holland N.
McTyeire, all of wnoin went forth to their new
fields Of labour in perfect agreement with the sen
timents o7 thetr otter colleagues and the General
Conference concerning the subject of the Church
and politics.
Some years later that most saintly man, eloquent
preacher, and wise bishop. Bishop Enoch M.
published a very strong article in which he dis
cussed the duty and destiuy of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, in the closing paragraphs
of which he said:
“We must stand in our lot. The future
must be left to the men of the future and to
God. Those who shall have the affairs of the
Church in charge fifty years hence will be as wise
as we i Let us pray that they may be much
more wise. Fifty yean hence God will be listen
ing to the prayers of His people. Fifty years
hence—we cannot doubt It—there will be a
Methodist Church In the land. In poise amid the
factions of the hour, pure amid Its temptations,
her candlestick still In Its place, her light burn
ing with the pure flame of inspiration and faith,
her hands clean from bribes, her robes of linen
clean and white, the righteousness of saints
washed in the blood of the Lamb revered by
all who love the Lord Jesus, and hated only by
His enemies; her children dwelling in peace in
the South, and in the North, in the West and
in the East, with Republican and Democrat,
Radical and Conaervatlve. alike eaiiinr her bless
ed. She will excite the suspicions and hatred
of none by allying herself with an adverse party
upon issues that arouse the passions of the hour,
hut the outside of the sphere. She will move
with a grand but quiet enerry amid the affairs
of men. the representative of Christ to all, the
political ally or enemy of none. She will stand
tor Christ, recognised by all, upon a place far
above the level of those contests which come and
go with the energy and swiftness of a tornado.
She will abjure both the riches and the power
which might reward a lewd and bewitching co
quetry with some successful party in the State.
She will be known, and loved, and hated, as the
chase spouse of Chlrst Her character will give
full force and meaning to the Word of God com
mitted .to her.
“This Is the destiny of the Methodist Episco
pal Chnrch. South, a destiny that she cannot
alienate. She must ‘stand in her lot to the
end of the days’.”
At the Oenerai Conference, held in Memphis,
Term., May 3-31, 1894. the Bishops said in their
address to the body ;
"It is not amiss to repeat what has often
been declared—that our Church is strictly a

lowing communication from Mrs.
L. C. Warren, who delivered
an address last week to the
Griffin W. C. T. U„ on “Chris
tian Citizenship,” will be of in
terest, not only to members of
that great organization, but to
all readers of THE NEWS. It is
published in full as turned in by
Mrs. Warren.

In the article appearing in THE
NEWS, under the caption: "Local
W. C. T. U., Fails to Take Action
for or against A1 Smith,” followed
by a stratled, "Although” other W.
C. T. U. organisations over the en
tire country are fighting Smith and
the Georgia state president of the
W. C. T. U., Mrs. Marvin Williams
has emphatically stated that she is
heart and soul against the New
candidate, the Griffin club took no
action yesterday as to Smith's can
didacy; we appreciate the tenor o£
THE NEWS' anticipation but feel
compelled to answer its implied ne
gleet.
The articles m each newspaper
prove an unerring key to the senti
ment of its editor, and for that very
tact the citizens of Griffin should
feel a distinct pride, for our edi
tor is always vigilant as to the ten
dency of the times, and in no un
certain tones reveal? his attitude
toward them. His ideals are an in
spiration to the reading public.
Hence our answer:
This year has witnessed some
very remarkable exhibitions of the
wild and frenzied following of some
self-appointed guides and dictators
in matters of state and national
concern to the humiliation of com
munities. state and nation.
that the dawn of a new
day demands the awakening of a
new conscience the talk was made
from that standpoint Men find wo
men of intelligence with their hours
of leisure multiplied by every con
ceivable device need to be brought
to a realization of the value of that
time for study, development and ul
timate service. /
The "crowd" is the same today as
It was in the day of Caesar, which
one moment could be the allies of
blood thirsty Cassius under the spell
of Brutus by the subtle power of an
Anthony.
The W. C. T. U., is an organiza
tion of intelligent, capable and
thinking women, and the speaker
felt s hesitancy to the time allotted
for a talk on "Citizenship," to use
that time in a denunciation of any

and only those who build on Him build safely.
The more closely we keep ourselves to the one
work of testifying to all men repentance toward,
God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, the
better shall we promote the highest good of our
country and race. As a Church we are not re
lated by affiliation or antagonism to any politi
cal party. As a clllxen every man should carry
his Judgment and conscience into politics and all
other spheres of life.*'

U You ain’t failin’ fer any of that stuff are you?. That’s

candidate or the exm;ession ofper
sonal views of doubt, distn&t, and
condemnation believing it to be far
better to arouse an enthusiasm for
the Ideals for which our nation
stands, and a genuine study of facts,
and men who aspire to the highest
honor this nation can offer.
Indifference A Crime.
Leadership demands a thorough |
knowledge of facts and men from;
indisputable sources before any code
of conduct should be issued to any
group. Rumors and propaganda are
rift at present and accurate infor
mation difficult to obtain, and in
struction without personal preju
dice rather difficult to give in the
present crisis. There must come,
i j thorough study, a consciousness of
the gravity of the present political
j outlook, a sense of duty awakened
from within, a determination to help
I in its solution, and a rekindled spirit
of patriotism that shall feel indif
ference to be a crime against a
country’s call.
Have no fear that the message of
the leaders of this great organiza
tion fall upon deaf ears; but when
this country called its millions to
arms, the first move was training
camps, and not an immediate charge
against the enemy.
In a recent election one man as
piring to position of honor and i
a
trust, came to the speaker, and ask
ed for an assurance of support if
it cduld be conscienciously given. He
received this answer: “You shall
have no doublt. If you are honor
ably and conscientiously upholding
the laws of this state, and are a
never-wavering exponent of the
highest ideals of a Christian citi
zen you, do not need to ask my
attitude. You know it." That mans'
conscience sent the crimson to his
cheeks and with a 3ickly smile he
bowed himself out. This is every
woman's answer.
The next meeting of the W. C. T.
U.j is to be a general roll-call, an
swered by at least two pertinent
facts from each member. Our de
sire is that every woman shall cast
an Intelligent vote based on her owr.
conviction. We know of no better
way to prove our loyalty to our great
leaders and no surer way to render
our groat service to our country.
The W. C. T. U. is but one of the
organized groups of Intelligent and
thinking women whose purpose is to
maintain the high ideals of the Re
public and foster every law that
means its betterment and progress 1

Offering no criticism of others, I propose to

conscientiously my duties as a citizen and fulfilling
with fidelity my commission as a minister of Jesus
Christ. On that I stand. I cannot do otherwise.
May my Lord help me to serve my generation by
the will of Ood; finish my course with Joy and the
