ton B. Price, evangelist of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
in a sermon p'«.pared for delivery
before the Bible and Evangelistic
Conference at the Southern Moth
odist Slimmer Assembly here, de
clared that the church Is not
failure, but that If tho members of
the church would study more close
ly tho teachings and life of Jesus
Christ they could make it much
more successful.
He shall not fall.” the word's
of prohpm-y spoken by Isninh, was
the evangelist's text. Tho text ro-

“If this statement of my text,”
he began, “had been spoken about
any othtt man that GTtr w ®tked

have been proved false long ago.
