REV. D. S. PATTERSON,
Pastor of the Bethlehem Methodiet
Church, Writes Letter to
the Brethren.
Dear Brethren —As you all know,
“Ho that fails to blow his own horn
the same shall not be blown", In oth
er words if 1 see the Rev. I>. S. P.
the popular pastor of the Bethlehem
charge coming to the front with his
name in the paper; I the individual
self will have to put it there.
Doubtless you have seen watermel
ons with a thick rind, and others
with a thin rind; you have also no
ticed that some folks seem to have
a thick skull, with very little in it,
while on the other hand, there are
those who have a very thin skull,
with some good stuff in it. Of course
1 am of the former kind. May the
good Lord save his people from what
you call ignorance, and prejudice
You have heard of the fellow who
misbehaved at preaching, because h<
had been mule-kicked when very
small, also of the unfortunate girl
who had to talk in church, because
she had a one gallon jug, and had
it full. The biggest crank in the
known world is the poor fellow' who
thinks he knows everything, and real
ly don’t you know there are some
people in the world who it would do
good to send off. You have heard
of the smart daughter that tried to
play classical music for her pastor,
and when she got through her moth
er said, “Brother Smith don’t you
think she ought to be sent off,” and
Brother Smith said yes.
Who was that fellow who said
that the people of these parts were
being educated, and that they have
already gotten to the point that
they do not give to missions. That
looks like some folks are coming to
the front heels-over-head. Well I
shall not say what I was going to
say, I will say what I was about to
say, and that is this; we had four
great services here in Bethlehem last

Jno. S. Jenkins preached on some
of the conditions of prayer, then at
one o’clock the good sisters had the
old time “.rash" on the ground, all
get too much, and then some for suj

lecture on how to make finances easy
pleasant, and abundant. At night he
preached a most wonderful sermon
on the relation of foreign missions
to commerce.
By the grace of almighty God we
people of the Bethlehem charge are
going to pay more to the benevo
lences of the church this year than
we ever have in the history of the
charge. LK> you know of anybody
who has indigestion of the mind.
Fraternally, D. S. Patterson.

SHALL GEORGIA WOMEN
VOTE: BILL ASKS SUB
MISSION TO PEOPLE
Women Want the Right of Suffrage
Upon Equal Terms with Men
in This State.
There is pending before the Leg
islature, a bill to submit to the vo
ters of the State an amendment to
the Constitution to confer upon wo
men the right of suffrage upon equal
terms with men in this State. Tin
Legislators who shall vote in favor
of this bill, will simply register then
selves as being willing to allow the
male citizens of Georgia to decide at
the next general election on the
third day of November, 11116, wheth
er or not the female citizens shall
be clothed with the same rights and
privileges as they—whether female
citizens shall be clothed with the
same rights and privileges as they—
whether the female tax payers of the
State shall have a voice in the Gov
ernment under which they live and
which they help to support.
The Democratic party, which is the
dominant party of the State, stands
for the principle of State’s Rights;
for the State’s sole right to decide
the issues which involve the life,
the liberty and happiness of the
pie residing within its confines.
“We Georgia women have taken
them at their word and are now ask
ing the members of the Georgia I>-; -
islature to submit this question <>f a
State Constitutional Amendim nt to
the only people allowed to vote, that
they may decide the s L u< , says th<
women cf the Gtorgia Ef,u:al Suf
frage Association.
“We hereby attach a copy of the
Amendment which we desire sub
mitted : -
“Proposed Amendment to the
State Constitution.
“The Right of Citizens of this
State to vote, shall not b< denied or
! abridged on account of sex.
“President Wilson has said, Lib
erty does not consist, in mere gene;
al declaration as to the rights of
man. It consists of the translation
of those declarations in cL finite ac
tion. We women of Georgia are ask
ing the Georgia Legislature to trans
late into action the time-honored Dem
ocratic statement that the poj-Ic oi
the State should decide.
“In view of the rapid growth of wo
man suffrage in the Nation, it would
seem of immense interest to the
men of Georgia to solve this great
problem themselves, and in their own
way, rather than wait the slightly
deferred, but none the less sure so
lution of the question by the Feder
al Government. One writer has said,
“It is not only an injustice lo the
Southern woman to have tiie South
ern States so tardy in giving suffrage
to the women of the South but it is
an injustice to the political situation
in the South. The West has doubled
the vote in giving suffrage to women.
“The twelve States where women
vote, elect one fourth of the U. S.
Senators, one sixth House of Con
gress and nearly one-fifth of the
Presidential electors.
We, the women of Georgia, ap
peal to tiie high sense of Justice and
the Inherent chivalry of our able
and conscientious legislators, that
they shall no longer ignore the
rights of one half the tax-paying, Jaw
abiding, moral and educated citizens
of tiie State of Georgia. If our
men believe in Democracy, if they
believe in the women who gave them
birth, if they believe in the women
who are tjieir comrades and compan
ions in life, who make their homes
happy, who make their lives success
ful, who stand by them faithfully
in every emergency of life, they
will register tlnir verdict —a verdict
that will stand for all time—that in
the eyes of an American freeman,
the dignity of American woman hod
stands side by side and the equal of
the dignity of American manhood —
Not man above woman, not woman
above man, but man and woman, side
by side, comrade* av-1 companions all
through life’s journ* y, and God over
all forever.’’
