Keeping The Faith
Many ministers and laymen of
the Methodist faith feel that those
who have criticised the suspension of
the Rev. li. E. Mcßrayer, pastor of
the Lakewood Heights Methodist
church, at Atlanta, for campaigning
in the interest of repeal of the bone*
dry laws of Georgia, are not familiar
with the doctrine and discipline of
the church, and in their criticisms
have entirely missed the real point
at issue.
It is pointed out that it is not a
question of “intolerance” towards
liberty .of thought, but rather a
question of observing the doctrine
and discipline of the church which
he took on oath to observe.
It has been said in the course of
the campaign that John Wesley
frowned upon making abstience from
liquors a doctrine of the church. It
is pointed out by competent church
authorities that John Wesley him
self wrote the general rules which
are a part of the doctrine and dis
cipline as used today, and these gen
eral rules read, in part:
“First, by doing no harm . . .
such as . . . drinking spirituous liq
uors unless in cases of necessity.”
“This would seem to dispose of
the question as to what the founder
of Methodism thought and taught.
Section 182 of the Doctrines and
Discipline prescribes the questions
that shall be asked when preachers
are being admitted into full connec
tion:
“After solemn fasting and prayer,
every person proposed shall then be
asked, ‘Are you willing to conform
to the Discipline of the church? Will
you specially observe the following
directions: Do not mend our rules,
but keep them?’ "
To these questions Mr. Mcßrayer
must have answered in the affirma
tive, or he would not have been ad
mitted to full connection as a preach
er.
Chapter XIII, on the Evils of In
temperance, says in part:
“Let our preachers and members
abstain from the manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors to be
used as a beverage, FROM SIGNING
PETITIONS FOR THEIR SALE,”
etc.
It is pointed out, and apparently
with great force, that Mr. Mcßrayer
went even further than simply sign
ing a petition, when he took the
stump to advocate the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors, and
in doing so violated the laws of the
church he had taken an oath to obey.
It seems to be properly contended
that it is not a question of freedom
of opinion, but of conforming to the
rules of a faith to which he has vol
untarily subscribed.-- Macon News.
COX SAYS TALMADGE
MUST ALTER POSITION
Washington.—Representative Cox,
(D., Ga.), said today Governor Tal
madge as national committeeman
from Georgia, will have no voice in
national party afffairs “until he has
ceased his warfare on the party and
its leader, the president.”
Informed that Talmadge had been
selected by the state Democratic
executive committee to succeed the
late Maj. John S. Cohen as national
committeeman, Cox issued the fol
lowing statement:
“From one who lives on vanity
nothing should be surprising. How
ever, when it comes to his being
seated it should not be unreasonable
to expect him to die of mortifica
tion.
“The national Democratic com
mittee is a committee of the Demo
cratic party against which the gov
ernor is waging a war of his own
making.
“If the governor hopes to have
any influence in Washington, he will
be compelled to first recant and
make proof of his loyalty to the
party which has often honored him
and which he has been endeavoring
to undermine and destroy.”
MRS. A. T. LOTT BURIED
THURSDAY
Braselton, Ga. —Mrs. Andrew T.
Lott, 83, died at her residence Tues
day, following a brief illness. Mrs.
Lott was formerly Miss Margaret
Hanes, daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Mathew Hanes. Mr. Lott died
some nine years ago.
Funeral services were held at
Macedonia Congregational church
Thursday, and interment was in the
church yard. Rev. T. L. Leverette
officiated.
Mrs. Lott is survived by two sons,
Walter N. Lott of Braselton, and
William L. Lott of Tucker; a broth
er, Joseph B. Hanes, of Atlanta; and
il grandchildren and eight great
grandchildren.
ATLANTA FIRMS ARE UNMOVED
BY OVERTHROW OF BLUE
EAGLE
The Blue Eagle is dead, but its
spirit goes marching on, at least in
sofar as Atlanta merchants are con
cerned, and there will be virtually no
cutting of salaries or increasing of
working hours in the Greater Atlan
ta district, it is generally believed.
For instance, three of the leading
grocery chains operating in Atlanta
voluntarily announced that existing
wage scales would be maintained and
that the existing scale of hours would
be continued.
Officers of the two major drug
chains in the city likewise stated
that the wages and hours would con
tinue as if the NRA codes were still
in operation.
The Atlanta Retail Food Dealers’
Association, following a hurried
check among its members, declared
that not a single grocer had said he
would cut salaries, although there is
the possibility that in isoated in
stances working hours may be
slightly increased.
Two of the leading five and ten
cent stores in the city came* forward
with announcement that no changes
had been made in wages or hours,
while the manager of one said he
had been specifically instructed by
the main offices of the company to
take no such action.
The board of directors of the At
lanta Retail Merchants’ Association,
comprising most of the retail busi
ness houses of the city, is scheduled
to meet at 12:30 o’clock this after
noon in the Atlanta Athletic Club to
discuss the situation which has
arisen as a result of the supreme
court declaring the NRA unconstitu
tional. It was freely predicted that
the directors would advocate reten
tion of both wage rates and work
hour schedules.—Atlanta Constitu
tion.
THE ONLY SOLUTION
During 1934, the automobile caus
ed the deaths of 24.7 persons out of
each 100,000 of our population.
Each 100,000 cars in use killed
130.4 people.
Every time 10,000,000 gallons of
gasoline were consumed, 20.1 per
sons died.
There are three different ways of
looking at the automobile accident
problem—and any one of them
should he sufficiently impressive to
make the public think, and think
seriously. The problem would be
bad enough if it were no greater
than in previous years, but statistics
show that it is steadily becoming
more acute.- In 1931, for example,
automobile registrations were 3 per
cent greater than in 1934 and gaso
line consumption about one per cent
greater—but 1931 automobile deaths
were 8 per cent under 1934. This
year, with automobile registrations
and gas consumption again on the
up-grade, it isn’t pleasant to specu
late on what the death toll will be
—unless that proportion of the
motoring public which is reckless,
incompetent and plain discourteous
is forced to change its ways.
A glance at the records shows
that the so-called “unavoidable” ac
cident is so rare as to be practically
non-existent. All but a handful of
accidents are caused by one of two
things—mechanically defective cars,
or a defect in the person behind the
wheel. And of those two, the last is
infinitely more important—93.9 per
cent of the cars involved in acci
dents last year were in apparently
good condition.
The time has passed when appeals
to the reckless driver to improve his
ways are sufficient. He has refused
—and the force of public opinion,
backed by modern, aggressively en
forced laws, presents the only solu
tion to the problem.
THORNS AND ROSES
A German allegory tells of two
little girls. They had been playing
together in a strange garden, and
soon one ran to her mother full of
disappointment.
“The garden’s a bad place, Moth
er,” she complained.
“Why, child,” asked the mother.
“I’ve been all around, and every
rose tree has sharp, long thorns on
it, and they scratch me.” Soon the
second little girl came in breathless.
“O Mother, the garden’s such a
delightful place!” she exclaimed.
“How so, my child?” inquired the
mother.
“Why, I’ve been all around, and
every thorn bush has lovely roses
growing on it, and they smell so
nice.”
And the mother wondered at the
difference in the two children.

ing.”

A MISTAKEN IDEA
Some people have the mistaken
idea that the longest and most un
usual words they can use are the
most appropriate ones to use but
they do not always impress any one,
especially, with their learning.
Sometimes these big words have
quite the opposite effect as when
they fail tc use just the right shade
of meaning they intended their
words to convey.
This makes the user appear much
more ridiculous than if he had con
fined himself all along to only those
words with which he was familiar.
It is always better not to wade out
too far into the unknown or else his
ignorance will surely be found out.
The greatest writers and speakers
were those who always used the
simplest, but most meaningful words.
