South Georgia Methodist Cons
Adopts Annual Budget Os $378,000
The South- Georgia Methodist Conference adopted Tuesday 'a
$978,000 budget and then fell into a legislative fight over an amend
ment{ dealing with the abolition of a Nagro conference.
The squabble over the amend
ment wound up with a tie vote
of 194 which wzs short of the two
thirds vote necessary for approv
al.
Backers of the amendment said
the tie vote came as a result of a
misunderstanding among dele
gates as to the exact meaning of
the proposal. .
Dr. G. Ross Freeman (f At
lanta; who introduced the pro
posal, said it would have no ef
fect on abolition of the Negro
jurisdiction or its' merger with
predominately white jurisdictions,
which was approved in 1956.
The amendment, Freeman con
tented, would have clarified the
wording of the original amend
ment. i
During discussion, Judge Rob
ert Humphrey of Swainsboro saidl
he was not clear as to the mean-
Southern College, Statesboro.
i. Troopers Woods and: €aldwell,
who investigated the accident,
'said the driver of the Hart car
ifailgd to stop -at a stop sign. The
Chervolet car spun around off
the highway, and the Thunderbird
overturned off the road injuring
both ‘occupants. They were car
ried to the Laurens County Hos
‘piial in Dublin for emergency
i treatment.
| Mrs. Hart, the former Miss Mat
{tie Lou Perdue, was born in
{Dodge County, the daughter of
{ Eddie Perdue and Mrs. Mary
lJane Byron Perdue, and she and
{ her husband had lived in Jeffer
!som‘ille for 21 years.
{ Both automobiles were demol
| ished.
ALAMO, WHEELER COUNTY, GEORGIA
iing of the amendment but that
he was opposed to integration in
!the Methodist Church.
i Delegates also defeated another
amendment which would have
changed the time and place of
jurisdictional conferences which
lelect bishops.
: The budget adopted by the con
lference includes $258,000 for mis
sions and other benevolent causes.
The figure respresents only the
I money administered by the con
ference itself. Local church build
ing and maintenance budgets will
| boost the sum six or seven times.
{ The conference commission on
{minimum salzries for pastors re
ported no increase in minimum
!salaries for ministers of smaller
churches.
Their minimum earnings will
remain at $4,000 a year for mar
ried pastors and $3,600 for single
men.
Another report showed a mod
est gain of 110 in church mem
bership throughout the conference.
Total church membership is 146,-
487.
The conference board on min
isterial training and qualification
announced that the Rev. Thomas
Whiting, pastor of Wesley Monu
mental Methodist Church, host for
the session, . will be transferred
June 21 to an Atlana church to
be znnounced.
