SECTION
TWO
By WILBORNE HARRELL A
If you are hell-bent on dying,
for goodness sake think of a
more original way than taking
off in an automobile accident.
And in the meantime drive care
fully; it might be monotonous,
but less bloody and messy than
a crackup or crash. Try it.
STREET SCENE The other
morning a truck passed me
which at first glance I thought
held a couple of hogs. But 1
did a doable-take—what I hac
seen were a couple of baby ele
phants. And they seemed to b'
enjoying the ride, too.

THE WEST—Dodge City came
into being as- town, or city, in
1872, with just a few stores, a
dance hall and a saloon. Origi
nally an outpost for buffalo
hunters, it soon developed into
a rip-roaring settlement. It was
the mecca of cattlemen, badmen,
gamblers, and was the stamping
ground of many of the West’s
gun-throwers who later became
famous as lawmen and tamers
of notorious outlaws and gun
men.
No compromise with communism!
i Seventy-four per cent of Pro-i

| selves as either fundamental orj
| conservative in theology (with\
j slightly more than half of these j
j preferring the term “conserva- (

per cent describe themselves as
“liberal,” and 12 per cent as

all ministers interviewed hold
that the Bible is “the authorita
tive rule of life and faith,” and
classify this as an essential doc
trine, but 33 per cent will not
go so far as to say they believe
the Bible is verbally inspired in
the original writings.
With respect to other doc
trines, 18 per cent reject the
virgin birth of Christ; 17 per
cent the Bible teaching that.
Christ died as our Substitute for!
sin; and 11 per cent the histori- !
cal, liberal resurrection of Christ,
from the dead.
Only 89 per cent of Protestant
ministers think it essential to
teach that Jesus Christ is the
Son of God; the rest feel that
He was only a man, like other

i>,_spite ecumenical propaganda
and drum-beating, there was
very little enthusiasm for church
union. Only 27 per cent of the
ministers considered it “very im
portant,” and only 18 per cent
were in favor of church union
through organic mergers. 24
per cent opposed any form of
merger. Almost half (48 per
cent) felt that any union of
churches should be on a doc
trinal basis alone (83 per cent
of Lutherans felt this way, but
only 25 per cent of Methodists).
Almost all Presbyterians be
lieved that affirmation of “God
as Creator of Man” is an im
portant basis for church union, i
but only 93 per cent of Epis-J
copalians, and 92 per cent of|
Baptists. With respect to the|
historical, bodily resurrection of)
Christ, only 68 per cent of Meth-1
odist ministers thought the doc-1
trine important, and only 70 per
cent of Presbyterians (see I Co- j
rinthians. chapter 15).
Baptists and Lutherans sup
ported belief on Jesus Christ as
Saviour and Lord as an import
ant basis of Christian fellow
ship by 97 per cent (Methodists
1 and Presbyterians by 95 per cent
and Episcopalians by 93 per
cent). 90 per cent of Episco
palians accept Jesus Christ as
God (as do 90 per cent of the
Presbyterians, and 88 per cent
of the Methodists).

Ask a man if he has an account w ith us and he is apt to say,
"Oh yes, I know Joe Adams. He’s a swell guv.”
1 Joe Adams (a fictitious name) is the teller he generally deals
w ith. He is the "bank” to him. He has gotten to know’ him well,
passes the time of day with him, chats about his family, his job,
his ups and downs. He likes Joe Adams, hence he likes the bank.
That’s w hy we see that our staff members are not only the kind
people like, but the kind that like people. Come in and meet
