Mr. Editor: When the road bosses want to change a road they go right through our fields wherever they wish without even asking u»; wky can't you town people widen Depot.

Brothers na<V sisters don't gej. married. This is simply »,case in which there has pet-n trouble, in. the household. Two brothers, a brother and sister or two sis ter*—whichever you choose to term them —have been separated becanse the <dd folks in the years that had gene had a divbeon indite family. Eighty years af terward* the young folks come together, agree to forget the difference# that haw been exwttafr.aad be brothers again. “He : saga, that the Northern Church Offers a plan." The plan, a* submitted, wo* more largely written by members of tue commission fenra the Southern Oiucch' than by memhpih of the Northmen Church, according td the statements of those who wrote ,ft. Dr. Ellis and' Judfie White wree the instigators of this plao. Brother Candtere-n brother of Bishop Candler—helped very largely in working out the plan. ' The N'orthwa Ohnreh ac cepted it ; m*a kootherly attitude. They haven't offered ua- their: name. The name is to lie left for us to decide, aud it is with, tut to say just ns much as it is with the Northern Church as to what will be the ngme of the Church. It doesn’t make any difference how many votes they have they have agreed to a joint apt km. They have agreed to partnership- where each party holds 50 per cent, of the stock. Therefore, they couldn't impose anything npmt Us unless we agreed to it. They haven't asked tis to accept the laws and regulations of the Northern, Church. They have left thgt for the Southern Church to decide. The North ern Bishops will have no more to do with the administration of the affairs of Jur isdiction NO. 2 than they now have, un less the Southern Bishops simply, do what 1 have never known them to do. refuse to act'for themselves and go up there and ask those people to emur down and show them what and how, to do. j Knowing Rfadtep Denny, as I know him. I doin't have any other idea than that ha will be able to hold his own with aay of them that come along. He says that the Northern Church .out number* the,Southern Church'lwo to one. Suppose they outnumber us five to one: If they agree upon a plan whereby they. will not do auything that Is contrary to' the will of the weaker party it make* ho difference how many more they may Ithve than we hkve. He states that they have a much lar ger proportion of wealth than we have. Suppose they do feave. What has wealth to-do with the administration of /the af fair* of the Methodist Church? The humblest man has as much say-so as Bishop Denny of. McDowell if he wSI claim biN rights. He says that the plan defines the ter ritory of the .Methodist Episcopal Church ha the whole I nßfci States. By the same analogy that he eoipioys you could make the whole Cuiredi-Rtetes the territory of the Southern < tlurch 1 Now. where tatithe confiict in this and what is the nee «f trying to bring up a thing that doesn!| exist? Ho says that an attempt to regulate this, so fur ns the Southern Church is. eoueerUed. would have a preponderance of influence, as toted dowa by the com mittee drafting the plan. Os course, it was voted down.' You can't make people go into a church pr a conference or a dis trict if they donT want to go. but when there ceases to be two churches there will be no occasion fob the continuance of sep arate congregatteoa. where the other church ; s in tints?preponderance. An instance: North Carolina is divtd fd between the North Carolina (Vinfer ence and the Western North Carolina U<iufe»«uoe. Atfe certain line I ceaije to tea member of the Western North Caro lina Conference if I join the chtirch down in that section. If. however, I went into the eastern district of North Carolina nobody oil earth'rapid pall me into the North ChroMnn Conference if I insisted that I was Western North Carolina confer*v»re: tagged on to me. I would have a right to atiU stay a mem ber of the Sou threw Church in the North Carolina Cmifertere. What kind of a muttenhvud woatLgo to the- North Car cmw to go into should do about ahything at «U. & Neit^ hold good- with • regard to' Juriadirtion °No^ force a man fromnlaainot who is moving’ Into Florida or North OarottMte to jain j the Southera ( 'hureb.t Ahuowt any man | hear.

Wes hare them is both churches. Suppose! Homebody does get mad and say* that I there is a reflection bringcast upon hI»J The moon doean't atop shining hcraws*B dogs bay at it. The Christian man doeatj not stop bring a Christian because some! on* say* he is a member of a secetUggt church or'flat he is a rebel. He jtfstl smile* at the uaiust accusation and goes] on doing bis work. irrespective of what] the other fellow may call him. | He «ay« that he Is no prodigal son and f is not willing to accept term* of union] tha( carry condemnation of the acts and* motive* of hi* ancestors. Nobody has* ever asked him to do that. He cant find* a single thing in the plan that culls fort a thing of that kind. The plan is an] open one. He 1* received on the same basis as every other man and doesn't have to give up a thing. Save to love and trust hi* brother. He says that ope of the specific condi tion* of the plan, is that the bishop of both branches of the church shall be the board of- bishops of the consolidated church. He says that this would neces sitate the accepting of three negro fish ops and submit to rnlership ami order* from* th*se negroes if - serT preside, over state and. district conferences. Now,: Bishop Denny is: a smart man' and he knows better than this. We all know that there will never be suril a thing as a, negro presiding over a Southern Confer ence of any kind unless be is invited, to <lo so. y I don't think this will ever be, done, in our Southern territory. Bishop I fenny stye that he is trying to attend each Wstriet Conference in, the Carolina* to spegk his views on tt)i» matter. He is entitled to speak - hi** views as a private member, htrf •f ! Ques tion his right as a Bishop to on this at all. He has no vote, his opinion. Should count no more tli.ui mine or other member of the church. *] | ■ Tie. Bishop goes on- to say that only % few will do the voting that will decide this question. He is one of* the men* Who has stood for the program of the church* m the administration of its nffais*. I recollect when we voted for him tor Bishop? each, member of * the Western North Carolina Conference did not vote for him/' We arc-a representative church and do our business through representa tives. He was elected Bishop, by that means. If he were willing, to aeeept that as a proper. expression of the church L can't understand why- he wouldn’t b* willing to accept anything-else that would come about In a legally constituted way: Then he goes oh to say that he Is speaking his own sentiments and is not* representing anybody. I am glad to hear that. Knowing him as Ido I believe that he is honestly and sincerely trying to do what he regards as his diity, hut unfor tunately our people are tremendously in fluenced by his official position and it is' carrying undue weight. Nobody ought to fall out with Bishop Benny because he-gives out hi* own opinion. I-esteem •*him very highly, bnt I do wish he wonld not make these statements that are mis leading—not intentional on his part, F am sure—but this kind of agitation i* having the effect of arraying our breth ren one against the other. This is not In’ keeping with the time in which we live. How a man can take the position, of seeing only in bis own front yard—and not seeing, the world outside, where all’ the forces of Christ’* Kingdom need'to be brought together and kept together to tight the forces of. evil—X cant under stand -to »qv* my life.
