Miss Johnston related that the county library was founded in 1944, during which year 11,000 books were circulated. Last year, 92,000 were read and the total is expected to top the 100,000 mark this year, she said. "We have mushroomed so quick ly that we cannot give good ser vice in our present building and on our current budget of $15,000," she commented. Among the activities sponsored by the Haywood County Public Library are a story hour for chil dren on Tuesdays, conducted by the Waynesville Holnemakers here and by the Clyde Woman's Club in that town, and a showing of adult films each Friday in the children's reading room in the basement. The library also sponsors an Churches Must 'FaceUp' To Race Problems, Says Speaker At L. Junaluska Now is the time for the Christ ian Church to "face up" to the problem of race relations 'ip so ciety and in the church itself," said the Rev. Dr. Harold A. Bos ley, Evanston, 111., guest speaker at the Lake Junaluska Methodist Summer Assembly. "We always beg for more time American Heritage discussion group during the fall and winter. It has been estimated that $75, 000 will be required to prepare the old Ferguson resilience for. use as a library. The library fund now contains $10,216.13 and a fund campaign is to be conducted soon by the library board. Already planned this month and next are five civic events on the Ferguson property under the spon sorship of the Chamber of Com merce. The first?a lecture by | Arthur Stupka", Great Smoky Mountains National Park natura list?will be presented this Friday night. - i when we face difficult problems, but in this matter of brotherhood ?racial or otherwise ? we have no time to lose," Dr. Bosley said. "By avoiding an imediate prob lem we may be creating greater problems in the future," he added, and warned that "we can't win an argument with God." Dr. Bosley, dean of the Duke University Divinity School from 1947 to 1950 and now pastor of First Methodist Church In Evans ton, concluded a series of three lectures Wednesday night. He spoke at the SouthwMe School of Missions sponsored by the Metho dist Woman's Society of Christian Service in the Southeastern Juris diction. "The problem of race relations is not the creation of a group of liberals within the church," Dr. Bosley said. "In my opinion, It is] evidence of the hand of God laid upon us today requiring us to im plement His will toward oneness in our lifetime, and it is a matter or now or else." He said "the Christian Church is obligated to renew and deepen its consideration of the race rela tions problem in society and in the church itself . .. the fact that none of us has the complete answer to what we should do serves only to underscore the necessity of inves tigating what should be done." Dr. Bosley said he is hopeful that the Methodist Church will clarify its race relations problem when the General Conference, the denomination's chief legislative body, meets next April in Minne apolis, Minn. The Methodist Church is didived into five geographical jurisdictions, and a sixth is composed of Negro members. The jurisdictional sys tem, a compromise in the reunion of three major M'ethodist bodies in 1939, has been the subject of numerous resolutions and peti ions at sessions of Methodist an nual (regional) conferences this "ear. At his own annual conference, 'he Rock River Conference in Waynesville Boys Ring The Bell, Land In Court Three Waynesville boys rang the bell Monday night. But they rang the wrong bell at the wrong time. For a prank the trio decided to ring the old bell near the Lake Junaluska Assembly auditorium and waited until 10:30 p.m. to pull the rope. ' Unfortunately for them, Everett A. McElroy, chief of police at the assembly, was only about 100 feet away at the time and gave chase in his cruiser, overtaking the cul prits in a short time. The three boys were given a court hearing, strongly reminded that the assembly bell is to be rung only for services, and then assessed | fines. Air. McElroy did not identify the youths, but said he thought they had learned their lesson on bells. Illinois. Dr. Bosley presented a res- | olution requesting the Methodist , General Conference to .name a | special committee to review and study the jurisdictional system in the light of 16 years' experience, and to report back at the next quadrennial sessions in 1960. His resolution was adopted as a peti tion to the 1956 General Confer ence. "Instead of a united Methodist Church, it seems to me that the jurisdictional system is causing us to drift into five geographical churches, plus a Negro church, each with different pronounce ents and institutional approaches," Dr. Bosley said in an interview. "I know of no Methodist. North or South, who defends our Central (Negro i Jurisdiction on ethical grounds," he said. "Some try to defend it on prudential grounds, but I am not sure the facts bear them out." He added: "I covet for the church a po sition of leadership in solving rac ial issues, and in all areas of social concern. Christians cannot profess to believe that G<yl is love and dodge a direct and responsible relation to all human problems. The Church, as an institution, can not compromise. For the Christian conscience there is no escape." Detroit Minister Heard In Four Lectures At Lake "Without God we cannot; with out us, God will ndt," the Rev. Verner S. Mumbulo told Metho dists at the Lake Junaluska south eastern summer assembly. Dr. Mumbulo, pastor of the Nar din Park Methodist Church in De troit, Mich., has been guest plat form speaker this week in the | main auditorium. He completed his series of four lectures this morn ing. "Low aims are the bane of so many lives today," Dr. Mumbulo said. "So many men spend their lives missing what they might have been." "Salvation means lifting your life up to the place where you won't miss the mark anymore."
