Rev. McLarty. Shelby Pastor, Leaves For Mississippi Conference; May Retire Cannon. The Rev. E. K. McLarty, pastor of the Central Methodist church, I left this morning for Jackson, Miss.,' to attend the quadrennial general1 conference of the Methodist Eplsco- ; pal church, South, which opens to- ; morrow. J. S. Hiatt of Gastonia,: presiding elder of the Gastonia dis trict, is also attending the confer ence. Far reaching legislation, Including a constitutional amendment that would permit ordination of women, will be proposed at this meeting. Other questions to be discussed Is appointment of Bishops for a speci fied term Instead of for life, elimi nation by consolidation of a num ber of church boards, and reorgani zation of major geographical dlvls> ions of the church to avoid naming any new bishops at this conference. May Retire Cannon. The question of superannuation of Bishop James Cannon, jr., who was called to trial In Washington on charges of conspiracy because of alleged failure to report contribu tions to the campaign against Al fred E. Smith In the 1928 president ial campaign, may also be brought up. Bishop Cannon himself Indicated this In a recent issue of the Chris tian Advocate, official church or gan. He urged against being placed on the retired list and saw in such efforts a “method to elimlnte en tirely my official activities, thus re stricting my influence in the church and elsewhere and also greatly re ducing my financial support.” The woman’s missionary council will offer a memorial asking that ordination of women be made con stitutional. Should the general con ference vote this, the question as a constitutional matter would be re lerred to annual comerences ior final acceptance or rejection. Election Of Bishops. Tbe Question of electing bishop* for a term of years, headquarters spokesmen said, has long been dis cussed In southern Methodism. They explained it has previously been supported on the basis It would make church organizations more Demo cratic. Ready for the movement to con solidate general boards, the board of lay activities, a spokesman said, has prepared to go to the confer ence with a strong petition urging that its identity be retained. Prac tically all executive matters of the general church are handled through boards. An economic issue was seen at headquarters In a growing opposi tion to election of new Wshop6. A poll taken by the Christian Advo cate showed 82 per cent of those an swering as opposed to such elections. They would allot the church terri tory to such bishops as remain in office after the conference closes. The general conference will be I composed of 46fi delegates, equally divided between ministers and lay men, representing southern Meth odist districts in many parts of the world. Headquarters estimated that more than 1,000 persons will attend the conference which may last an indefinite time, though of recent years each conference has lasted about two to three weeks.

Man’s Conscience Proves The.Soul, Kramer Declares Evangelist Answers Question, “Why Can’t Man See His Soul?” In Sermon At Baptist Church. Speaking cm the theme. "For what shall It profit a man if he shall gain the whole‘world and lose his own soul,” Dr. James O. Kramer, na tionally known evangelist who is conducting a two-weeks’ revival at the First Baptist church, told a large congregation last night why he knew he had a soul. “Men often ask this question,” he said. “If I have a soul, why can’t I see it? Why, no man has ever seen God. You never see the great things in life—no man has ever seen music. Who ever saw person ality? Man has a soul made in the (mage of God. No man can look at Niagara Falls and say it just made itself. Evidence Of Will Power “And I know that I came from Jrod. I know that because I have a eomaSanoe. Every man has one. You can’t bury it, can’t strangle It, you will always hear from your con science. 1 know that I am divine ’Wjftuae I have the thing called 'will power.’ Man can say to God, ‘I can, X can’t, I want. I will.’ Why doesn’t God force men to he saved,” Dr. Kramer asked. "Be cause God is a father, not a sher iff. Man here on earth has will power because of the instinct of immortality—‘If a man believe in me, he shell never die.’ Columbus discovered America, but he didn’t discover the isle of immortality, and neither has any other man Man Needs God "If a man lived 100,000 years, he would still wish for God. I know that I am divine for the greatest reason or. earth, because Jesus Christ died to save my soul—no other god ever did a thing like that. "Do you know why men are lost? Men are lost because they re fuse to accept the atonement. A man without God is lost. God will do everything that a merciful God can do to save the soul. He has nev er sent a man to hell. He has done all that a righteous God would do ” Shelby To Benefit By NewCoal Rates Set Up By I. C. C.
