The Right Ring-MethOdist Bishops

Raleigh News and Observer
The men selected to manage the
Methodist Publishing House forfeited the
confidence OF the Church and the people
when they sent a false telegram with re-
ference TO the claim OF the Church then
pending in Congress. They have done
nothing to retrieve their reputation since
by their quibbling and shabby defences
and excuses. In some quarters, because
of their previous high standing in the
Church. there has been an attempt TO de-
fend them and to say that the Church
could not afford 10 repudiate them. That
Is a spirit born Of narrow sectarianism.
not OF true Christianity.
From the first this paper has declared
that the conscience OF the Southern Meth
odists was aroused against the Stahlman
and Smith & Barbee methods. and not a
cent OF the money could be used without
dishonor, after the declaration OF the
senator's that the bill was passed because
OF Smith & Barbee's false telegram. We
have never doubted what the Church
would do when the time came to act. The
Methodist Church in the South Is COM
posed OF men and women than whom
there are none purer or more honest.
More than that, they prefer honest pow
erty TO wealth that has the least stain
upon IL.
The bishops OF the Church have re-
ceived statement OF the whole AFFAIR
from the Book Committee and have pub
lished the following signed statement:
I'VE have had submitted to us the fol-
lowing papers OF the Book Committee.
