Chickasha Telegram: Rev. G. II. Ray
pastor OF the NJ. E Church, South
preached a sermon yesterday Sunday
morning which was not exactly expected,
though there was nothing inconsistent in
it so far as his past utterances are con-
cerned. The weather was Indictment, and
the greater part Of the congregation was
composed of members Of his church. and
the pastor took occasion to say IN sub
stance that the time has come in Chick
asha when the members of his church
must decide which is Of most value to
them, the dance or the church. To carry
both will be possible no longer. Rev.
Ray stated that he would not do for
the pastor of a fashionable church where
such things were tolerated. Dancing,
card-playing and kindred evils belong TO
the world. and not TO the church, and
there could be no compromise. He an
nounced that he would resign before he
would assume any other position.
