According to Rev. ]. A. Graham,
as quoted by Presiding Elder Chas.
B. Smith, the acceptance Of the dis
pensary money to build that church
ct Livingston was advised and sane
toned by Presiding Elder Marion
Dargan.
Presiding Elder Smith gave the
best reason in the world why the
Methodist church could not accept
t,.at church built at Livingston
out Of dispensary money which was
that it would be violation of the
State law for them to do so. That
settles it.
If the committee on entertainment
will furnish The Times and Demo-
crat with the names of the delegates
to the State Sunday School Conven-

great pleasure in publishing it for
the information Of the public.
We would suggest Tat the build
ing erected in Livingston by dispen-
sary money, and donated to the
Methodist church, be retained by the
town as public hall for lectures and
public meetings. Every town needs
hall of this kind. "A lyceum course
might be arranged for, which would
be a great help to the people in that
section.
On Friday night the students of
the o. C. l. will give play entitled

1t requires two hours to present the
play. There will be an admission
fee of 25 cents.
When the story about the Living
sion church being built with dis
pensary money was first published
the Southern Christian Advocate re-
pudiated it, and said it was origi-
mated by some sore head Methodist,
but it turns out to have been sane
toned. If not originated, by good
friend of the Advocate. How care
full ought we to be with our pens
as we'll as our tongues.
