The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-12-19
WEST PALM BEACH
WILL CHANGE
METHODIST
PREACHERS

the Christmas propaganda and discuss
Methodist preachers.
will tell the world that am in
terested in every Methodist preacher
in the Florida Conference.
According to my notion, they are
Gods chosen people.
A telegram was received late Mon
day night from Lakeland stating tina:
Conference had adjourned and that
Rev. W. F. Dunkle had been as
signed to the First Methodist church
in Tampa, and that Rev. J. R. Cason
who has been stationed at Orlando
for the past two or three years, had
been sent to West Palm Beach.
| had learned to love Fred Dunk!e
and everybody connected with the
Palm Beach Post will regret to know
that he has been sent to another field.
Old Thorn, in his various FOUR
FLUSHES and IDIOSYNCRASIES has
attempted to evade preachers.
Fred Dunkle brought him around
WITH A JERK, and when he calls,
which is every morning right after
breakfast, to look over the various
exchanges of newspapers of the State
to gain FIRST-CLASS POLITICAL
WISDOM for FIRST-C GLASS POLIT-
ICAL WISDOM for FIRST-CLASS
POLITICAL SERMONS, Old Thorn in
variably rises, removes his hat and
hands him the stack of newspapers
with request that he look them over
with cars and call his (Thorns) at
tention to interesting items that he
may peruse.
Ed Naugle, editor of the st. Peters
burg Times, where Doctor Dunkle was
located for four years, wrote me a let
ter when Doctor Dunkle came here
one year ago stating that he was a
"RUGULAR PREACHER and to
treat him right.
Naugle did me favor in connect
ing us, and ! now pass him on to Ben
Bentley and Jason Worthington, Man
aging Editors Of the Tampa Tribune
and Tampa Times, with statement
that Preacher Fred Dunkle is worthy
Of every consideration.
These newspaper 'HEATHEN' are
informed that Doctor Dunkle is very
human, and that he can discuss 9TH
Err subjects than religion.
They are also told that II they get
sick, to send for him, and II they are
Ill enough, he will pray for them.
But they must be REALLY SICK.
He knows how to Judge sick
NEWSPAPER GUYS" and If they
ere just AILING little bit, he will
confer with doctor and the efficacy
Of castor-oil.
Bob and Jason, treat this preacher
right and help him build up the King
dom on earth in Tampa.
Goodby, Fred.
Make that crowd in First Church In
Tampa dig up more than was dug up
In West Palm Beach for your salary
Doctor John Robert Cason,, who
succeeds Doctor Dupkle, is one of the
"TOP- NOTCHERS" in the Florida
Conference.
He breaches the old-time Gospel.
The Methodist Church in West Palm
Beach is in most excellent condition
Preacher Dunkle is what is known
as financial constructive preacher
inasmuch as he invariably clears the
debt on churches that he serves.
Doctor Cason will find the West
Palm Beach Methodist Church in first
class financial condition and without
debt.
Doctor Cason has eight children re-
siding on the East Coast in Dade and
Palm Beach counties.
They are representative men and
women, and this good old-time
preacher and his good wife naturally
wanted to be stationed where they
could be near the children.
Doctor J. R. Cason, Jr.. one of hi
sons, is physician and resides al
Delray.
] wrote Bishop Gambler a personal
letter requesting that he return Doc
tor Dunkle to West Palm Beach
" hich would be favor to everyone
connected with the Palm Beach Post
The Bishop replied, stating that my
letter would have every consideration
Bishop Gambler is very wise ant
knows that newspaper cooperation il
essential for the success of an!
preacher of the Gospel.
When the question regarding ar
\ rointment for the First Church o.
West Palm Beach was presented BY
the presiding elders, I am sure thai
1t revolved in the Bishops mind tina
Dunkle and Cason are both friends o
