"A LAYMANS VIEW OF
CHURCH UNIFICATI0N
GAMBLER SAYS 1T WOULD
PARALYZE AND DESTROY
SOUTHERN CHURCH.

At the request OF Dawson Metho-
dists the views OF Asa G. Gambler on
the proposal to unite the Southern
and Northern Methodist churches is
printed below. Replying to letter
from Mr. H. Y. McCord requesting
| his opinion OF unidcation Mr.. Gambler
wrote!
NV dear Mr. McCord: Acknowl-
edging receipt OF your esteemed favor
OF the 22nd inst, advising that there
lis a desire on the part OF some of our
Southern AIethodists to know my SEN
timents touching the proposed unltl-
cation of the Southern Methodist
Episcopal church with the Methodist
Episcopal church, | am, therefore, Civ
ing you my views on this proposed
unification.
81 see nothing in the proposition
but the final destruction OF the south
ern church.
Such action means unification on
y by statute.
"Under our present relations we
have lived and accomplished much
since the separation in 1874.
81 have never seen any evidence OF
a lack Of spiritual unity. Our trater-
nal relations have not been disturbed.
The very proposal OF the plan OF
unifcation has paralyzed in a measure
the southern church.
Good and generous men stand
aloof, Withholding gifts and requests
that they intend Tor the benefit OF
their church. They are not to be
blamed for this. They cannot know
what direction will be given to their
benefactions il the plan is consum-
mated.
1T does not suggest any way out
of the unified church regardless OF
what such unihcation may result in,
whether good or evil.
During all the years OF their past
life, as we'll as that OF their families
before them, they have belonged to
and contributed OF their means to the
up-building Of the church OF their
choice They must not be blamed for
their attitude when they remember
the indifference to solemn covenants
entered into voluntarily by both par
ties when and since the separation in
1874.
"While they entertain no feeling Of
unkindness for the Methodist Episco-
pal church, they reasonably fear that
it would ignore the traditions and pol
icies that have prevailed with the
Southern Methodist church from its
existence, and by the operation OF
which it has accomplished so great
good. They cannot ignore these sa-
cred trusts.
LET us hope and constantly pray
that the God Father will deliver us
from what we believe will result on
ly in evil to the entire church. When
we rejoice in the abundant good that
has been accomplished by it, let us
60 on to greater good without i'll
feeling toward our sister church. Very
truly yours, ASA G. GAMBLER"

when the accident occurred Mr.. f.
"A. Kennedy. who was driving the
truck, checked its speed GUST before
reaching the track, but did not see
the train. The people on the street
called to him to stop, which attracted
his attention to them, and in trying to
get what they we're saying the engine
of the truck choked down just in front
of the on-coming train locomotive. The
train was moving slowly i'll order to
stop at the station few feet away.
When the engineer saw the truck he
cut off the steam, reversed his engine,
but saw he could not avoid the accl-
dent. The engine struck the truck
midway between the wheels and push

LISTS OF TAXPAYERS
OPEN FOR INSPECTION
INTERNAL REVENUE COLLEC-
TOR REC YES INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM WASHINGTON.

In statement furnished The News
bv Josiah T. Rose, collector OF inter
nal revenue for the district Of Geor-
ola. announcement is made that he has
received detailed Instructions from the
Hon. D. II. Blair, commissioner OF in
terna1 revenue Washington, ID, g., IN
regard to the preparation of lists OF
taxpayers Tor public inspection.
The revenue act which was APPROX
ed on June ?, 1924, provides that
there shall be prepared and made
available to public inspection in the
office Of the collector in each internal
revenue district lists containing the
name and the postofice address OF
each person fling an income tax re-
turn in such district. The law also
rrovides that the amount OF income
tax paid by each person shall be
shown.
The collector explains that the bu-
reau of internal revenue interprets this
provision of the act as applying to all
returns OF income made after January
/, 1924, whether filed under the pro-
visions OF the revnue act of 1924 or
prior income tax acts. The collector
further explains that the term per
son" means an individual, a trust or
estate, a partnership, or a corporation.
1t is stated that the lists required
by the new revenue law are now avail
able for inspection in the collectors
office, and that the collector has des-
ignated one OF his employees to assist
all persons making inquiry to obtain
the information to which they are en-
titied by virtue Of the new revenue
law
TIE lists which will be open to the
public are the official assessment lists
and they will show a complete his
tory Of each persons transactions with
the government in regard to his in
come tax matters The name and post
Office address will appear on the lists
as we'll as the amount OF tax paid on
all original and additional assess
ments, also penalty and interest pay
ments. The collector states that the
opening Of the assessment lists to the
public NAV interfere to some extent
with the work of his office. The addi
tional duty also means the loss of at
least part OF the services from MS
regular duties OF the employee assign
ed to assist persons desiring to inspect
the lists. The collector states, how
ever, that it is the desire Of the inter
nal revenue service to afford every
facility TO persons seeking the infor
nation to which they are entitled, and
that he is prepared to cooperate with
the public to the fullest possible eX-
tent.
The assessment lists are, OF course,
the basis for all the collectors book
keeping transactions and any addition
al information that might be compiled
would have to be taken from these
lists The opening OF the official as
sessment lists to the public eliminates
all possibility OF errors that might be
made in transcribing the Information
and there can be no question whatso-
ever as to the authenticity of the in
formation given to the public.
