Bishop James Cannon Jr., against
whom ecclesiastical charges have
been filed, has been urged by his
fellow prelate, Bishop Horace M.
Dubose, to resign and thus relieve
a "pained and distressed feeling in
the Methodist Church, South.
DuboSe said he had written Can
non, Aug. 10, asking him to make
the sacrifice for the benefit of
church harmony. Copies of the let
ter were sent to all bishops of the
church, Dubose said.
Il did not undertake to tell him
what to do" the Tennessee prelate
stated; but I did suggest that he
make the supreme sacrifice to re-
store harmony in the church be-
cause of the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed against him for reported
dealings in the stock market and
his failure to answer questions in
the United States senate concern
ing the use Of political funds in
Virginia.
