Albert w. CumminS

In the death of Albert W.
Cummins, native Smyrniar
and prominent Wilmington
newspaper man of the News
Journal Editorial Board, Della
ware journalism has lost one
of its most valued members
and the profession one of its
most beloved members. Mr..
Cummins, who was a son OF
the late David ]. Cummins,
president of the Bank of
Smyrna, started in literary
and newspaper work soon af-
ter graduating from Lafay-
cite College. His half century
spent in this vocation, the
major part of which was
editor-in-chief Of the Morning
News, were years of interest
ing and devoted work. AL
ways holding up The highest
ideals Of his profession, he
constantly, in his writings,
moulded public opinion with
an influence for good, made
hosts Of friends and will long
be remembered by those priv
iledged to be associated with
him. Throughout his life he
never forgot Smyrna. He
came back to his ancestral
home frequently and was in
terested in the towns doings.
Only recently he told the writ
er that he looked with pleas
ure to the arrival of The
Smyrna Times with a special
interest in reading Smyrna
Fifty Years Ago" q column
that renewed scenes and Incl
dents of his boyhood days. AL
always looked on the bright
side Of life. Stricken at the
height of his newspaper car
eer, his passing is deeply
mourned.

these compliances have been ap-
proved for payment by the Federal
government. The members of this
committee are R. Harry Wilson,
president of the wheat association,
Robert A. Carton, and G. Arthur
Taylor, who are cooperating with
County Agent Russell E. Wilson,
secretary of the association, and
Lawrence f. Cain, treasurer,
through whom all benefit payment
checks are received for distribu-
ton to contract signers in Kent
and Sussex counties. Many of the
corrections which have had to be
made ON these acreage compliance
certificates include signed state
ments by the producers where
there have been changes in tenants
on those farms under contract, and
also statements properly executed
in those cases in which the 1884
wheat crop was either below the
requirement or in excess
of the maximum acreage. Other
corrections consisted of legal court
papers showing any transfers of
ownership of farms under contract.
The allotment committee met in
the county extension office on the
second floor of the Postoffice build
ing in Dover on Tuesday afternoon
of last week for the purpose of
over some of the 1884
certificates which re
quired attention. In order to clar-
ify those compiances which have
been temporarily suspended for
the allotment committee
and the county agent are planning
to go to Washington.

PASTOR
WILL RESIGN
Methodist Board Decides
Repeal Campaign Was
Gross imprudence'

ATLANTA, June 2s.=P- The
Rev. II. z. McBrayer said Friday
he probably would resign from the
Methodist ministry as a result OF
his conviction by a church board Of
"unministerial conduct" in connec-
ton with anti-prohibition activi-
ties.
The pastor, who campaigned for
repeal Of the Georgia dry laws in
a recent referendum, was held BY
a jury Of Is fellow ministers Ia
haye been guilty OF gross i'm
prudence"
He was ordered suspended until
the next annual conference Of the
North Georgia conference OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
"A charge Of immortality" Eye-
ferred because OF his participation
In the campaign was not sustained.
McBrayer, who occupied the
pastorate Of the Lakewood Heights
Methodist church here. said he
would continue to hold public SER
vices in a suburban Masonic temple
until he definitely decides his
future course.
The minister conducted his own
defense. denied he had received
any remuneration for speeches be-
fore Georgia's May Is prohibition
referendum and commended the ac-
cusations filed against him under
the church law we're vague and
indefinite"
He entered demurrers against
charges that he aided and abetted

murder does not prevent men from
committing murder. There are those
who would like tc have the liberty
to steal In spite Of the law against
theft. Nor Is this true only concern
ing things inherently criminal. In
ranges OF conduct where no moral
issue is involved. there are laws
strongly upheld by social and pub
lie opinion that forbid things which
whole groups OF citizens desire to
90; things which they do. where they
can conceal their conduct. in spite
Of the law.
Is II to be said then that the in
reference of law with bberty makes
laws undesirable? On the contrary.
We have come today widely to c
ognize the principle asserted by Paul.
that law and liberty are inherently
related.
The purpose OF restraining some

back to prohibition when sanity
has returned.
These matters enter only indi-
rectly into the lesson. but 1t is i'm
possible TO avoid them In any honest
consideration Of liberty under law
as it relates TO the liquor habit and
liquor traffic.
Undoubtedly one CT the major
factors in the repeal Of prohibition
was the belief that the law inter-
fered wit.i liberty. In one sense this
was true but those who made that
plea failed TO recognize or en-
phasize the extent TO which prac-
tically all law Is an interference
with liberty.
There Is hardly a law on the sta
tute books that does not forbid the
doing Of something that somebody
wants to do. Even a law against
, 1935-06-28

men by law is that other men may
have their just liberties and rights.
and that all men In the community
may be put upon q higher basis Of
welfare through protection against
the anti-social acts Of individuals CT
groups seeking liberty only for them
selves.
Here in our lesson. however, there
Is the assertion Of a higher law
a law IN the soul OF man himself
through which. In regard TO his
fellow men. he regulates his cwn life
without the need Of drastic state
laws to compel him.
Under this law OF the spirit Paul
makes 1t plain that one may make
the higher use Of his liberty, not by
acting with Selfishness and reckless
ness. but by restraining himself with
free viii and purpose In the hope OF
, 1935-06-28

encouraging and helping his fellow
mer. This may. Of course, be assert
ed In such a way us 70 become q
matter OF freedom.
Paul, It seems to US, would have
been the first to protest against
making life a matter OF negations
based upon the narrow pretudices
and mere weaknesses OF other peo-
pie. What Paul asserts. In fact. is
the high liberty OF the Christian man.
but a liberty exercised with gym
pathy, good sense and the purpose to
be brotherly and helpful.
Where liberty is used for such
ends. 1t carries with II the reason
able restraints which would make
laws unnecessary II everyone lived
in consideration Of, and love toward
