METHODIST EDITOR
URGES UNIFICATION
Opposes View Of Bishop Denny
That Every Annual Conference
Must Indorse Plan.

P1 the Associated Press.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 12.-Dr.
w. P. King editor of the Southern
Methodist Christian Advocate, took
issue today with Bishop Collins Denny
Of Richmond, Va, on the degree OF
unanimity necessary before the de-
nomination can complete a proposed
union with two other branches of
Methodism.
The unification plan already has
been ratified by the Methodist Protes-
tant and Methodist Episcopal denom-
nations. It now lacks only the ap-
proval OF the Methodist Episcopal
Church South. The Florida Con-
ference, first to act on the question
in the Southern branch, voted 248
to 6 in favor Of the proposal Friday.
DR.. King, In outlining his views,
made public an editorial to appear
June l8 in the Advocate. In it he
said that to complete unification all
that is necessary now is to obtain ap-
proval of three -fourths of the COM
bined memberships of all annual con-
ferences and two thirds of the men,
bership Of the quadrennial general
conference.
Bishop Denny, in an article in the
Advocate June II, had contended that
not only was this necessary but also
every annual conference had to in
dorse the plan by at least majority
vote. He based his contention on the
church law of 1903.
