 Pioneer Methodism made a rapid growth because 1t never lost contact with the masses. It made a special appeal to poor and disinherited classes and to Negroes. By 1860 one third of all American Protestants were Methodists.
 It was the slavery issue which caused the first great dissension. After the 1844 General Conference ordered Bishop J. O. Andrews tc cease episcopal functions until he had freed himself of the institution of slavery, southern church leaders met at Louisville, Ky, in May, 1845, and formed the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
 The Civil War widened the breach, and peace brought no remedy, for Secretary of War Stanton turned over to the northerners the houses of worship in southern Methodist

Mexican Oil

MKEXICO seems headed for some kind of crisis per-
1Vl haps civil result of President Cardenas
seizure of American British and Dutch oil properties and
- ~ what that did in Mexico. Our liberal and
que VIZ" radical thinkers telling us that in this
N""e''"0' crisis, whatever its nature, must take
sides with Mr.. Cardenas, because Mr.. Cardenas is
goodheared lover of the great working masses even If
he did throw thousands of them wholly partially out
of work when he grabbed the oil wells.
That beside the point The point that in the mod
ern world oil is power. Countries with adequate oil sup
plies enjoy hope to develop higher living stand
ards than countries which have to pay through the nose
for OIL Consequently, countries with enough oil are
stronger than countries without enough oil.
If we encourage Cardenas to stand by his guns, we
encourage other small nations having oil deposits to
chisel and blackma their oil customers That won't
hurt u.s. because have plenty oil of own. But it
will hurt Great Britain; and weakened Britain, in to-

Who Are The Fascists?

I do not say that I do not
believe all I read in the paper,
but will you kindly explain the
recent doings in Brazil? If I re-
member correctly, the cry Of
Fascist" was raised against
President Vargas when he took
steps to establish a totalitarian
form of government in his coun-
try some months back.
Now I pick up the paper and
read that Vargas, with great
personal courage, came out on
his front porch and directed q
gun battle with Fascist" revo-
lutionistS. (There was some
thing about Vargas pretty
daughter having a hard time
from keeping her president
father from personally shooting
the insurrectos. I will let that
pass for "color writing.")
This simply does not hang
together, take it from this gull
lible reader of a free and un-
biased American press. Perhaps
it is about time you g editors
stopped bandying labels around
indiscriminately in your impair
tial treatment Of the news of
the world.

Ought To Be Shot,

I'm getting a little sick Of all
this praise your paper is giving
these nit-witS who insist on
shooting off their arms and
legs for dear old loyaliSt Spain.
If these Reds are silly enough
to 60 to Spain to fight the Com
munist battle, it's nobody'S fault
but their own.
General Franco is doing
good job hopping up these rene
gades. Anyone from the United
States who fights against
Franco ought to be shot. It's
too good for them. Any red
blooded American ought to say,
"Well, I guess America is better
off without them"
The great newspapers Of these
United States ought to unite
against all these Reds. The best
way is to keep them out of your
papers. You know how all these
criminals and murderers here
like to see their names in the
paper. Well, it's just the same
with these Reds. They like to
see their names in the paper,
too. TENNESSEE.
