Can you take a joke? There may

blessed with the ability to see jokes
on themselves as clearly as they do
Jokes on others, but most of us are
definitely not in that class. Even if
we try to appreciate 1t and not get
mad, there is usually too much
smart.
But it is, undoubtedly, a good
thing, to be able to laugh at oneself,
and like most other good qualities,
1t can be cultivated. When things
go wrong, just look for the funny
side-there almost invariably is a
funny side When you get so you can
laugh at yourself-not a forced
laugh, but a laugh of genuine
amusement-youll find things are
not so bad, after all.
We all like playing jokes on other
people-should we be less willing to
take jokes on ourselves? Looking at
it impersonally the answer is evil
dent, but when the joke is ON us
it is utterly wounding to the vanity.

METHoDrsTs MERGE INTO
SINGLE BODY
The Three Divisions Have Voted To
Combine

The Three Divisions Have Voted To
Combine
At Birmingham, Ala, April 80.
Americas largest Protestant denom-
nation was brought into existence
at the General Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
when the delegates by vote Of 434
to rs favored the merger Of the
three major Methodist bodies.
The plan of union adopted had
previously been endorsed by votes
of the General and Annual Con-
ferences of the Methodist Episcopal
and Methodist Protestant Churches
and needed only the approval Of
two-thirds of the Southern General
Conference.
The proposal during the past year
had been approved by all but one
of the annual conferences Of South
ern Methodist, receiving Sc per cent
Of the total votes cast in the ratify-
ing process.
The union is actually reunion
of Methodism. The Methodist Prot
estant Church, having separated in
1928, brings numerical strength
of 1885 members; the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, separated
in 1874, about 2,726,00 members,
while the parent body, the Motho-
dist Episcopal Church claims 4,296,-
2S8 members. The total membership
will be over eight million. The three
churches have a Church-School en-
rollment of 6,437,000 and con-
stituency Of over thirty million.
The plan Of unification adopted
involves the calling of a Uniting
Conference within twelve months of
this date at the call of the Bishops
of the two churches and the Presi-
dent of the General Conference of
the Methodist Protestant Church.
This conference will be composed
of 900 delegates. Four hundred from
each of the larger bodies and 100
from the Methodist Protestant
Church. Among its duties will be
to harmonic and combine the rules
and regulations of the three
churches relating to membership.
conferences, ministry, judicial adj
ministration, and temporal econ
omy. Hundreds of missionaries and
missionary institutions together with
domestic schools and colleges and
benevolent enterprises must be cor
related and co-ordinated by the COM
ing uniting conference.

Baseball Standings

With some schools having one and
others two games left to play, the
baseball champion of our division
is already crowned. Perryville, with
a record of five victories against no
defeats, is Mechanically certain of
winning. Should Rising Sun, in sec
.ond, win the rest of it's games, it
could not beat out Perryville. On the
other hand it can easily fall into
a second place tie with Calvert, or
even lower. After the games of Fri
day, May 18th, the teams had these
records.
