So Answering in the negative that he
would resign as Secretary of Agriculture
while campaigning for the vice-presidency..
Wallace added, ''Mr. Hoover remained in
The Cabinet, didn't he?'' Even if Hoover
had remained in the Cabinet after his
termination it would not have been an adj
1nirable precedent to follow, but the fact
shat Hoover resigned as secretary of
frfnmere shortly after his nomination for
f resideney by the Republican party,
TIE nomination having been made on June
44,s1928. On July Z, Hoover presented
his resignation to President Coolidge, who
expressed reluctance to accept it. On
August 81, his resignation from the
Cabinet was accepted. The record, in
short, discloses that Hoover displayed no
desire to hang on to his Cabinet post while
campaigning for higher office, but on
the contrary sought to leave it long before
his actual campaign began. The question
CT Secretary Wallace's resignation remains
one of prepriety, in view of the fact his
office dispenses millions of dollars TO
potential voters.

 Selections from the Bible include the following: "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.' (Rev. |11:15.)

These are the stars in the crown of rejoicing. They are the lamps in the spiritual heavens of the age, which show the workings of the spiritual idea by healing the sick and the shining, and by mani festing the light which shines unto the perfect day as the night of materialism wanes."

Mrs. Ida Finney Akins was grant, ed divorce yesterday from Ellis R. Akins by Superior Court Judge Alfred 0. Baldwin. The charge was cruelty. The court further ordered the husband to pay Mrs. Akins ali- mony of SIS a week, and awarded custody of minor child to her.
 Originally, MT. Akins filed for di- vorce, charging cruelty. On October 26, 194O, Mrs. Akins filed the cross complaint on which the decree was entered.
 Akins charged his wife with nag ging and neglect of her household duties. These acts, he claimed, caused him to become nervous and fretful. Judge Baldwin, in handing down the decision, says there was no evidence presented to uphold these contentious. Furthermore added Judge Baldwin, "The com- plaint of obesity (which Akins made

 Episcopal Group Helping Overseas Missions
lspecial to The Democratl


 New York, Dec. 28.-The Rt. Rev William T. Manning, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New York has announced his acceptance of ap- pointment as chairman of a group of prominent Church leaders to aid in the relief of war-endangered missionary work of the Church of England. The appointment is made by the Rt. Rev. Henry St. George Tucker, Presiding Bishop of the Church who has made a nation wide appeal that the Church in America do its utmost to prevent the destruction of the vast British missionary enterprise overseas.
 Church aid to England must go hand in hand with military assist ance, Bishop Manning declared in 8 statement commenting upon his appointment as head of the group.
 "A most moving call," said Bishop Manning, land most sacred op- portunity, comes now to all in the Episcopal Church in the situation which is facing our Mother Church of England and her vast missionary undertakings.
 "The English Church is nobly carrying on and is doing her utmost to meet the situation but it is not possible for her to support ade- quately the great missionary work which she has been doing in many parts of the world while her people are giving their lives and their sub- stance in this appalling conflict in which all that we hold sacred is at stake. Never was that splendid mis- sionary work more needed than at this hour. We cannot sit by and see our brother Christians suffer for the very Bread of Life and not go to their assistance We cannot see the Christian heritage of centuries sac- rif1ced and lost under the assaults of Totalitarianism.
 "Our Presiding Bishop asks that
