Bishop Collins Denny
OF Methodist Church
Dies in Richmond
Outstanding Opponent Of
Merger Of Two Branches
Was SO Years Old
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, May 13.-Death
late yesterday claimed one of the
South's most prominent and mill
tant churchmen, Bishop Collins
Denny, 88, of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, South.
Bishop Denny, who had been in
failing health for some time, died
at his home here. He would have
celebrated his 89th birthday on
May %.
Funeral services will be held at
pm. Saturday at his late home,
with burial in Riverview Cemetery
here.
Bishop Denny was an outspoken
foe of unification of the three
branches of Methodism-the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, and
the Methodist Protestant Church.
into the present Methodist Church.
In the unihcation of the three
churches at the Kansas City con-
ference in 1888 he presented a
minority report, but his efforts were
unavailing.
Refused New Title.
After the uniflcation had been
completed in 1889 he refused to be-
come a bishop of the new church
and retained his title as former
bishop of the Southern branch. His
opposition to the merger was based
on the contention that it would
place Methodism in the South un-
der the control of bare majority
of the General Conference.
He was a stanch advocate of
separation of church and state and
refused to take any part in opposi-
ton to Alfred E. Smith in the presi-
Dental election of 1928.
Bishop Denny was retired from
active service at the quadrennial
session of the church in May, 1884,
after exceeding by eight years the
age limit set by the conference.
In 1910 he was made a bishop in
the Southern Methodist Church by
the largest majority ever recorded
In an election of that denomination.
Born in Winchester.
He was born in Winchester, May
%, 1854, the son OF William R. and
Margaret A. (Collins) Denny. He re-
ceived his early education in VIM
chester and obtained an A. B. degree
from Princeton University in 1879.
He did postgraduate work at both
Princeton and the University of Vir-
ginia, and received his doctorate of
divinity from Randolph-Macon Col
lege, Emory and Henry College and
Washington and Lee University.
From 1891 to 1910 he was professor
Of mental and moral philosophy at
Vanderbilt University.
He also was the author of several
books on logic and church discipline.
His wife, the former Lucy c. Chap
man of Baltimore, died in August,
1910.
Surviving are son, Collins Denny,
jr., Richmond attorney, and four
daughters, Mrs. John w. Dixon of
Parksley, Mrs. Eugene E. Vann of
Leonia, N. j.; Mrs. Roscoe M. White
Of Richmond and Mrs. Preston w.

Soviet Air Campaign
Hits New Intensity,

Day and Night Blows
Hammer Briunsk

Associated Press War Corresponden


MOSCOW, May 13-The Soviet's
large-scale air war against Nazi
communication centers and troop
and transport columns has reached
its highest intensity, and the Rus
slams declared today it was inter-
fering seriously with ambitious
German offensive plans.
Day and night blows continued
on the enemy's traffic concentra-
tlons on the southern end of the
central front, the vital area which
includes the cities of Briansk and
Orel, southwest of Moscow.
The Germans were trying to
move tremendous quantities of
tanks, guns, munitions and rein
forcements to these salients, and
the Russian airmen were seeing
that the materiel did not get there.
In the ground fighting the Soviet
noon communique said Red Army
troops had captured a height of
great tactical Importance" in the
Donets River Valley near Lisich-
ansk, about 125 miles southeast of
Kharkov, killing more than 1000
Germans and capturing about 1000
men and great stores of military
equipment.
A German counterattack outside
Novorossisk was reported to have
been thrown back as Soviet artillery
continued to pound at Nazi posi-
tions defending the Black Sea port.
The communique said 900 or more
Germans were killed yesterday in
the continuing battle.
Artillery duels we're reported
raging on the Leningrad and Kali
min fronts and west of Rostov.
