BACKsLIDING METHODIsTs
(Gulfport, Miss. Guidel

(Gulfport, Miss. Gulde)
The quadrennial Methodist Gen.
eral Conference has convened in
Minneapolis to make religious his
tory. Among other radical steps
it equalized the races by permit
ting and encouraging Indignation;
it equalized the sexes by extend
ing clergy rights to women and
then gave official sanction to
birth control.
Regarding the last it was stated
before the conference:
1--WE believe that planned par
enthood, practiced in Christian
conscience, may fulfill rather than
violate the will of God" Mar
riage is an achievement. 1t doesn't
just happen. It comprises oneness
in which emotional adjustments
from time to time are effected by
an understanding of right ways Of
living together
AS long as the Methodists have
integrated the races it was a logi-
cal sort of thing to Immediately
do something about birth control
they'll need it.
Methodists don't have to go al
the way to Minneapolis to get 8
whiff of what is taking place ii
this great persuasion which has
made such a substantial contribu-
ton to righteousness in the Eng.
lish speaking world throughout
the years. One need only read the
Mississippi Methodist Advocate. II
a recent editorial under the title
"Some Provocative Thoughts" The

A PETERSBURG READER GETS
A KICK FROM OUR COLUMNS

To The Editor:
This will most likely be one OF
the great number of notes of con-
gratulations reaching you this
week and in the days that will
follow. 1t was with a great deal
of interest that / read your account
of your twenty-one years of pro-
ducing the Coastland Times. have
been reading the Times during the
past two years and found it a
splendid newspaper.
During the past twenty years ]
have spent many of my vacations
on the Dare coast or in Currituck
county and feel somewhat "at
home" when l read about the hap
penings down that way.
/ have enjoyed very much your
editorials and long ago could easily
see that you tried very hard to
help your readers by expressing
views that were for the good of
the community. Many times 1 have
thought of the fact that the people
there were very fortunate to have
some one like you there to give
them such information that other
wise might not be given to the
public. The readers there are to
be congratulated for having the
Times to read,
Also in your paper the columns,
"Glimpses of the Past" and "The
Higher The Fewer" have been en-
joyed very much by me. / have
been glad when the accounts of
the shpiwrecks have appeared in
your paper. / have always liked the
sea and have often expressed my
admiration for those hardy and
courageous men of the Coast
Guard.
My sincere congratulations to
you personally and may you have
many, many more years of good
health and that many years as
editor of the Times, if such is
your desire.

everything else a whole lot of
being left alone.
How the Methodists have back
slidden in our time!
C0mmunistic Reaction
Of all the printed and spoken
piffle that inks us the most are
the repeated reminders like that
above that "Communistic countries
are turning our prejudices into
their best propaganda weapon"
Heaven, don't the Methodists
who promote the Indignation of
the blacks and whites know that
this whole program Of mixing the
colors originated with the reds
and pinks?

The political campaign is over
and the voters have had their say,
We are relieved somewhat be-
cause now we can take up other
things more important than the
affairs of petty politicians.
But we will miss poking fun at
the political stuffed shirts who
take themselves so seriously. For
tunately for our beautiful and pros
porous county, most of the people
go about their daily work and play,
completely oblivious throughout
their lives TO the activities of their
Lawmakers and law-enforcers.
We have reported the results OF
the recent election, but we have
given space for the lead story to
a dog. We believe more interest
lies there.

The big aggressive fuiiback
ripped holes in the Boston
University front wall to help
sink the Terriers. Then last
week 1t was Rollie West again
who almost upset Boston Col
1ege. His field goal effort was
blocked but he recovered it
for a good gain near the end
of the contest. Of course the
greatest back to hit Boston
this year was big Jim Brown,
All-American from Syracuse
who can kick, pass, run, block
and tackle like a one man
team. When Brown carries
the ball he is as destructive
as the once famous Tank
Conrad Of Morgan College.
Why not name him Bomber
Brown? He really blasts his
way through.
