Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Coul-

their thirty-second wedding
anniversary on June 9th last
the day on which their
daughter, Sidney, became the
bride of the Rev. Victor

The wedding was such an
impressive and brilliant affair
that almost everyone seemed
to have completely forgotten
that it was a "joint" marriage

over the occasion and were
among those who did not

Over the Island" and Sub-heaC
Puerto Rico as a Territory"
Defines Legal and Moral
Obligation"
Following is an English
translation of a part of the
articles and excerpts:
George w. Abbott, Coun-
sci of the Committee of In
terror and Insular Affairs of
the House of Representatives,
said today that "any political
unit, including Puerto Rico,
should be either within or
without the orbit of sovereign
ty of the United States"
TN a discourse given at the
Graduation Exercises of the
Christiansted High School in
the Virgin Islands, Abbott
placed Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands in the category
of unincorporated territories,
in which the degree of self
government is measured by
the advances in their political
status"
Abbott's discourse contrast
ed drastically with the recent
appearances made in Wash
ington by the Governor Of
Puerto Rico, Luis Munoz
Marin, in which the Governor
said that in his opinion, the
Congress could not morally or
legally alter the status Of
Puerto Rico without the con-
sent of the Free Associated
States of Puerto Rico.
According to Abbott, Con-
gress has the power to give,
to deprive, and to rectify, and
this pertains to the territories

An amendment to the consti-
tuition Of the National Metho-
dist Church that would make
it possible for a Negro church
to join a white conference was
passed by the delegates yes
terday. At present, all colored
congregations are members Of
conferences in the Nationwide
Central Jurisdiction, while white
churches belong to conferences
having set geographical bound
aries.
Discussion Lacking
The action, taken with sur
prising absence Of debate, re-
suited in 451 to 80 affirmative
vote. The lack of discussion was
attributed to the effective pres
entation Of the amendment by
DR.. C. c. Bell, superintendent
of the Lynchburg district.
you are not voting on inte-
grafton or segregation or any
other kind Of controversial
action this morning." DR.. Bell
explained. This is merely a mat
ter of the technique of pro-
cedure in our jurisdictional
setup."
Stressing the amendment was
based fundamentally upon the
principles Of democracy" the
speaker claimed under the pro-
posed procedure each section OF
the country could determine for
itself what action it wishes to
take.
THAT is the basic funda-
mental of democracy, the right
Of self-determination,'" DR. Bell
declared. IF something affects
the great State OF Minnesota, we
shall trust them to decide what to
do, and they will trust us to de-
eide. The great end Of American
Methodism today is to maintain
the unity Of our church and not
to impose the will of any section
upon that Of any other section
Of our church."
Two-thirds Votes
Under the procedure setup
by the amendment. a Negro
church seeking to transfer from
the central Jurisdiction to a
white conference in which 1t is
geographically located must not
only obtain a two-thirds approval
Of its own conference, but a SIM
liar approval by the conference
to which it applies.
Last week the Baltimore an
nual conference at Westminster
Md. voted to approve the amend
ment, 1853 to Z.

scheduled to be taken up yester-

ference's position on hydrogen

Young people to believe God

knowledge but they will be ir-
responsible and follow only the
law Of their own desire"
He then declared the churches
have a strong stake in education
and must do something ito dis
sipate the attitude of secularismI
and materialism in the world
today. 1t we are going to give a
