so that many more well trained
ministers will be available for SER
vice to our churches. Our ten SEM
inaries are filled and by the end
of this quardrenium we will have
available the largest number Of
trained ministers in our history.
The sad commentary is the 1T of
these trained ministers are doing
work in the church other than
preaching. Many are serving on
boards, teaching and doing admin
istrative work which helps create
shortage. The General Confer
ence became alarmed at this situa-
tiOn and voted unanimously to urge
the employment of laymen in posi-
tions as they become available
now held by ministers wherever
it was possible and feasible. Even
the World Service and Finance
Committee chose not a layman to
succeed DR.. Lugg-but a District
Supt., Dr. Don Cooke, who had
headed the Florida Delegation and
was highly-trained minister,
graduate from Emory and Yale. We
raised the salaries for the Bishops
from $12,5OO to $15,50O so other
important positions can be paid
$15,500, There are surely competent
laymen who would serve in this
financial capacity and not cause
further drain on the ministry. Some
have claimed shortage of mini
sters but this | found to be untrue
in the Pittsburgh and Virginia
areas.
"In fact Bishop CARRIER of Rich
mond has taken in A new minis
ters this year and As last year. One
can we'll understand why young
minister would choose to serve
under the guidance of so Cody
Christian gentleman and would
readily accept stewardship in this
happy environment
''The outstanding recommends
tion of the General Conference was

Methodist Church 196O-1964 called
Jesus Christ Is Lord l shall quote
briefly the part which affects our

arately in nearby churches for this
purpose. Now we are assembled
with the ministers who vote for
ministers only and we vote for lay
men only. We had the rather anus
ing spectacle of having a. minister
nominate a laymen in 1955-but of
course the Bishop know neither the
laymen nor the minister by name
and no one dared challenge or COR
rect the bishop.
Our churches are being closed
and doors pdadlocked, incOnven-
lent programs are arranged for and
o'clock hour for worship in rural
areas when many farmers have not
finished their chores. Is it any
wonder we are losing out with the
rural groups in the Peninsula Con-
ference? Can we honestly ask this
group to help pay the extra $4,000
world service when we are doing
exactly opposite to what the Meth
odist Church recommends? They
want us to open at least one new
church on district each year, not
close five or seven.
"The question was raised at Cen
eral Conference about sending
thousands of dollars to the mission
field in Africa or Asia to establish
new churches, when in our own
local conference there are dozens
of small churches with working
nuclei which should be nourished
and helped to more effective work.
What of the future for our lay
men? Look back 10 years and see
how far our church has gone to-
ward centralizing authority in the
Cabinet and the Bishop. Will this
trend continue until the laymen
have no voice or refuse to accept
responsibility for action? Our
chief function as laymen is to pay
the bills, pay the increased assess
ments, meet all obligations faith
fully but let the Bishop and the Dis
trict Superintendent decide what
action shall be taken and how. All
appointments are made from the
cabinet with the lay leaders con-
senting, SO that only those willing
to acquiese are appointed.
How feeble and insignificant has
the laity become when I, as dele
gate to the General Conference,
elected by the laymen six times,
was denied the privilege of speak
ing five minutes by District Su
perintendent who never has been
elected to the General Conference
and who probably never will be.
His excuse being: the local church
didn't send him as a delegate to
the annual conference and | am
not going to give him the privilege
of the floor If we want equal
rights as laymen it is time we as
sert ourselves and begin to protest
the present trend of events"

Dear Parents and Friends:
The last time we reported to
you about the activities in our
Fourth Grade room, the children
wrote the article. What a thrill it
was, too, for them to see their
paragraphs printed in the news
paper with each child's name
printed beneath his own para
graph
When we found that it was
again our turn to contribute news
from our school we decided that
it would be the teachers pleasure
to communicate with you this
time.
The past eight months have been
full of learning, laughter, love and
loquacity. My boys and. girls won't
know the meaning of the word To-
quacity, but they are learning to
use a dictionary. think when they
nuQ tue tAiCy VIII
that it is true. They have been To-
quacious.
Some of the many things we
have been doing since we last re-
ported to you are:
Learning to make oral and writ
ten Book Reports.
Learning about our Earth and
our own United States.
Learning our Multiplication ta-
bles and how to use dollars and
cents.
We are now studying Delaware.
Thus far we have learned about
the Dutch and Swede settlements
and the Leni Lenape Indians. We
are planning trips this month to
the Delaware State Museum at Do
yer and the Zwaanendael Museum
at Lewes.
Most boys will agree that learn
ing is painless process and that
there is ample time and reason
for displaying a sense of humor.
We have laughed together many
times. For instance, there was the
day / asked the boys and girls how
our soil helps to make us healthy.
One of the boys answered, BE
cause when we were little children
