McDOWELL. way his associates characterized Bishop McDowell. His sermon on the miracle of the loaves and fishes, which he termed “The Boy With the Sar- dines and Biscuits,” was his most famous and he was summoned repeat- edly to deliver it. Religion with him was a natural trend and development, for he chose it in early youth. As & young man he started out to preach the gospel in terms that the modern world could understand. He was progressive in religious thought and was represented by friends as regarding the first chapter of Genesis, describing the creation of the world and of men, as a poem, depicting God in the center of creative processes. Praised by Dr. Wilson. “If the Methodist Church had a division between modernism and con- servatism,” once said Dr. Clarence True Wilson, one of his close friends and colleagues, “Bishop McDowell would immediately be classed with the modernists. But while he was very progressive, he was so broad that many of his most intimate friends and loyal co-workers were conserva- tives. Here again his eminent fair- ness made him equally acceptable to both classes. When he came to pre- side over a conference every conserv- ative minister knew that McDowell held to fundamentals as firmly as he, | and every progressive knew that he had never gotten out in advance of his bishop—and both liked him.” was the | { | i OLD GOLD AND SILVER wi]l bring you SELING ““look for the g13 STREE 2| THIS NEW 1937 GENERAL ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR 13 PAYS FOR % 15 New G-E Models % New, Faster Freezing Speeds! % New, Easy Out Ice Cube Trays! % New, Thrift-mometer to show at a glance that cabinet temperature is correct % New Full Width S usable storage capacity, even slides! % Automatic Interior Lighting. % All 4 refrigeration services— 1.
