Shows Faith Value;:Spivey Says) Speaks On Topic, ‘King-' dom Within You’; Says) Material Things Depend| On God And Man Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of Southern College at Lakeland, before a church filled with 600 delegates and visitors to the Dis- trict Methodist Conference at First Methodist (Stone) Church, said that German youth's surpris- ing faith and loyalty in Adolf Hitler, “a misdirected faith”, was the driving power of Germany today and showed the value of that quality. Dr. Spivey’s sermon was on the text, “The Kingdom Within You”. “Fascism, Naziism, Commun-} im”, Dr. Spivey said, “believes | that the state is the measure of} man’s doings, but the Christian Church believes that the eis ure is determined by the relations | between God and man, not the! state and man. “The Christian Church in or- der to make men ‘grow’ must proceed with wishful thinking. Men are not vacuums, and the church must produce a ‘condi-| tion’ in each of its members to} fulfill the aims of this world of| contacts and problems. “Men grow . through food, freedom and through faith”, Dr. Spivey continued. “Lack of food causes discontent + stn the people and over- it, and lack of i > world. Ideas should not be killed by the sword but freedom of speech and! the press must be permitted even | though it be wrong. Finally, a! human being to do things must believe in something and be- lieve in it wholeheartedly.” It} was at this point that Dr. Spivey mentioned the people of Russia and Germany, whom he said were so wholehearted in their faith in their leaders that it was| possible for their leaders to con- tinue in their actions even though | the action were very brutal and) many of them wrong.” H CAMPBELL CASE HEARD MONDAY DEFENDANT PLACED UNDER | BOND: CASE GOES To | CRIMINAL COURT | ; will stop briefly in Miami and Claren¢e J, Campbell, who was | arrested Sunday and placed in} the county jail charged with a/ statutory offense, was arraigned before Peace Justice Enrique Es- quinaldo, Jr., 4 o'clock yesterday for preliminary examination.
