Baptist and Methodist Working Together on Water Plant for Wingate, 1918

“How the Baptist and the Methodist Could Compromise,” from the Monroe Journal, April 5, 1918

The Wingate correspondent to the Monroe Journal says it is a rather strange thing for a Baptist and a Methodist to be partners in a water plant, but that Rev. E.C. Snyder and Mr. Y.M. Boggan, the former a Baptist and the latter a Methodist, are putting a water plant together. It may be rather unusual, but it appears to the writer that such an arrangement will work all right. Water is water, and it is just as necessary for the comfort and welfare of one as the other, and if they can’t agree as to the manner in which the water is used, the Methodist brother can provide a shower bath while the Baptist minister may use the bath tub.
