Bro King (whose birthday was today) is pastoring a church that was at one time a very political church. There were approx. 50% for Adlai and 50% for Ike. They wore their buttons and about every car wore a bumper sticker for their man. They did not fight, I never heard a cross word, they were always friends and Christians. They actually sat on different sides of the old frame church. They joked and kidded about it, but those mountaineers and cotton mill workers were serious about their politics.
