Texas Methodists Break Ground for Southwest Medical Hospital
Delegates to the Southwest Texas Methodist Conference attended ground breaking ceremonies for the Southwest Medical Hospital in Ban Antonio. A simulated A-bomb blast followed by a countdown led by Bishop A Frank Smith of Houston as part of the event. Delegates held business sessions and an ordination service with appointments for the coming year discussed by Dr Monroe Vivian. The piece recalls Col William B Travis's 1835 Methodist rhetoric and the Alamo defeat in Texas history.
