BISHOP CLAIMS CHURCHES GET "HARDENING OF THE ARTERIES"

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 9, (UP)--Bishop Harold Wesley Flint of Atlanta, Georgia, attending the meeting of the board of bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, suggested tonight that, "It would be a good things if a hurricane or earth-quake could destroy all our churches once in a century."

Religious denominations, he said at St. Pual's Mthodist Episcopal Church, resemble political parties and governments in that they tend to get "hardening of the arteries."

The bishop argued that on organization when first established works for the idea that conceived it, then works for itself, and finally "works the people for its own benefit."
