The book on which the movie is based takes place and ends well before 1939. However, the use of "Methodist Church" in the film is an impossibility because Methodist faith in America did not unify under the name "[[Methodist Church (USA)|Methodist Church]]" until after the terms of reunification of the [[Methodist Episcopal Church]], the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protestant Church were agreed upon and voted upon in Kansas City in 1939.
