A minister should l?c an example I i
during the week of the gospel he L
preaches on Sunday; his sermons :
should include problems in every-1t
day living and he should be Avail- i
??able for counseling at all time . ,
There is a difference" between; j
the preaching of Negro and white i
ministers, taking into consideration i t
of course, their preparation. Be- i \
cause of ?the^eniotional and spiri j i
tual development of Che average I j
Negro congregation, the majority j t
of white preachers would r.ot satis- j \
f.v the needs of most of the Negro I
churches. . <

The Negro preacher has a re- c

morals or sin in any form, even at !

The majority of Negro ministers

MRS. MAGNOLIA A. I
IN ION BAPTIST (HP
1055, AT 3:30 P. M.
Dear Sisters and Brethren:
In lll.Yi ministers of the Baptist!
i '.durational and Missionary C.on\
ention of South Carolina met in
Young Woman's AuxilTary-'to work-t
ith the Baptist K..& M. Conven?.
'ion. I am writing to solicit your]
. ?operation in the organization of
; Young Woman's Auxliary in your
church and association I
At first some voiced the fear '
-... t aat this organization would hurt
the Senior women, but it has proven
to be helpful to the Senior women
and also to the men's Convon- J
I ion. There are many young women
in every church who arc not work-*
ing because they feet that'they are (
not needed among the older and
more experienced women. Some-will
feel out of place working with
? themr; TMrhr-organization offers them
the opportunity they want
and rlced.
The Young Woman's Auxiliary
is helping women find their places'
in the church, helping with t Ti e
Endowment and festering the Missionary
cause. We feel that w e 1
- - could do a much greater job if w e
had the cooperation of all our
ministers, i
Mrs. Magnolia A. Lewis was
elected President of this Auxiliary.
Since her election, she, with"
an efficient staff, has worked hard
to make this organization a success.
Mrs. Lewis and her staff are
putting on a campaign to organize
more Y. W. A. 's. In cooperation
with this campaign, you and your
church are invited to attend a program
at Union Baptist Church,
101G Devine Street, Columbia, Dr.
\
teachers
^eeds Of Most
*ys Minister
in our community are by people
oho du not attend church regularly
in order that they may hear the
gospel.
?As to yroivth of -Rtwe front"
rlmrehes?and?cults, TKe larger
.hurches in our cities are not 01
icanized to reach all of the people
ivho come into their communities.
Because of their crowded yondi
.ioiw^Uie-se people -go .?Cm noticed.
i ?i'sting nrgHniy.n.i inm mw nut ?oif.
4o iriw them work or lender-'
dtip. .Many people come from commmities
with a cm-.tiin mbtfc "of
worship they do not find in our
i' i os exeej t in stoforfvont ch11r?dids
vnd. cults,
'i nert*' aiy .so many nvinisiers of
he apspvl in various denominations
.vithojjt work or ' orelies- that it
s easy for thit'in to assemble'roups
of people and influence
hem to organize new churches,
.vhere nvatiy can be elected olfi's ers..
\Vhile it is title that many of the
ult churches do not use the money
loured into them fur the benefit
vnd -education otk?tiie people and
ire' therefore detrimental, we must
ecognize the fact that .sonieo f
he.se churches on.ee called "store
S'dnt" lulve now become some of.
he leading churchs.
Another failing of our cliprelies
s ^hat many of J horn do. not have
migrants which attract young
icople. However'I do. not believe
hat the niajoiity of churches are i
o.-ing their hold?01^ young people?
ecuuse theft luuya.uianv?of them
n their memberships.
Many young college, men* and
.vomen fail to participate in clrurch
vctivities because the leadership
>r program does not appeal t o !
,hem, or because the churche has
ioc oeen ompnasizeu in tne clove- |
opment of their ?.''ver.tion.
Many of the"pulpits o'f oiiv eouvi-"
;ry are failing to supply informa- j
ion an inspiration To the intclliret
sections of our congregations, J
mt this is ot time of the majority. "
Out of my xperienee of (>5 years
>f pasturing I would suggest that
nore of our Negro denominations
tnd churches give more attention
o the potential candidates for the
ninistry who are not aide to attend
nsitutiohs to prepare themselves.
7 1 would?further suggest that'
"scero pastors.' as a_ group, give
nore attention to the whole man

levelopment. ,

WASHINGTON? (ANP) - The i
Americans for Democratic Action i
has. challenged both political par- !
ties to get off the fence and "spell 1
out. a Mcil lilmtiv* plank'' in tiicii 1
!?">? platform. r
"There is no corner for cowardice
on the Jssue of democracy", J
declared the ADA chief, Joseph L.
Rauh, Jr.
He recalled that there was not a
single 'paragraph on civil liberties j
in either party platform during tile j~
inoi eainjmign.^T"
; The Repuidican party , "has an
obligation", he said, "to tell voters
whether theirs is the party of Mcj
Carthyism and Nixonigm or the
party of Americanism.
Democrats also have an "obliga|
tion to state their position on freedom."
In 1956 they will have no
I excuse for ducking the issue of
I civil liberties." T"

meeting held in Indianapolis last
week, Rauh pointed out that great
Republicans like President Eisenhower,
Chief Justice 'Warren and *
runner Sunatur Harry Cain?have ?
all uttered strong pro-civil liberties
statements.
On the other hand former President
Truman, and the three "most
publicized" 1956 Democratic presidential
canditates have not-<hesitated
to come out publicly on the side
of freedom."
Both parties have "taken a position
on just about every issue from >*
the postal service to Pakistan" in
their platforms, continued Rauh.
But it is arrogant to pontificate
on what is good for America without
talking about freedom, the vary
heart of democracy.
He called it "politically irraapoa
ponsible to bemoan liberties lose te vjjg
