Moore leiferson Standard Life Ins. Co. 888-8919 Hoane Office: Greenaboro, N. C. There is a terrific contest going on for the soul of man. God less and atheistic Communism is challenging Christianity as never before. The Bible teaches and exper ience proves that you cannot com promise with evil. It seems that we could learn a few lessons from history. We should have learned that lesson in World War 11. And we should certainly know it now that we cannot compromise with or appease atheistic Communism anywhere in the world. Hitler wrote in his famous “Mein Kampf" what he planned to do. He did it because the world did not take him seriously, al though he put them on notice. The Communists have stated in equ ally clear terms and repeatedly that they are dedicated to world domination. Khrushchev said it bluntly that “We will bury you!’ Recently Dr. Billy Graham preached a powerful sermon in his Pittsburgh Crusade on the Second Coming of Christ. Fe pointed to the many prophecies which were fulfilled in the first coming of Christ Then he said that there are even more pro phecies in the Bible concerning the second coming of Christ and the end of the age. He thinks it is near. Students of history know that over the centuries the average length of an era of society is about two centuries. Like Dr. Graham, I believe that we are rapidly approaching the end of this era and that the biblical re turn of Christ is imminent The 200th anniversary of the found ing of this republic will be in 1976. Time will tell. ( St Paul in II Timothy 3 lists many of the things which trou ble this age such as fear, un certainty, violence as marking the end of the days: ’Understand this, that in the last days there will come times of stress. For men will be lovers of self, lov ers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their par ents, ungrateful, unholy, in human, Implacable, slanderous, profligates, fierce haters of good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, hold ing the form of religion, hut de nying the power of it.’ Some of you will say that all these things have happened be fore. They have, but not with such intensity. Never in the recorded history of man has there been such wholesale destruction in hu man life as took place in the Hit ler and Stalin concentration camps. Read the new book, ’The Great Terror* by Robert Coo- At present, the greatest pro blem in America is apathy, per missiveness of evil, lack of sup port of the things of God. A well- known psychiatrist, Dr. Smiley Planton, wrote a powerful book, “Love Or Perish.’ In the book he points out that if we don’t teach our fellow man to love, we and he will both perish. Soon Christmas will com memorate the first coming of Christ It should also remind us that He said He was coming again. And He told us to Watch!

OPPORTUNITIES At the annual organizational meeting of the Laurens County NAACP convening at Friendship A.M.E. Church of Clinton last week, Attorney James Felder spoke to the mass meeting, be fore the election and business session, about “Present Oppor tunities of Negroes in the South’’. Although his subject was a broad one, the attorney 's address centered chiefly about job oppor tunities and matters pertaining to Negro economy. Fe spoke of the many industries now offering job opportunities to Negroes. “The color of skin, "attorney Felder said, “is no longer a barrier for Negroes in finding a place in the main stream of America's economy when it comes to better jobs and high salared positions.” Better jobs will not be given for Negroes merely because they are Negroes, he emphasized.
