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!

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. Select
ions for job placements will be
made on the basis of findingper-
