Under the heading, "fie fouling Our Christian leadership," The Charlotte News of January 4th, editorially expresses itself thus in re^ ply to remarks attributed U? the Rev. Baxter F. Mdx-ndon on launching his series of revival services in thai city a few day* ago: Thing* will have come to a pretty pass, indeed, in this community, when no voice of protest is lifted on behalf of the ChfUtian ministers of Charlotte and the many thousands of devout Christian men and women against the vapid vaporings of a man of the timber of "Cyclone Mack," who has appointed himself U> the task of pitching tent in this city for a r<"vival meeting to continue through the weeks. The first thing the professional, itinerant revivalist seems to think it necessary to do before beginning a campaign :n a community is brazen! y to set forth the need for his special and particular services. Of course, to provide himself with that *ori of a necessary background, he is compelled to berate the Godly leaders who wear the livery of the Moat High and who, day in and day out, are quietly. but*efficiei?tly and effectively, keeping the Chprch of God on it# foundations. Hardly, therefore, had the tidings rbme that this self-elected savioi^^id chosen Charlotte for his next camping ground than hi* spurting began. He had looked this field over and, naturally enough, If there was any city in the whole loud that needed somebody to take the scourge out and lash it across the hides of the people, it was right here. -vXhe reason in his estimation, was that the people had been allowed, under the leadership of preachers who were doing nothing but "draw their breath and their salaries," to substitute "Cbuii hiauity for Christianity" Such was the process of reasoning of th" "Cyclone." The pa-t-?r> of Charlotte have asked f..i and need no defense at our hand- against the tactics of the fly-by-night evangelist of the type and calibre of this man. They abound in the confidence of the people. Their Christian leadership is zealously followed. They aro worthy ministers of the Most High, respected, esteemed and honored by our people, and such outbursts, will * in no wise detract from the admiration of our citizens for these humble and sacrificing workups in the vineyard. On the other hand, such invective and castigation form the professional knock-down-and-drag-out type of evangelist will only cement the bonds of affection and confidence that now exist between the* people of Charlotte and the pastor* of Charlotte and make it aiUAhe more impossible for the "Cyclone" to get very far in his efforts here.
