"CYCUONK MACK" E0A8TB0.
Charlotte I'aper Kmnlh. Tactic*
I Hid |i> Evangelist.
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.
Exactly.
"Bredern, we must do something to
remember de Status Quo," said a
negro preacher to hi* congregation.
"Brudder Jones, what am de Status
Quo asked a member.
"Dat, brudder," said the preacher,
"am Latin for de mess we's in."
