This is a rfeddd-r Rev. A. T. Persons Replies To President The Rev. A. Thad Persons, pastor of the McCormick Baptist church, and former pastor of the Wood- lawn Baptist church in Augusta, has forwarded his reply to Presi dent Roosevelt’s recent letter sent out to ministers throughout the country. The Rev. Persons in his letter said: My Dear Mr. Roosevelt: “I reply to your letter of recent date out of a heart of appreciation. With the wealth of our nation largely in the hands of a few; with millions of men unemployed, at least partly, thru no fault of their own; with probably some partiality shown in the administration of the government funds; with the large amount of money being spent on our armies and navies; together with the seeming breakdown of our capitalistic order—you have been bringing about some needed changes in our economic order without the shedding of blood. “In serving the forgotten man, as well as all other men in the na tion, directly or indirectly, you are serving Him who places infinite value on every personality, colored or white, brown or yellow, employ ed or unemployed. More power to you in your efforts to bring about the rule and reign of Christ in the political, social, economic, national, and international order. “You are to be commended for the new Social Security Legislation, recently enacted and for your de sire that it be carried out in keep ing with the high purpose with which the law was enacted. Yon are to be congratulated for your desire that the Works Program shall be administered to provide employment at useful work. Th® handicapped, thru no fault of your own, you are working toward ' the realization of your ideal that the program shall provide employment at useful work, and that our unem ployed as well as the nation as a whole may derive the greatest pos sible benefits. “I commend you for your efforts on behalf of peace. However, I de not think that a reign of peace can be ushered in by means of larger armies and navies. Don’t you suppose the Master is rightc ‘Love your enemies; They that take the sword shall perish by the sword.’ “I realize that your hands are ‘partly tied.’ But I know you alse realize that ‘without the shedding of blood there is no remission cl sin,’ that only by the deliberate act of your will, at whatever cost, to be true to the inner voice, can abun dant life be brought, by God thru you, to cur nation. Continue t« live at your best. You are thru God, helping to usher in a oetter economic, social order. May God make you perfect in every good v/ork to do His will. “Sincerely, “A. THAD PERSON'S.” ■i^in \■ » ■ .i ■ i _ 'mirnm November 1 is 186.1 pounds per acre, compared with 170.9 pounds in 1934, and a 10-year average yield (1924-1933) of 177.1 pounds.
