ECCLESIASTICAL
MOTIVATION
word which
Motivation is a
has come into the language re
cently and it explains why
many preachers have forsaken
the sinning sheep of their own
flocks and joined Martin L.
King and his smelly crowd of
beatniks in demonstrations ^
across the land. As a result of 1 civic-
motivation the preachers get ! well
ants in their pants and just
have to get out in the streets
and “overcome” something or
other.
And how do they get moti
vated? They get that way from
listening to the spoutings of
bums who worship at the
shrine of Martin L. King et al.
For an instance, here is a
report of a recent meeting of
the Montreat (Presbyterian)
Christian Action Conference as
reported in the Presbyterian
Journal:
“Yes, I went to the Social
Action Conference. But lack
ing the evidence of my own
ears and eyes, Fd never have
believed what I saw and
heard.
“Top billing went to a Har
vard (and Harlem) lawyer
who addressed us three
times. If it is true that the
route to Washington is to go
to Harvard and turn left ,he
may turn up HIGH in gov
ernment circles some day.
“Such a kind of sorrowful
young man—the weight of
the whole world on his 'boul
ders and a pall of gloom ar
ound him like a shroud.
“He spoke to 'iz wearing
madras shorts, no coat or
necktie, and a wilted dress
(not sport) shirt with the
shirt tails hanging out. He
was trying to “say” some
thing but I rather felt his
garb expressed a certain
contempt for his audience.
“Anyhow, the last laugh
came later: because of his
attire he veas refused admitt
ance to the dining room at
the Inn at lunch time.”
The Presbyterian brethren
probably got enough motiva
tion for this character to last
a lifetime, but as a little icing
on the cake they also heard
from some of the loud-mouths
from the National Council of
Churches—the outfit to which
Aveleigh Presbyterian, Luther
an Redeemer, Central Method
ist and perhaps other New
berry churches contribute a
slice of their Sunday gleanings.
So much for the Presbyter
ian men of the cloth. Are
there others? Oh, yes, there
are others—plenty of them. Of
which more anon.
Diverting a bit, here in an
instance of ecclesiastical pomp
and Circumstance to say noth
ing of a super-hearted ego,
culled from a letter to the mag
azine quoted above from one
George A. Miller of Miami,
Florida:
“At a dioceason (Episcopal)
convention where I was a
delegate the bishop at the
I tended from people who were
not. They became citizens thru
difficult processes of immigra
tion and naturalization, except
for some who became citizens
of the United States by es
tablishing the United States
by means of a war.
For those people, citizenship
was not a “so-what” proposi
tion. It was one of the most
important things in their
“ Citizenship means
membership in a country,”
World Book Encyclopedia,
country and its citizens
not really separate.
“ Citizenship involves
and political rights,

ties. Bills of rights in the

“A

du
ll. S.
Constitution and the state con
stitutions guarantee civic-
rights to all Americans. A
child possesses civic rights,
such as the right to worship
as he pleases, from the mom
ent he is born.
“In turn, each citizen owes
allegiance to his country. It is
his civic duty to support his
government, obey its laws, and
defend his country.
“Democratic gover n m e n t
fails unless citizens show the
same eagerness to serve their
country that they expect the
country to show in serving
them,” World Book adds.
Citizenship Day—first pro
claimed by President Truman
in 1952—falls on a Saturday
this year ... a day for golf,
for football, for closing the
summer cottage, for raking up
the first leaves of fall.
But it might be well to stop
a moment and think of the
people who won for you your
citizenship in this “nation of
immigrants” — whether they
won it with musket and bayo
net nearly 200 years ago, or by
crossing the Atlantic in a
reeking steerage in the 1840’s,
or by riding- on a DC-6 in 1948.
And think, too, of the peo
ple who will raise their right
hands this Citizenship Day
and take the oath of allegiance
to the United States—the final
step in becoming a naturalized
citizen—the oath that begins:
“I hereby declare, on oath,
that 1 absolutely and entirely
renounce and abjure all alle
giance and fidelity to any for
eign prince, potentate, state, or
sovereignty, of whom or
which I have heretofore been
a subject or citizen; that I
will support and defend the
Constitution and laws of the
United States against all ene
mies ,foreign and domestic;
that I will bear true faith and
allegiance ...”
In fact, you might even mur
mur that oath to yourself this
Citizenship Day.

Miss Fannie Mae Carwile, 88,
died Tuesday at the Jesse
Frank Hawkins nursing home
after a long illness.
Native of Newberry, daugh
ter of the late William H. and
Mary Peoples Carwile, she was
the oldest member of Aveleigh
Presbyterian Church.
Funeral services were con
ducted Wednesday at 2:30 p.m.
at her church by Dr. Neil E.
Truesdell. Burial was in Rose-
mont Cemetery.
A c t i v e pallbearers were
Claude Monroe, Carter Abrams,
C. D. Coleman, Billy McCutch-

Dennis.
The honorary escort was com
posed of members of the Ses
sion of Aveleigh Presbyterian

J. W. Thomson.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fen-ell
have moved to 1931-B Nance
street in Apartment 3 of Oak-
hall.
The community was shocked
and saddened to learn of the
tragic deaths Sunday of a na
tive Newberrian and his son in
the crash of a light airplane
five miles from the city on the
Newberry-Whit mi re highway.
Dr. Roy Leicester Cochcroft
and his 14-year-old son, Steph
en Alan, were apparently killed
instantly w-hen the plane crash
ed about 5:30 p.m. They were
en route to their home in Bess
emer City, N. C. after visiting
Dr. Cochcroft’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Cochcroft on Fail-
Street. Olin Shealy at Newber
ry Municipal Airport stated
that Dr. Cochcroft left the run
way at 5:15 p.m. He said the
doctor had told him that he had
gotten the plane, a Piper Tri-
Pacer, about two weeks prev
iously and had taken the radio
out. Dr. Cochcroft had been
flying for several years, it was
reported.
Coroner George R. Summer,
who investigated the crash,
said the single-engine craft ex
ploded into flames when it hit
the ground a few feet off S. C.
Highw-ay 121. The threat of a
serious woods fire was halted
by Newberry firemen and mem
bers of the Newberry County
Rescue Squad.
Both victims were burned, the
Coroner reported. He said the
plane knocked off the tops of
two large pine trees and burst
into flames.
A witness to the crash stated
that he saw the plane as it
was lined up an down the high-
wHy for a landing. Apparently
at the last moment, the pilot
observed a car occupied by two
men, two women and a baby,
and sw r erved to avoid hitting
the car.
Coroner Summer stated that
an autopsy was held on the
body of Dr. Cochcroft at the
request of Federal Aeronautics
officials and that no indication
of physical disability was found
to have existed prior to the
crash. The federal agency was
in Newberry Tuesday to begin
an investigation as to the cause
of the crash.
Coroner Summer stated that
no inquest will be held.
