, PAGE TWO THE "OLD GRAY" A1 L. ?1. ? E.PHILl . SOMEBODY MUST SERVE GOD In every age of Ch?; world, there has always b^en a reure-sentative of -the - -twin find. VVhtin the -Athenians with all of their ^ science and {iliilftsuphv1 ( were ignorant of God, it was thr Apostle Paul who stood on Mars Hill and represented the true God through y and inscription of theirs erected to the "Unknown God." When every subject in Babylon bowed to the god of gold, set up by Nebudhadnezzar,! the king, Meshach, Shadrach and duego-stood up for God in defiance of the king's decree. The law enacted under DaWuni by enviouo law muhoroi to suspend worshipping the God of I Heaven for thirty days, only moved Daniel to pray-to God three time a day. The Israelites in Egypt, under hard task masters and in cruel bondage cried Unto-God. Our fnrn nnrnnts in the.dark days of slavery hounded as they were by Negroe drivers and sold as cattle from phice to 'place, cried unto God with bitter tears. '? Scores of incidents could be cited to i corobofiftrr^fche text. But the fact re; . mains without necessary argument, that- somebody will serve God. This is a pronounced victory in favor of is a consolation to christians to know that they represent a cause that has never been forsaken strrcf the. wtSVld was. Nothipg should the fnore move real christians" to.? stand fast in the service of God than the-subject of this discourse. It is encouraging to"" know that in this age of ours with all of itv modern ideas and'inventions,-;its flying shuttles and lightning coihmunica tions, somebody, will serve God. "Strange, true nevertheless that nothing seemingly has lessened real service to God more than the kind of education that is being taught in many of the colleges and universities at this age of the world. Many of . our professional experts have stepped over in to eternity and have done away with everything?over on the-other side. even heaven and the hot place. Then they have come baclt and endeavored ^ to impress their students with the idea Of nothing real in the, great beyond. But the true children of God i ii nut disluibed^ihw least wit^v (iretr uucinne. wn<jn they prove to us that death is not a fact then we \?ill listen to them... Otherwise we will serve God. All of this-f4mply show that-the ? scliuuls1 eainiut he tow Careful?in ttie selection of teachers. "To.-avoid this sort of doctrine; many schools liavy imade choice of ministers as their official heads. But this, is not the remedy, for some ministers are so shallow in the faith of the true God, until fhey take the lead m the.se now religious ideas that science is advancing, in the the credit of Dr.?'D. H. Sims, president of Allen University, that Christianity has never had a stronger supporter, > Not only does he believe in it- himself, but is able to defend it against this "wild cat logic" that's afloat now. ip day, regardless to its advocators. WV have reasons to be proud ,of Allen's faculty, ,for with "their rated abilities, they are not one-sided as-to the-doctrines Of religious faith. Everybody in the world should have heard that wonderful address delivered before the Central South Carolina African Methodist Conference at St Matthews last December, bv 11)v.- P Shaw Wilkinson, pri#ident Of State Agricultural College, Orangeburg. It - i was the city's talk and that of the conference ever since. I have novel heard any speech that would excel it Dr. Wilkinson in that masterful address showed himself not only one ol the leading educators of this country Tiu't a clean cut christian gentleman as -welh-JHfte executives of Styjth Carolina qjade no mistakes in'placing him head'of our state institution. The people everywhere have confidence ir his intellectual ability and his religo " . mitted to his care will meet with the - greatest response on the part of the general public. That accounts for the hordes of students that flock to State f. na/,h year. The president be * lieves in the christians' God and. serves Him. Mrs. Lucy Jphnson Is No More 7" There was nothing sadder than the passing of this noble woman from lather to reward last Tuesday week,at Blaney. She was tjie wife of Mr. C Johnson, one of the leading characters . . . also a loyal suppprter of the "Palmet to Leader." The A. M. E. Church hiii ngver prpduced a better member, thar t sister Lucy Johnson, She was a pow er in her church and community among both, white and colored.
