_ I am" not the ollicial reporter ol
tile Baptist Educational and Missionary
Convention of Stfuth Gato:
lina which rlosed its session May G
at Ruck Hill. Anything that I may
say is my own personal opinion
and is subject to repudiation. The
liidH session revealed tnahy things
One of the most outstanding*thing
was, Baptist Leaders are afraid to
attempt Big Things. Like the recent
legislature, the 1038 eonven
tion is noted for what it did t it
do. We made no plans for anything
definite. We generalized,
made long speeches, took up cob'
lections foralT_whi>_<j)oiie whvn.pos
_sible and every progressive plar.
LiUrU?iurs?presented?was referred
to committees that"were never appointed.
We did call with trumpet
blast the-names of, those who gav<
to the several rallies. We did raise
more money as far as cash was
concerned. We did pay for Stat is
tical Reports that we have been
paying for since I was a young
man. I do not reeall^one thing
that was done except the vote tc
Keep All the Auxiliaries from doing
anything that the parent body
did not know how to do. "It wasa
because I can't you better nol
try." Time will toll the impotence
of such a vote.
We did not fuss. There was
nothing to fuss about. We did. not
debate. There was no proposition
to be debated. There were no fiery
discussions, because there was noth
ing' suggsied thatwould challenge
the composition of sentences thru
which eloquence could get heated.
There was ho contesting because
there., was nothing at stake. N'oth-~-ing
was?up-and n?body stirred up
anything^
If I had to name the most out
standing feature, I wuooluld name
delegates. It wan o palm oonvon
tion. We all agreed to agree to fill
all our thinking with Voluntary
? Inertia. Many things were mentioned
but they went to committees
that wore "never appointed.
Kev. G. G. Darnels ably carried
nn in the place of Rev. Butler who
_____ was sick. Rev. Means ably assist,
Rev. Jenkins with the secretarial
work. All the ,speeches including
that of Dynamo Campbell were
long and in many cases fine sleep
producers. The sermons were vehemently
delivered and happily assnted
to. The prayers were vociferous,
well timed and aimed at
the hearerflr The singing was puremittee
reports were copies from
the minutes. I may be too gloomy
about the whole convention, It
I ~
may be I am seeing RED because
all the other bij? preachers had
theii I29.UU hlid 1 only had $13.U(h
It might be, 1 am BLUE because
I aid not join the truinpeteers
Wednesday night when they kepi
calling tor Dynamo Campbell am.
1 was outdoors watching lrom tht
side lines. Then it mjiy be that 1
-aw?downright?mcnii?and'?selfish
because they told me to hush in
the board meeting. Whatever is
wrong with what 1 saw "and observed
I am sure that all will agree
that we are led Ly Staunch
conservatives. 1 am not a conservative.
I am a Baptist Mew lJeaiei

A Ye-. Beginning with the v

nore freedom and more represenation
in the councils of labor.
6 Q.?Do you believe that the
>olitical and civil rights of the \Y.
;vo in the South are more likely
o be promoted by the pacificatory
>oIicy of Franklin D. Roosevelt
han by the frontal attack on the
^ourteerrth^arwl -Fifteenth AniehcD
nent whictf* the Republican Phrty
ince attempted and afterwards a andoned
?
A.?Yes. As evidence we have
evoral of the southern states' enOUraging
Negroes to assume and
naintain their political and civil
esponsibilites, in the councils of
Democracy. This policy of the
J resident has been far reaching,
ursting oven the confines of the
Democratic Party, brushing aside
'hi Southern traditions with as
ounfling amazement?only recent
v Nl'gru athlete's invited tr.
'exas and competed with whites in
Dallas. Negro pictures and classes
are appearing in Southern
newspapers. Texas, Alabama
leorgia, North Carolina and Yirinia
as well as Oklahoma recenty
-competed, with Negro Athletes"
a the Pennsylvania, Iowa and Kan
URTClafys. In every phase '.f out
national life, Roosevelt's poljeies
ave lifted the race highc.
7. Q.?Is the continued ascenency
of the Democrat in National
lolitic.s calculated to a fleet'adverse
y the status of the Negro race as
, whole ?
A.?No! It is calculated to raise
he status of the Negro race as a
/hole. The Ntgft* must profit,
owever, by the-mistakes ~t>f thi?
segro Republican leadership. He
aust rise to the occasion of assumng
and maintaining his due socal
position. - He must practier
oyalty, unity ^nd impress upon
he race the necessity of - sharing
he responsibilities of the Party, as
veil as the assets. He must be
aught to pay ?oll tax and regiser.
He must be taught that which
ie has never been taught by the
tepublican Negro Leadership, thai
itizensbip carries with it the 10ponsibility
of fihancial support,
ffective organization and activiies
just as strong on the "givers
nd," yes?stronger than on the
receivers end." To achieve, you
11 ust serve.- To receive von lvtiisL
;ive. With these principles advoated
and practiced, there will b(
tt adverse status.
8. Q.?What is your opinion
oncerning the relative attitude of
he old line bourbon Democrats of
he South and tho New issue?rrf
,ily White Republican of that secion
?
A.-^-The ol(Lline-hombom-Den>f^
rats of the South live in the realm
f their traditions and retain theit
laditional pride. However, bach
f this, they like the Negroes and
ong for them to be one of them,
?ut thev cannot arise to rv>?
lion to ask him. Thus, they ask
10 grounds and give none to those

of the South are the sel^sh
