NOTES FROM THE CAROLINA GOSPEL SINGERS Yes jt is true. came into the mind of one of these men of which he discussed with another member of thte group. TU/vi. ! * ? a we j ucnucu tu organize una was , successful in so doing. The organization vvi s called '"The Carolina Gospel Singers," After having met. on two or three accasiotis, a ques'-" 3 tion arose, "What can we do for the building up of God's Kingdom ? " Finalty it was deeidedttrat the only logical thing they could do waa to carry tthie gospel in songs and to this end it has been the highest ambition of this group to sirig-th~e gospel where ever opportunities presented itself,^ Since the date of the organization these singers have sung in numerous places and now that the vacation period is over a tour has been _ planned which will carry ^fchese singers into many parts of the southland. We must admit thf.t their programs are carefully planlied and are always enjoyed. Each participant is- an active worker fn the church and is highly rated . eral rulett- : with his fellow man. As a general rule it is altways hard fo>r an organization to stick together, but not so with The Carolina GosDel . SintffTK for they always find Hi ~ a pleasure to sing~~the gospel. So let us help these men to carry on in the name of The Chtjgt. The names of the group are as^ollows: > First Tenolrs Chesterfield Powell Tessie Fulton Second Tenor . Dave Mack ' Baritones Robert Adams R. A. Miller Bassoes Ivory Bowen .Eddie- Goodwin - ? if you desire the' service ol1 these singers, dfpp a card.

When it seems that a minister gives a better sermon every time he appears in the pulpit, we soon find ourselves shdrt of the proper adjectives to despribe it. Therefore we use the phrase, as usual. His subject ..was ( "Why God permits this War". Text. Whatsoever a man soweth', that shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7". Excerpts from his sermon: General Sherman said, "Wair is Hell". One of the foreign minflstcrs of the United States some1 time ago said that Belgium would be hell this winter unless suffici ent food and other provisions could reach them. This condition is brought on by the wtr. If war is hell, why does God permit it? The cries of wounded and dying are hoard amidst the rumble of falling bombs and bursting shells of destruction. War is hell. We have war in our civil community. Individuals fight each other. This is war, nevertheless. Why does God allow it? We often do things that are disastrous and then blame it on God.
