THE OIiP GRAY By Re*. E. l'hilip Ellis i 4^^>-X"X"X"K-X"M"X"W-:*v I WAR AND THE.CHURCH Say what you will but unles Che church of Jesus Christ be 1? coinos *? ?'-iive in the bringin about of peace God only know wher* our destiny will end in th world today. It appears that th _ Christian church is looking ex clusively to the government oflflc ials to bring these destructiv wars to an end. And 1 am afrai that they are looking to th wrong source. In all wars fough in Biblical history the church too ? ?the initiative in bringing peaci rGideoh's battle was conquered b Special consultation with Got Joshua's triumph of the fallin walls of Jericho was Che result x the church. Elijah conquered th Syrians which was the result c the church. Hundreds of inc tlents can be cited in the Bib] where kings and rulers looked t the prophets to importune God i the interest of peace. But Strang strange to say?that the Christia church is standing today wit folded arms awaiting on fh heads of governments, senatoi and legislators to bring these tei rible wars to a successful close am of the opinion that it will nei er happen. So far there is notl ing enepuraghig can be read ( the war situations. We hear Pre: ident Franklin D. Roosevelt's fii side chats and radio speeches a not to forget God. It does seei to me that bishops, moderatoi and heads of all denominator should come together and deck upon a week of prayer and requei all of their communicants to ol serve the same for victory ov< something would be compelled 1 happen. THE PALMETTO LEADER OTie-among the leading men < Charleston said that the aho\ paepr is the best in the south. W certainly appreciate his compl ment. He said that it is not onl a clean publication but is the mo: newsy sheet on the market. No it is a fact when you want to her doings from churches, irrespecth of denomination, read this pape Clean political news can be four ' in this paperr- News of fratemi orders are released-ttrrougd-tnet columns. To my mind it's a r flection upon Negroes every whe: to neglect reading this paper. Ar to read it year after year vvirl out paying for it is a sin and tfhame. A SAD PASSING Our metropolitan city wi shocked last week tni hearing the death of a noble woman th0 person of Dr C". S.
