t Page Two I THE OLD GRAY By Rev. K, I'hilip Ellis fe War And Wickedness In ruling live Eilde one will readily see that wars are the out come of sin and down, right wickedness. The historical books of c the Bible, and especially Judges, lsa and 2nd Samuel, 1st and-'Cnd Kings together with the two books of Chronicles show but very tittle of anything else but wars, destruction of lives and property 011 the part of wicked kings and rul ers. God nermit such to exist because of the sins of the people together with their disobedience. In fact there is but very little spiritual strength derived by read ing those books, except to see how God delivers His people when they repent of their sins and turn to Him. And say what you will the condition of the world today is not a mere reputation of history but it is God's punishment upon the nations of earth for, their dis???tsgayd-for Hiw ri^Ktyou*. iawr. ami commands. No people can dosecrate God's Holy Sabbath year af fer year, treat- other-nations as - though they were not humn. hate, lynch, burn, they fellowman. Take away their legal rights, measure injustices in law. and hot expect God to intetvcne sometime. The truth is there has been a going away from God by all peoples of the earth irrespective, of race or color. And mark mv prediction, thing^kill never be settle aright in this world todav until nil-nrc-" lodjjo their sins ami get closer to God. Pope Piu? XII asked Cath-' olics throughout the world today to pray during the month of October for a shortening of the war. His appeal for special, prayer was representatives in each country, the Vatican City newspaper. JI Osservatore Romano, -nnrunincod. And believe me he has struck the right cord, and unless churches of all faiths unite with the Catholics in heeding the Pope's request the worst is yet to come. God is not pleased with man's wicked ways To bo conTirVtred. Negro Evangelist The biggest hlutf in the religious world today, is that on the part of Negro Evangelists in what they term revival meetings: To be frank i'O percent of the rated so-called Negro evangelists don't worth the salt that goes in their food. When they visit . von in what they call a revival campaign your church is worst oil" wrv-r. they art> through. Some time I believe they need to approach the altar move than^t]-.e sinners they pretend to call. Money i- their chief oh jet' ivc?rrrrh? he" li.-t? n?f" n&mes that they gr.v re lev ion. .spn ply for the record's sake. Truthfully speaking they have absolute ly no methods to present the people, and so far as the young intelligent people they ai\. a laughinc atoek . Th> i mnlrn thr. ??im? 5appeal to both your./ and old. S'? far as en* or.::./ rne children that's entircdy a 1?>>t art to them. Sinners are made the small end of their revival meeting's. After wh,o6ping and hollowiig fgr an - - hour?or so at'' ?trrtr?( hrimian, then they attempt toeonvertsim hers'' wheh'Tey are as wot"i~wIth sweat as a dish ra/. No energy, ' no voice nor nothing else save an old worn out piece of humanity? Hence no one is saved at such a misguided religious ' . campaign. Now I tell you, unless pastors and congregations with the assistance it")'V''hial who has lx-cn truly converted capture these young people with the twentieth century method of appeal they are gone to destruction and that's without remedy.

F Stewart Just a few weeks still remain . before the reat Baptist hosts of Couth Carolina will meet in Sumter at the Baptist pride of (Negro Baptist) the state to make . _j.'hc Baptist Hall of Fame Rally for the Library at Morris college. Morris college is in need of a library and just a little from the noiv than three hundred and sixteen thousand Baptists who say they art? loyal to rhe cause would " J nit" a library at the, school that would be an inspiration as well as help to unborn generation. Mor ris college haB weathered the storm, she has passed through Trer darkest crisis. She only needs a little push now by putting a good library there and she will go iorth and take her place amor: the great colleges of the Souih. In looking over tht. catalojHi from Morris college and ot'iu r colleges I find that Morris cole re faculty js as strong as any otht r faculty of the state. The faci 1 ty is composed of teachers _ who have . their?Master's degiwfioi.i some of the best universities in America. Every Negro in the stat-- irrespective of denomination al ; tliiliation should be proud of this institution. An outstanding laymen asked me the other day win did so many Baptist preach. er talk _Morris_ college_ "and .do otherwise". I have thought over that expression and I am compell ed to.join with him with one more ami ndment, and that is this: | That there are plenty^ of laymen and preachers whrj^tirllc Morris -tollige to-death but never send a 1 .loo> not need any one to blow a Vn.l, for OO... - ! I'm herself. She talks daily thru the service of the hundreds o f young men and w'otnen who hav-mt?received theil' learning mere are rendering faithful service in their respective fields of labor. What the schools tuauhr now in this progressive educational age is money. . Not money for some old indebtedness but money to build a library. We Baptist boast of our numerical strength but w h a t about o u r financial strength? If each ordained min ister of 12G0 recorded in the Baptist family would sentT five dollars to the Baptist Fame Rally, we would realize more than six thousand dollars. If each deacon of the ten thousand one hundred and .-twenty recorded in Baptist annals would send two dollars each, \\_e would realize about twen ty thousand tw? hundred and for^ ty dollars. And if all the other members would send down one dollar each, we would have almost three hundred thousand dollars. And with the total of three hundred twonty-tivo thousand dollars we eould build a library and a science building that would equipt the school so that it would get rating front almost any board i n this country. But talk is cheap. "nt< ney makes the mare trot." I hope that every minister will brii g this matter before his peoph'^ind see to it that his church ue represented in thdse Hall of Fame. As president of the Alumni association I .in. asking every grad uate and former student of the " "dear old .school", to send not less = .uiiq?~"doliai- -ttr^the?-Library Rally on September 30. You can't forget the school that prepared you for your life's work. Now is the time for us to play our part. Now is the time for us to share in putting the school where we wish it to be.
