And may I say that we '? Bre prepared to entertain the Conference. In the beginning the housing situation appeared to be a s- :< problem. But we canvassed both night and day. And with the fin11. est cooperation of all the ministers pf Clharlptttnn, de! ! nominations we are prepared to put over one among the best pro,-. ??' grams in the history ofthe eonc: rference. In the Palmetto Confert*k _ ' ence we have ihe best ministers in the denomination. This is true - ;-from the smallest mission to the r largest station. The three Presiding Elders Drs. T. J. Miles, J.

We have homes for local ministers as well as pastors. All of them together with lay-members will be assigned pn their arrival. This Conference has been leading the others in subscriptions to The Palmetto Leader. But as some other Conferences" owe so" much, there should be a healthy subscription from every Conference in-the-state In fact readers of all denominations and no denomination must renew this year, if they want to read the paper any longer.

The aid of the Girl Scout" and Boy Scouts under the leaderships of Mrs. J. E. Dickson and LeRoy F. Scott respectively, will give tremendous support to the Seal Sale.

So again and again we ^ re called upon to sow the seed |{| of Deinrocracy anew and fertilize a; it with the blood of heroic men ^ and women. - j In our school reader yean ago, we had a poem, "lloratio at the gj Bridge." This stirring line clings ^ in memory, "How can man die better than by facing fearful odds m mid the ashes of his fathers near the temple of his gods." ^ You know if a cause is big enough, if it is just, if it is true , any man will give his last full 1 measure of devotion to conserve m it. We believe with Jesus, that w if one gives his life for the highest and best he, will find it again. . However, the - acid test of any ' 1 ideal's value is its utility. Hence, ^ we believe that the individ""1 ia the test of the democratic pro- jjj cess. Not of any particular race, color, or creed or religious con- J"r cept. But,, like the- itiealogy of h1 the ploughman poet, "A Man's " Man fer A' That " til A boy or girl ought to feel as they grow into manhood or wo- kf manhood that opportunity awaits 5C them if they possesses character, .v< ability, and initiative. Facing Bi life's challenge ought to carry the 'e hope that I shall not be thwarted UI or shunted aside but that the doors of tomorrow are mine to en- C! ter if I am worthy. Unless this lb . is true,?Democracy , boconiQii?a.G* - -nlogari ami slops at that! Democracy must become an affair of the heart, not merely an intelectual "n assent. By heart I mean what la the Bible means, ah affair of in- ir terior life, of the oul, of the innermost chamber of personality, in I am afraid there is a tendency to ,t make democracy external," formal \V and ritualistic.

I believe in (Jod. I believe ar -that out of one blood He made ali by nations to dwell together on the e face of the earth.

Tears as we v'| enter so closely into sympathy tc ? with another in the los of loved hg cries on field of battle, on sea 01 sp home front. on A few days ago we were stunr.ed as we read of that reprisal raid on an English town. A school El building well marked as such was singled out for attack. The dem- * olition bombs left it a thing in ruins, and in it were the broken and mangled bodies of English gr boys and girls, bleeding and dy- m in. There was a strange communion of-pairrr ATew blocks away from where I live, I saw a blue star moved out of a window gr and a gold star inserted. My XI heart ached a bit. No question as to wether the mother inside was white or black. Blood, sweat, and tears may be oh a just aicueinists lurmuia or one th Christian formula to change the j Brass of Bigotry into the gold of Democracy or human brotherhood. 1111 Micah extended the antenea of Gr his souf and caught a message to -be -transmitted^to the world <TT ^Q men. Hear hint, "What does the Lord require of thee?But to do '?' justly, love mercy, and walk hum- Cc bly with thy (God." The tyrant 7 dies, his ill shares his untimely aj 'grave. Hate withers the soul that is possessed of it. Truth travels Pe her conquering way and freedom mi shares her company. The Bastile vis gates were battered in, and out j came Liberty, fraternity, and equality. VaUcy Forge welded a Pr wreath for the Statute of Liber- ar ty. The surrended swords at 0u Kichmond -became plowshares to till the productive earth of freedom. But our task lingers. To- 11 Jay, Democracy struggles to sur- wl vive a death battle with totalitar- lit anism at home and abroad. We believe that the Swastika will be the largest tombstone the world uU has ever seen. But it will be cost ly to make it so. There is hard work ahead. But if a just and durable peace is to be secured so < that peace will not be just a pe- [ { riod of rehabilitation for this aw- , ful thing to start again, we must make democracy work. Men witt never-6<r slaves again. Freedom, is contagious and stimu[ lating. Once tasted it is like the Ibe I Genii from Pandora's box. One en I can never be caked or satisfied in | chains. I know it will not be eas- p lily achieved but wherever^. good Pr men dwell, labor, or worship, they must make the struggle there For w e share with Lincoln's Li L_i!Ghriatian?i)em0Cjacy"""Is theUi ( * *.
