The Cause of aged Ministers,

My Dear Fellow Laborers:
It gives me peculiar pleasure j
to greet both you that it has been |
my good fortune to see from time
to time as well as those ..where ...
our paths have not crossed since :
our last Convention in Anderson.
Believing our role as pastors to
have much in common, I have ofl/i?%

year and Braved that success
would follow your labor and ttratr-1
when adversities may have arisen
to slow down your planned program
that patient and moderated
anxiety would guide your actions.
All of us who have been aware
of the illness of -.our be- j
loved president have been hooir.g ^
that his much used up energy
spent in the tireless effort t o ^
meet the ever increasing demands
of his office would b e ,
strengthened do that point where j
his guidance so nuich needed during
the deliberation of our Convention
would be vouched safe to ,
us- ; . i
Something that have burden |
his heart can be eased by our response
to them. Since our Annual J
meeting in Charleston in 11)49 his
constant appeal in letters, in

President Y. W. A.
news- releases, and?in addresses,
has been for a 100 per cent enroll I
nient of Churches, Pastors, Moderators
and fifth Sunday Urn,,
ions. Brethren if we would only
heed this appeal those who head
our Convention would receive a
most important "shot in the arm"
and much of our denominational
worries would end.
In our 1949 Convention, 51 Associations,
15 Fifth Sunday Unions,
485 Churches and 375 Pastors
enrolled. In our 1954 Convention,
556 Churches, 52 Ass*)
ciations, and 22 Unions reported.
You can see how far we are from
answering the appeal. What will
you do about it? Is the need urgent
enough for you to meet us |
in Aiken May 11 ready to shoulder
your portion of our common
task ?
How much do you believe in 1
Christian education? Is there e- 1
nough denominational?pride rtr ^
your big heart to bring you to
Aiken prepared to do a& you wish '
your members to do when a rrive J
is set for recovering the church ;
or any other important phase of ;
your church work must be finan- j
