president of the National Baptist
Convention, Inc. emphasized the
Regeneration of the general church
program to develop sace leader
shi9 endowed with a broader scope
of initiative" He stated that "the
church must contend for the solu-
ton of race problems" and that "its
activity must not be narrowed in
to only getting people ready for
heaven" but must include "a sti-
mulative program to better living
conditions here on earth.
The astute church heralded the
church as the "only organization
through political, economic and eli
vii rights may be gotten" He ex-
planned that strict political and
civic organizations had been STUN
ped in their attempts to absolute
ly relegate the Negro from the
throes of injustice and discrimin-
alton.
'"The church." he said, "has the
leadership in which the public has
spiritual confidence and which
holds the respect of the capitalist,
the professional and the laborer.
Why can't it utilize this power to
bring about the economic rein
carnation n social readjustment, abb
solute political participation for
the Negroes in all America as It
has used to instill the principles
of Christianity?
ITO be right with God" he con-
tinued land unable to make a liv-
ing is a travesty upon sound de-
relopment; to accept the teachings
of Christianity and be denied the
freedom of democracy and social
development Is against the grain of

augurated as chief executive of tie

clemency. 1 therefore grant a 30

"Also, I am frank to admit that

do not intend to be a party direct

But the matter, according to law.
