Reu. j. w. Gore, Veteran
Minister Feted At Chipley

On June 9th at Chipley, Georg-
ia, the memberships of the four
churches which the Reverend ].
w. Gore of Gabbetville, Georgia,
is pastoring, met to celebrate his
S9th birthday and the anniver-
saries of the churches. Reverend
Gore has been pastoring success
fully Bethany Baptist Church f.)r
Sc years.
Jehovah Baptist Church,
Whitesville, Georgia, the church
ordained Reverend Gore as a
minister and the first church
which Reverend Gore pastored
and is now entering his 62 years
as pastor, sent large delegation.
Bethlehem Baptist church, which
Reverend Gore has been pastor
ing for more than forty years,
was also represented with num-
bers of people and tokens of re-
spect. Thankful Baptist, the
smallest of the four, welcomed
Reverend Gore at his home on the
day of the celebration. Despite
the fact that he has been pastor
ing at Thankful for a shorter
period Of time than he has at the
other churches, it played as great
part in the program as the
others.
Mrs. Creasie M. Askew, of
Thankful Baptist developed the
subject Reverend Gore, An In
spiration to the Community and
Pastor for Fifteen Years" Mr..
Lucius Clark of Chiplev, Georgia,
spoke on the life of the pastor

Gore, the Man Who Walks
Alone" Mrs. Lizzie Copeland
rendered one of the hiph lights
of the program when she brought
to the front of the church birth
day cake on which candles were
burning. Stopping before altar
with the candles slowly burning,
Mrs. Copeland spoke on the life
of Reverend Gore as pastor at
Bethlehem. At the end of her ad-
dress she presented the cake to
him on which there was candle
to represent each year that Rev
erend Gore has served as pastor
of Bethlehem Baptist Church.
In the afternoon the anniver-
sary sermon was very well deliver
ed by an able minister. The four
churches pooled their coins and
presented the total to Reverend

NEW YORK.-They say that
young Edwin Macarthur is Vlg-
orous conductor. That's prob
ably equivalent to saying hes
full of fury and sound, and In
the last analysis we'd be inclined
to agree with them. They' /,
of course, are the music critics
of New York. We have heard
MIR. Macarthur conduct a series
of radio concerts. The Summer
orchestra of that brOadcaStlng
system must have been stripped
thin, because it sounded piping
and reedy, its strings shallow
and shrill, its brass brash and
glittering, its woodwinds unac-
countably harsh. Would you
imagine that to be the fault of
the orchestra? We don't think
that's quite true.
AS an instance of what hap
pened, we give you the noisy
1872 Overture" of Tschaikov-
sky.\ Mr.. Macarthur gave 1t the
works. He's inclined to meddle
with tempt. He gives you
reading with a capital r. His
dynamic scale is even more ex-
tensive than the admirable
Schneevoigt's, whose pianis-
sini were so soft you couldn't
hear 'em. We think Mr..
Macarthur might have been a
fine accompanist for Nine.
Kristen Flagstad, but he's got
a long way to go before he can
stand up before a symphonic
orchestra and make it roll over
and play dead. AS a matter of
fact what Mr.. Macarthur did to
one of the immortal Johann
Strauss waltzes very likely
caused that fiddlin' Of waltz
king to do a little turning over
in his frequently-violated musi-
cal sarcophagus.
This isn't to say that Mr..
Macarthur isn't, in a sense,
timid. The music appears to
scare the very gizzard out of
him, and as a result he does
what any brave man would do.
