Luther Rice's Body 10 Resi-
In Baptist Shrine Here

The body of Luther Rice, noted
missionary and founder of Colum-
bian College, now George Washing
ton University. will be removed from
cemetery near Columbia, S. c., to
a national Baptist shrine here, ac-
cording to plans now under way.
The Rev. Luther J. Holcomb,
pastor of the Luther Rice Memorial
Baptist Church, 1913 North Capitol
street, and George B. Fraser, former
president of the District of Columbia
Baptist Convention, are making ar
rangements for the shrine. Mr.. Hol-
comb said today they would confer
with DR.. Cbyd Heck Marvin, presi-
dent of George Washington Univer-
sity, next week and a bill later will
be drawn up for presentation to
Congress providing for the shrine.
Tentative plans call for the erec-
ton of a shrine from funds donated
by Northern and Southern Baptists,
on the site of the Luther Rice Me-
mortal Church.
Mr.. Rice went to India in 1872 as
Congregationalist missionary, but
while en- route he was converted to
the Baptist faith. Later he returned
to America to become one of the first
Baptist home missionaries. He died
in 1886, seven years after founding
Columbian College.

| The Roman Catholic Archbishop
of Eyer issued statement empha-
Sizing that the Catholic writer did
not represent Hungarian Catholi-
cism. In previous announcement
the archbishop forbade Catholic
priests to support any form Of to-
talitarianism.
This type Of opposition has laid
the groundwork for resistance
among all church groups in Hun
gary. There is q good possibility
that If the churches decide on an
Open fight against the Nazis they
will consolidate their forces to an
extent not achieved in any other
Nazi- dominated country when it
was first occupied.
Initiated by leaders of the Re-
formed Lutheran churches, a Hun
garian ecumenical council has been
formed in Budapest Ito promote
ecumenical thought and to establish
closer relations with other Christian
Ichurches through the World Coun-
Gil of Churches"
Similar efforts have been develop
ing to promote cooperation between
the Roman Catholic and Protestant
lchurches. The movement has the
of11cial support Of Cardinal Seredi

resistance by the dominant Roman
Catholic church and the various
Protestant groups. =
Opposition to the Nazis has been
voiced increasingly by Hungarian
church leaders under the guise of a
general attack against "totalitarian-
ISM" The growing boldness of this
attack is indicated by recent
speech before the upper house of
the Hungarian Parliament by
Bishop Bella Kapi of the Evangelical
Lutheran church, who limited that
III totalitarian control of Hungary
was fully carried out, the church
would rise up.
He warned the Hungarian legisla-

"It SENS to many students of his

in 1920 when the Christian ideal
ism of Woodrow Wilson was not
shared by a Congress who lacked
the vision and the idealism of the
President" DR.. Marshall asserted.
"Our fighting men are coming
back, many of them wounded, and
they are going to be brutally frank
and honest in asking If what they
have gone through is worthwhile, T"

vail untaken away in the reading

I am often asked as Baptist
preacher, why do you speak so
plain and rebuke false doctrine?
If I could persuade all mankind
to close the Old Testament for
one year and read nothing but
the New Testament, this shadow
ing veil would be lifted from their
eyes.
For these scriptures plainly tell
us that the old law is fulfilled and
we should have plainness of speech
and faith in Christ for which the
law is fulfilled.
Since Easter is approaching and
we hope to attend a sunrise serv-
ice, il we are still to preach Moses
and the Ten Commandments and
catechism, why have q sunrise
service?
If we believe In Christ and His
shed blood as the only remission
Of sin, then we should teach the
new birth and teach people to
pray to God in the name of the
Lord Jesus Christ for the forgive
ness of sin.
