Howell Writes OF Grateful Memories
of Pearson Meetings Here In 1888

Whiskey with his conversation,
finally made a surrender of him
self publicly before the preacher
and audience. He became sue
cessful lay evangelist in the state.
1.-THE Pearson meetings con-
tinued for abou: three weeks, and
long after they had closed it was
felt that Wilmington had received
new spirit and was a better
town. During the meetings the
small group of young men who
had formed among themselves a
Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton were given much stimulation
and courage by an appeal in their
behalf made at one of the serv-
ices for money to aid them in
providing a building for their or
ganization. $4,000 was subscribed
at the service; and thus the young
Y.M.C.A. began a new start.

closed, and certain it is that Will
mington has never since fhen been
so genuinely stirred by religious
undertaking. Other great Sevange-
listic meetings were held in the
city soon afterwards, perhaps
largely from the impulse given by
the Pearson meetings, but the sue
cess in any one of them was not
quite so great. There were \ the

Super-Control Of Atom 4

One measure before congress pro-
vides for civilian control of the atomic
energy program, with sort of mill
tary auxiliary to be called in when and
if an atomic war is started. Another
measure reverses this order. It would
place atomic control in the hands of
the military with civilian or scientific
board for consultation and experimental
ton. There is also a proposal that
however the scales tip, Senate and
probably House committee will have
overall supervision similar to that
exercised by the Military and Naval
committees in both branches of con-
gress.
Advocates of the first claim that the
military, once in control, would con-
fine developments to more and better
bombs and that scientific research to
develop atomic energy for peacetime
pursuits Will be negligible or possibly
nil. Civilian control of the Army and
the Navy has worked satisfactori1v
they declare, and would do as we'll with
the atom.
On the other hand, enthusiastically
minded persons see little but war ahead
and hold that the only escape of annihi-
lation is to be we'll stocked with bombs,
ready Tor action on the drop of the hat.
Which of the two factions will win
out is anybody's guess. Of ono tbino
, we may be reasonably sure. AS the de.
; cision rests with congress, that bodv of
politicians will not be 6ah1e r. ,ndou

Blood Bank At Community

On it's own initiative and by its own
effort Community hospital has blood
hank. Because of their great services
to the hospital in life, it is called the
Bullock-Cameron blood bank.
A member of the white staff, a
Wilmington doctor who gives his SER
vices, as so many do, to Community,
said yesterday it is operating efficient
ly, under the hospitals capable tech
nician and superintendent and, 1T
will not be necessary never to stand
by and watch patient die for lack
of blood, as we have in the past"
The Negroes who made the blood
bank possible raised the money in their
own churches and societies. They re-
jected the offer of the white staff to
"chip in" It was to be their own un-
dertaking, for their own race.
Certainly they deserve the highest
commentator. It is one of the most
constructive humanitarian efforts put
forth by their more progressive lead
ership.

Sam P. Jones meetings of 1890
and 1891, held in a large wood
tabernacle on Sixth and Campbell
streets. The humorous evangelist
was heard by great crowds, but
they lacked the spiritual fervor of
the Pearson meetings. Then came
the noted evangelists D. L. Moody
in 1893 and r. A. Torrey in 1910.
These two latter preached also in
Sprunt compress warehouse, but
they also missed the verve of the
Pearson meetings. The j. Wilbur
Chapman meetings in 1916 were
held in large tabernacle con-
structed on Castle street. Next
came the Gypsy Smith, Jr., meet
ings on Princess street about 1922.
Grateful memories are held for all
these special meetings. The first
one, however, crowns them all
with peculiar distinction, which
seems rather strange in this far
off day. AS an Indication of this,
a runor spread one day that a
bright light hung over the COM
press warehouse. OF course, no
thoughtful person believed this;
but there was spiritual light that
glowed in the heart of many a
person in Wilmington.

CHAPLAIN FRANK M.
TOMPSON

A Russian psychologist found in
his investigation with hungry dogs
that the sight of food made their
mouths water. AS a result of his
study he wrote a pretentious vol
ume on the value of external
stimuli. A critic dubbed his work
the science of soldering.
The learned doctor could have
found a more fertile field, certain
ly a more interesting one, had he
experimental on the human fami-
ly. For here it has become, in
part, a science. The child early
realizes that it can blubber its way
to almost anything it wants. A few
tears, a few sobs and the little
rascal wins out. Some time ago
a boy came up to me crying, a
handful of cid papers clutched in
his hand. He wanted me to buy
one, saying he was a newsboy
that his papers for the day had
been stolen and that he had to
have so cents or he would get a
beating when be returned home.
A checkup proved that his story
was not true. It was simply a
racket.
That is he method used by all
charity racketeers. They try to

A Softened Churchill

Mr.. Churchill's valedictory address
! in New York was lacking in the deep
emotional vibrations that characterized
his Fulton address only ten days be-
fore.
He announced his great satisfaction
that Russia will be represented at the
forthcoming meeting of the United Ma
tons Security Council on March Is,
when the Iranian and Turkish situa-
tons will be brought up, and by i'm
plication, if not his actual declaration,
disposed of with mutual back-slapping.
He does not believe war inevitable
or imminent. He had never asked for
an Anglo-American military alliance
but only "fraternal association" His
only source of anxiety is whether COM
plete harmony will be reached in a
Sufficiently clear and plain manner"
to prevent a new world struggle or,
as in the past, only in the course of
that struggle"
While he specifically said that he
does not believe "the rulers of Russia"
want war at the present time, and in
all his address was, for him, exceed
ingly moderate, while the well-round-
ed periods that have given him prom
inence for many years as a forensic
expert, he left the impression, at least
with some of his hearers, that his in
nate fear, dread, hate or whatever it is
he holds for Russia-as distinct from
the Russian people, for whom he voiced
fine regards not one whit the small
er than in the days before Britain and
America became the Soviet Unions
war allies with the German crossing of
the Russian frontier.
He seemed most anxious to dispel
the war clouds his Fulton address
raised, but was not quite sure whether
he could do the job without backing
down completely, and so left the i'm
preston that whereas he has taken
the chip off his shoulder he is still
doubling up his fists.
We would not do Mr.. Churchill an
injustice Intentionally, but we are at
loss to account for the fact that upon
two important occasions he, foreign
er, has used American rostrums as a
sounding board for his opinions. We
cannot imagine an American politician,
whatever his position or former office,
attempting like acts in another coun-
try.

A Free India

The day for which India has long
looked forward is at last at hand. Prime
Minister Clement Attlee Of Great Bri-
tain announces in Commons that midas
future is a matter for it's own decision.
"India herself" he declares, must
choose as to what will be her future
constitution and what will be her posi-
ton in the world"
Mr.. Attlee's only stipulation, which
}s entirely reasonable, is that eve can
not allow minorities to veto advances
hv the majority" He naturally hopes
The people will decide to remain in the
British Commonwealth of Nations, but
because of Britain's repressive mea-
sures for a>century and more, there is
small chance they will so decide. What
tAsy have wanted, fought and died for
N larger numbers than suspected by the
uninitiated, is complete freedom.
The point that will cause Britain and
other major nations deep anxiety is
whether, because Of the diverse fact
ions, religions and yes, fanaticism, in
the vast population, the people can
e.srk out their own national salvation
or will release from British overload,
ship and the sudden acquisition Of pow
or create new and wider and worse
situations than have had to be facee
while London laid down the law fol
them?
Were the people of India homo
genius, or if they could readily b.
brought into accord, it is conceivable
that the new nation might find 1t
Nsy to great development through In
dependence. Even if education wer
general, the outlook for internal peac
and cooperation would be improved.
Is not apparent, however, that India
