Professionalism Must
Fight, Baptist Says

professionalism can make not
only news, but history, if it will
really free the colored people, re-
fuse to accept tax money Estate or
|nationaD for their own parochia]
schools, and develop an effective
boycott system against all fascist
minded newspapers, all dry and
vulgar movies, and profit-motivat-
ed radio stations" says DR.. Stan
ley I. Stuber, a secretary of the
Northern Baptist Convention.
TT must fight for freedom OF
the secular press as we'll as higher
standards for our movies and a
radio which is free of absolute con-
troll by peddlers of pills, soap and
liquor. Proestantism is fighting a
losing battle, morally and spiritual
ly, if it's young people and its
adults are fed by the tens of mil
lions, day after day, or night after
night, a standard of morality
which makes sin attractive and
virtue dull. Our church schools
simply cannot cope with such a
situation

When the Cape Fear Baptist
association received a newly con-
stitute church in fellowship from
Wilmington by letter and dele
gates" on October l, 1903, the
church reported 20 members and
contributed to the work of the as
ISOLATION 10 shillings, English
money.
But, during the years the mem
bership has grown to 1887 and
donations totalled $50, 278.20, &C
cording to figures on the church
year ending Sept. 80, 1916.
With present contributions aver
aging approximately $40 per mem
Der annually, a quotation from the
First Baptist church yearbook of
1873 proves interesting:
mo member is to contribute
less than 10 cents per week, but
this is not to be SO construed to
mean that O might not be
given according to ability"
The church was reorganized in
1888, and was at that time called
the Front Street church.
From church r e cords it is
learned that the use of the church
building was granted Brother A.
j. Battle "for the purpose of
preaching to the colored people Or
Sabbath afternoons and with a
view of collecting an African con-
gregation."
A building committee vas ap-
pointed in 1858, and the model
finally decided upon was Eacly
English Gothic with two towers, a
high tower and a lower one.
The building on Market street
was started in a great way, but
with the coming of the Civil war,
completion was delayed until 1870.
During the yellow fever cpl
demic of 1862, the church lost its
pastor, DR.. J. L. Pritchard.
AS a means of securing money,
the pews we're rented for the sum
of $40, SIS.
Following the dedication of the
edifice on May /, 1870, the mem
bership for the next year was re-
corded as 21O with only IS of these
men.
The Sunday school annex was
built in 1920.

Religious Work Need
Among Youth Stressed

Stressing the urgent need for
religious work among the young
people of Europe in these post
war days, DR.. j. Hutchinson Cock
burn, Of Edinburgh, Scotland,
director of reconstruction and
church aid in the new World Coun-
cilof Churches tod Council leaders
recently at Buck Hill Falls, Pa,
that the Communists have been
more "eager" in their activities
among youth than the Christian
church has been.
eff we were as eager" he said,
perhaps we would have the an
sWer to the Communist theology.
Communism can't be argued down;
it must be lived down. . If
Christ is to be enthroned over the
lives of men in Europe, it will be
only by the reviving of the church
by the grace of God and the work
of the Holy Spirit. OF this re-
vival the churches are the appoint
ed instruments. 1t is Christian
civilization that is at stake, not
merely in Europe but also in Bri-
tain and the United States"
