totter and fall unless it is built
upon jpstice and equality for the
humblest creatures in all parts of
the globe.
The holy bible written by in
spired men thousands of years ago
was the voice of Jehovah crying
from the mountains to His crea-
lures in the universe. The strongs
oppression of the weak has gone
up to high heaven from all parts
of the world, just as the cry of
the Israelites went up to God
from the land of Egypt centuries
ago We have the oppressed, the
neglected, the Disseminated and
abused and the denied of justice
and equal rights in our own land
by those who claim the christian
way is their way. Did Christ die
for just a few? No, He died for
all, and the church is His recruit
ing office on earth 10 enlist men
as soldiers of the cross. He died
to prove to world that those
who subjugate and abuse, deny
others of their rights before the
courts are not worthy of Him, and
VIII have melted out to them as
they mete to others.
The supreme task of the church
Is TO prove to men they are bro
theirs and all have rights that each
must respect. The church must
teach the spirit Of the Good Sa-
marian in the world. It must
teach thou shalt not kill, thou
shalt not envy, nor bear false wit
ness, nor covet thy neighbors
property. his wife neither his
mald-servant nor anything of thy
neighbors. II must teach there is
no color to honesty, virtue and re-
spect. 1t must teach Love thy
heishoor as thy self and to have
no other Gods before the only
Just God of all men.

THE SUPREME TASK
OF THE CHURCH
A. F. CUNNINGHAM. Atkins


That the church is in the world
but not of the world and Dis a di-
vine institution is an established
fact. There is an inward feeling
among all men that are rational
which causes them to recognize
the church as a sacred institution.
Its author was in the beginning
and was the word, and the word
was to dwell among men to save
them from themselves of the
wrath TO cose-Go Ye into all the
world, and teach men was the
command to the apostles.
The author dwelt upon the
earth demonstrating the life man
is to live to get the blessings laid
up for him by obedience to His
commands. We are in a world
made beautiful and good and pro-
vision made for all mankind to
live in happiness.
The present age finds a world
torn by strife, envy and hatred
and lust for power among men to
subjugate their fellowmen. 1t is
tragedical that men after ages of
knowing the divine will of His
maker through the preached word
that we still have world of con-
fusion.
The supreme task of the church
is to reform men spiritually and
to help them see themselves as
brothers from one common faith
er. Out OF one blood God created
all men, and all sprang from Mo-
Their Eve and Adam. Just as the
Israelites were told by Moses to
look upon the bazen serpents and
live from their disease, The Mn
siters of the gospel are crying to
a disturbed world to look upon
Christ and the life He lived and
demonstrated here upon earth,
and be healed from the envy and
strife that now exists.
The National Baptist corven-
ton Inc. of Negro baptists IN At
lanta recently went on record
when they with $50 cars motored
to Monroe where four Negroes
had been lynched and held a
memorial service on the spot OF
the lynching. The AME Zion
church in its meeting recently
100000 signed petition to the pre-
sident protesting against mob-law
in this country which claims
Christ and attempts to settle af-
fairs among other people over the
world. We say unhesitatingly that
White and Black Christians must
stand as one in the church for law
and order ignoring traditions of
color If America survives.
The wisdom Of man is foolish
ness with God All of mans in
stitutions have failed when he
leaves God out Of his program.
The Golden rule is the safe and
sane highway and all else leads
to ruin. The ministers at the
peace conference are trying to
build a peace structure, but the
scriptures tell us, Unless Christ
builds, the building all is in vain"
We believe in complete separation
of church and state, but what the
should be the guide and chart of
all states II we are to have peace

joyed the picnic, but climbing
the rail fence and playing in the
new spring grass.
There were many other local
people and others not so nearby
including cars from Statesvllle,
Salisbury, Georgia and Virginia.
The forest ranger was on the job
and readily admitted that he was
happy water mellon time had not
started. He recalled what a task
it was to haul off, the thousands
of pounds of water melon rines.
