A YEAR OF YEARS 1850


BY Dean Gordon b. Hancock Of virginia Union University
There are many evidences that 1850 will be year of
years! Critical decisions in the offng momentous
events being weighed in the balances of time Chap
tered events of history being decatey poised and the
moving finger that Omar writing having writ moves
The outbound train of times tarries not at the station
of interesting events but speeds into the Great Some
where and onto Great Something far removed from hu-
man ken
"The past is prologuel' From any angle 1949 was a
stirring year whose episodes posed eternal questions Of
eternal concern to mortas riding the outbound train of
Time Mankind today pranking with the deadest weap
handled by mankind and only the most careful
handling family insure the world against another
dreadful war that will scourge the sons of men. -.
When New York Cityis water supply runs low, New
Workers called to when stranded flyers are
cingng to their RATS tossed the bosom of the Deep
they invariably unite in prayer in every critical moment
of affairs human faces turned unto the holy
hills whence cometh help BY that token it is
time for mankind to earnestly seek in prayer the power
that sore needed to save off the destruction of human
from the face of the earth We facing critical
and may well face the ugly fact Pranking with
deadly weapons has ever been dangerous thing and
when these weapons atomic and the prankers
TONS we are on the eve OF dire events New meaning may
at any time be given to the beattude which "The
meek shall inherit the EARTH, for when the warlike
tons destroy themselves the Africans and Pacific Islanders
may inherit the earth that part of that will be spared
the earthly damnatOn of atomic warfare.
BY every token great America should be the
John, The Baptist nation among the nations crying in this
wilderness prepare the of the Lord and make his
paths straight But the voice of great country muff
ed by those who would make the word of God of eff
feet and before the world the which
the world may be saved and that the brotherhood of
man.
The hands of nation tied by the cold blooded
and highhanded proponents of white supremacy that
negates God the Bible and Jesus Christ Race prejudice
is milestone about the neck of great country and
threaten to sink upon the abect of materas and
moral perfdy The fact remains this nation has god be-
fore God and that god is white supremacy and all its
heish concomants of prejudice and hatred and ntoer
ance, and hypocrisy and blood guness and shame and
and deceituness and ku kuxism and depraved
of justice.
President Harry Truman today is the of destiny.
He is in truth the prophet of the age He is this nations
John The Baptist calling nation unto repentance be-
fore God and the world If the nation will hearken and
turn unto God it will unto God live but if stones Tru
Jerusalem did her prophets like Jerusalem will
perish and be brought low among the nations All of the
great nations that sumber today in the tombs of time
once mighty and proud
Babylon the capitol of the United States of
Mesopotama with walls 80 feet high thirty feet wide and
40 miles long; but imposing Babylon with its hanging
gardens wonders of the world passed away when moral
canker and spiritual gangrene set in Babylon at its

that is fast sapping the moral strength of nation In
modern times Great Britain, the gem of the
and with possession in the utermos parts CT the EARTH
being dismembered before eyes. Little Mohandas
Ghandi Just took precept from Jesus Christ and broke
the back of Brtans mighty empire Nations that sin like
the soul that snneh shall surely die It quite conceiv
able that the fate of civil rights legislation will determine
the fate of our nation and of the civilized world this year
