V, Mr. Suggs continued, in sub- ; sequent talks, to define "What It Means to Be n Christian" and to point out the perfect bal ance of Christ's character. In what was perhaps the most challenging and most profound ' of the series of sermons, Mr. ■ Suggs proposed that “The World is the Same as Always.” In a sense the H-Bomb has given u« an unprecedented problem. Bui in another sense, it is the same problem that man has always had; how to cope with the evil in man himself. . There U, Mr. Suggs said, something each man can do about the problem: he can face It as it appears in himself; he can fight hatreds and prejudices and all the forms of evil t o which every man U ternpted. i And who can say, he concluded, that one man's victory over evil may not have endless in fluence for good upon our world, concludinc Talk In a brief concluding talk, pre- I ceding the communion service Ion Thursday night, Mr. Suggs President To Speak At ACC Dr. Lind ley To Arrive In Wilson Tomorrow Morninjr Students of Atlantic Christian college will gel their first chance to see and hear their new vullege president next Thursiday morning It was revealed today by Dr. Cecil A.
