The CAROLINIAN'S
WORDS OF WORSHIP
1. In the beginning was the Word, and the
V/ord was with God, and the Word was God.
2. The same was in the beginning with God.
3. Ail things were made by him; and without
him was not anything that was made.
4. In him was life; and life was the light of
men.
5. And the light shmeth in darkness; and
the darkness comprehended it not.
6. There was a man sent from God. whose
name was John.
7. The same came for a witness, to bear wit
ness of the Light, that all men through him
might believe.
8. He was not that Light, but was sent to
bear witness of that Light.
It Is Hush - - - Hush!
One of the most recent books to come off
the press is Abortion in the United States,
published by Harper-Hoeber. It is the record
of the 1955 international conference on abor
tion sponsored by the Planned Parenthood
Federation of America and the New York A
cademy of Medecine.
In the report an abortion specialist, Dr. G
Loti ell Timanus, tells how he built up a roster
of 353 physicians who would send patients to
him for abortions m his Baltimore practice II
was revealed that 1920 to 1951, Dr, Timanus
performed 5,210 illegal operations.
From our knowledge abortion is illegal in
practically each one of our 48 states. The only
exception that is permitted is that the abortion
is imperative to save the mother s life The
report pointed out that even in these cases, the
penalty was so severe that many hospitals and
gynecologists won’t have any tiling to do Witn
legitimate cases.
It is interesting to observe that, according
to the Kinsey report, one our of ten women
surveyed became pregnant and had an abor
tion. The Kinsey survey explained that most
of these women had the, abortions performed
by physicians.
Or. Timanus. now debarred from practice,
testified that hr used the best medical tech
niques available. In every case hr tried to get
the referring doctor to state in writing that the
woman’s health would be jeopardized by con
tinuation of the pregnancy
Fees for Dr. Timanus’ abortion operations
ranged from 5200 to s4oo—payable in advance
—and they were charged “to make the thing
more or less prohibitive.”
When brought to court, Dr. Timanus was
prosecuted and fined $5,000 Then nr war
forced into retirement after a six-month jail
sentence.
The Church - It And You
Let us take a look at the church and you
too You have been criticizing the church for
many of its so-called shortcomings You say
that it does not sufficiently meet the neeos o
the people in this Space Age. But what about
vou—the church member?
Since there is so much wrong with the
church, and you have made the charge why do
you attend?
First, we know you are going to say that
you feel better by having attended the Sunday
morning service. Now, is that all going to
church does for you? If so, then you might as
well stay at home because medicine will do the
same thing for you.
For some reason you church members think
going to church on Sunday is serving God. It
you think so, you have the wrong idea. Vou
fad to realize that there is no difference be
tween working on your job and working in the
church —work and religious work.
On this earth, there is much work to
done Our Fother’s Business ir far larger than
just doing church work, ir includes agricul
tural, commercial, educational, political, and
domestic pursuits.
God seeks to develop perfect human beings,
who, in spite of adversities, will learn to live
the abundant life with their fellowmen. To
achieve this end upon earth, the Almighty set
going an experiment to which all His resouces
are committed No single human talent and
effort can be spared if the experiment is to
succeed.
People must be fed and clothed, housed and
tarnsported, taught and healed, as well as
preached to. Thus all business, daily and pro
fessional pursuits are his Father’s business.
Second, you may say l go to church to
snake good business contacts. You think of the
church as you would of fraternal end social
organizations that you join for professional
reasons. Thus you go to church for what you
can personally get out of it. If this is all that
church means to you. we advise you to stay at
home.
You may be like the person who said, "Un
til the church can become as interesting to the
people as the dance hall and movies, it can
not hope to compete for people’s interest and
support.” This is another way of saying that
you feel that the church ought to broaden its
sphere of activity.
We Salute Dr. Williams
The poet, Shakespeare, said in, one of his
plays that "the good that men do is oft inter
red with their bones.” We do not want this
said of an educator who has given 28 years of
meritorious service to one of our State Teach
ers Colleges, Hence, we take this means of sa
luting Dr. Sidney D. Williams, president of
State Teachers College, who rendered unself
ish service to the institution.
This great teacher and administrator came
to State Teachers College at Elizabeth City,
9. That was the true Light, which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
10. He was in the world, and the world was
made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own re
ceived him not.
12. But as many as received him. to them
gave he power to become the sons of God.
even unto them that: believe on his name;
13 Which was bom, not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
14. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt
among us (and wc beheld his glory, the glory
as of the only begotten of the Father.) full of
grace and truth. (St, John 1:1-14.)
These facts may be shocking to most read
ers, but Dr. Timanus states that he knows a
physician who had done 40,000 abortions in
50 years.
The aim of the parenthood conference, was
to discover the number of abortions performed
cadi year in the United States While no one
knows exactly, it is reliably estimated that
they run from 200,000 to 1,200,00. This is in
deed a shocking number.
What the Planned Parenthood Federation
of America found out at its conference
shocking as it may be—is being repeated
thousands of times each month in this coun
try. We don’t know whether to place most of
the blame upon pregnant females and their
husbands (or boy friends) or upon the. medi
cal practitioners But whoever is to blame
need to search their consciences, or they need
to be punished to the fullest extent of the Jaw.
We are sure that the American Medical As
sociation is aware of this condition, and we
hope steps are being taken to curb this prac
tice among its member physicians. We even
suggest that the Association give more study
to this matter in the near future if for no other
reason than to vindicate its integrity and repu
tation.
In general the people in this cosntry have
high regard for the medical profession. It can
not afford to let the malpractice of a few doc
tors bring disrepute to the Association.
Wc may say that the physician—when he is
caught performing abortions-—should be slam
med behind jail bars. Well, what about the
patients who go to these phvsicians and lay
bare their distressing problems and are willing
to pay the high fees charged? If discovered,
both the patient and physician should be pun
ished severely. There should be no exceptions.
People, like you. have said that the church
lads to provide services for children and young
people. You say the church is doing little for
aged members who have retired from their
daily vocational pursuits, Your ideas are well
taken.
You are suggesting that our churches pro
vide old folks’ home, orphanages, recreation
centers, educational departments, employment
offices, group hospital insurance and the like
Well, we admit that these are indeed worth
while projects and the general church should
undertake them. But what about you?
In order for the church to expand its serv
ices to appeal to a wider variety of people it
must get your full financial support. This
means, of course, that nothing less than the
practice of tithing will do. It takes thousands
ol dollars to build educational departments,
recreation centers, convalescing homes, and
what-have- you.
The reason why your church doesn't have
all of these things you want it to have is that
you have been putting in the collection plate
the widow’s mite. The day for dropping ten
cents in the plate on Sunday is past Ten cents
will not pay the pastor much less expand and
keep in repair your church's physical facilities.
While much money will be neded to provide
many services in the church, there is a great
need for the services of members. Members
must give of their services freely, or else the
church will be forced to employ paid workers
to carry on its work.
The trouble with most church members is
that we have not been doing our duty. Wo
must dedicate ourselves to the church's pro
gram. There is an enormous amount of work
that needs to he clone. We must not develop
the habit of "lotting George do it.”
Last fall. THE CAROLINIAN in a series
of editorials, outlined a program of positive
action for church members. It included fin
ancial self-discipline on the part of church
members, tithing, participating in the Church
Bonus Money Program, and wise investment
of the church's financial resources. We would
he interested to know if there is any church in
North Carolina following this program.
Next time you are tempted to critize your
church and its minister, suppose you think a
bout what you are doing.
North Carolina, twenty-eight years ago and
cast his lot. At that time, he assumed the posi
tion of dean and held it for fifteen years. As
administrator, his cooperation and loyalty, his
eagerness and alertness, was made manifest.
Without doubt, his contribution as dean led
to his inauguration as president of the college
in 1945.
Realizing that it takes money to carry thp
gospel of education to the people of North
Carolina, Dr. Williams appealed to state of-

1. Up to this time and reaching

when and where this will stop,
it is hard to tell, for its ele

this substance all human and
animal life depends, it should
be cherished and carefully
guarded above all of life's ordi

VACATION TIME
Summer time is vacation time
for most people with moderate
incomes. Os course the rich take
vacations during any season of
the year. Rut, by and large,
people with moderate incomes
think In terms of taking their
vacations in the "good old sum
mer time.” Webster's Dictionary
defines vacation as "a period
spent away from home or busi
ness in travel or recreation.”
There are legions of ways in
which one may take a vacation.
But by all means, take a vaca
tion. A vacation ,in many cases
<s good for "what ails'one” phy
sically, mentally, or spiritually.
Medical doctors quite often ad
vise tber patients to take a trip
somewhere. A. trip sometimes
helps one to forget whatever it
is that one needs to forget. I can
think of but .?> w, indeed, if any
thing. that are as enjoyable and
at the same time, as education
al as travel a trip somewhere.
Happily we poor people may
take trips under our present ec
onomy. Most concerns engaged
in hauling the public have work
ed out plans whereby one may
travel and pay iater-the well
known and famous installment
plan. By and large one returns
from a trip physically, mentally
and spiritually envoragaed. Tra

be pointed out. that with refer

Virginia denies funds to Arling

So the case up in the Old Do

served, not only by those who

other deep South states, but
those who are in the market of
implementing such evasive reg

It would appear that if a few
more such orders are issued

out of the time which is of so
i great an essence in this climb
