O. L. Bennett was in charge of the program. The welcome ’was given by chairman of the deacon board. Mi. William Cuningham. The speaker was introduced by the Rev, J. L. White, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Tthe speak er was the Rev. John W. Fleming, a field worker from the Baptist States Headquarters in Raleigh. Mr. Fleming used as a subject, “Vote Today for a Better Tomor row.” Mr. Fleming: "This occasion and the purpose for it can. be summed un in one word - FREEDOM. We know that the ideals of freedom touch all areas pertaining to civil snd human liberties. Our scope, however, will be limited fbr an obvious reason.” Re said time would not permit him to speak or •ill the facets of freedom. His talk centered around political liberties. He said, fourscore and fourteen years ago, Abe Lincoln fell before an assassin’s gun. A bullet ended bis life, but it could not. and did not, destroy Uie truth for which he stood. Many years before the titanic struggle between the states, Lincoln stood in a busy market place in New Orleans where slaves, like beasts of burden, were auc tioned at sale, and said "if l ever get a chance to hit that thing, I shall hit it and hit it hard.” He saw clearly the vita! truth that all men, as children of God. are en titled to the rights of liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that no nation can exist ‘‘half free and half slave.” Mr. Fleming said, throughout the world men are taking up the battle cry and joining in the march for freedom. We have not possessed it, but we are in pursuit of it. Tt is our privilege to join in the march. We must, if we wish to honor the Great Emancipator. For only as wo give ourselves, body and soul, to the struggle for liberty, do we honor him who paid the supreme sacrifice for it.
