Harten, regional vice president and pastor of Trinity Baptist church, Brooklyn, as presiding officer introduced Dr Jemison who declared that con ditions in the pmsent day church were deplorable and that th ' only correctional measure fo- churchmen to pursue was a re affirmation of faith in God, the brotherhood of man, and an un- rAN TOPICS ■y CfMRUS AUO' ’Next Door” By ted shearer H CMitimntil FMturM LISTEN LORD FAUNTLEROY - IF YOU WANTA’ SPEAK TO MISS PATRICIA YOU GOTTA GO THROUGH ME.

The Baptist leader said that race hatred, morals and charac ter of ministers and church mem bers alike were evidences that there has^ been an abandonment of the teachings of Christ. Speaking from the subject “The iDeplorable Conditions of the Visible Church of Our Day: Cause and the Remedy,” J)r. Jemison said: “The life of a true Christian people today is not on the high level, neither can it be whe i the teachings of the word of God are disregarded. While formerly some went to the extent of stamping as sin what was no sin, many today have gone lo the extereme of allowing what God has forbidden. The demands made today by many churclies upon the Christians of today is not very greati Worldly righte. et^usness is in-many cases con sidered sufficient evidences of a noble Christian character. In short, modern church life ‘s full of inconsistencies alj mark ed »by spiritual differences. ” Causes of the objectionable church situation were to be found in the lethargy of minis ters to arouse their members to inspirational heights, and- to teach the philosophy of Christ, charged Dr. Jemison. He said that many ministers have denied the Bible as the “inspired un erring word of God and the only guide in the matters of faith and church practices.” “The remedy will not bo fond! in ignoring the facts,” stated Dr. Jemison, “Th* remedy proposed by God to hi^ church of the Old Testament when its conditions -fellewahips along—have trained" ^ 04 men and women who occupy, outstanding social work posis in public and voluntary organiza tions.
