At John Graham 1
Five things are necessary j
for a successful life, the Rev. i 1
John Gill, in charge of public; t
relations at Chowan College,!t
told members of the John; 1
Graham graduating class here r
on Tuesday night.
Mr. Gill, a former pastor of j i
the Warrenton Baptist Church, iz
used a fable of a journey from|(
nowhere to somewhere to de-:g
velop his theme. In this'
theme the traveller was given (
four things, one at each stop't
on nis journey, and as a re- - {
suit was able to reach some-11
where. These four things wereji
a gleam in the eye. a,voice in:t
the ear. a song in the heart,, i
and a sword in the hand. j ^
The speaker translated these ;<
into vision, wisdom, courage'
and faith, and elaborated upon I1
each. To these, he concluded, s
must be added a fifth, a \vlU-|l
v ingness to work . ;:
Prior to his message to the '
students, Mr. Gill said that he'j

ed Cloyd Philpott held a sub!
stantial lead over C. V. Henj

I Lake in his TV statement
j of his intention to call for a
i second primary said that inj
tegration would be the main
plank in his platform.
While running in second
place in the state. Lake took
j a majority of the votes in
Warren County, polling 1845
