iThe Hcv. M. Jack Suggs, pas
tor of the Wendell Christian
church. Wendell, was .speaker
for the annual Religious Empha-
^ Week on the campus of Al-
tantie Chri.stian college. March
U-I6
lit has been customary for
in my years to have on the cam-
pU: >ne week set aside for re
ligion and its many phases. The
antire week is given over to
jftvcussions and meetings on re-
Hgiiius topics.
Importance of Religion
(The purpose of this obser
vance is to emphasize the im
portance of religion in the life
m the individual and the world.
^The general theme was '• Ele
ments in Personal Religious
Living." George Taylor was
(Biairman of the program.
(A native of Texas, Mr. Suggs
Bioved to Wendell in October of
(9. He has served as pastor
of the First Christian church,
Cladwater, Texas,
i Texas Graduate
]iA graduate of the University
Texas. Mr. Suggs completed
training at Rrite College of
Bible.
'He was president for three
yt^irs of the East Texas Christ-
tan Endeavor union, state secre-
fciry of church activities of the
East Texas Christian Endeavor
inion, president of the North
■Eastern Texas C. Y. F. con
ference and for six years has
done conference work as teach
er of recreation and social life.
Served As Delegate
While at Brite College of the
Bible, he was a delegate to the
Jirst North American Intersem-
pi ry conference.
Ir 1948 he was the speaker at
Ministers’ Breakfast, Inter
national Convention of Disciples
of Christ.
He was al.so speaker of the
t te C. Y. F. convention in
exas. 1945, 1949.
The theme for the week was
Elements In Personal Religl-
u- Living.” The sermons were:
■ nday, “The Life I am now
iving;” Tuesday, “Burnished
rass or Pure Gold” and "A
lalf-Block Down the Street;”
ednesday, “What it means to
' a Christian” and “Jesus and
;e Full Life;” Thursday, “The
■'•rid is the same as Always”
nd “The Basis of Christ's
■^thority.”
Basle Elements
In the seven sermons present-
from Monday night through
hursday night, Mr. Suggs in-
estigated the basic elements in
e personal faith of a Christian.
!.<> initial talk, entitled “The
ife I am Now Living,” pointed
ut the necessity t)f self-appral-
•*1; the urgency of measuring
ife as it actually is against life
' it could be lived at its best.
The second discussion, “Bur-
i.'shed Brass or Pure Gold,”
arned against the mistake of
'implacency and of smug satls-
actlon with the exterior forms
f religion.
Mr. Suggs emphasized man’s
' ed for a vital Inner faith tran-
lated into his dally living: man
hould seek quality and charact-
r in his living, and not be con-
'■nt with mere appearances or
ere habits of devotion that do
'>t reflect a really Christian

lege, presented a program be
fore a large audience at 8 o'
clock March 21.
The recital was held in How
ard chapel.
Mr. Fontaine said that it was
the most successful recital he
had ever had.
The Numbe™

Handel's “O Sleep, Why dost
Thy Leave Me” and Bishop's

pattern of dally living.
Third .Sermon
The third sermon, “A Half-
Block Down the Street,” stress
ed the aimlessness of much of
modern life at its hurried worst,
and the desperate need for some
Great Purpose to give direction
to living. , j . 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,
