NEW DENOMINATIONS
SEEN WINNING MANY
FROM BIG CHURCHES
BY O. f? TAYLOR
KNOXVILLE. Tenn. i ANF>
On a recent trip to Raleigh, N. Ch
it was interesting to note, that
a large majority of churches along
the route, especially in the more
mountainous areas of Tennessee
and North Carolina, were desig
nated Church of Christ..
Some bore letters, not entirely
erased, showing that words like
Baptist. Presbyterian, or Methods t
were there at one time Ti c
thought - why the change? —■ im
mediately came to my mind.
Can it be that some of our Meth
odist. Baptist and Presbyterian
Churches have lost ground by n
vesting money into fine new build
ings? Is it onlv in recent, years that
the- Church of Christ has begun
to reach so many whites and Ne
groes.
The presence of so many store
front churches in tow- and cities
today as well us in rural areas
should cause the larger denomina
tions some concern.
One factor seems to stand out
however, in these changes. A worn
an in gingham or a man its over
alls no matter how clean and neat
will not attach themseves to one
of our “big shot” churches. The-e
ordinary people are not .going to at
tend services where jewels ire
flashed or silks and satins are rust

Dublin Ga.. to assist she state in
the prosecution of M A. Johnson,
charged with firing iho fatal shot,
and his brother, Johnnie Johnson,
charged with being an accessory to
the murder. Mrs. Nixon also auth
orized the NAACP to raise funds
for the prosecution and . the
maintenance of herself and her
children.
The N'AACP has also been re
