SHAW’S PLIGHT. BAPTISTS’
SHAME
ROCKY MOUNT The CARO
LINIAN has used a red headline
this past week in a valiant effort
to try to arouse (if poMlble) the
interest of the 30-thousand-plus
Baptists in Tarheelia to the danger
of Shaw University's probability
of having to close due to the severe
shortage of funds to meet, not alone
operational expenses, but delin
quent accounts of some $250,000
and the need for rebuilding practi
cally the entire delapidated cam
pus.
This is Indeed a “crying shame”
when so many hundreds yea
thousands—of Baptist preachers
(big and little alike) and laymen
romp around the state and nation
In their expensive Cadillacs, Lin
colns, Buicks and what-have-you
cars trying, as some of them say, to
“build prestige and impress peo
ple" of their, importance, when
their churches and Shaw University
are literally “starving-to-death.”
If these so-calld religious leaders
were half as honest about the ad
vancement of the Negro people—
religiously and clvicly ax well as
economically, as they pretend
they would give up the vhde of
their salaries for the month of
Kemunry or March and, then In

sources. Certainly, we are too
unthankful for what our pioneers
sacrificed for us one hundred
fears ago. We have taken, more
and more, to seeking pleasures,
even lasciviousness rather than
the basic needs of good moral
training and living.
As we seek complete Integra

more and more of our own eco

“Amos ti Andy” life. We can’t
clown our way through this life
nor to heaven, either. We've got
to work and help pay our own

waiting for the white people to do
it for us.
What we've said about the Bap
