SECTION TWO f|T The Roundup IM^ By WILBORNE HARRELL fl r \ |v|| JH .-, s?* >v Bf M S • « ■ ■■' ;,T The first buttercup or the first violet I see growing will be an occasion cf great rejoicing for me; for these little flowers will be a sure sign that Spring is not far in the offing. One hum ble buttercup or one timid little violet will then hold a greater place in my heart than the most; regal and beautiful rose. George Sokolsky in his col-j umn, asks, “Why do we not) have great men, anymore?” j 'Running the risk of being pre-l sumptuous, 1 shall add a foot-* note to that question: There, are great men today- But we are living too close to them forj their greatness to become evi dent. It takes time and the, verdict of history to give a j man the statue of greatness. [Weekly Devotional \ Column j: Rv JAMES MacARMtIR I The February issue of Moody Monthly Magazine features opin ions of six prominent religious leaders as to The State of the Church. According to Dr. A. W. Tozer, author and preacher (Christian and Missionary Alliance), “We. have lost the solemn religious j fear that once characterized re-' tigious services; we have lost' our consciousness cf things un seen and eternal; we have lost I our consciousness of the divine, presence: we have lost our whole lofty concept of majesty, and with it our reverence, our spirit of worship, and our ability to adore. We have lost our separation and have become wcrld-oriented. We are simply I not producing saints. The whole' emphasis in evangelical Chris tianity lies elsewhere.

Ik WILLIAM P. JONES TAX SUPERVISOR THE CHO WAN HERALD To get the full measure of a man’s greatness there must be a perspective of tolerance and real understanding, that will reveal to us the real man.

WEATHER REPORT The first day of Mai eh dawned bright and sunny—but VERY cold. And since March is sup posed to come in either as a lien or a lamb, I had consider able difficulty deciding whether the first day was a “lion" day or a lamb "day”. I finally con cluded that it was a case of the lamb lying down with the (Urge numbers attending ser , vices, etc.), we have suffered ; dangerous internal losses.

Until these things are restored to the Church, there is grave danger that the words of Christ will apply to us: Thou hast a name I that thou livest. and are dead’ I (The Revelation 3:1).” t | Dr. David Olis Fuller, pastor: icf Wealthy Street Baptist Church, Grand Rapids, Michigan, i feels that we are sadly in need of revival, which will come through renewed dedication to Christ, interest in the Word of God. and prayer. He says, “If all the born-again Christians in America would spend as many minutes reading God’s Word and on their knees in prayer, as ; they do hours before the tele vision set, revival would come overnight” | J Q. Percy, General Secre i tary of the Inter-denominational ' Foreign Missions Associations, New York City, voices the opin ion that we are placing too much emphasis on salvation as such, and not enough on dis-, cip’eship. He writes, "It would appear that the Church has lost its sense of divine mission and passion. It has lost its sense of spiritual adventure. that j sense of 'attempting great things ! for God'. With departure from holy living and purity of doe- I trine there has also been a de- lion , . .

SENATOR A A SAM ERVIN at A *« SAYS »/ Washington The United States Senate debate has been successful in documenting that Southern oDDosition is based on harsh proposals that go far be yond a simple voting rights bill; At the outset, the people were told that the bills dealt mainly with voting rights. It has been our duty to point ou-t the con tents of these so-called civil rights proposals. That we have done and are continuing to do inasmuch as there are around ITS of these bills before Con gress. weighing about five pounds. Why We Are Fighting. We are fighting to preserve our Constitutional and legal sys tems against the erosive action of some impatient groups. This is the basis for my argument against these harsh bills. Laws On The Boons. In my Senate s leech on February 16. I pointed out that there are existing remedies under Federal law for voting rights cases.

Any person allegedly aggriever can either recover damages or can obtain what we call preventive relief. One of these statutes is Title 42. Section 38, of the United States Code. The other is em bodied in Title 42. Section 1988 of the United States Code. This last statute says, in effect, that if the procedures for the vindi cation of civil rights establish ed by the laws of the United States are not sufficient then the party can have the benefit, even in the Federal court, of any State remedies which are available for that purpose. These two statutes give any private individual who is al- &S& legedly deprived of any civil j rights, including the right to I vote, a right to bring a civil j action either to prevent thej wrong from being committed to! him or to obtain damages for its I commission. National Sanity Impzried. So: we already have upon the stat-j ute books of this nation onei criminal statute and two civil j statutes which are sufficient to vindicate the civil rights and the voting lights of any American of any race, provided he does not wish to be made a special favorite of the laws and be excused from having his rights j adjudged by the same laws by l which all other men’s rights are! adjudged. It is unfortunate that! this fact has received so little j attention in the zeal of civil, rights advocates to force through the Congress bills which some-! times make me ponder the ques tion whether or not our country > is losing its sanitay on these 1 matters.
