To the Editor:
I have always sought to
avoid joining an issue with
one whom might be categori
cally termed an “extremist”.
munity.
Pope said every retail food
merchant in Bertie and Cho
wan counties is being urged
to attend one of the meet
ings and apply for authori
zation to accept food coupons.
He ported out that too of
ten many grocers wait until
after the program gets under
way to ask for authorization,
and as a result they lose
several food sales and some
times permanent customers.
Authorization of food mer
chants both retail and
wholesale—is handled by the
Consumer and Marketing
Service. Retail grocers must
be authorized before they
can accept coupons from par
ticipating families. Without
an authorization, a grocer
cannot redeem the coupons

Board of Public Welfare.
The State Welfare Board is
responsible for interviewing
and certifying eligible fami
lies for participation in the
food stamp program, and for
issuing food coupons.
The Bertie and Chowan
county departments of pub
lic welfare are now taking
applications from families
wishing to take part in the
Drogram.
An extremist, whether of thf
right or the left, or whether
he is political, religious, or
religio-political, is identifi
able by certain characteris
tics. 'Oie extremist views al
most everyone, who has a
differing voice or opinion, as
a threat to his way of life,
and his reaction is usually
fantastic, fanatical, unrealis
tic, compulsive and obsession
al. Among many reactions,
an extremist always poses a
final authority with a pre
tense of “research”. He has
uncovered the “facts” and is
giver of these to the unin
formed.
In the October 7th issue
of The Chowan Herald in
Letters To Editor, my name
was drawn into an issue rel
ative to Baptist work on the
Island of Antigua, B. W. 1.,
with particular reference to
an article which appeared in
the August sth issue, which
article was written by my
wife. In the article in ques
tion, no specific reference
was made to “Independent
RaDtists”; in fact, the words
“independent” and “Baptist”
were never joined. However,
I suspect that it is possible
for anyone to read anything
into printed material, de
pending upon the state of
mind and desire of heart.
As for Southern Baptist
work on the Island of An
tigua, Paul and Mary Sides,
with their daughter Donna,
left North Carolina for a
tour of duty with the U. S
Navy. They immediately be
gan to witness in the little
church on the island, until
the church began to disinte
grate because of the experi
ence with the missionary as
related in Mrs. Allred’s ar
ticle. Paul and Mary then
began a teaching mission in
the backyard of their home
and were ministering to 7C
to 75. One of our Southern
Baptist missionaries, writing
to the Sides, said “In a real
sense Southern Baptists al
ready have work in St.
John’s, Antigua. You are
missionaries in that area.
You are trained and quali
fied for the work that thr
Lord has given you to do
Actually all we need to serve
the Lord is to know that He
is our Saviour and to love
and witness to those about
us who know Him not.” It is
this kind of Southern Baotist
work to which Mrs. Allred
referred in her article.
After the C. D. Morse
'amiiy came to the area, they
contacted Paul and Mary
Sides, and the group meet
ing in the rear of Paul’s
home is the group which fur
lished the basis for the work
•vhieh Rev. Morse is carrying j
>n. Shortly after the Morses
arrived, I received the fol
lowing in a letter which he
wrote to me, letter dated
February 25, 1965: “I was
oastoring a Southern Baptist
Church in Houston, Texas
when God touched my heart
concerning these islands.
Having had a back operation
and did not go to the semin
iry, I was unable to go
through the board (Southern
Baptist Foreign Mission), but
God dealt with me so. that
by faith I stepped out and
other Southern Baptist
Churches helped me and my
family.”
One of our Southern Bap
tist missionaries, serving in
the French West Indies, visit
ed Mr. and Mrs. Sides, and
while there also talked with
Rev. Morse. Os Rev. Morse,
the missionary writes, “Ac
cording to my information, he
did a good work in the Brit
ish Islands but since the pop
ulation was so small and the
opportunities limited, he felt
compelled to move. It was
interesting for me to note
that all of the material he
used was Southern Baptist.
It is my opinion that though
he. has raised his own sup
port he is still basically
Southern Baptist.”
Quoting from still another
missionary serving in that
particular area of our world,
“We should at- all times re- .
veal a Christian attitude to- ■
ward our brothers in Christ.
Sometimes that is difficult,
but that fact does not re
lieve us from the responsi
bility of being a Christian in
word and deed at all times.” (
I have nothing other than |
the deepest admiration and
respect for all men who are
called of God, who, pursue
the calling, not as a self
styled “defender of the
faith,” but who, in all hon-l
esty and humility, seek to I
promote the work of the
kingdom of God in love and
understanding.
Sincerely,
Thurman W. Allred. I
