Illness Doubles Responsibility For Representative Shuford (The following editorial appear ed June 24 in the Raleigh Times.) The United Press reports from Washington that Rep. George A. Shuford from North Carolina's 12th District is "doing fine" in the Bethesda Naval Hospital where he is recovering from a stroke. He suffered the stroke May 25, only seven days before the i Democratic primary in which he was renominated. It is natural to hope that Rep-, resentative Shuford's recovery , will be complete and that it will come quickly. It also is very im portant that his recovery be com plete, for at the time he was re nominated in me primary, the voters did not know that he had a stroke. Perhaps he would have been re nominated even if the voters had known that he was suffering from a stroke. Perhaps the voters of his district would have deliberate ly returned to Congress a man who was at that very moment ill enough with a stroke to be a pa tient in a hospital. On the other hand, it is just possible that the voters would not have renominat ed a man with such an illness. It was only natural that Repre sentative Shuford's supporters kept secret the serious nature of his illness. They must have known how many voters would have viewed the news that the candi date had suffered a stroke. News stories printed on the morning of the primary stated that Shuford had had a minor eye operation and an operation to re move a minor growth on his neck. In keeping this news secret, Representative Shuford's support ers did not keep faith with his constituents. Serious illness of a public official affects not only that public offirial but the peoplethe I sents. Twice in recent times, the! White House has tried to cover up at first ? the serious nature of ill ness of President Eisenhower. Any man in public office has a a terrific responsibility to the peo ple who elected him. In the case of Representative Shuford, the re sponsibility is doubled because his people were not told that he was seriously ill. If Repesentative Shuford recov ers completely and is able to rep resent his people fully and com pletely, all well and good. If, however, Representative Shuford doesn't recover completely from that stroke, the people of his dis trict will suffer from lack of re presentation during the next two years. Complete honesty is the best policy- Even in political camp paigns ? The Raleigh Times. Three Ball Clubs Tied For First Place In Murphy .

This thing that should be the burning passion of every Christian and the heart-throb of every church that names the name of Christ What is it? The Greek meaning of the word is one who brings good news- The passive idea is that glad tidings are brought to one. It means to proclaim glad tidings, to instruct men concernng the things per taining to Christian salvation. This idea is found in Luke 9: 6: "And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where." The Hebrew meaning of the word is to bring good news, an nounce glad tidings. It is used in the Old Testament of any kind of good news, of joyful tidings of God's kindness. It means reward for good things. To sum it up in a few words, then evangelism means winning to Christ by a proclamation of the evangel, carrying the good news of Christ. This is what is meant by New Testament evange lism. 1 The agencies of evangelism are the Sunday School, the home, Christian education and personal soul winning. i New Testament evagelism puts the cross of Christ always at the center. "And as Moses lifted up ? the serpent in the wilderness, ever, so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3: 14-15 New Testament evangelism leads peo ple to e n t e r into the spirit of Jesus' teaching. It makes much of Christ's church and builds upon a laid-foundation The relation of meaning of the gospel, evangel and evangelist should be understood. Gospel means god-spell, good tidings. Two examples are given from the Bible: "Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and bre thern, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice a mong us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the [ gospel, and believe" Acts 15: 7. "For I am not ashamed of the ? gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to j every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek" Romans 1: 16. Evangel means an agent who proclaims, a servant, a messen ! ger. Evangelist means a herald, a ? bringer of good tidings. It is a name given to those heralds of salvation through Christ who are not apostles. It occurs three times in the new Testament. "And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed and come unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode there." Acts 21: 8- "And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some evange lists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Ephesians 4: 11 12. Therefore, an evangelist is one who has ability, seeks to win the lot to Christ and desires to give the gospel message to the people. Today evangelism means not only proclamation but teaching and demands for decision Evangelism to be New Testa ment evangelism must have Jes us as its center and circumfer ence. Jesus is the master evange list of all time. His mission was and is to go out and find and evangelize- "For the Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost" Luke 19: 10."
