STATE BAPTISTS TO
MEET NOV. 16-18th
(Continued from page one)
W. Klncheloe, Jr., pastor of the
First Baptist church of this city,
left today to be present for the
pastor’s conference tonight. Rev.
Howard J. Fbrd, pastor of the
Wilkes boro Baptist church, will
leave tomorrow to attend the con-, waging a war that takes
ventlon. Others expected to 50,000 to kill one of the enemy,
4m^a, did la A great way Just
art’sort of thing. We forgot
self relance, and decided we
should fm to Washington for our
solaoA' We asked the government
to do those things we had been
accustomed to do ourselves. And
In many respects we relinquished
our former heritage, dependence
on our dwn efforts, to the bureau-
cnats In Washington. We have
lulled into the feeling that the
government owes us a living. The
Lotus philosophy has enslaved us.
We are now living under thous
ands of laws that have never been
before a legislative committee.
Many of us have adopted the ham
and eggs philosophy, and through
It and similar pleas, we have pli
ed up a stupendous national debt.
Everybody ought to have some
thing from the puWlc trough
whether he aid any thing for It or
not. Thrift hes been antiquated.
It has led to the philosophy that
wealth ought to be redistributed.
Taxing would be one of the means
of doing that.
‘‘It took Pearl Harbor to wake
us up to these conditions. We
found ourselves In a mess. We
tend are T. E. Story, Judge John
son J. Haj-es, and D. E. Elledge.

V hereas In the Civil War Is took
fifty cents to get one man killed.
We are at the place where we
must only spend money that is
necessary to the progress of the
war. At the beginning of the war
we owed 44 billions, we now owe
144 billion and It is estimated it
will cost us 300 billions to win
the war. We ere now running in
the red two billions dollars a
month. At the beginning of the
war we owed $334 per person, we
now owe $1100 per person. Our
government now owns and con-
I trols 20 per cent of all the busi-| music immensely,
ness In this country. These facts
ought to challenge every thought
ful American to sane thinking”.
J. R. Finley read an article on
‘‘After War Planning”, and then
suggested we should be doing
some thinking and acting our
selves for this community. He
stated there are to be large sums
of government money spent for
flood control, and concluded that
our Public Affairs Committee
should be making plans for press
ing our claims for the Yadkin
river project. The president, in
response to this request, asked the
Public Affoirs Committee to make
a report and suggestions at the
next luncheon.
