Monday, January 23, 1950 First Baptist In Building Program The First Baptist church building pro gram will complete the round of building activity among the leading churches of this community. The building project at the First Bap tist church was started along with other church projects here by the erection of a beautiful parsonage. This was the first step in order that the site of the old parsonage might be used for church con struction. Meanwhile, the First Presbyterian church has erected a very beautiful and adequate church sanctuary, completing their building program which started with the religious education building before the war. The First Methodist church has erected a religious education building that is def initely a credit to any church, and ha3 plans for a new auditorium. The First Baptist church has immediate plans for a three-story religious education building, which will later be supplement ed by a chapel fronting the street. The new building will connect with the present church edifice. Churches in Wilkesboro have also car ried out building programs to make their church plants adequate for the congrega tions they serve. Hinshaw Street Baptist church and the Church of God have excellent church structures which have been erected in re cent years. When the church building program is completed in this community, churches will be among the best in towns of com parable size. They reflect credit upon a citizenship who has not forgotten to put first things first. Baptists Should Accept Hospital Aid Funds Trustees of the Baptist hospital in Win ston-Salem and the general board of the Baptist State Convention have voted to accept a large sum from the State Medi cal Care Commission as part of the cost to add a wing of 150 beds to the Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem. These funds are made available through provisions of the Hill-Burton Act, in a manner similar to the financing of the Wilkes General Hospital here. The funds are supplied by federal and state govern ments. There is some objection to acceptance of the funds, because of the very sound policy" of separation of church and state. Some believe that acceptance of the mon ey would be a violation of the principle to keep government and church separate and independent of each other. But in voting to accept the money, the Baptists board stated specifically that the mosey would bo repaid in hospital serv ices to the people, which appears to this corner to be sound reasoning. The Bap tist Hospital, supported by the Baptists of North Carolina, all the time renders a valuable hospital service to those unable to pay, or who can pay only a part of the cost of their treatment. Although one of the largest hospitals in this part of the state, the Baptist hos pital is mucVtoo small and many are on' the waiting list for beds all the time. The addition of a hospital wing with 160 beds would mean that 160 people all the time could receive hosptt.1 trestment thst are now being turned away for lack of room. Under the plan under consideration, the state and federal funds would pay about 40 per cent of the costs with Baptists of North Carolina furnishing the other. In view of the service the hospital will ren der to those unable to pay full cost, it would appear that the Baptists would be stretching a point to refuse to take the government money, especially when no .control over the hospital would be re tained by any branch of the government. The Bowman Gray School of Medicine, one of only two graduate schools in North Carolina turning out doctors in recent years, needs a large hospital to increase efficiency of the school. The two institu tions are closely correlated and what af fects one affects the other. The medical school and Baptist Hospital are great as sets to the entire state, and no opportun ity to strengthen them should be passed up. Raleigh Roundup Is Capital News Feature Thu sday The Journal-Patriot began publishing a news feature entitled Raleigh Roundup. This feature, to be carried on Thursday of each week, is designed to give readers an inside picture of what is going on at the state capital. The column is written by Eula Dixon Greenwood, successor t o Thompson Greenwood as author, and is carried by forty newspapers in North Carolina. The Journal-Patriot neither endorses nor condemns the subject matter carried in the column, and any opinions express ed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the policy of this newspaper. ?? This is one of several new features to be included in The Journal-Patriot in the near future to render a more complete newspaper service to readers. Readers are invited to read the Ra leigh Roundup regularly, as it will keep fViem UD-to-date on what is going on in North Carolina's capital city. LIFE'S BETTER WAY WALTER E. I5ENHOUP High Point, N. C.. Route 4 REMEMBER THIS A judge of the Domestic Relations Court, Nashville, Tenn., recently said: "The juvenile court over which I preside has jurisdictions over children under sev enteen years of age who have violated the law. Since June 1, 1939, I have tried ap proximately 4,800 cases. Of this number, only twenty-nine have a regular Sunday school or church record. So far I have not had a child in Juvenile court whose fa ther or mother attended either Sunday school or church regularly."?Selected. SUNDAY SCHOOL FACTS Sixty per cent of Sunday school enroll ment is composed of children, and eighty per cent of all the Protestant churches in the United States today were first Sunday schools. Ninety-seven per cent of all Protestant preachers were first members of the Sun day school before their conversion, and through its influence were led to attend church, hear the Gospel and become Christians, and eventually ministers of the Gospel. Eighty-five per cent of Protestant church members were members %of the Sunday school before their conversion, and were led to be saved, unite with tfie church, and become Christian workers, largely through the influence of the Sun day school. It has been estimated that more than fifty per cent of our Bible knowledge was acquired through the Sunday school. Ninety-eight per cent of all Sunday school boys and girls never get into serious trou ble or crime. The vast majority of crimin als never attend Sunday school.?United Evangelical Action. a With the above facts before us we can very easily see the wonderful worth of the Sunday school. Every father and mo ther of the nation should go to Sunday school and take their children. All the children and young people of our nation should be in Sunday school. Every Chris tian should work and pray that he may get every person into* Sunday school that he possibly can. This would not only save the youth of our land from crime, but would sgve their lives to usefulness and their souls from destruction, and would enable multitudes of them to reach heav en. O God, give us multitudes of Sunday school workers! Rites Held For J. A. Costner An impressive funeral service I was held Tuesday afternoon, Jan. 10, at Bethany Baptist church for J. A.
