Biblical Recorder Editor focuses
on Chowan seal in Founder's address
The focus of the Chowan College
seal—truth and light— was the
topic of the Founder’s Day address
by the Rev. R. Gene Puckett of
Raleigh Monday, Oct. 11 in Helms
Center.
Puckett, the new editor of the
Biblical Recorder, news journal of
the Baptist State Convention of
North Carolina, spoke to over 1,000
students and faculty and staff
members.
He said that “truth is far more
than fact. Truth is based on fact,
but it far exceeds it. Fact is in-
dispensible to truth but truth is
much more than the absence of er
ror.”
Puckett continued, “in the con
text of our Baptist way of life, ob
viously truth must be posed in its
relationship to God. The truth
about ourselves and our world is
brought to a focus in God himself.”
“Light in a Dark World”
The Baptist journalist said that
Jesus was described by John as the
light which shines in a dark world.
“It was dark when Jesus came; it
is still dark. Despite the progress
of man in so many areas, man still
lives in darkness compared to the
infinite wisdom and understanding
of God.
“Isn’t it significannt we can put
a man on the moon and bring him
back but we cannot settle the ques
tion of where we deposit waste
matierial. We can land Columbia
within a few seconds and a few feet
of a previously designated time
and place after days in orbit, but
we cannot, or will not, or have not,
halted the massacre of hundreds of
innocent men, women and children
in Lebanon.
“The darkness is still with us,
but so is the light. We search for
truth but we have not learned how
to live it out fully,” Puckett
declared.
He added, “The seal of this
distinguished institution embodies
the Latin words for Truth and
Light—Veritas and Lux. All the
world, not just North Carolina Bap
tists, are fortunate that we have
had an institution for 134 years
maintaining a diligent pursuit for
truth and light.”
The guest speaker said freedom
follows the discovery of truth and
light. “This is a generation which
makes much of liberation.
Minorities want to be set free.
presented by the John A. Holmes
High School band of Edenton,
selected Band of the Day during
the Festival of Marching Bands
held that morning in Chowan
Stadium.
The Washington High School
band, winner of its division for
bands with 60 members or less,
presented the pre-game show.
First Prize in the Residence Hall
Decorations competition was cap
tured by Columns, with Parker se
cond. Honorable mention was won
by Belk and East.
Thursday, a Car Parade was
held with Mel Paris serving as
parade marshal. Special Services
won the $25 prize for the most
original entry. First and second
prizes of $25 and $15 in the
thematic entry category were
taken by Phi Theta Kappa and
Jenkins Hall respectively.
Homecoming activities were
planned by the Student Govern
ment Association.
Alumni activities included a
morning reception on the brick
plaza beside Columns and alumni
luncheon. Members of the 1951
football team were special guests
and introduced during halftime of
the football game.
Women, definitely not a minority,
want to be liberated with equal
rights, pay for services rendered
and respected on the same level to
their male counterparts. Ethnics
want to be accepted and respected
on the same level as the prevailing
majority in any society.
“It is an age in search of
freedom.”
“It was,, and is, Jesus who is the
creator, the life and the light of
men who says: ‘Ye shall know the
truth and the truth shall make you
free.’ ”
Puckett was introduced by
President Bruce E. Whitaker. The
chaplain, Dr. R. Hargus Taylor,
brought the scripture and prayer.
Dr. Robert Mullinax, who heads
the Council on Christian Higher
Education for the Baptist State
Convention of North Carolina, ac-
compied Puckett to the campus.
They were guests of the college at
a luncheon attended by various
faculty and staff members.
Puckett told those assembled for
the luncheon that he was a “cham
pion” of higher education. He said
he looked forward to publishing ar
ticles describing the mission and
ministries of Chowan College.
LIFETIME GIFTS
THAT LAST FOREVER
You can give during your lifetime gifts that will last
forever—helping enrich the lives of young men and
women. You can create an endowment, whereby the
principal is invested and the income used forever to
undergird the work and mission of Chowan College.
You can even make the gift now, receive income for
lifetime and then have the remainder come to Chowan
College to help young people forever ... or the income
may go to your designated beneficiary for their lifetimes
and then to Chowan forever. At the some time you can
reduce both income and estate taxes.
You don't have to be wealthy to make a lifetime gift
that will last forever. Ordinary people make forever gifts
everyday and when they do—they become extra- or
dinary for they have done something that will last
forever.
Imagine what wonder your gift might work and
keep on working. Reach out forever by making an en
dowment gift, a living trust or through your will or your
estate. It's easy to do. You can begin right now and we
are anxious to help you. Limitless opportunities are open
to you at Chowan College.
Call me at (919) 398-4101 or write to me and I will
personally share with you both opportunities and ways
for you to make a gift that will last forever.
