v cates To Be Awarded. ;
"The Cull of Tomorrow and Man's
Response" was the subject 0 an able
sermon hy Dr. (1. A. Martin, pastor of
the First Baptist Cfeurch. delivered
Sunday to- the members of the Senior
Class of the Concord High School. The
nervlee wan held At Central .(traded-
School, siiil the large auditorium or rue
1 school was tilled with persons anxious
to hear Dr. Martin.
I ) The speaker chose his text from the
seveuth Terse -of. the first chapter of
'it 2nd Timothy:-" For Ood hath not given
. us the spirit of fearj butof power,
and of love, niiil of nonnd mind." s
1 It can he truly said, said the speak-
' rr lii beginning, That no age so much as
' . , tlie presen( has called for real men and
women. "I Interpret the times and
changes also to mean that men and
women of n rare type are needed, and
' necessary," Dr. Martin continued, ''and
. ' on the'crest of the tide of the times I
. see standing the triumphant, conquer
ing, smiling heroes, more Illustrious
than the heroes of the battlefield.
"(Jod has given each of you a spir
it.' Perhaps you have banked the tire
In your soul, I urge you to kindle up
the spirit, to kindle up the Divine niit-
1, it within yon, for you have- to make
.''good for your God and for your hu
7 hum f rlemls. Each f you, I hope, has
found and has' surrendered' to your
Cod. It is necessary that you Flo this.
for if yon are to-accept the challenge
of Tomorrow yon must he on the side
of God.
,"(lnd has not given yon the spirit of
' a coward- hut He lias given yon learn'
lug and wide discernment. - Cowardice
; defeat the Divine dodgn ami defeats

made us snper-amlnul and gave its the

ami uiau alike despise yellow -m the
heart or a man. ikmi Has never wen
a coward. History shows that "when
God needed a man for His Divine work,
and the man wus not available, the
work of God was held up for it Imn-
- dred years maybe, until He could get
a man with spirit, a man who would
not hesitateVin the face of danger.
, "To each of you God has given such
a spirit. He has given each of you
V that power with which to Wast down
" all barriers and finish the Divine task
given by Him. With this power the
Impossible becomes easy. Peter had
. such powrwheu he wllked on the
water; D&ijel bad such power when he
defied the lions in their den; Sampson
had such power when with the bone of
an ass, he slew one thousand enemies.
(I1 has given such power to you, and
,' as I looked hito your' faces . Friday
night ami toilny I believe that you
have within yon the spirit' to answer
the challenge . und do everything to
make good. ;' - ' ,' " ', '.'
"Ami what kind of -mien are needed?
Men .with, vision, men who can see
things, prophets; u lid only such men
as these can rise to a plane with the
heroeg -of the-past .., Know" Ood for
Himself. Oct on the side of Ood. and
you will , meet the challenge. Know
that Ood made everything. Including

life with harmony and fellowship with
God. i There Is up greatness aside from
. Ood. v,,Try to learn what His 4dealre1
ror you is, ana try wun au possiuie
power to do what He wants. '
; "Make names for yourself not in' a
tlnanclul way. or a political way only,
but in such a manner that other men
will become great through association
with ,you. . The greatest men Were
made not because their names are In
the Bible but because without them
there would be no Bible, , because
' without their heroism their deeds there
would have been no Word.. The names
' of these men are in the Bible because
'they saw life as God saw It and be
'c;iuse they made something of v their
vision;,. .,.:,-, j;;..;:.,'
"Tomorrow : calls for men of learn
ng and I mean thekind, of learning
that Is of God. Leaming that.t shows
' compassion, as God baa shown : learn
ing that restores to the broken their
souls; learning that feeds the hungry
and gives new life.-; There may . be
missionaries and ministers In this
class; there may be those whom. Ood
will call to give their all. Through
the Good Ramarltan we ,- see a good
man, who stopped, knelt down and ad
ministered to a mau .who 'waa down
ami out. That Is the-kind of men and
women we need In: your life you will
see the broken, the. wounded, the de
spised, and God will watch you and
' He will see If you respond to them and
accept the challenge, of learning and
' love by giving them another chance. '.
"Especially In this age Tomorrow
calls-for men and women who are pre
