Tlit1 ( hrislian f nut/toint Cameron Morrison was known to all North Caroflnians as a great leader of the people. Perhaps some do not know he was a man of great Christian faith who believed deeply in prayer. About eight o’clock one summer evening I rang the doorbell at Morroeroft and pass , ed my card to the butler. I was explaining to him that 1 had wi itten Mrs. Morrison of my purpose to call upon her when I passed through Charlotte on my way to Montreat, hoping to interest her in a project we were working upon at Presbyterian Junior Col lege. I apologized for being much later than I had expected and expressed the thought that I could call some other time if Mrs. Morrison were busy. Just then Senator Morrison came into the hull, and with Sou thern chivalry and hospitality invited me into the studv 1 reintroduced myself, for I was sure he had forgotten me. As soon as we sat down he told me Mrs. Morrison was sick upstairs. She was no better after sev eral days and they were expecting the doc tor; had thought I were he. I arose to go, expressing my concern for Mrs. Morrison and regret that I had called at such an in convenient time. ‘•No.” he said, “I'm glad you have called. And before you go, will you lead us in pray er, remembering Mrs. Morrison upstairs.” I was not his pastor. He knew 1 was a minister, and he knew generally of my ser vice at Presbyterian Junior College for he was one of those who spoke for it on the floor of Synod when it was founded, ending his speech with a pledge of a Thousand Dollars. As the great old leader and the humble minister of the gospel stood before the study mantle, in reverent and childlike prayer, it seemed that God was there also.—Prepared by Department of Bible, Presbyterian Jun ior College, Maxton, N. C. -tuylhinfi / W 1 I rit tnl All that’s behind the tiring and re-hiring of a top scientist in the Bureau of Standards aparently has not come into the open, but it is now pointed out that that little fellow, Richard'Nixon who plays around the Vice President’s chair, had a hand in the firing. It seems that a fellow out in California mix ed up something and claimed it would pro long the life of automobile batteries. The fellow was a friend of Mr. Nixon, so the story goes, and Mr. Nixon, apparently car ing little about the welfare of the public, had something to do with the firing of the scientist when the scientist found the funny mixture was either worthless or w;as not what the manufacturer claimed it to be. The scientist has been rehired, but reports declare that the Bureau is being stripped of some of its duties. It is possible that the Bureau made discoveries that reached the public without being exploited by monop olies and patents. The corporations don’t like such a plan, and the people’s welfare is to be damned while the big boys continue their daring march, blessed by Secretaries Wilson of Defense and Weeks of Commerce, and the entire Republican administration. One H ay To Do li —-♦ For the third year, Virginians, under the direction of the Byrds, will get an automatic reduction in their income taxes. While the boys are getting their tax fav ors, stories in the Virginia papers tell abotit the “crying” need for more facilities to care for the mentally ill in the Old Dominion. As worshippers of the almighty dollar, there are those who can’t seem to hear the cries of the less fortunate, including the mentally ill. Let us fervently pray that the leaders in our State will not exploit the helpless to enrich others. Siniftli’ Addition* J By Ruth Taylor Have you noticed the one common de nominator in all of the Congressional inves tigations that are taking place today? It is simply this—someone talked too much. Now I am not going to go into the ques tion of the rights and wrongs of the inves tigations. oi' even into the problem of how many conscious traitors we have in our midst. I've *read books, and I know that there are individuals who think that we’d (or they would be) better off as serfs of other nations, and I’m realistic enough to know there are certain people who would do anything for money—but I can’t unrier - mnd-bew any mature-minded, decent-.njyn cipfed rnar iTIW,nSW'lJ*.fht.& »i Jth is .country of.ours. You notice how 1 have emphasized “con scious traitors” and intentional action. Because — we have one great fault as in dividuals and as a people—(I have it myself). We talk too much. We aren’t content to let people take it for granted we know our business. We have to tell it. We have to show off how much we know. Of course most of what we tell is thor oughly unimportant. And of no interest to anyone—even to the person to whom we are talking. And of course, we never tell the whole story—even if we know it. Bu there is such a thing as simple addi tion. And a sentence here and a sentence there added together to tell a pretty clear story to anyone who is looking for informa tion. Here is an example. At the height of the war, I was on a train and I heard a man— a very patriotic citizen—tell without know ing he was doing so—when a convoy was leaving from the west coast, where it was going and what its objective was. Oh yes, he was only complaining about not spend ing the week-end at home, and how good the telephone service was to his plant, and how the Navy got him plane accohnmoda tions because he had to get a rush order through—and he wound up by passing out his card which told what he made. You can see the seriousness of that be cause it was war-time. But the secrets of peace are also important. If your job is worth the doing, it is worth while treating it with respect. Don’t feel you have to im press the person to whom you are talking with the fact that you know the “inside” story. It is an “inside” story, let it stay in side. There is plenty to talk about that isn’t confidential information. Another thing—don’t tell the other man’s tale for him. You prefer to explain your self. don’t you? Then accord him the same courtesy. Be as trustworthy as you know you are, by setting a guard upon your speech. And remember that simple addition may make what you say into something you never meant to tell. /Vo Rejlwtion, Of C.ourue Dan Bennett is quoted in the Industrial Press Service as saying. ‘‘A really accom plished liar is one who has time for both golf and fishing.” The same day the quote appeared, there were stories telling about D. W. Eisenhow er’s golfing and fishing. Of course, there’s no reflection. But the Industrial Press Service is stepping mighty close to some of its own toes. 60 Second Sermons By Fhf.d Dodge TEXT: “C h i 1 d r e n have more need of models than critics.”—Joubert. A young mother was cam paigning for her favorite alderman. She left her child at home. In her political oration she hailed the glories ui ine iamuy mediae. “And let me ask you again,” she crir4. “what is home without a mother?” In reply, a voice from the back answered, "Your baby!" * * * How many times do we hear juveniles blamed for the trouble they cause? Yet back of every wayward boy and girl are parents who have failed. Somewhere in the life of thier child, they relaxed the reins. The child put the bit in his teeth and began to run. The run-away smashed into society’s safeguards for others—and the parents be moan the run-away’s guilt. Relaxed reins on colt or child invite trou ble. When a child meets with social disas ter he erects a monument to his parents, modeled by his parents. The happy, well adjusted child, too, is a monument, with his parents; as a model. Criticism of young people misses its mark when parents are not the targets, too. Identify Bank Robbers % I Cashier D. V. Clayton and other employees of the Guaran ty Bank wait amidst a mob in the court house hall to identify one of the bank robbers. Identity was established in record time.- Photo, courtesy Greenville Daily Reflector! Sunday School Rallies Planned — Rev. E. Gordon Conklin, As sociations!

I Segregation At Military Bases *—*___ Washington—The Defense De partment plans to wipe out segre gation in state-operated schools or military posts in two years. If the states fail to take thi: action by the fall of 1955, then is a strong possibility the federal * t vemmer.t will take over the . schools and operate them on a i nonracial basis, officials said. However, Congress, which in I the past has objected to any fed eral “interference" in local school systems, might fight such a move. President Eisenhower last , March ordered integration in all .schools completely operated by the federal government.
