Sin© the college was not accredit
ed at that time, Mr. Cox finished
high'School and the first three years
there and transferred to Phillips
university, at Enid, Okla., where he
obtained his A. B. and M. A. degrees.
In Oklahoma he preached every
Sunday at a nearby town and work
ed during the week at odd jobs. In
the summers he conducted revival
meetings, worked in restaurants and
cafeterias. One year he sold Bibles
in a nearby Eastern Carolina coun
ty, often making as much as $40 a
week.
“Oklahomans really know the mean
ing of Southern hospitality,’' declares /
the preacher, who says that they ac
cept you for what you are and you
are in their good graces until you
prove yourself otherwise.
“I thought the more viewpoints I
could get, the better prepared - I
would be,” stated Mr. Cox, when''ask
ed why he chose to go on to Drake
university, Dee Moines, Iowa, for his
B. D. degree. Before going to
Drake, he was pastor of a church in
Stillwell, Okla., for a year.
He graduated from Drake in Aug- i
ust, 1934. and accepted the pastorate
at West Point in February, 1936. | ]
The idea that a pastor must be an ;
ardent reader and student is exempli- ■
fied by Mr. Cox who keeps several '•
library Books from nearby colleges on ,
hand to read as a part of hid regular ;
preparation for sermons. Whenever
» comes across something that be

f» he gets in his car and goes' to
reenville or Wilson and hunts for it
one of the libraries.
Mrs. Cox, who taught dramatics and
ngUah before her marriage, helps
out in the church work, too. She fre
quently gives programs and book re
views, both at church meetings and
clubs, aqd is a director of the Chi
Rhos, a Junior fellowship group.
