WARNERSVILLE MOVES It was Inspiring to watch the Tine group of the young Warnersville Civic club march to their meeting place regardless of the rain Sunday, July 29. Their program, unlike some others I have* watched, was a fast-moving, well-planned sche auie. me audience, too, like the organization which it came to see, was a cross-section of the people. Although the weather was a program-killer, these people, interested in their section of the city, braved the rain to come and learn something for the betterment of their community. At long last, the "forgotten section" of Greensboro has come to life. These thoughtful men left on the home front have seen conditions going from bad to worse hi our section of the city. The men have resolved to do something about it. One noticeable thing about this group of men is that they are from the . people, no so-called "big shots" to gum up the works?just people with a purpose. The place of the organization's birth was no lofty educational center, but a place close to the people?a pool room?amid the clicking of cue balls and dense clouds of cigarette smoke a meet. . lng of minds took place to help bring order out of chaos: Ten men began to talk about the idea and when it had finally come to '9 close, perhaps because the place had to close, 31 men had caught the fever and pledged their full support to see it through. All eyes shall be on this new organization ?some as critics, some as cynics, and soma with hope in their hearts. The club needs but to go slowly and build '* its foundation solidly, and in due 5' " ' N THE FU time it will be a voice in our fair t . city. Once it is firmly on its way, 1 other sections of Greensboro will fall in line and our city will be a model for others to follow. Our best wishes for the Warnersville Civic club. In spite of lowering skies and intermittent showers Sunday, the newly-formed Warnersville Civic club met on schedule, at J. C. Price school, at 3:30 p. m. Forty-two members of the organization met at the place of its birth and after the blue and yellow colors of the club were pinned on each member, they paraded to the assembly hall, preceded by two marshals of the march. Many umbrellas and raincoats were in evidence as the auditorium began to fill, and when the 1 program got under way, 3 (fO people were present. It was an all- 1 Warnersville program, by the ' people, and for the people of Warnersville. The Reverend Mr. ' I Gilmer gave the invocation. Alvis Rhodes, president of the < club, acted as emcee. Lawrence > A. Thompson, well-known tenor 1 sang "My Task." Mrs. Sarah Bar- ( tee accompanied him at the pi- 1 ano. Miss Vernelle Jones sang < "Calm As the Night," with Mrs. I Ituth Wade at the piano. ? The Rev. Mr. T. E. Carter, the < club's honorary chaplain, gave, 1 the inspirational remarks. "A ? father and three sons" quartet s sang "I Saw the Light," and as an encore, sang "Jezebel." The f Gospel Tide singers sang "Jesus ? Lifted Me" and Oil. in My Lamp. I Herman E. Cummings was the c principal speaker. He gave the " aims and objectives of the club. 1 Girl Scout troop No. 78, of Shi- ? loh Baptist church acted as ush- I ers, with T. D. Wooten as chief 1 usher. Walter Bethel and T. D. Wooten lifted the free-will of- f fering. ^ Members of the Rosebud Gar. h den club were present and Mrs. Margaret Yancey, representative t of the L. Richardson Memorial o hospital building committee. t After the program, refresh- t ments, consisting of cookies and pre-war lemonade, were served. INTERNATIONAL \ SUNDAY SCHOOL a ^*iW3UIN ; OPPORTUNITIES BRING 1 RESPONSILITIES 1 Golden Text: X have a goodly v heritage.?Psalms 16:6 1 \ DEAD END OR 1 THOROUGHFARE? d I By HALFORD E. LUCCOOK c OUR LESSON on Isaac's carrying on the great Inheritence 11 and responsibility left by his f father Abraham touches one of B the most pertinent criticisms 8 made oft democracy today and of ^ much modern life in general. 1 That criticism, as commonly ex- e pressed, Is this: "People are * more concerned with their rights than with their responsibilities." Isn't that true? Is there not 8 a more general and insistent ^ clamor for "my rights" than an H eagerness to fulfill "my obliga- 1 tions?" People in a democracy d such as ours demand the right to vote, the right to free speech and a free press, and freedom t from arbitrary arrest. They f should demand these things.. But 1 so often they do not seem 1Jn real- r lze that these rights go with cor- ^ responding dutieB. Without peo- a pie devoted to preserving the f dramatic way of life by putting 1 the common good of all before TURE OUTLOOK. GREENS :heir special advantage freedom will be Imperiled and gradually lost. It is easy to denounce corruption while one pays no attention to his duty to secure and preserve good government. Give ex. amples. We should never dare forget the words of Wendell Wrllkie; "The best answer to communism and fascism is a living, vibrant, fearless democracy, social, economic, and political." That calls for the acceptance of responsibilities. So with freedom of worship. People demand it. But how many claiming ^it as a right have an equal concern to strengthen the religious life and force of their community and nation, which alone can give real meaning to freedom of worship? For what does "freedom to worship God" mean if people have no God to worship or desire to worship him? In our lesson text we see Isaac iccepting both his great heritage ind the duties that went along with it. Evidently he was not as Jreat a man as his father Abralam, but he faced a different sittation and demand. His was not ;he task of leading a venture, some T)Ionp.erinf ovnMuu- * c vn|/lUlUUll IlltO Canaan. That had been done, its was the task of preserving ind carrying on the gains made rnd the purposes started. He 'digged again the wells of watir, which they had digged in the lays of Abraham his father." lis was the task of being "a onservative" in the best sense ?that is, one deeply devoted to ieeping active and powerful the ;reat values passed on from the last. That is our role in part, at east, is it not? We have all, as Christians, reely received from the past. Ve are to debt to others who lave labored. Think of the ennobling effect he sense of a great obligation to ithers brings as it is pictured tn j hese words of Albert Einstein, he great scientist: A hundred ttmes every day I emind myself that my inner and uter life depend on the labors f other men, living and dead, ,nd that I must exert myself in irder to give the same measure i ,s I have received and am receiv- I ng. I 'hose are the words of a man ] vho did not warn- tr> o ? .. ? - - ?/ a IJ U e d 11 hrough life without paying his 'ay. He did not want to stand lolding a tincup into which gtfts iropped while he himself gave lothing. Now apply those words, in lass discussion, to two fields: First, apply them to what we i a v e received from our own amilies ,our parents, our imnediate ancestors. What are ome things we have received? Vhat will it mean If lye give in he same measure? One man, a oldier overseas, put It this way, 'riting to a friend: I received from my parents a trong body, healthy and tough. The least I can do is to keep myelf straight so that I can hand he same big gift on to my chllIren. Think of the larger family? he Christian Church. What good lifts have we received through he Church? What obligations est upon us to do for our day 'hat some of our great person.lttles of Christian history did or theirs?
