Baccalaureate Speaker
Challenges Graduates

give you better returns than the investment v
vou have made here,” the Reverend Joseph
N. Green, rector, Gtace Episcopal Church,
Norfolk, Virginia, told 144 graduates during
the Baccalaureate service at Saint Augustine’s
College Sunday morning, May 25.
He said that, although this is
the age of black agitation, re

of the black people, and tlu-v

He stated that, in this era
of television, there is a ques

lives. There is a purpose, di

gift of primitive religion. They
must use it. "Our religion tra
