Seven
'Communism Challenges GocV
Says Welfare Day Speaker
Monroe E. Dodd Addresses
2600 in Woodruff Hall at
Annual VRA Conference
By Lee Rogers
Communism stands out as the one
supreme challenger of Christianity
and God today, Dr. Monroe E. Dodd,
president of the Southern Baptist
convention, told 2,600 people gath
ered at the eleventh annual Religious
Welfare conference held Tuesday in
Woodruff hall under the auspices of
the Voluntary Religious association
of the University. He spoke twice,
once in the morning and again at
night.
“Communism is an universal or
der asking for world recognition and
authority,” the speaker declared,
"and in the words of Stanley Jones,
‘We niU3t supply a substitute for
communism or be lost in it.’ ”
The world is today following two
Jews—one, Carl Marx with his com
munism, and the other Jesus Christ
with His Christianity, Dr. Dodd
pointed out. Marxian followers quote
“what is thine is mine and I will
take it,” while the doctrine of the
Nazarene is “mine is mine but if
you need it I will give it to you,”
he continued.
Revive Brotherhood
“The old world order is dead and
the new order is not yet born,” Dodd
commented. “The prime question is
what direction will the new order
take? Can the confusion of this torn
and distressed world be transformed
into a symphony of good govern
ment? We cannot turn to social
ism, nationalism, and the other ‘isms’
for their appeals are only local.
What we need, and must have, for
the new order is an universal ap
pealing doctrine that is not local and
geographical.
“Economic men cannot be relied
upon to deliver us as they fail to
have the feeling of the spiritual man.
We see this, for Christianity goes as
far as communism does and then
goes farther. There must be a spir
itual feeling.”
Confusion, both political and so
cial, reigns today, Dr. Dodd empha
sized, for today’s means of trans
portation makes a local problem the
problem of the world. We are in a
sick world with too many telling
what is wrong and offering no way
out, he said.
"Revive the world’s brotherhood
if you would have the world to live,”
the Baptist leader declared. “Al
ways water is needed for the human
race and the Word of God is the
water needed today. Voltaire, Marx,
Lenin had no contact with a living,
personal God or they could not offer
the plans they have.
Sanford Entertains
“If a man says there is no all-
powerful God he is declaring the
very fact he is denying. For, if he
says there is no God, he is making
himself God when he says he knows
all—he would have to know all if
he could know there is no God.”
Following the morning session of
the conference, a luncheon was given
in Memorial hall by President S. V.
Sanford which was attended by dis
tinguished guests from all over the
state, religious leaders, the board
of directors of the Voluntary Re
ligious association, and the officers
of the student association cabinets.
Speaking to 700 at the evening
session, Dr. Dodd dealt with “Spir
itual Recovery Through the Students
of the World,” after which he
answered questions put to him by
the audience.
“Students have the right to ex
press themselves on the subjects of
controversy today,” he said. “It is
not only their right but they should
be encouraged to do so. Is it fair
for the older generation, who have
made such a muddle of the affairs
of the world, to refuse the students
of today a right to voice an opinion
when they are the ones that will have
to live under the conditions the
elders invoke?
War Declared Useless
“The future has been mortgaged,
by the old generation, to pay for the
present. We should rejoice that the
students today wish to voice an
opinion and take part in things.”
War was declared useles-s by the
speaker and the only thing that arms
prove is which side has the most
brute force. The elders can easily
say fight for it is the youth who must
die. “We say that someone else
must go fight and die. If the men
that make the war had to fight there
would be no war.
“It is the students of Germany
who are saving that country. They,
under a youthful leader, rose up and
stopped the advane of communism
from the east. Japan has stopped it
in the west. America can be thank
ful to the Japs. For this reason

Scott Will Succeed
Chapman as Leader
Of VRA Directors
Dr. Alfred W. Scott, head of the
chemistry department, was elected
to succeed Paul W. Chapman, dean
of the College of Agriculture, as
president of the board of directors
of the Voluntary Religious associa
tion at a meeting of the directors
April 16. The election was held
following a banquet at Memorial
hall given by President Sanford in
honor of Dr. Monroe E. Dodd, guest
speaker at the Religious Welfare
conference, visiting ministers, and
other state notables.

Moore Jr., Atlanta, first vice-presi
dent; Mrs. R. H. Powell, Athens,
second vice-president; Dr. E. M.
Coulter, of the history department
of the University, secretary; and Dr.
C. D. Turner, of the zoology depart
ment of the University, treasurer.
According to the retiring presi
dent of the board, the work of the
Voluntary Religious association has
made great progress during the year,
and the outlook for the coming years
is brighter than ever before.
The annual reports of Claude
Green, president of the Y. M. C. A.;
Jane Miller, Rome, president of the
Y. W. C. A., and Frances Knupp,
Atlanta, president of the Coordinate
college council, showed a large in
crease in the work of the association
over other years.
E. L. Secrest, director of the Vol
untary Religious association, and
Miss Agnes Highsmith, assistant di
rector, were praised highly by the
hoard for the excellent work they
have done at the University this
year.

alone, every penny for missions we ;
j have spent in the Orient has been |
j worth while.”
Student control is needed in this J
country for the old order has made I
a mess of things, Dr. Dodd said
Creation of student brganizations,
pledges, and the like to strive for j
world brotherhood, recovery, and
peace were urged.
“We must create character and j
ideal among the young people of to-}
day that the world of tomorrow may
be better.”
In answering questions the speak- j
! er declared that the youth of today ;
| was the finest the world has ever j
i known. “The reason we hear so
j much of loose morals is that the
means of hearing are greater today.” ,
The “subsidized" press of today
cannot be relied on, he said in
answer to questions on current top
ics based on the newspaper and mag- j
azine articles.
