Bishop C. M. Grace M as a Mighty Man
By ELDER JAMES LONG
Secretary, General Council House of Prayer.
I ifih and final article in a series
on the House of Prayer For All
People since the passing of its
F ader and founder Bishop C. M.
(Daddy) Grace in I,os Angeles on
January 12, 1960.
Bishop C. M. Grace, came to
America 60 years ago. lie was

liy TOM McMAHJN, Religion Editor. The State. Columbia, S a
ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA —
American diplomats from all over
Africa lolled out a red carpet as
Hilly Graham’s “Safari for Souls”
passed their way.
The V.I.P. treatment accorded
the evangelist was particularly
rot’ceable in this capital of a
strategic country which is lean¬
ing slightly toward neutralism.
High officials here said that the
staff department , generally views
Graham’s overseas tour as one of
America's best cultural exports.
Graham’s meetings reflect the
religious side of American life, thus
helping to counteract the charge
that Uncle Sam is a money grab¬
bing militarist, they indicated.
The United States Information
Service also publicized the Addis
Ababa visit of the famous jazz
hand which followed Graham across
Africa arid finally caught up with
him here.
Also in town as a cultural ex¬
port from behind the Bamboo Cur¬
tain —- a team of acrobats from
Peking. The Red Chinese group
stayed at the same hotel as the
Graham team.
Tire Red serenade toward Haile
Sel i- sio's empire is still muted but
their theme has a sinister pitch
that is causing concern, if not
alarm, in western diplomatic cir¬
cles.
I.a t summer Ethopia’s emperor
visited Moscow and accepted in
principle a Russian offer to lend
his country 400 million ruples and
agreed to expanded cultural con¬
tracts-
, A few days ago Selassie approv-
je l a Russian offer-to build a techni
1 <al school in Ethiopia with a stu¬
ff dent capacity of a thousand as an
outright gift. In addition, Rus-
shins have operated a hospital in
Addi Ababa for several years.
Americans are quick to point out
that the United States has given
ai l to Ethiopia far in excess of
the prospective Russian loan. Some
Ethiopians counter with the ob¬
servation that much American aid
is in the form of surplus goods
which had been dumped somewhere,
and they feel their share of aid
i- small compared to their need,
and point to the much larger grants
going to Marxist Yugoslavia and
High test Spain.
It should be noted that Ameri¬
can. serving here as doing an out¬
standing job of interpreting our
country to the Ethopians wtio are
often on a shoestring budget.
A st' ong case can be made for
Christianity as a bullwark against
the spread of Communism. Of
course, anti-Communism is not the
motivating reason for spreading
the Gospel, but it is a frequent
by-product.
For example, consider the cast
of an Ethiopian Christian layman
who strongly supported Graham’s
meetings. This man owns two
houses and rents one of them. The
Russians offered him nearly a
sand dollars a year more than he
was getting if he would rent his
house to them. He refused be-
cause he did not want to help the
Reds in any way.
Some Ethiopian government
leaders opposed the Emperor’s de-
eision to accept the big Russian
loan and there is some question as
to whether it will be implemented.
If it is, a small flood of Russian
technicians will pour into the conn-
try.
Russia already has a firm foot¬
hold in West Africa. Sekou Toure,
a former Marxist who still leans
to the Left, has welcomed massive
Russian aid to the newly indepen¬
dent Guinea.
If the Reds can get as firm a
grip on Ethiopia as they have in
East Africa, they ran launch then-
psychological “pincers movement”
on sub-Sahara Africa with its
fabulous store of raw materials.
Ethiopia is particularly vulerable
because of her underdeveloped
economy and her appalling illite¬
racy rate. Emperor Selassie is
trying desperately to educate his
people but his resources are limit¬
ed. “We never knew the benefits
of colonial domination,” remarked
one Ethiopian with a touch of sar¬
castic bitterness.
During his visit Mr. Graham
called ofr a renewed zeal in evan¬
gelizing the Ethopian people, both
by Africans and reinforced miss¬
ionary forces. He also urged mas¬
sive increases in other key pro¬
grams of missions such as educa¬
tion and medical care.
PROVES WORTH IN WAR
With reference to the men of
the National Guard, Secretary of
War Robert P. Patterson de¬
clared,after World War II,“They
made a brilliant record on every
fighting front. They proved once
more the value of the traced
citizen-soldier.”

The extent of his education is not
known, but he spoke French, Span¬
ish, Italian, German, English
fluently.
Daddy had been preaching since
was a little boy. He was a
man of great courage. He had
been in court seventeen times but
never served a day. He was chas¬
ed out of Georgia in 1926 and chas¬
ed out of Florida in 1927. Yet
he kept building. He was thrown
out of Augusta, Ga., but he re¬
turned and one of the largest
churches in our denomination
stands in that city today.
You ask about the paternity
suits? They were trials to test
Daddy, set by the devil . . . the
same way Christ was tested. In
one instance, his own members
had betrayed him as Judas be¬
trayed Christ.
What other man could have en¬
dured and accomplished these
things alone? The House of
Prayer is the largest single de¬
nomination in America which can
and does move as a single unit.
Daddy did this.
Outsiders found Daddy’s ways
and mannerism unusual and eccen¬
tric. These we feel, were his pri-

i viliges as a person. Any man, re-
gardless of how he looks to others,
enn wear what he pleases and act
as he pleases, as long as those
things do not overstep the bounds
of decent y. Had Daddy done what
everybody else did, then he wouhi
not have been Daddy . . . nor
would he have accomplished this
great' denomination.
Whenever Daddy Grace came
to a town, the entire city prosper¬
ed. Hotels, service stations, gro¬
cery stores, dry cleaning establish¬
ments did a rushing business. It
was always a busy occasion. None
of our buildings were large enough
to hold a crowd. Men who made
their living selling food and trin¬
kets on the street made good
money at our parades. Daddy,
indeed did good for many peo¬
ple. He was, without a doubt, a
mighty man!
Finally, we feel Bishop Grace
was a superior man, because no
individual leader accomplished so
much. However, we have not lost
our founder. For while he lived,
God led us through him. And we
still continue to grow and pros¬
per against all obstacles . . . with
God's guidance.
