SATURDAY, MARCH Sfl, 1960 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 ZsAfAKI WITH BILLY GRAHAM IH AFRICA 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.” ■ ) ■ < ■ ' M 1 ' L» I ' ■ fr ' l"! ' )■ ♦♦ ■H em" ■ fr -fr•.

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.

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.
