Warren Budd Is Chapel Speaker Christianity is a tough religion and it takes a real man to be a real Christian, declared the Rev. Warren Candler Budd. pastor of the Warrenton Methodist Church, in an address Tuesday morning to the students of Emory at Oxford. Mr. Budd, who is conducting the summer revival at Allen Memorial Church, was introduced by Dean George S. Roach. Rev, H. H. Jones, superintendent of the Decatur-Ox ford District, was a visitor to the chapel exercises Tuesday and pronounced the benediction. “Christianity is no soft religion," said Mr. Budd. “The good Christ ian, like a good soldier, is tough— able to endure the hardship and suifering and trials of life. Christ was a real man, with nothing ef feminate about him except his great compassion for the world. If you expect to be a great Christ ian, don’t expect anything easy.” Mr. Budd soundly denounced the age of softness in which we were living before Pear Harbor. He said the great trouble with many so called Christians was their desire to be Christians without the will ingness to bear the cross that Jesus bore. NUMBER 34
