Missionary Eddie Gilstrap
who represents Southern
Baptists in Guatamela
brought a thrilling challenge
to all of the people who
were assembled there. It was
a real joy to hear him and
to catch something of his
zealous spirit in seeking
after mission opportunities.
Some of the things that he
said caused deep concern. He
said that we are actually
winning 22% of one day’s
birth rate. In other words
78% of the people that are
being born into the world
today are not being reached
for Christ. Less than 5% of
the people of Guatamela are
Christians. He said that the
peoples of the world demand
a total commitment pro
gram. In 1812 some of our
missionaries went to China
and served effectively bring
ing the message of Christ,
but 18 years ago with 175
missionaries in China the
doors were closed. He pointed
out that all night long a
group of communists in 1962
cried out, “We will change
the world, we will change
the world". In 1962 when he
and his family went to lan
guage school to study some
people were saying, "We only
have ten years in Guatamela
to preach the gospel.” Now
some are saying that op
posing forces are closing in
and perhaps there is only
three to five years left of
freedom unless we do some-
thing in our world.
Rev. Gilstrap continued to
say that Western Nigeria
doors have just been closed.
He pointed out that not only
do people demand a total
commitment and the world
demands a total commit
ment, but the Bible demands
a total commitment on the
part of every individual. The
book of Acts says, “If you
only knew Christ you would
want to tell others about
Him”. His message was a
definite challenge to every
individual there to give
themselves more fully to
missions here and around
the world.
Rev. Peter McCloud of the
Second Ponce DeLeon Bap
tist Church has been sched
uled to speak as the featured
speaker, but found out dur
ing the previous week that
he could not be present.
Rev. Alastair Walker, pastor
of the First Baptist Church
of Griffin, was asked to come
and speak. Bro. Walker is
also from Scotland having
been born in Paisley, Scot
land and the son of parents
who were later missionaries
to South Africa. His training
has been at Baylor Univer
sity, a Northern Baptist
Theological Se min ar y in
Chicago and the Southern
Baptist Theological Semi
nary in Louisville, Ky. He
has pastored in Kentucky
and also in Knoxville, Tenn.
The message of Bro. Walker
was outstanding.
He read from 1 Corin
thians and emphasized the
need for unity in the church.
He said, “If we are to truly
mobilize for Christ and if we
are to do the job to which
He has called us we must
unify ourselves and our pro
gram. We must definitely

'Communist Inspired'
WASHINGTON, D. C — De
cember s—Karl Prussion,
former counterspy for the
FBI, stated today that Mar
tin Luther King’s proposed
"disruption” of Washington,
D. C. and other cities is
"typical of his Communist
inspired techniques.”
Prussion is to be the main
speaker at Liberty Lobby’s
state-wide Political Action
Rally, the organization’s
first to be held in Georgia,
on Saturday, December 9, at
The Atlanta Biltmore Hotel.
Prussion further stated
from his Michigan office
that “Martin Luther King
has either been a member
of, or wittingly has accepted
support from, over 60 Com
munist fronts, individuals or
organizations, which give aid
to or espouse Communist
causes.”
Prussion said that when
he acted as a Federal under
cover agent from 1954 to
1958 he participated in meet
ings attended by California
delegates of the Communist
party and California County
committees of the Commu
nist Party, and at these
times Ed Beck, a Communist,
and present Secretary of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored
People of San Mateo County,
Calif., and member of the
Congress on Racial Equality
(CORE), presented a direc
tive from his San Francisco
offices stating that:
"All Communists working
within the framework of the
NAACP are instructed to
work for a change of the
passive attitude of the
NAACP toward a more mill
commit ourselves to loving
God with all of our heart,
soul, strength and mind and
our neighbors as ourselves.”
Rev. Walker emphasized the
fact that in order to serve
Christ effectively and effi
ciently there must be a re
newed effort at the local
level as well as with the mis
sionary thrust around the
world and we must be uni
fied In all that we do.
Surely as we left the serv
ice that night and several
had come already to rededi
cate themselves to Christ
and make commitments for
fuller Christian service, we
were thankful that we had
been present at another
"Mobilization Night” and we
thank Ralph Thomas the
Training Union Director for
the Clayton Missionary As
sociation and all of those
that work with him for lead
ing out in work that is train
ing people to do the job to
which God has called them.
The program of training Is
training those who are al
ready church members,
orientating new members
who come into church and
then giving courses in spe
cialized training to better
prepare people for their
work for Jesus Christ. Next
year can be a glorious year
as individuals are better
trained to serve the one
whom they love.

tant, demonstrative, class

strations, marches and pro
tests for the purpose of
transforming the NAACP
into an organization for the
achievement of Communist
objectives.”
Prussion said that "King’s
present encouragement to
his followers that they seek
a ‘disruptive pattern of ap
proach to again stir the fires
of malcontent into commu
nity unrest, revolution, chaos
in our streets and continuing
class-warfare is Communist
doctrine,” and “it is high
time that the American peo
ple be fully informed as to
the calibre of Negro leader
ship and the real underlying
causes of riots in their Na
tion.”
