It was the editor’s privilege recently to speak on the same platform with Dr. H.C. Morrison, Dr. Paul Rader, and a number of other outstanding ministers of the Gospel. It is my opinion that H. C. Morrison has more ele ments of a great preacher than any man I know. He is dramatic, eloquent, and courageous. He thinks clearly. He has imagina tion. He has strong conviction?. He preaches a great Gospel. Dr. Morrison is seventy-seven years old, but he is “going strong.” Paul Rader has had a great Christian experience. He is the son of a Methodist minister. He has culture. When he was young he was sent to college by hi? godly father to study for the ministry. A college professor stole his faith. He tried to preach without faith. It wouldn’t work. He gave up. He became a prize fighter and promoter. The pray ers of his parents followed him. Conviction seized him on Wall Street in New York City. He went to his room in a magnificent hotel. For three days and nights he wrestled with God. He came out of that room filled with the Spirit. For twenty-two years be has preached the gospel around the world. He is supporting more than one hundred missionaries. No man ever brought a greater blessing to the Bob Jones College students than Paul Rader. He is a great preacher of a great Gospel. There will always be a place for a great preacher. He does not depend upon human power or human authority. Sam Jones said that he learned from Simon Peter Richardson that the pulpit is not a prison but a throne. The man who knows the Gospel, who lives the Gospel, and who preaches the Gospel commands the attention of his age. The Apostle Paul has influenced the world more than any man for two thousand years. All he did was to give God’s message to a dis tracted world. He erected no church buildings. He organized no governments. He led no army. He preached: “Preaching is the thing with which to catch the conscience of the world”. All the world needs today is preaching. One dozen preacers like Knox, Luther, Wesley, Whitfield, and Edwards could save civilization. Since we have none of these great preachers, if the ones we have wou'd preach a great Gospel, we could get the needed results. Concrete Work Anyone wishing Con crete work done, see me.

Recovery Depends Upon Individual Responsibility “There ere national perils and emergencies in which individual re sponsibilities multiply, and this hap pens to be one of them. “The real objection of the few ene mies of the Blue Eagle goes much deeper than they are willing to admit. They are of an ancient, Tory school thought. Although we call ourselves a democracy, their idea is that the people must uever be trusted to think or act for themselves. Alexander Hamilton said: ‘The people are a great beast’, and proposed a system under which all their affairs would be taken care of by the good, the wise, and the great. “The trouble with that has been that the good, the wise, and the great have fallen down on th-e job. Educa tion and training have so evened up things that nobody h is a monopoly on goodness and wisd om anymore. Times have changed. The newspaper and the radio and the n joving pictures have enabled the peo, jle to know in stantly what is going on, and more nearly every year to th ink and act as one. Given a trusted Mid able lead ership, and with sue' a a medium of unified action as the B Im Eagle, our people, for what I be Litre to he for the first time, have the o-p^ortunity to solve a national eeon saiic problem by their awn action.

JEFF DAVIS DATA IN NEW CAMPAIGN An interesting and Httle known fact about the early career of Jefferson Davis is featured in the new Chilean Nitrate announcement, one of a unique series concerning this natural product appearing in this newspaper. The fact is used to emphasize the long period through which Chilean Natu ral Nitrate has been used to fertilize Southern crops. In 1830 when Chilean Nitrate was first used in the South, the man who was to become president of the Con federacy, was a young army officer patrolling “the north-western fron tier” as the district comprising Wis consin, Illinois, lowa and Minnesota was known in those days. A few years later Jefferson was a wealthy cotton planter. His planta tions were in Warren county, Miss. It was while he was thus engaged that he developed his interest in politics which took him so far in national of fairs. The first public office for which he was a candidate was that of State Representative in the MississiuJU house. Jefferson’s importance a^a cotton planter and the sizeable fort une which he built during this period of his life, leads to the belief that he may have been one of the early users of Chilean Nitrate on his y early crops Jefferson Davis took seat in Cong ress December 8, 1845 —15 years after Chilean Natural Nitrate’s introduc tion in the South. When he rose to deliver his first speech on the Oregon boundary issue, John Quincy Adams drew near him, for it was Adams' habit to listen carefully to the first speech ot a new member, apparently to discover if it were worth while for him to p-iy attention the next time the speaker had the floor. At the close of the speech Adams crossed over to some friends and said, “That young man, gentlemen, is no ordinary man. He will make bis mark yet, mind me.” In each of the many advertisements in this series, all of which are ap pearing in this paper, interesting his torical facts about heroes of the South are an important feature.
