CROSS
Volume 23

(%) OMMENTS
‘é” ON
mt'(»;.;’” A HERE AND
s HEREAFTER,
In the fifteenth chapter of the
Apostles, we read that there
were certain men from Judea
who tried to stir up strife among
a group of Christians by insists
ing that these Christians be
circumcised after the manner of
Moses. According to the report
there was much dissension
among the brethern. How up to
date this story is! It has been
the writer's privilege to contact
religious groups throughout
America and also in a number of
toreign countries. The orthodox
groups agree on all the funda
mentals. They believe the Bible
is the Word of God They believe
thst Jesus Christ is the Son of
God, and that He died on the
Cross for the sins of the world,
and that He rose again from the
dead. These orthodox Christians
everywhere believe in the neces
sity of the new birth. Yet, many
of these Christians refuse to have
fellowship with each other bes
cause they disagreeabout matter
which, in the strictest sense, are
not fundamental.
The writer is a fundamentalist.
He believes that modernism and
fundamentalism are so diametri
cally opposed to each other that
it is impossible to bring them
together. The modernist says
that the Bible contains th: word
of God. The fundawentalist says
that it 1s the word of God. Both
can not be right. There isno
middle ground. No man can be
neutral, The orthodox Christians
should unite in testimony and in
service. The mcderni:ts ouy b to
be able to get together. The
writer has built an orthodex|
college and operated it for nine |
years. It is built on the ove idea
that whatever the Bible saysis
go. In this college therc are
Methodist, Baptist, Presbyteri~
ans, Disciples, Episcopalians,
and other Christians united in
the faculty and the student bedy.
They live together harmoniously.
and the denominational intergity
of each student is preserved.
The Bob Jones College in Cleve
"r;fl, Tenunessee, is daily de mnmg
siration of the fact that evange~ ’
lical, orthodox Christians can
agree on certain fundamentals
and can work together harmoni« |
ously without sacrificing a Chris-l
tian conviction. There is no use
to say that is can not be done; it
is being done. If you do not be

Washington, Oct. 28.—Presi~
dent Roosevelt arranged today
to attend a ‘‘homecoming’’ celes
bration at Atlanta, Georgia, on
November 29.

sional delegation.

REV. FLANDERS ,
Below we publish reply of Rev
M. W. Flanders, local pastor of
Methodist church to President
Roosevelt’s inqury as to con
ditions existing in territory over
which the clergy of the nation
come in personal contact and a
candid report asked of the con
ditions as they find them:
Alamo, Georgia,
October 29, 1935
Prasident F'. D. Roosevelt,
Washington, D. C.
Honorable and Dear Sir:
Tu answer to your letter of last
month, asking ministers for
council and advice, I canonly
tell you aboutconditions existing
among people with whom I live
and serve, Os covrse [ am inter
ested in the moral, spiritual,
physical and financial welfare of
the people of our great country.
I think you could have been
weli advised long ago concern.
ing some things that have proven
very detrimental to our people
which I belieye could have been
averted, I believe that with your
ability and influence some things
mway yet be corrected.
First: Your idea of our nation
drinking itself back to health
and prosperity seems to beall
“wet”. Wealth may be going into
the hands of the brewers and bar
keepers at the expense of the
very ones who need help and aid.
Automobile manufactures and
mechinics, casket factories and‘
the medical profession may bel
realizing profit because ol
wrecks, death and physical sufs
sering while the many faces are
being bathed with tears because
of drunkness. Great and good
men worked and prayed for
temperence that this administra-~
tion defeated.
Second: The AAA, promised
many good things such as 12 or
15 centcotton if the farmer voted |
for the Bankhead Act. The little
farmer’s family is experiencing
homeless suffering while the
richer farmers are riding in the|
saddle, The purpose was good
but, is it right for one man to
have four and five bales of cotton
per mule tax free while another
just across a fence or land line
has less than one? Having no
money to pay their church obli~
gations many farmers gave
cotton which we had to buy gin
tickets to the amount of more
than SBO.OO to market. Is it right
for the Church to be taxedin
that way?
Let’s ask for an equal right
and showing for the poor. Let
them have as many acres as are
given the richer land owners
and see what they produce. I
believe their children will not
have to go to school and church
half naked and hungry. This is
only fair.
Third: I think your policy of |
the doles is demorclizing and is‘
breaking down self-respect to no
little extet. Honest pay for an
honest days work is always re
freshing to good conduct and
self-respect
Fourth: I believe the God of
our fathers and mothers is still
God of the American people and
as He led Israel and our lore‘
fathers out of many perils when
|they trusted him, He will also
lead America outof her spiritual,
| moral and financial plight when
the present administration stops
emphasizing prosperity above
| the spiritual. When the very soul
of America is sayed then all is
| well.
Believing your intentions are
