TEXT “If the foundations be destroyed, What can the Righteous do? PS. 11:3&#13;
A college sophomore wrote to his dad and asked: “Dad, why should I dig into history and literature and science and sociology when it looks as if I would be pulled into the Army and spend the next important years of my life at war? The fellows here are discouraged – there doesn’t seem to be much chance for a normal life for us. Some are saying “Why try to do our best when the world is going to hell?&#13;
Whether we like it or not this mood is the state of many of us who worship here today. But we must hurry and search the records to see if the situation is at all unique to our generation.&#13;

Dear Mr. Jernagin:&#13;
The following observations, recommendations, and requests is a results of regular conversation with Negro Baptist Chaplains on duty in this Theatre. It has been our good privilege to minister to our fighting men in this distant land, and at times we have enjoyed a rich fellowship together. Almost without exception, our conversation has ended with important speculation as to the future of the Negro-Church, and especially our Baptist Church, inasmuch, as we plan to continue a Baptist ministry. The following observations seem to stand out, and the following recommendations and requests, are in our opinion, one was to counteract, to some degree, the anticipated loss of influence of our Negro Chruch.&#13;
First, the majority of service-men we serve, who have church affiliation, are Baptist.&#13;
Second, the majority of Negro-Chaplains on Active duty are Baptis, and are doing a good job as Chaplains.&#13;
Third, it is our painful observation, that our church is one of the larger protestant bodies in the United States, but is neglecting its responsibility to keep in touch with its communicants in the Army through some type publication. Here we point out the tremendous amount of devotional literature that is sent out indiscriminately by other denominational bodies, while we, as a church allow this method of communion to pass, seemingly without thought.&#13;
Fourth, the returning service-man will need orientation. After many months of regimentation he will need by less respectful of most civilian authority, and will need the counsel of the Church and the minister in making re-adjustment.</text>

Fifth, it is observed that the average soldier will not accept the church is infallible. This fact in itself demands that the church prove itself the champion of the welfare of the total man. As a solider, he has been taught to be practical, life has been undressed of its traditional garments and he thinks in terms of utility. This does not mean that the religious emphasis is lost, but that the religion must be total.&#13;
Sixth, it is our conviction, that the Negro Church will be called on to assist in this great task, and in many instances will be the only channel of expression.&#13;
With the above in mind, we are making the following suggestions, recommendations and request for this year’s convention:&#13;
One, that the program committee will be instructed to have space on the Convention’s program for the discussion of the unique, and important ministry to Servicemen, and to discharged soldiers.&#13;
Second, that a qualified commission be appointed to study the opportunities, advantages, services, and aids offered Veterans, and that this information be sent out to all churches, and ministers in simplified form, so that through service and a complete ministry the church may reclaim its members.&#13;
Third, that the convention will study evangelistical techniques, and sponsor with other churches a “Crusade for Christ.”&#13;
Fourth, that in some way the church will publish some devotional literature to be sent to all chaplains serving with Negro troops.&#13;
Fifth, that some member of this committee, will be given a place on the Conventions program, as some of us will be in the States; for the Convention.&#13;
Finally, this letter is not an indictment of our present leaders, but is a very humble attempt of ours to share our observations and if possible, remedy some of our joint weaknesses. We are aware of the contribution that has been made, and we know that the leaders of our Church are anxious to always render the greater service. It has been our privilege through the church to serve in this capacity, and we hope that these observations will be accepted in the spirit with which they are submitted.</text>

Dear Chaplain Penn:&#13;
The subject matter of your letter of June 5th is not unknown at this Headquarters. You will be glad to hear that very definite steps have been taken. One thousand colored troops are being shipped from the United States during the months of May, June and July. The majority of these will be used as replacements for your men, who are to be shipped back to the United States. You can assure those who come to see you that positive action has been taken, and that replacements are on the way. That ought to be good news for them.&#13;
Obviously, it will take some time for these replacements to arrive here, so it may be three months before they will actually be relieved. If I were assured I would be going home in three months, I do not think I would feel like grumbling.&#13;
I pass this information to you for what it’s worth. Assure your men that their officers and this Headquarters are doing everything to help them, and that they are not “forgotten men”.&#13;
Hoping to meet you in the near future, I remain.&#13;
Cordially yours,&#13;

                    <text>WAR ans SLAVERY. Like Peace and Freedom – they also are of two kinds – spiritual wars and spiritual slavery. Pyhysical war and physical slavery.&#13;
THE GREATEST EFFORTS OF MAN HAS BEEN HIS EFFORT TO SECURW P&amp;F.&#13;
Today statesmen, politicians, and variouzs civic organizations are studying ways and means of establishing and maintaining a peace among the nations of the earth that would guarantee freedom for this generation and generations yet unborn. Christian friends: I do not profess to know the best method for achieving such a peace. Neither would I attempt to say just what organization or machinery that should be set up to gain this objective. But there is one thing that I and you and all of us know with perfect assurance, that is: that we cannot hope to have the peace and freedom that should follow and for which we are longing if the nations of the earth ignore Him who is the Prince of peace and ignore His truth when they sit around the peace table. For He speaks to the nations today as he spoke to men in the yesterdays and will speak to them in the tomorrows “I AM THE TRUTH”. To the earnest seeker after Peace and Freedom He sys “KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL NOT ONLY BRING YOU PEACE BUT THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE&#13;
CHRISTIAN YOUTH OF TODAY ARE BEING CALLED UPON TO ASSUME MORE PLACES OF RESPONSIBILITY THAN YOUTH FORMERLY HAD. To properly fit into the Christ given advancement plan Youth must first KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PEACE AND FREEDOM. HE MUST KNOW (I) SPIRITUAL peace and FREEDOM IS MORE TO BE DESIRED THAN MATERIAL.</text>

                    <text>Education is calculated to free men from the bondage of ignorance so money is suppose to free men from want Enfranchisement is calculated to give political freedom. Only religion gives men spiritual freedom. There is the story of a young man who well educated but had been a slave to contain wicked habit. His pastor and his mother tried to show him that he was a veritable slave to the habit that was costing him his soul. Yet he would not turn to Christ. However one day something happened. Satans hood wink was taken from his eyes and he saw his true condition. He want to his pastor and said to him “Pastor, what can I do? To get out of this sinful habit? I cant get any peace. Tell me Pastor what can I do? The pastor looked at him and quietly said, “It is too late” What, cried the Y.M. Do you mean to tell me that I am too late to be saved? The Pastor said “No, I do not mean that. I simply mean that you are too late to do anything. Christ by His life and death on the cross did all that was necessary 1900 years ago. All you have to do is to believe Himm trust him and obey his teaching. That was a great day in that home. The young man was freed from his sinful habit and for the first time in his life he found peace in his heart and joy in his soul.&#13;
My friends the knowledge of the arts and scences that he learned in Hi. School and College did not free that young man from sin. Nor did they give him the peace in his conscience. It was only when he learned the truth babout the savng power of Jesus Christ that he found Peace and freedom.&#13;

If you will become His disciple, You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The Truth about Criminal Habits of Youth – Story of 2 men at [?].&#13;
Young America should know the truth about the slavish fears that have thrown this world into a shameful, flaming, devastating murderous mass.&#13;
When men believe that their freedom and the freedom to their loved ones are at stake they will take up arms and fight without hesitation.&#13;
So Patrick Henry in 1776, aroused the spirits of Continental Congress with his appeal to arms speech Where he preferred either Liberty or death. After speech men were ready to do and to die fearing the bondage of Britain. The Americans won the material freedom. Did we win the spiritual freedom?&#13;
The Civil War in 1861 answes the question. And answers it in the negative. Four years more we fought among ourselves to determine whether in this country some would be slaves an others free. A most shameful war. On April 6, 1917, President W. Wilson told Congress that a state of war existed between the Imperial German Govt and the U.S. The people were told that we should all fight to make the world safe for democracy. More than 600,000 Young men made the supreme sacrifice and are lying in France or in Flanders field. Is the world safe for Democracy? Did that war end all wars? No, we tried to get peace and freedom not by the Jesus way but by</text>

This time President Roosevelt and Prime minister Churchill worked a magnificent document that satisfied at least for the time being, the people of America and our Allies. “We sre fighting” They say to win four freedoms. Freedom of speech, religion, want and fear. More than 11,000.000 men and women have been called to the colors for this service.

We are fighting to win the war but will we win the peace and the freedom that have been so tactfully drafted as our fighting cause? Not by mifgt of arms or superior forces but by the word and spirit of God alone does the success of freedom and peace rest.</text>

              <text>WAR ans SLAVERY. Like Peace and Freedom – they also are of two kinds – spiritual wars and spiritual slavery. Pyhysical war and physical slavery.&#13;
THE GREATEST EFFORTS OF MAN HAS BEEN HIS EFFORT TO SECURW P&amp;F.&#13;
Today statesmen, politicians, and variouzs civic organizations are studying ways and means of establishing and maintaining a peace among the nations of the earth that would guarantee freedom for this generation and generations yet unborn. Christian friends: I do not profess to know the best method for achieving such a peace. Neither would I attempt to say just what organization or machinery that should be set up to gain this objective. But there is one thing that I and you and all of us know with perfect assurance, that is: that we cannot hope to have the peace and freedom that should follow and for which we are longing if the nations of the earth ignore Him who is the Prince of peace and ignore His truth when they sit around the peace table. For He speaks to the nations today as he spoke to men in the yesterdays and will speak to them in the tomorrows “I AM THE TRUTH”. To the earnest seeker after Peace and Freedom He sys “KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL NOT ONLY BRING YOU PEACE BUT THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE&#13;
CHRISTIAN YOUTH OF TODAY ARE BEING CALLED UPON TO ASSUME MORE PLACES OF RESPONSIBILITY THAN YOUTH FORMERLY HAD. To properly fit into the Christ given advancement plan Youth must first KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT PEACE AND FREEDOM. HE MUST KNOW (I) SPIRITUAL peace and FREEDOM IS MORE TO BE DESIRED THAN MATERIAL.&#13;
Education is calculated to free men from the bondage of ignorance so money is suppose to free men from want Enfranchisement is calculated to give political freedom. Only religion gives men spiritual freedom. There is the story of a young man who well educated but had been a slave to contain wicked habit. His pastor and his mother tried to show him that he was a veritable slave to the habit that was costing him his soul. Yet he would not turn to Christ. However one day something happened. Satans hood wink was taken from his eyes and he saw his true condition. He want to his pastor and said to him “Pastor, what can I do? To get out of this sinful habit? I cant get any peace. Tell me Pastor what can I do? The pastor looked at him and quietly said, “It is too late” What, cried the Y.M. Do you mean to tell me that I am too late to be saved? The Pastor said “No, I do not mean that. I simply mean that you are too late to do anything. Christ by His life and death on the cross did all that was necessary 1900 years ago. All you have to do is to believe Himm trust him and obey his teaching. That was a great day in that home. The young man was freed from his sinful habit and for the first time in his life he found peace in his heart and joy in his soul.&#13;
My friends the knowledge of the arts and scences that he learned in Hi. School and College did not free that young man from sin. Nor did they give him the peace in his conscience. It was only when he learned the truth babout the savng power of Jesus Christ that he found Peace and freedom.&#13;
Today, in free American and in our own city, if you please they are men and women who are as truly slaves as if they were American Negroes before the Emancipation or the Hebrews in Egypt before&#13;
the Passover. and the crossing over the Red Sea. They are physically free but spiritually they are slaves. That same Jesus is speking to you. If you will become His disciple, You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free. The Truth about Criminal Habits of Youth – Story of 2 men at [?].&#13;
Young America should know the truth about the slavish fears that have thrown this world into a shameful, flaming, devastating murderous mass.&#13;
When men believe that their freedom and the freedom to their loved ones are at stake they will take up arms and fight without hesitation.&#13;
So Patrick Henry in 1776, aroused the spirits of Continental Congress with his appeal to arms speech Where he preferred either Liberty or death. After speech men were ready to do and to die fearing the bondage of Britain. The Americans won the material freedom. Did we win the spiritual freedom?&#13;
The Civil War in 1861 answes the question. And answers it in the negative. Four years more we fought among ourselves to determine whether in this country some would be slaves an others free. A most shameful war. On April 6, 1917, President W. Wilson told Congress that a state of war existed between the Imperial German Govt and the U.S. The people were told that we should all fight to make the world safe for democracy. More than 600,000 Young men made the supreme sacrifice and are lying in France or in Flanders field. Is the world safe for Democracy? Did that war end all wars? No, we tried to get peace and freedom not by the Jesus way but by&#13;
Versailes Way, and now we are fighting it all over again. This time President Roosevelt and Prime minister Churchill worked a magnificent document that satisfied at least for the time being, the people of America and our Allies. “We sre fighting” They say to win four freedoms. Freedom of speech, religion, want and fear. More than 11,000.000 men and women have been called to the colors for this service. Industrial Educational buildings and factories have almost overnight been turned into arms, munition and supply plants. We are fighting to win the war but will we win the peace and the freedom that have been so tactfully drafted as our fighting cause? Not by mifgt of arms or superior forces but by the word and spirit of God alone does the success of freedom and peace rest.</text>

This moment[?] I want to speak to us on the source&#13;
This is one of the most perilous periods in the history of our great nation. Our Nation at this very moment is facing a greater peril than it had to face when the Declaration of Independence which touched off the revolutionary war. Let us look [?] back at our history&#13;
At that time ours was not even a constituted country but 13 small colonies located for the most part on the eastern seaboard seeking freedom of speech and worship with an earnest hope that they could conquer their opposers and initiate[?] Self govern men with the colonies uniting as one nation indivisible with freedom and justice for all.&#13;
That was more than 190 years ago. But what has happened since then?&#13;
The colonies have cemented themselves into the United States of America. It is no longer a little strip on the Atlantic Coast but it includes</text>

It has developed its natural resources and built up a commercial trade beyond any country on any other continent and because of its productivity it has grown to be if not the greatest one of the greatest of the worlds forever. In arts invention – education, wealth per capita it stands first. Its power on land on sea and in the air must recognized by all nations.&#13;
Since 1776 – when this nation fought the revolutionary war it has been victorious in wars – The War of 1812, the Mexican war, the shameful Civil War, 1861-65, The Spanish American War, World War I, WW II. In all of these our nation won the final victory.&#13;

I will not attempt to answer that. You know already that a nation reacts to such things as an individual does.&#13;
But for ourselves: Have we allowed our successes and our prosperity to cause us to forget that it is almighty God who has given us these superior advantages?&#13;
Have we forgotten that God requires great America to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God.&#13;
Has national prosperity produce in us pride and arrogance instead of humility and meekness?&#13;
Are our courts merely a Furee[?]? as someone said – where the poor cannot always be assured of justice but where poor innocent is punished but the greatly[?] rich goes free.&#13;

Again I say “we know”. Our Army [?] suffered shameful defeat in South Korea – when we were driven nearly into the sea by the Communist.&#13;
Assuming the greatest part of the Campaign of the United Nations we succeeded in driving the communist beyond the 18th Parallel to the Manchurian borders only to meet with overwhelming numbers of Communists who were well prepared – and succeeded again not only in defeating us but put us in position – diplomatically that we cannot save our face, --- before the world.&#13;
From all appearances – the other powers – do not see us a great nation any longer.&#13;
But it is not so much what the other nations think. It is whether we have the assurance of safety&#13;
In other words are we trusting in him who can save to the utmost? It is not by might nor by power but by the spirit of God that nation can be secured.</text>

                    <text>It is that inner poise that is needed in the whole American life. Last Monday morning I read Billy Graham’s clear cut straight-to-the point remark on ungodliness and disregard for spiritual values. Such a sermon needs to be preached over and over again by us ministers if we could get our people to trust more in the power of God’s spirit and less in in the power of armies and navies and air planes.&#13;
It is not by the power of armies that men are saved but by the spirit of God. Men have yet to learn how to build a life of safety, with people. We do not make friends by fighting them. You don’t win the love of a [?] or nation by defeating them in battle and bringing them under submission no more than you would win the love of a person by physically overpowering him or abusing him or crushing him because you happen to be stronger. Yet that seems to have been the modus of operandi of the world of all ages.</text>

The Source of National Safety.&#13;
Read Zech 4: 1-10&#13;
Text: Zech 4:6-This is the word of the Lord unto Le[?] babel saying “Not by might nor by power, but my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.”&#13;
This moment[?] I want to speak to us on the source&#13;
This is one of the most perilous periods in the history of our great nation. Our Nation at this very moment is facing a greater peril than it had to face when the Declaration of Independence which touched off the revolutionary war. Let us look [?] back at our history&#13;
At that time ours was not even a constituted country but 13 small colonies located for the most part on the eastern seaboard seeking freedom of speech and worship with an earnest hope that they could conquer their opposers and initiate[?] Self govern men with the colonies uniting as one nation indivisible with freedom and justice for all.&#13;
That was more than 190 years ago. But what has happened since then?&#13;
The colonies have cemented themselves into the United States of America. It is no longer a little strip on the Atlantic Coast but it includes&#13;
All the land from the Atlantic on the east to the Pacific on the West, from the Canadian border and the great lakes on the North to the Gulf of Mexico and the Rio Grande on the South Instead of 13 states – 48 states and the Alaska and a protectorate over Puerto Rico and other colonial possessions.&#13;
It has developed its natural resources and built up a commercial trade beyond any country on any other continent and because of its productivity it has grown to be if not the greatest one of the greatest of the worlds forever. In arts invention – education, wealth per capita it stands first. Its power on land on sea and in the air must recognized by all nations.&#13;
Since 1776 – when this nation fought the revolutionary war it has been victorious in wars – The War of 1812, the Mexican war, the shameful Civil War, 1861-65, The Spanish American War, World War I, WW II. In all of these our nation won the final victory.&#13;
What repercussion came[?] or[?] what was the reaction on us as result of these great victories and the phenomenal rise to power and international fame?&#13;
And what would be the natural feeling of other nations –older but not so progressive – as ours toward us when we boastfully flaunt our power before them – or make them appear somewhat small at the conference table? I will not attempt to answer that. You know already that a nation reacts to such things as an individual does.&#13;
But for ourselves: Have we allowed our successes and our prosperity to cause us to forget that it is almighty God who has given us these superior advantages?&#13;
Have we forgotten that God requires great America to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with our God.&#13;
Has national prosperity produce in us pride and arrogance instead of humility and meekness?&#13;
Are our courts merely a Furee[?]? as someone said – where the poor cannot always be assured of justice but where poor innocent is punished but the greatly[?] rich goes free.&#13;
If this picture truthfully [?]&#13;
Practices[?] of our nation. Let us ask ourselves what is the peril that we are facing?&#13;
Again I say “we know”. Our Army [?] suffered shameful defeat in South Korea – when we were driven nearly into the sea by the Communist.&#13;
Assuming the greatest part of the Campaign of the United Nations we succeeded in driving the communist beyond the 18th Parallel to the Manchurian borders only to meet with overwhelming numbers of Communists who were well prepared – and succeeded again not only in defeating us but put us in position – diplomatically that we cannot save our face, --- before the world.&#13;
From all appearances – the other powers – do not see us a great nation any longer.&#13;
But it is not so much what the other nations think. It is whether we have the assurance of safety&#13;
In other words are we trusting in him who can save to the utmost? It is not by might nor by power but by the spirit of God that nation can be secured.&#13;
It is that inner poise that is needed in the whole American life. Last Monday morning I read Billy Graham’s clear cut straight-to-the point remark on ungodliness and disregard for spiritual values. Such a sermon needs to be preached over and over again by us ministers if we could get our people to trust more in the power of God’s spirit and less in in the power of armies and navies and air planes.&#13;
It is not by the power of armies that men are saved but by the spirit of God. Men have yet to learn how to build a life of safety, with people. We do not make friends by fighting them. You don’t win the love of a [?] or nation by defeating them in battle and bringing them under submission no more than you would win the love of a person by physically overpowering him or abusing him or crushing him because you happen to be stronger. Yet that seems to have been the modus of operandi of the world of all ages.&#13;
We struggle to make our selves strong and powerful but having no inner poise or godly spiritual calm, we misuse our powers. Too many of us lack that spiritual calm that gives direction and guidance to whatever power that we have.&#13;
The peril that confronts America has another angle that intensifies it. It is what we might call the nerve shattering element. We use to think that only the large cities were nerve shattering – This is no longer true – The [?] and other [?] of steel, on subway trains and e[?] – trucks and cars are merely the visible cause of outer confusion – But the mental confusion – the clashing of thoughts, ideas, attitudes, may be found along with some noises in almost any city or town nowaday. So what have we – a strained – overtaxed type of human living – shattered nerves – tangled lives, broken homes, hospitals and sanitariums overflowing while physicians and psychiatrists are overworked. In fact – someone said we seem to know everything about life except how to live it.&#13;
With this nerve shattering element added to the perils of human control and ungodliness failing a powerful foe – and losing all of our friends who&#13;
Were retained only by our nerves[?] gifts of money and food.&#13;
Can we imagine a greater peril? Have we ever been so lonely in need of an ally. Perhaps not humanly speaking.&#13;
But let us turn to the Christian Church in America. God in the midst of her. We will hear what God the Lord will speak. He will speak peace unto his people.&#13;
