Union Baptist Hears Stone: 5th Dist. Program
Speaking on "Christ and the World" at Union Baptist Church Sunday following Sunday School, the pastor Rev. H. Stone spoke [of the] world that is cursed by segregation, hypocrisy, class distinction issues, race hate, murder, discrimination, injustices and unequal opportunities on every side. [Men] need the gospel of Jesus Christ. We [are] to preach the gospel the Christ's way in dealing with men in the establishment of a righteous living order.
The story of the rise of any nation, race or people can be read upon the sand; their failure to walk with God. The fall of any nation, race of people can be seen upon the head of their selfishness and disregard for walking with God.
