MISS ALICK MMiAN WIMiO BAPTISTS HEAR GEORGE LUTE Missionary Service Is Topic Of Richmond, Man RIDOIXREST, Aug. 7. (Special) "Thu permanency ol missionary service depends on our love for Jesus Christ." declared the Rev.

Dr. George Walte, executive secretary, Stote Baptist convention, Richmond, Va who spoke Wednesday night before i the suite and Home Mission confer- 1 ence at Rldgecrest, Southern Baptist summer assembly "There must be more active and sacrificial love for Jesus Christ in our missionary enterprises," he said. "Instead of being indifferent and careless we should have a warm enthusiasm and a high zcul for the proachlng of the Christian Gospel tn our state and home fields. There should be no distinction between state, home, and foreign missions. "Foreign missions la not the only task for Southern Baptists.

Distances in our missionary work lend an enchantment somehow. We often forget about the people at our doors. The measure of the depth and sincerity of interest in our missions is found in our interest In those persons next door to us In our local community. "We must be busy tn personal evangelism in our own community. This reveals our Interest in state and homo mslslons, Missions Is evangelism extended.

Consider our missionary motives. No act is adequately upprulsed apart from its motive. Man's missionary service Is measured by his motive. Often we resort to glamour and romance as the base of the missionary appeal. "We must continue our interest In giving the Christian Gospel to those who Uo not have it because of our own Hakes.

We must do this first because of the Intrinsic value of human personality. Jcsua Christ saw what man was cafMible of becoming under tho touch of Ood. The only unit of value Is personality. Then there Is tho value of giving tho Christian Gospel to others." Dchart Reunion To Be Held Sunday, Aug. 11 BRYSON CITY, Aug.

Jacob Gartenhaus. first and only Jewish evangelist, of tho home mission board of the Southern Baptist convention, Atlanta, who is a visitor at Ridge-crest, Southern Baptist summer assembly grounds. Mr. Gartenhaus toured Germany last year to study tho problems of tho Jews and gather Urn hand Information and observations. He wus In close touch with the religious and political leaders of Germany and Interviewed principal figures of both sides of the Jewish controversy.

Hp declared the su tiering of his people is not exaggerated. While the Jews are not bent); killed as some have thought, Mr. Oartcuhaus continued, they have been humiliated and made to feel they are unwanted gueHtA, This Is worse, he said, than ever being killed, "Woo unto the nation that lifts tho hand of scoru and persecution amiinst Israel, for surely a curse will come to it." lie said. "For that was God's promise to Abraham. History bears out this truth for even single nations beginning with Egypt alt the way down to Russia which have scorned and persecuted the Jews have suffered.

Cursed of Ood, these nations paid the price." (ierinaii Leaders He contucted Intimately tho political and religious leaders of Germany both of his own people and the Germans. "If what the Germans claim true," he ld, "namely, that one per cent of the Jew. control the Important phases of activity such a.s biif-lfliess, education, and professional life, then the Jews must be the super-human people and not the Germans." Mr. Gartenhaus was reluctant to tell more about the Jewish situation In Germany. He is a native of Austria.

All of his people now reside In Palestine. He came to the United States in early manhood. When he was three years old, hia parents dedicated him to become a rabbi, But when he came to the United States, his search lor truth led htm to an acknowledgement of the Jesus of Nanureth, as tho Messiah or his people and as the only Savior and hope or the world. He felt the inner urge to tell the good news to others, so he attended the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. HI and wus graduated from he southern Baptist Theological seminary, Louisville, with the master of theology degree In 1021.

Mr. Gartenhaus immediately accepted the call or the home mission board of tho Southern Baptist convention, Atlanta. irst Jew Uli KwiiikcIM He took charge of a new deportment und became the first and only Jewish evangelist of the Southern Baptist convention. Idr. Gartenhaus ho.s had remarkable success In his work.

He said the purpose ol hlfc work is to bring about a bettor undemanding nnd appreciation be-iwetm Chrtstluna und Jews. Mr. GartenhauB dwelt at length on the debt that ChriBllauB owe to his people. He mentioned the Bible, the prophets, the tho apostles, and tho Savior Himself, all of whom cauiu lroin his own people. Paul, the tlrst foreign missionary, was a Jew.

Ho considers it a mistake to say that the Jews rejected Jesus Christ. According to tho New Tostument, he suld, the Jews were tho only ones 10 believe in HUn during His earthly ministry. The 12 apostles, tho 70 that, the Suvlor sent out, the 120 who niei in the upper room, and the 3,000 at Pentecost, as well as the great multitude which enmo dally to Jesus Christ, were all sons and daughters of Israel, Mr. Gartenhaus said. "Even today it Is not true that the Jews reject Jesus Christ.

Thoy don't know enough of Him lo reject Hun. Tho Chrlsi they reject Is the Christ of history In whose name my people hnve suilered untold persecutions. But when the Jew cornea to know the Chrlsi ol tho New Testament, they come to love and appreciate Hun. More Jews have accepted Jesus Christ in the past 20 years than in any too years preceding," He pointed out thai an outstanding inaguylno related that no less than 200 rabblii have embraced the Savior in recent years. Mr.

ttarten-huus does not like to be called converted Jew. "A Jew." ho continued, "docs not change when he einbruces Jesus Christ. Completes Mb Faith "He does not give up his fnlth. The Jew completes It, for Jesus Christ is the completion or all the hopes and aspiration or the people. The command or David Is the cherished hope of Israel." Mr.

Gartonhnus mentioned that Benjamin Disraeli, former piune mlnitter of Kngiaml. was once taunted and called a converted Jew, but he replied to those who ridiculed him lhat he was not a converted Jew but a completed Jew, or a Christian Jew. Mr. I arienliaus lias written inter eMlng pamphlets, the latest ot which is entitled 'The Jew nnd Jesus." He lelis the attitude, ancient and modern, of the Jew toward Jesus ol Niiiueth.

She Is especially Impressed by the friendliness of the mountains. Miss Wingo, who has truveled and studied in Europe, said the mountains here remind her of the Swiss Alps. Miss WIiiko has built a homo, "Cedar Chest." on Virginia road here. She spends her summers here and plans to live In Montrent permanently upon her retirement. Miss Wingo is a native of Spartanburg, S.

c. Her father, William J. Wlngo was for 40 yems a merchant In that city. Her mother was Adeline Jackson, whose ancestors, the Jackson, Carrutlia, and Logans, were connected with the Colonial and Revolutionary history or North and South Carolina (iraiitiufed At She studied two years at Converse collet; in Spartanburg, She received her A. B.

and A. M. degrees from Eifcklno college. Due Wut, S. C.

for 40 years she has taught school. Her early yearn as teacher were spent In South Carolina and Virginia. Then tho served as dean of women in Drury college, Springfield, Mo. For tho past 18 years she has been dean of women ai Berry schools, where Is closely associated with Miss Martha Berry. Miss Wingo.

besides being dean of women, teaches in the English department, her special interest being Shakespeare. Berry honored her with a silver loving cup at tho 1934 commencement in recognition of her services and unselfishness devotion to Berry schools for 17 years, Tho entire girls' school la housed In fine buildings which wero given by Henry Kord. There are 1,000 students at the Berry schools, most of them workl ng their way through. The school Is never closed the year around. Pour hundred boys nnd girls now are working for their tuition for next year.

The schools have many celebrated visitors. When September comes, Miss Wingo is always eaer to get back to the schools especially to her college class in Shakespeare, which is becoming more and more her scholastic hobby. In a recently published article, the president of one of the great cluster colleges charges the students uf this generation with a total lack of Intellectual curiosity, no eagerness, no enthusiasm. Miss Wlngo has not found this altogether true. She has a suspicion that Pope and the Victorian poets are sometimes "token" mainly for so many credits a semester but with Shakoapeare It is different.

She feels the Southern Anglo-Saxon boys and girls know that Shakespeare Is talking about, and young peopfe are Miss Wlngo's major Interests, her profession. Wiih trlend nt.

Miss Wlngo has a locture on "Sidney Lanier, tho Sir Galahad of American poets." which she gives beforo clubs.

Her personal acquaintance with Mrs. Lanier gives the talk, an Intimate contact. When looking for ft place to retire. Miss Wingo could find none so lovely as Mon (rent. Besides the beauty of the friendly mountains, the community spirit attracted her.
