Page 3 Remarks of Kelly M. Alexander October 13, 1960
nation into the very presence of a holy and righteous, but always
merciful God. Because their message was based on the revealed will of
the Eternal, their insights had eternal value. So too, Jesus addressed
himself to the people and to life situations of his own day.
The truths he taught and lived were grounded in eternity and have present
and eternal value. Even though we see but as in a glass darkly, we too
are witnesses unto God. As such, we are called upon, as individuals and
as Christian leaders, to bear testimony to the will and the purpose of
God as they are made known to us and as they relate themselves to the life:
of each individual and to human society asrsuch.
Let us not nullify the efforts of our leader who have won the support and
respect of people everywhere. Let us not be one of those who say, "We
believe in the same objectives as the NAACP but the end result should be
attained in another way," Usually, such people offer no program toward
liberty and freedom and they place themselves in the position of defending
segregation, the very antithesis of democracy. You cannot have a thing
and dispose of it at the same time.
If you love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself
and if you know that God speaks to you, I know you will be faithful by
being a vital factor in developing a genuine Christian democracy in North
Carolina. If you value freedom and democracy, if you love your religion,
stay in the fight against discrimination and segregation.
May you have Divine Guidance and vision as you carry out your intentions
on this day. Thank you so much.
