Ill. and wrote the county Library there to try and trace any of their whereabouts, but evidently all had moved away, as the Swann name was not familiar. Believe I also had the 1850 census read as that gives more information than others, but mo luck about that either. A Mre. Swann from thicago sent me a lot of material about the Penn’. Swanns who came over about 1715. Two of the sons, namelys Jospph and Moses mi ated down to Mecklenburg Co. N. C. and there many of then" 1800 & 1810 census. They could have been our ancestors, but I lack the connecting link 50 to speak. There was a John Swann from Kowan in 1772 who bought land in Lincoln Co. N.C. so he might have belonged too. I notice the county lines varied « great deal in the early days. Believe some of the Mecklenburg Co. Swanns even went over into South Carolina also. The Joseph Swann is the Same one who married Keziah Porter that you have information about, so they all seem connected in some Way. I keep plugging away, so if you run across anything of interest I'll be glad to have it and thanks again.

Parishes, Not Counties In Louisiana’ local government units are not called counties, as they are elsewhere, but are known as part- ishes. In the seventeenth century, a Spanish provisional governor of Louisiana, OReilly, set up ecclesiastical units in connection with certain administrative districts.

POTEAT In the passing of William Louis Poteat, North Carolina and the South lost an outstanding citizen. His in- terests were broad and varied. His influence was felt in particular in the flelds of education, religion, and pub- lic morals. The North Carolina Academy of Science has sustained a particularly heavy loss. He was one of the found- ers of the Academy, being present at the first preliminary meéting of this body in the State Agricultural Build- ing at Raleigh on March 21, 1902. Here the Academy was organized and Dr. Poteat was elected as its first president. He presided at the first annual meeting for the presentation of papers, which was held at Trinity College, Durham, November 28 and 29, 1902. At this meeting the sub- ject of his presidential address was “Seience and Life.’’ During the thirty-six years of his membership in the Academy, he presented various papers both on specific subjects and broad general ones. His particular interest was in the Thallophyta, in- cluding both Algae and Fungi. In the field of education Dr. Po- teat’s influence was.felt throughout the South. One of his outstanding contributions was made in respect to academic freedom. The courageous stand that he took throughout many years was one of the main factors in the maintenance of this cardinal] prin- ciple. The colleges and universities of North Carolina in pa owe him a lasting debt of gratitude for the, freedom of teaching that they now enjoy. Asa teacher Dr. Poteat was. unique. From the information at hand it seems that he was the first teacher in the South to give organized labora- tory work to classes of students. He served as assistant professor of biol- ogy at Wake Forest College from 1880 to 1883, and as professor of biology from 1883 to 1938. During the period of his service he awakened and stimulated the interest of his students in the study of nature. He was a natural teacher, attracting and holding the admiration and respect of all who came in contact with him either in the classroom or outside of it. As president of Wake Forest Col- lege from 1905 to 1927, he exerted a powerful influence upon the develop- ment of higher education in the State. In recognition of his worth many academic honors were conferred upon him by outstanding universities. In the field of religion Dr. Poteat’s influence was felt deeply. He always insisted that science and religion were entirely compatible; that if any incompatibility appeared to exist, it was because of an incomplete under- standing and lack of appreciation of either science or religion, or both. He combined the two in his teaching, strengthening the one by the other. His pre-eminence in the religious world was emphasized by his selec- tion by the University of North Caro- lina to give in 1925 a series of lec- tures under the McNair Foundation. These lectures were published in book form under the title, “Can a Man Be a Christian Today?” As one of the leaders. in religious affairs in the State and the South, he wielded strong influence for approximately 4g half century. He was elected presi- dent of the North Carolina State Bap- tist Convention in 1937. In addition to. his principal inter- ests, namely, religion and education, Dr. Poteat took an active interest in state affairs in respect to temperance, | | and international affairs in respect to peace, having published a book on each subject, ‘Spotlight’ and ‘‘The New Peace.”’ Our friend and co-worker was born October 20, 1856, in Caswell County, near Yanceyville. He died at his home in Wake Forest, March 12, 1938, departing this life in a gentle and peaceful manner, as he had lived for eighty-one years. With his departure, the fields of. religion and education and the State lost a valuabie friend. To his family, the North Carolina Academy of Science extends its deep- est sympathy, and makes present ac- knowledgment of its own deep loss. The Academy directs that this state- ment be spread upon its minutes and that the secretary transmit a copy to the bereaved family. Q. 8. BLACK, W. C. COKER, O. C. BRADBURY, Committee. DUE. 76 pe I?

It is precisely these relations, personal, class, racial, international, that Christ proposes to rule and bless, through the social units whom He controls. The province of culture likewise belongs to Him. Letters, art, history, science, philosophy, are His radiant ministers, when He wins the men who cultivate them. All are Christ’s by right of intellectual. and spiritual sovereignty. He will redeem them all But His banners do not yet fly over all His ter ritory. A great part of it is yet to be occupied. It is our task to establish His mastery over all, to infuse His spirit into all, to exact tribute from all for His purpose of universal redemption. This year we are celebrating the hundredth an- niversary of the organization of the Convention and recalling its achievements. The membership of the churches has grown from 15,000 to 632,- 000, the churches from 272 to 2300, contributions from $220.62 to $795,797 a year, which with local church expenses amounts to $3,000,000, and property from, say, $250,000 to $32,000,000. In the first decade Wake Forest College and the Biblical Recorder were established and were im- portant factors in this expansion. But our success is now our embarrassment. In our enthusiasm we felt we must have more mis- sionaries here and yonder, more schools and bet- ter, more equipment for social service. With this enlargement accomplished and effective all but suddenly we discover denominational enthusiasm cooling down, sixty per cent of our membership still indifferent to the call of the Kingdom, doing nothing, and our developed enterprises languish- ing, weights not wings. How, now? Shall we surrender because we are embarrassed? A marshal of France on the ‘eve of battle found himself trembling violently in the presence of his staff. He turned on his frightened body with the words, ‘‘Tremble, body; you would tremble more if you knew into what I am going to take you now.”’ Heaven help us, we shall not take counsel of our fears. Our indiscretions are not our fate. Difficulties are a challenge to the strong. Shall we not take hold where we let go, and all of us take hold? PULLEN MEMORIAL CH RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA The Pullen Memortal Baptist _ Church began its career with both a different name and location from What it now ig known by. Founded in 1880 and worshipping first at Fayetteville Crossing, and called the Third Baptist Chureh, it moved in 1893 up to the corner of Fayetteville and South Streets where it was known as the Fayetteville Street Bap- tist Church. In 1918 its hame was changed to the Pullen Memorial Bap- ——tist Church in memory and honor of John T. Pullen, who had long been ts leading spirit and inspiration. In ~1918 the church moved to West Ral- igh in response to what appeared 0 be a growing challenge in that art of the city, and for four years vorshipped in Pullen Hall of State ‘Ollege. Thig removal to West Ral- igh was Precipitated by the burning * oa DR. H. M. POTRAT Dr. EK. McNeill Poteat, Jr., pastor of Pullen Me morial Church, Raleigh, delivered an address, “Roger Williams and the Crisis of Freedom” (an abstract of which appears on page 4) at the Roger Williams Tercentenary. On this page he makes some striking comments on the celebration. RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND LIBERTY E. McNEILL POTEAT The True Fruits of the Spirit Pastor Pullen Memorial Church By E.

He read an excellent paper, but the fact of his being there was much more impres- sive. His father, the late Oscar Strauss, million- aire merchant of New York, and biographer of Roger Williams, had his first forma] religious in- struction — we were told — in a country Baptist Church in Georgia, just after the war. His soul was stirred as he heard of the heroic Roger Wil- liams, whose life he made the subject of a life long study, and after whom his oldest son was named. That the important celebration of the thre hun dredth anniversary of the Apostle of Religious Lib- erty should have been commemorated in a Baptist church with a stirring address by a New York Jew was a testimony to the validity and vitality of the struggle Roger Williams waged three Cen- turies ago. And that there was the heartiest fe] lowship with and warmest appreciation of the speaker and his lovely wife and the testimony they brought was the most convincing possible proof that religious tolerance and religious liberty are true fruits of the Spirit. No more marked case has come within recent observation which attests to the fact that some of the things we stand for are of more importance than the things we say about them. WHAT “ALEX” SAYS M. O.

PULLEN MEMORIAL CHURCH RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA The Pullen Memorial Baptist Church began its career with both a different name and location from what it now is known by. Founded in 1880 and worshipping first at Fayetteville Crossing, and called the Third Baptist Church, it moved in 1893 up to the cornep of Fayetteville and South Streets where it was known as the Fayetteville Street Bap- tist Church. In 1913 its name was changed to the Pullen Memoria] Bap- —tist Church in memory and honor of John T. Pullen, who had long been ts leading spirit and inspiration. In ~1918 the church moved to West Ral- igh in response to what appeared Oo be a growing challenge in that art of the city, and for four years vorshipped in Pullen Hall of State ‘ollege. This removal to West Ral- igh was Precipitated by the burning E. McNEILL POTEAT Pastor Pullen Memorial. Ohurch of the church house at Fayetteville and South Streets. In 1923, under the leadership of Dr. J. A. Blilis,: the Sunday-school unit of a complete church plant was erected on the corner of Hillsboro and Cox Streets. This site and initia) unit of construction are the begin- nings only of what ig hoped will be- come a thoroughly up-to-date ehurch plant in West Raleigh. The present membership is slightly more than four hundred, and the present pastor is E. McNeill Poteat, Jr. Aside from its local interests, it may be said to major in its student work, State Col- lege and Meredith being nearby.

McNeill Poteat, Jr., pastor of Pullen Me- morial Church, Raleigh, delivered an address, “Roger Williams and the Crisis of Freedom” (an abstract of which appears on page 4) at the Roger Williams Tercentenary. On this page he makes some striking comments on the celebration. RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE AND LIBERTY The True Fruits of the Spirit By E. McNeill Poteat, Jr. It not infrequently happens that an occasion provides features more. significant than the speeches that are on the formal program. In the group that gthered at the statue of Roger Wil liams in the Hall of Fame in the National Capitol on Friday, October 18, at 4:30 were notable fig- ures. The ex-governor of Rhode Island, a mem- ber of the First Baptist Church of Providence, placed the wreath on the marble figure of the patriot and made an appropriate address. In the banquet hall at the National Memoria] Baptist Church at six, there were other distinguished peo- ple: three ex-governors—all of them Baptists sat at the speakers’ table, and representatives of important Baptist groups and societies were intro- duced to the crowd. But by all odds the most significant feature was the address on ‘‘Religious Tolerance, the Barome- ter of Civilization,” by Roger Williams Strauss, of New York. He read an excellent paper, but the fact of his being there was much more impres- sive. His father, the late Oscar Strauss, million- aire. merchant of New York, and biographer of Roger Williams, had his first formal religious in- struction — we were told —in a country Baptist Church in Georgia, just after the war. His soul was stirred as he heard of the heroic Roger Wil liams, whose life he made the subject of a life- long study, and after whom his oldest son was named. That the important celebration of the three hun- dredth anniversary of the Apostle of Religious Lib- erty should have been commemorated in a Baptist church with a stirring address by a New York Jew was a testimony to the validity and vitality of the struggle Roger Williams waged three cen- turies ago. And that there was the heartiest fel- lowship with and warmest appreciation of the speaker and his lovely wife and the testimony they brought was the most convincing possible proof that religious tolerance and religious liberty are true fruits of the Spirit. : No more marked case has come within recent observation which attests to the fact that some of the things we stand for are of more importance than the things we say about them.

After a week spent in the Brier Creek and Alex- ander associations, he Says that he has not been more cordially received anywhere.

May 25, 1954 Dear Mr. Swann: My thanks for your constructive and thoughtful letter. And my thanks, too, for your kind comment on the broadcast, As to taking the poll you suggest as to how the colored people feel about this matter: Apparently that has already been answered so far as the NAACP is concerned and that organization is out, as it announced following the meeting in Atlanta the past week end, to wipe out segregation and fast, _It has announced it does not plan to wait for the Supreme Court to hear more argument in October, It is going to attack by next fall and at the lecal school board level. I agree with you that the Negro people---or most of them-—-take a great pride in their schools and most of them very probably would like to see them cogtimed, But they haven't a chance, NAACP radicals have the bit in their teeth and they are out to wipe out all of segregation, Again my thanks for your letter. Sincerely, : Dr, Nelson seems to be getting along pretty well, He is @till allowed no visitors, He wanted us t- bring his mil over and as he looked through it he dictated a little bit to me, He seems real jolly tut is so weak that he doesn't like to sit up, They plan to give hima pretty thorough examination tomorrow and maybe they will be able to determine the trouble, We were out at the farm last night for a little while, Just about dark I thought sure a tornado was going’ to hit us. It was undoubtedly the strangest looking cloud that I have ever laid eyes on, You could see the clouds swirling but maybe it was a tornado in the sky if there is such a thing, The wind didn't do mch damage out there although trees were broken and lights were off in tow for a while, : We hope you are both feeling good, At-€ / Arsied, v Jt ah Leena Plea Pita CLLR aL.
