Some Of History
Ought Not Repeat
Bryan Bradbury, Abilene at-
torney and church lay leader,
disagreed with the old saying
that "history repeats itself" as
being totally true, in a lalk here
Thursday night.
He addressed a group of
about 60 men at the First Bap-
tist Church men's brotherhood
monthly banquet.
"It is true that the seasons
follow a pattern and day fol-
lows the night, that in a mea-
sure political and economic
Irer.ds follow given cycles," he
said.
"But it is wrong to think that
man is doomed to make no
progress, to believe that this
generation could not be better
than previous ones, that man
cannot live closer to God with
such succeeding generation.
Bradbury said the present
age is "a challenge to Christ-
ians and our institutions to So
change personality that some
things in history will not keep
repeating themselves."
President Ardis Gaither* was
in charge of the meeting and
Audrey Bailew introduced the
speaker. Garland Vinson head-
ed the menu committee which
served a state dinner.
