By J. Eufene White Editorial Assistant; Baptist Standard A DALLAS artist has discovered that many exciting dramas of civ­ ilization lie buried in dust-covered tomes on the library shelf, forgot­ ten by the descendents of those whose story is told in the books of history. Erwin M. Hearne Jr., a commercial artist and a member of First Church, Dallas, has completed a series of eight oil paintings bringing to life some of the persons and events which have shaped the destiny of Baptists in America. The series titled "Great Moments In Baptist History," won for the artist the award for the best illustration group of 1963 from the Dallas Advertising Art Association. The Sunday School Board, Nashville, Tenn. was presented an award _of excellence by the art association for the exhibit. Copyril'ht, 1964, Historical Commission, SBC. Erwin M. Hearne, Jr., Artist Hearne's paintings will appear on covers of the noard's 1964 period­ Distributed by Baptist Press icals, and the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine. The sandy-haired artist relates that he became interested in paint- - ing scenes from Baptist history during the last presidential election. Concern over the issue of church-state separation became strong during Fredricksburg, Va., June 4, 1768 the campaign.

"I was convinced that pictures could motivate our people to read a thousand words, or many thousands, in our Baptist histories." Finally he took his idea to J. M. Dawson, whose book on Baptists and the American Republic had so greatly impressed him. ~e present­ ed his idea also to W. A. Criswell, his pastor, and to E. S. James, editor of the Baptist Standard. Encouraged by these men, he went to Nashville, Tenn. in the sum­ mer of 1962 to meet with Davis C. Woolley, executive secretary of the Southern Baptist Historical Commission. He took along several sketches of great moments in Baptist history. The Baptist historian was so impressed that he per5uaded the Sun­ day School Board to eommission Hearne to paint eight pictures for reproduction on the covers of Baptist literature during the third Baptist Jubilee Year of 1964. Each painting is an authentic presentation of the event being depicted. Before the artist touches his brush to the canvas he has read extensively on his subject and has consulted several outstanding Bap­ tist historians. The historians return to Hearne check sheets covering such miriute details as season of the year and time of the day the event took place, description of buildings and countryside, any idiosyncrasy of dress, and anything unusual about. the surroundings.
