Racists in the Military:
The NAACP Challenge
The first chore facing the newly-
selected NAACP executive direc-
tor can actually begin while he is
still a member of Congress.
Congress and the Pentagon must
immediately and thoroughly in-
vestigate the Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, murders of a Black
~ couple by white supremacist sol-
diers, and Rev. Kweisi Mfume (D-
Md), can combine his roles as a
member of Congress and as the
designated leader of the nation Ts
oldest civil rights group in the pro-
cess. At the same time, this is the
kind of case that is tailor-made for
the NAACP Ts independent per-
spective, if it will face the chal-
lenge.
The tragedy of the senseless
murder ofan innocent Black couple
by White, race-hating members of
the 82nd Airborne Division is in-
deed dwarfed by the history of
open racism in the U.S. military
from the inception of this nation,
right up to this very minute! Dur-
ing the last decade and a half,
racism has flourished in the soci-
ety asa whole. Racism is rampant
on the airwaves of conservative
talk radio hosts Bob Grant and
Jay Diamond in New York, and
can be heard implicit in the com-
ments of nationally syndicated talk
show hosts Rush Limbaugh, G.
Gordon Liddy and Oliver North.
Racism has flourished on col-
lege campuses, in the workplace,
in the legislatures and in the courts
where affirmative action has been

oDrum Major for Justice ?
Nation of Islam to appeal
court Ts dismissal of
lawsuit against Post
A libel lawsuit filed by Minister
Louis Farrakhan against the New
York Post was dismissed Decem-
ber 19 by ajudge who ruled that no
proof of malice was shown by the
newspaper's reports on the Mus-
lim leader.
Farrakhan sued the Post and
columnist Jack Newfield follow-
inga March 12, 1995 column which
characterized words of Dr. Betty
Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, to
appear as an accusation that
~arrakhan is guilty of her
husband Ts murder. Newfield Ts col-
umn appeared under the headline
oWidow pins Malcolm X Murder
on Farrakhan, ? and was based on
an NBC interview which aired the
next day.
In her decision, New York State
Supreme Court Justice Carol
Arber said Farrakhan had to show
oactual malice ? or oreckless disre-
gard for the truth ? to proceed with
the lawsuit.
Arber said she was dismissing
the suit because no evidence was
shown oof actual malice or any
facts from which it could be con-
cluded that the defendants acted
with reckless disregard of the
truth. ?
Nation of Islam attorneys Ava
Muhammad and Abdul
Muhammad issued the following
statement: oSince the very begin-
ning of this action, the New York
Post has admitted, through its at-

torneys, that it printed defamatory
statements concerning Min. Louis
Farrakhan. We, in turn, made a
clear record of the motive and in-
tent behind the stories. The gov-
ernment planned to destroy Min.
Farrakhan Ts credibility in the
Black community, subjecting him
to injury and even death, or to
arrest and indict him for the mur-
der of Malcolm X. The underlying
objective was (and is) to deprive
the Black community of its only
independent and effective leader-
ship.
oWe have not received a copy of
Judge Arber Ts decision. If the ba-
sis for the dismissal is that we
have ~failed to establish any evi-
dence of actual malice, T tehn such
conclusions are completely erro-
neous as a matter of law. The deci-
sion is outrageous and flies in the
face of overwhelming proof of mal-
ice on the part of the New York
Post, its publishers and agents.
We will file an immediate appeal.
oWe submitted videotapes,
books, newspaper articles, docu-
ments from law enforcement agen-
cies, even an affidavit from the
late attorney William Kunstler, to
provide the court with a complete
history of the circumstances and
events surrounding the assassi-
nation of Malcolm X. We made a
clear record demonstrating the fact
that the New York Post consciously
and deliberately deviated from the
truth when it printed the
defamatory headlines: ~Widow of
Malcolm X fingers Farrakhan T and
~Widow pins Malcolm X murder on
Farrakhan. T
oFurther, under New York law,
the act of charging an individual
with conduct which constitutes a
crime, is deemed to be defamatory
on its face. Also, we have not yet
been afforded the opportunity to
engage in the discovery process, to
take depositions from writer, Jack
Newfield, or the individuals he
quoted.
oThis is the same judge who
nearly one year ago, ordered Min.
Farrakhan to submit to a deposi-
tion; now, after the Post attorneys
have introduced reports by the
Anti-Defamations League into the
record, she suddenly finds the case
to be without merit. We cannot
permit the leader of the Nation of
Islam to be maligned and vilified.
oAs Min. Farrakhan has stated,
he is a man walking in the foot-
steps of Jesus. Aman unwilling to
compromise and bend, The en-
emies of Jesus were the scribes
(media), We believe it is thé will of
Allah (God) and His messenger
that we obtain justice. We will
fight until the victory is ours. ?

Biography of Debra
Ann Dixon Trahan
DEBRA AN N DIXON
TRAHAN
Although a native New Yorker,
Debra Ann Dixon Trahan, 31 years
of age, was raised a large portion
of her life in North Carolina. She is
the sixth child and the second
daughter born to District Elder
Alfred Dixon and Mother
Constance Dixon.
North Carolina is where most of
her early education began. She
was baptized in the name oLord
Jesus Christ ? and received the gift
of the Holy Ghost at the tender age
of five. She and her seven brothers
and sisters were filled with the
Holy Ghost and began their music
ministerial experience at The
Bibleway Holiness Church of Our
Lord Jesus Christ, of the Apostolic
Faith Inc., where her father was
Pastor.
She was the 1 st soprano voice
that was talented even as a small
child. Often times she traveled
with her father when he evange-
lized, singing the altar calls and
compelling men and women to
come to the Lord through song.
Though small in stature, she was
__blessed with a big Yoice.
Debra along with her brothers
and sisters would sing the praises
j of God in the group called oThe
Gospel Troubadours. ? A name
given them by their mother. They
traveled extensively with their dad
and mom lifting up the name of
Jesus, encouraging souls through
the beautiful blending together of
their unique harmony.
Her father was called to another
part of the vineyard and moved to
Trenton, New Jersey, where Debra
not only graduated from Trenton
Central High School with honors,
but received a Visual Arts scholar-
ship to one college of her choice.
She became the lead singer on her
very first album recorded along
with the Trenton Central High
School Gospel Choir, and led the
title song oThe Victory. ?
Debra, the shy introvert, blos-
somed into a beautifully anointed
young teenager, who became ag-
gressive in the music ministry and
service of the Lord. As a result of
her life and testimony, many young
people were drawn to Christ and
received the gift of the Holy ghost.
Debra and her sister, Cathy,
were the youngest Junior Mission-
aries to ever become licensed So-
cial Missionaries in the history of
The Church of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, but it was their outstand-
ing achievement in soul winning,
alter work and faithfulness that
elevated them to the office of So-
cial Missionary recommended by
her Pastor, Mother Gurtrude
Frazier and Mother Pandora Wil-
liams, former and present Presi-
dents of the International Mission-
ary Department of The Churches
of Our Lord Jesus Christ,

lege of Art where she concentrated

there has been an unabated cess-
pool of race hate within the ranks

performance in uniform "not ra-

terion for evaluation and advance-

__ FortBragg: a young man, a Desert.
Storm-era veteran who was sta-
tioned there recently, told this
writer that he routinely saw Ku
Klux Klan recruiting literature
and meeting announcements on
the base. Why didn Tt officials take
notice before?
The race-haters were so open,
they didn Tt even care if Black sol-
diers knew they were operating
there! They flaunted their pres-
: ence in the face of Blacks! Indeed,
- one of the men accused of this most
recent murder, apparently made
no secret of his White supremacist
views, actually displaying a Nazi
flag over his bed in the barracks
and consorting with other soldiers
in oskinhead ? garb on the base!
As Grand Master Flash said in
his record, ~The Message, T ..."some-
times it makes you wonder... ? did
the officials condone the racism
there? Well, if the former Com-
mandant of the Marine Corps was
to be believed two years ago, he
set a similar tone, declaring that
in his view, African American Ma-
rine Corps officers, as a group,
just didn Tt shoot as straight, use
compasses as well, or score as
well on written tests as White
Marine officers.
Now, the double irony and chal-
lenge facing the new NAACP
leader, Rep. Mfume, concerning
racism in the military is a year-old
investigation into racial harass-
ment and expulsions, discrimina-
tion in promotions, and retalia-
tion against Black complainants
conducted onArmy bases in Texas
and Oklahoma, and presented to
acting NAACP executive director
Earl Shinholster by a Northern
Virginia military veteran and
NAACP activist this summer.

THE MAKING OF
A MENTOR
oIf you are planting for a year,
plant grain.
If you are planting for a decade,
plant trees.
If you are planting for acentury,
plant people. ?
Mentoring is not a new idea. In
fact, mentoring at one time was
the only means or way of passing
down and transmitting values,
skills, and character qualities from
one generation to the next
Mcntoring is a principle as old as
the Word of God: oAs iron sharp-
ens iron, ? says the book of Prov-
erbs, oone man sharpens another. ?
Moses mentored Joshua. Ezra
mentored Nehemiah. Elijah
mentored Elisha. Barnabas
mentored Paul and John Mark.
Paul mentored Timothy, Titus and
others. Paul also mentored Aquila
and Priscilla, whoin turn mentored
Apollos. And of course the master "
mentor Jesus Chnst, mentored and
passed down the values of the King-
dom of God tothe Twelve. Although
He preacfied to the masses, He
invested Himself in a few, know-
ing that those few would invest
themselves in still others and
thereby transform the world.
So then if we want our families,
our churches, our businesses, our
communities and ultimately our
world transformed...then we must
determine as Men of God and Men
of Courage, to pour our lives into
the next generation. We must in-
vest in them, by spending Tmore
time with the few. We must learn
to live for the next generation. We
must become mentors!
But what does it mean to be a
mentor? The word Mentor derives
its meaning from the character in
Homer Ts Odyssey. In this ancient
Greek fable, King Odyssey of
Ithaca, while he went off the war,
entrusted his only son,
Telemachus, to the care and train-
ing of his wise and trusted friend
Mentor.. Mentor, was a wise, car-
ing man, who was committed to
training the next generation of
leaders for the kingdom. These are
essential qualities for the making
_ of a mentor.
Mentoring also means to obe a
trusted counselor or guiden, And
the key word here is trusted. A
mentor earns the respect and trust
by the quality and faithfulness of
his life.
_ Also, | a a mentor means to obe a
coach or teacher ?. Not a drill-ser-
geant barking orders, but a player
coach, One whowill not only teach,
but will show the way, by going the
way and who will lead and encour-
age by example.
So a simple definition of
Mentoring, offered by Ron Lee
Davis, in his book oMentoring, The
Strategy Of The Master ? is this
oMentoring: A process of opening
our lives to others, of sharing our
lives with others; a process of liv-
ing for the next generation.

pursue education, both formally
and informally. In order to de-
velop ourselves so that we may be
able to ogive ourselves up ? and
ouse ourselves up ? for family,
church and community. We will
instill by teaching and training,
the importance of education to our
off-springs.
Faith: We will value.and live a
life of faith, that is total trust and
belief inthe true and living God,
the Holy Scriptures (the Bible).
We will value and believe in our
parents, our children, our teach-
ers, our leaders and our people
and in the righteousness and vic-

Andrews completes outh "
American deployment
Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class
Terry R. Andrews, son of Rosa L.
Cherry of 102 Sandstone Court,
Greenville, has returned to Naval
Station Roosevelt Roads, Puerto
Rico, after completing a six-month
South American deployment while
serving with the commander of
the U.S. South Atlantic Force em-
barked aboard the destroyer USS
Comte De Grasse.
Andrews is on the staff of the
admiral in charge of all U.S. Navy
operations in the South Atlantic
Ocean and the waters near South
lect group of Sailors and Marines
aboard the ship who worked for
the admiral and traveled 23,000
miles to participate in the multi-
national exercise UNITAS T95.
UNITAS "95 began off the coast of
Puerto Rico and continued around
South America. UNITAS is Latin
for unity. USS Comte de Grasse
served as the flagship for the exer-
cise and was one of seven U.S.
Navy and Coast Guard ships that
participated.
During
the deployment,
Ped
Andrews and fellow staff mem-
bers helped coordinate naval op-
erations and exercises with South
American naval forces while at
sea, and a variety of social and
community relations events while
ashore. The exercises and military
social events improved the ability:
of the different forces to operate

Ray Sherman teaches NEL
Look to Ray Sherman if you're
looking to improve your offense in
the National Football League
(NFL). That Ts what the Minnesota
Vikings did this year and it Ts al-
ready paying dividends.
The Vikings hired the 21-year
coaching veteran to tutor their
quarterbacks, and Warren Moon
has been the diffenece. Last year
the 12-year NFL pro had a minus-
1 touchdown-to-interception ratio,
throwin 18 touchdowns to 19 in-
terceptions.
This year, with Sherman as his
coach, Moon passed for 3,934 yards
on 31 touchdowns and 14 intercep-
tions. His total yardage was fourth
best in the NFC, and his 91.1 qb
rating was sixth best in the NFC.
Minnesota head coach Dennis
Green is pleased with his decision
to hire Sherman. oI made the move
for two reasons, ? said Green, the
NFL Ts third ever Black head coach.
oFirst of all, I was familiar with
Ray, and I knew what a tremen-
dous coach he was.
oSecondly, I knew he had worked
with Warren in Houston, and he
was comfortable with him. They
work well together in practice and
on game day. Warren turned it up
a bit, and we think Ray Ts played a
big part in that. ?
Sherman, who began his coach
ing career in college at San Jose
State in 1974, has been successful
wherever he had coached, particu-

larly in the NFL. He made his
NFL debut asrunning backs coach
for the Oilers in 1988.
Houston Ts running game im-
proved from 14th to the NFLinthe
1987 to fourth in Sherman Ts first
year. The Oilers set.a team record
for rushing touchdowns (26) and
finished second in the league in
scoring (424 points). In 1989,
Sherman coached the Oilers re-
ceivers and the team Ts offense im-
proved to 10th in the league from
22nd.
Sherman Ts receiving corps of
Ernest Givens, Drew Hill,
Haywood Jeffries and Curtis
Duncan combined for 211 catches,
2,964 yards and 18 touchdowns in
helping the Oilers reach the NFC
playoffs.
Following his success in Hous-
ton, Sherman moved to the oRed
Gun ? offense of the Atlanta Fal-
cons as the team Ts assistant head
coach for offense. Under Sherman,
the Falcons jumped to 10th in the
NFL in both scoring and total of-
fense after placing 24th and 22nd
in those categories in 1989.
San Francisco was Sherman Ts
next stop in the NFL, first as the
49ers T running back coach. He
worked with an offensive unit that
averaged 116.3 yard per game and
1.2 yards per carry after gaining
78.6 yards a game and 3.6 yards a
carry in 1990. Moving to receivers
in 1992, Sherman tutored a pass-
ability to pay by patients. ?
The proposed GOP plan would
take $270 billion from the Medi-
care budget and an additional $182
billion from the Medicaid budget
over the next five years. North
Carolinians can expect to lose $6.7
billion from Medicare and $8 bil-
lion from Medicaid.
oThese cuts place more than one
million Medicare and Medicaid
recipients at risk in our state and
reduce health benefits by $15 bil-
lion, ? said Clayton. oAmerican citi-
zens deserve the best health care
available and we cannot afford to
rob them of that to give a tax cut to
the least needy of our society. ?
Clayton and Stokes will be avail-
able to answer media and con-
stituents questions regarding cuts

and John Taylor that finished sec-
ond in the NFL in 1993 and third

oThe guy just flat out knows the
game of football, ? says 49ers head
coach George Seifert. oHe knows
how to break down defensive
schemes, and he always finds new
ways to attack even the best de-
fenses. ?
The year before joining the Vi-
kings, Sherman was the offensive
coordinator for the New York Jets.
There he helped receivers Rob
Moore earn a Pro Bow! berth with
78 receptions for 1,010 yards.
oHe Ts a tremendous teacher, ?
says Vikings wide recievers Chris
Carter. He helps us find crack and
decreases in the defense or in a
guy Ts technique that pays divi-
dends during certain situations in
games. He knows what he Ts talk-
ing about, so I Tm not at all sur-
prised at the success he Ts had int
he NFL. ?
Sherman hopes to continue his
good fortune with the Vikings.
oWe'reonthe right road, ? Sherman
said, oWe've gotten a little more
consistent on both sides of the ball.
We're basically doing the same
things, but we Tve modified some
routes and patterns that I know
Warren is comfortable with. Foot-
ball is a game of match-ups. And
we've been getting the right match-
ups. We'll get there. ?

Much is being written these days
about the new constituency in
American politics "the white in-
dependent. Some call this constitu-
ency the omoderate middle. ? Oth-
ers call it the oradical center. ? Still
others identify a split in which
wealthier whites are the moder-
ate middle and more blue collar
whites are the radical center. But,
whichever it is, the white indepen-
dent voter "now numbered at 25%
and 35 % of the electorate "is the
most sought after voter in America.
The Republicans tried to coopt
them in 1994 with a pro-term lim-
its, pro-political and fiscal reform
program, much of which has been
abandoned by the Contract with
America in favor of traditional
GOP budget cuts. The Democrats
thought their control of Congress
was so strong, that they never both-
ered to figure out how to appeal to
Why the White Ind
the independent, and so the Re-
publicans pulled the rug right out
from under them. That is why a
national panic has now seized the
Democratic Party, and 11 Demo-
cratic members of the House and 8
Democratic members of the Sen-
ate have announced their retire-
ment this year, more than twice as
many retirements as the Republi-
cans.
Independent white voters are
the big wild card. Everyone wants
them. But what do they want?
How does that new independent
bloc most influence American polli-
tics? How do the white indepen-
dents, the moderate middle, the
radical center, go beyond being
merely the swing vote between the
corrupt and discredited Republi-
can and Democratic Parties to
having the numbers to become a
bona fide majoritarian force for
grassroots democracy, for taking

Whatever you may have thought
about General Colin Powell and
his now-defunct presidential can-
didacy, he made a most perceptive
observation when he said of Black
America Ts relationship to the
Democrats, oI think it is in the
interest of the country, and in the
interest of African-Americans, to
have that hold shaken loose, so
that African-Americans have a
greater choice and can pick from
more than one option to satisfy
their political needs, and to make
sure their needs are taken care of. ?
General Powell was undoubtedly
thinking that the Republican Party
would be that option. Of course,

without him as the candidate, the
prospects for pulling the Black vote
to the GOP are scant, even with a
Powell endorsement of the even-
tual Republican nominee. But
Powell is quite correct in identify-
ing that it would be in the inter-
Fulani
ests of Black people and of the
country for us to have more op-
tions.
Black sentiment in favor of a
third party has been visible for
over a decade. After Jesse

dency in 1984, a poll conducted by
Fifth District-Richmond
Overview: Indicators of Fifth
District economic expansion
changed little since the last Beige
Book. Growth decreased in manu-
facturing and in state revenue col-
lections. Employment agencies
saw stronger demand for tempo-
rary workers, and port contacts
reported that their business was
up. Retail, service-production, real
estate, and finance contacts re-
ported that activity was mixed in
their industries. Tourism and ag-
riculture sources saw little change
in their industries T activity.
Retail Trade: Indicators of re-
tail activity growth were mixed in
October, according to results from
a mail survey of District retailers.
Sales revenue growth was un-
changed overall. Several respon-
dents reported a slow market for
apparels, however; one wrote that
corporate downsizing were de-
pressing the demand for business
attire. Inventory,employment, and
wage growth increased. Big-ticket
sales and shopper traffic growth
slowed. Survey respondents indi-
cated that retail prices rose more
slowly in October than in Septem-
ber. They expected their prices to
rise more rapidly during the next
six months than they had expected
in September
Service Production: Service-
sector growth was mixed in Octo-
ber, according to results from a
District mail survey. Revenue
growth was unchanged Employ-
ment and wage growth increased.
Service producers reported that
their prices rose more slowly in
October than in September. They
expected their prices to rise more
slowly during the next six months
than they had expected in Sep-
tember.
Manufacturing: Indicators of
manufacturing growth decreased
in October from their September
levels, according to results from a
mail survey of Fifth District manu-
facturers. Survey respondents re-
ported that growth in shipments
and new orders decreased; back-
log, workweek, and employment
growth changed little. Many re-
spondents reported a scarcity of

available labor, particularly skilled
labor. Manufacturers indicated
that finished goods prices rose at
about the same rate in October as
in September, but that raw mate-
rials prices rose more slowly. Re-
spondents expected their prices to
rise less during the next six months
than they had expected in Sep-
tember.
Tourism: A telephone survey of
hotels, motels, and resorts
throughout the District indicated
that tourist activity in October and
early November was unchanged
from that of September and a vear
ago and that winter bookings were
up compared to a year ago. Con-
tacts expected better-than-normal

showed that 57% of Blacks who
had voted for Rev. Jackson would
have voted for him ifhe had run as
an independent. Ten years later,
those -statistics matured into the
1994 polls which showed that 57%
of African-Americans favored the
creation of a third party.
Add to those statistics Minister
Louis Farrakhan Ts enthusiastic
call to the Million Man March and
all Black Americans to create an
independent othird force, ? and we
have a situation where Black vot-
ers are ready toestablish ourselves
in a new political alliance.
But can Black voters and white
independents become real part-
ners? Many of those radical cen-
trists who supported Ross Perot in
1992 did so as a way to attack the
relentless gfowth of big govern
ment and big deficits that were
funding massive programs that did
little to develop the nation. Among
African-Americans, Latinos, gays,
and other traditionally pro-big
government constituencies, an
approach which replaces the 30-
year pattern of blatantly politi-
cized spending (the Democratic
Party used the War on Poverty to
install a highly controlled patron-
age infrastructure, not to end pov-
erty) with direct citizens T democ-
racy has considerable appeal. You
may have seen the C-SPAN broad-
cast of the independent Patriot
Party convention in Minneapolis
last spring, at which I told the
Black delegates gathered that I
would not return to the African-
American community with the tra-
ditional promises of government-
funded jobs and teen-pregnancy
programs, but with a plan to re-
structure the political process to
empower them and all Americans.
In return, I said, J needed a clear
statement from the white delegates
that the Black community would
not only be welcome, but would be
sought after by the Party. Both
Blacks and whites were enor-
mously supportive of what I had to
say.
The bottom line is this: The in-
dependent white center needs
Blacks in order to go somewhere.
Blacks need the independent white
center in order to have somewhere
to go.

business during the next six
months, and they expected their
prices to rise faster than the gen-
eral rate of inflation during that
period.
Port Activity: Representatives
at District ports reported that ex-
port levels in October were higher
than those in September and a
year ago, while import levels were
unchanged. Contacts continued to
expect exports and imports to in-
crease during the next six months.
Temporary Employment: A
telephone survey of Fifth District
temporary employment agencies
indicated that the demand for tem-
porary workers was higher in Oc-
tober and early November than in
September or a year ago. Contacts
expected demand during the next
six months to be greater than
usual. Temporary workers T wages
rose faster than the general price
level during the past year, and
contacts expected wage increases
during the next six months. One
contact said, oLabor is very
scarce....It Ts getting harder for us
to find qualified people. ?
Finance: Contacts at District
financial institutions reported that
credit conditions were mixed dur-
ing the past four weeks. Demand
rose slightly for consumer and com-
mercial loans but fell for mortgage
loans. Interest rates were down
for consumer, commercial, and
mortgage loans.
Residential Real Estate: Ac-
cording to a telephone survey of
District real estate agents and
homebuilders, residential real es-
tate activity declined in October
and early November. Housing
starts, permits, and sales were
down over the period. Many con-
tacts in Maryland and Virginia
reported that the government bud-
get crisis slowed the market. Buyer
traffic declined slightly, and sev-
eral contacts blamed low consumer
confidence. Construction wages
and materials prices were steady,
and home prices were unchanged.

Commercial Real Estate: Dis-

Black Publishers Luncheon
Let me begin with general com-
ments about our society. For
these societal issues have a re-
markable effect on our economy,
your businesses and our future.
Literally millions of Americans
did not participate as we did in
the economic expansion of the 1
980s. We have truly become a
nation and haves and have nots.
Consider the emotional and eco-
nomic costs of the deterioration
of the American family, the dis-
appointing condition of our-edu-
cational system, random and in-
discriminate violence, the plight
of the homeless and hungry, the
extraordinary weight of our wel-
fare programs, the fear in many
Americans for their jobs and their
standard of living, and the ab-
sence of simple caring and de-
cency. These social ills are tear-
ing at the fabric of our country
and jeopardizing our future.
I trust that is enough bad news
for one day. Let Ts move on to the
brighter side. Our standard of
living is among the highest in
the world. Our system of govern-
ment is stable by international
standards. The U.S. economy is
now growing slowly, but steadily.
Personal incomes are increas-
ing and consumer confidence is
strong. The productivity of the
American worker is the highest
in the world.
In many industries, the United
States has become the world Ts
most competitive manufacturer.
The U.S. has created 21 million
new jobs during the last twenty
years. Thereis little upward pres-
sure in salaries and wages.
Capacity utilization is at an
historic high of 84%. Capital
spending continues to be strong.
There is little or no inflation in
the U.S. economy. The National
Unemployment Rate of 5.5% is
low by historic standards. Do you
remember Jimmy Carter's Mis-
ery Index? The Misery Index is
the sum of the unemployment
rate and the inflation rate.
Today Ts Misery Index of 8.2% is
the lowest in twenty years.
Coming closer to home, the
Southeast economy is the fourth
largest economy in the world.
During the last ten years, five
out of every eight jobs created in
America have been created in
the Southeast. You live and work
in the most vibrant economic
region in the United States.
North Carolina continues to
prosper as well with increases in
capital investment, employment
and personal incomes. Specifi-
cally, there are 256,800 new jobs
in our state. Job creation in 1993
and 1994 is the strongest in the
last ten years. These jobs are a
mix of expansions of existing in-
dustry and new companies to
our state.
As you look forward, three fac-
tors will drive America Ts future
" job creation, productivity and
inflation. America, the South-
east and North Carolina look very
strong in each area.

We need to continue to pray for
our young people. It Ts time for the
young people to wake up! This
world is about to come to an end.
We're not living in the last day,
but we're living in the last hour,
and we have no time to waste try-
ing to win our young people to
Christ. It Ts time out for the par-
ties, smoking, drinking, having sex
out of marriage, selling drugs, and
etc. It Ts time to get right with the
Lord. Some say they Tre not ready,
but if not now. When? With the
world getting worse everyday,
what better life can you live then
with JESUS. Your fun starts when
you accept JESUS CHRIST. The
things you long for in this world
like cars, parties, money, smok-
ing, drinking, and selling drugs
are all temporally and will fade
away. The blessings that JESUS
have like unconditional love, peace,
rest, and eternal life, are all per-
manent and will last forever.
JESUS will give you something
that the world can Tt give you and
the world can Tt take away. (JOY)

hat do we do concerning our
forever like JESUS. Getting saved
is the best thing that ever hap-
pened to me. I can see where I use
to be and where I am today and
thank God for where He has
brought me from, and how He has
blessed and changed my life. TO
GOD BE THE GLORY. There are
a lot of young people in this world
that Ts been hurt very badly in some-
way or another, they have no one
to turn to, no to talk to, so they get
into drinking, drugs, and sex think-
ing it Ts going to solve their prob-
lems. We as Christians need to
stop looking over the young people.
Just because you see them smiling
all the time does not mean that
they Trealright. Take time out, talk
with them, and really get to know
them personally. We have to wit-
ness to them also, but if you're not
right how can you tell somebody
else about Christ. There are Chris-
tians who know the bible from
Genesis to Revelation, but they Tre
not living the word. Let Ts not only
know the word but let Ts live the
word, because the word is life.
It hurts me to see Christians
putting other Christians down, or
talking about one another and jeal-
ous of one another, having envy
and hatred in their hearts toward
one another. Ifthe Christians can Tt
come together and get on one ac-
oYou Can Make It ?
One thing you should know if
you are anew Christian is that you
are going to go through some tri-
als, but God does these things to
make you stronger. What you go
through is only a test of your faith.
That is what God is here for, he
doesn't want you to worry about
anything. Because God chose you
out of the midst of the storm to give
an example and to show another
what God can do. But God wants
you to give it all back to him, be-
cause youcan Tt make it alone. Also,
yod has a love for you that no man
young
cord, how can we expect those who
are lost to come together in love.
We always say our sisters and
brothers need to come together
first. Imagine if we all were to
come on one accord. Think about
what will happen, how God will
move even the more in our lives.
Think about all those souls that
were saved on the day of Pente-
cost. If we come together on one
accord, we would witness with no
can surpass, that He would lay His
life, so you and I can have eternal
life with him. So always
remember....You can make it.
You're not in this thing alone, God
pe we will opie the will of God
without self being in the way, our
disagreements wouldn Tt lead to
arguments and fights, there would
be no confusion, and most of all
more souls would be led to Christ.
So let Ts be the Christian example
that we are suppose to be. oLord
Save The World. ?

Today, it is time to stop looking for

I think the actions of the youth
today reflect on the parents. Yes
it Ts okay for leaders of the church
to be role models, but I think the
real role models are their parents;
because, these are the people they
see everyday. What else are they
to do but learn from their parents
to be good role models and lead
their youth to be saved and live in
God's way, but first they must be
saved themselves. Also, I think we
have too many weak parents that
let their kids run all over them.
That Ts how kids learn to do the
things of the world, and people
wonder why so many youth today
go astray. Only if they had that
parent to look up to and to correct
them of their mistakes. Also to
lead them in the right direction at
a early age.
For Proverbs 22:6 reads:
Train up a child in the way he
should go and when he is old he
will not depart from it.
Rahimallah Burnett (Rallah)
Who made the stars above,
And sends Love on the wing of a
dove? God, the only on of Love.
Who said, ~Some day we shall
meet face to face T,
Only you live by my amazing
grace. Jesus, the Son of Love.
Who is He that loved us so much
that He gave His life for me and
such?
He loved usall that much, for He
is love. Jesus, the Son of God, the
Creator of Love.
Lavarsha Smith
It's time to be real
The new year has come and the
old has gone. It is time to be real.
Since I have been saved, I have
seen people who I used to hang
with, when I was doing the devil Ts
work, that have asked me why am
I different. I tell them it Ts because
[have Christ in my life. Then they
ask why did I get saved. I tell
them, I remember when I saw my
life flash before my eyes. The first
time, I was being raped. The sec-
ond time, I was having a baby. The
doctors said that there was a 99%
chance that either the baby, me, of
both of us would die ifI was to have
it. Well, both of us are alive and
well today. The third time, I was in
the hospital with P.I.D. and a fe-
ver of 154 degrees, which lasted
for five days. The doctors told my
mother and I that I was not going
to make it. Right then I began to
laugh in those doctors faces, not
realizing what I was doing. Now
God is good! Everywhere I go I
must tell my testimony because it
is real and ~maybe under this testi-
mony that God has given me some-
one will accept Christ in their life.
It Ts time to come home people. The
day is close where God will decide
who enters into His kingdom.
Those that do not know Him and
try to enter, He will say to them, I
don Tt know you and will turn his
face. Do you want to be in that
number?

Philippi Church of Christ
The young people of today should
be handled as gold. They are the
future doctors, lawyers, political
leaders, and ministers of the gos-
pel. But how can they make it that
far, if they have less people to look
up to than people to look down to.
The adults and elders ofthe church
of the church must be role models
for the young people. Ifthere aren Tt
any role models, what should we
expect our youth to make of them-
selves. Ifmany of the adults aren't
saved and aren't living that
lifestyle, they are not fit to be a
role model for the youth. To be a
role model for the youth, you must
first be saved. Next, you must be
living the word and live as a slave
to the word of God. Also, you must
be willing to sacrifice your time to
win souls into the kingdom of God.
Many young people in the church
are not saved. Many adults, who
know that they are not saved, have

made no effort to lead to Christ.
Some of these adults feel that these
young people can Tt change from
their ways of thedevil, they are too
stubborn, or they don Tt have to be
saved. The elders of the church
should be those who we can all
look up to, those who help us when
times become hard, and are con-
cerned about our spiritual growth.
Many of these elders do carry the
responsibilities which they-should
uphold, while many of them don Tt.
Many of them put you down, they
say, to build your character. I just
pray that the people of God carry
out the responsibilities which God
has called them to do.

THAT TS A FRIEND by John
Burroughs
One whose grip isa little tighter,
One whose smile is a little
brighter, One whose deeds are a
little whiter,
That Ts what I call a friend.
One who'll lend as quick as he'll
borrow,
One who's the same today as
tomorrow, One who'll share your
joy and sorrow, A
That's what I call a friend.
One whose thoughts are a little
cleaner,
One whose mind
keener,
One whoavoids those things that
are meaner,
That Ts what I call a friend
is a little
One when youre gone, who'll
miss you sadly,
One who'll welcome you back
again gladly, One who though an-
gered, will not speak madly,
That Ts what I call a friend
One whois always willing to aid
you,
One whose advice has always
paid you, One who's defended when
others flayed you,
That Ts what I call a friend.
One who's been fine when life
seemed rotten,
One whose ideals you have not
forgotten, One who has given you
more than he Ts rotten,
That Ts what I call a friend. .
This poem is dedicated to all of
my friends at Philippi who have
been there for me through this
past year. Iam meeting new friends
this year and I Tm praying they'll
be as faithful as my old ones.
Rahimallah Burnett
For many of our young black
brothers and sisters, everyday can
be a day of struggles. We're living
in the last days, and it seems that
society is becoming a little harder
to live in everyday.
I am a 19 year old black man.
I've been through many similar
problems that many of our youth
are going through now. I Tve had
me share of struggles, obstacles,
and hardships, and I would al-
ways try to find the easiest way
out; which, was not always the
best or right choice. But through it
all, the best choice that Iever made
was when I excepted Christ into
my life.
It bothers me so much, when I
see some of our young sisters out
on the streets, troubled, and bur-
dened down. Also, to see some of
our young brothers not wanting to
take that stand and become re-
sponsible young men. I Tm never
going to give up on any of them,
because there is always hope that
they will make it, and they will.
I enjoy spending time just going
out talking about Christ to our
young people. It Ts wonderful to see
that gleam in their eyes when I tell
them that God loves them and
that it Ts never too late to make a
change in your life.
It gives me such a joyful feeling:
when many of the young people
receive salvation. I commend a
number of our young people, who
are working hard in life; because,
no matter what society tries to
make it seem like, our youth does
have a future.
Through all of the hardships,
such as teen pregnancy, drugs,
crime, the non-importance of edu-
cation, and so on, prayer changes
things. If we all work together and
put God first and foremost, we can
help make that change, because
the youth are our future.

Black, white congregations
merge after 100 years
Two of the oldest neighborhood
in Beaumont, Texas, have ended
100 years of segregation and
formed the first fully integrated
United Methodist Church in the
Texas Annual (regional) confer-
ence.
McCabe Roberts Avenue United
Methodist Church is the product
of the merging of predominantly
Black McCabe and predominantly
white Roberts Avenue United
Methodist churches.
The new congregation recently
held in celebration service with
Bishop J. Woodrow Hearn, Hous-
ton Area, leading the service.
Before the merger, both congre-
gations, located 1.1 miles apart,
_ faced similar problems of mem-
bership loss and declining neigh-
borhoods in South Beaumont. The
move to combine the churches be-
gan last June with the cross-cul-
tural appointment of the minister.
According to the Rev. Elijah
Stansell Jr., pastor, Roberts Av-
enue dwindled from 1,500 to 194
members and McCabe from 400 to
294 during the past 20 years.
Katherine Wigington, 70, a long-
time member of Roberts Avenue,
told the oHouston Chronicle, ? oWe
were having more funerals than
christenings and weddings. ?
In an attempt to determine the
best ways to move toward the year
2000 and beyond, both churches
formed committees to develop a
process. While meeting, the com-
mittees realized that renewal was
needed in their churches.
The committees of the two
churches met together and made
plans to merge, a move which ex-
cited Beaumont as well as the
United Methodist leadership.
The new congregation held its
first worship service December 3,
attended by longtime members of
both churches. Some members left
because they could not accept the
consolidation, according to the
pastor.
