Letter to the Editor : Sunday June 21st was Father’s Day. Here is Proverbs 31 para- phrased. Who can find’a man of integrity? For such a one is of priceless value that i increases _ perpetually. He walks in the fear’ of the -Lord-and-observes- all of his statutes. He embraces wisdom wholeheartedly and continues in the way of sound discipline. He maintains discretion and does not depart from the path of righteousness, for he under- stands words of insight. He treats his wife as he treats ~ his own body, seeking her pro- tection and well-being at all times. The heart of his wife rests beneath his covering and. flourishes in all fruitfulness un- der the outpouring of his love. He is faithful, drinking from his own well, and is unceasingly satisfied by the Wife of his youth, always loving her as a lover who loves still. He will do her good and not evil all the days of his life. Though he waxes strong, he exercises hur He diligently Works to bativer and supply the needs of his fam- ily and household. His wife has no fear of the times to come, for he prudently considers the future and prepares for it. He is kind to the needy, and his hame is synonymous with’a-~’ good report. His reputation precedes him; others seek his counsel and follow his example as well as instruction. His mouth is,a foundation of life to his household and to all who seek refreshing. He walks in confidence and sound judgement, administer- ing wise instruction to his wife and children, He sets his house in God-or- dained order. He redeems his household covers its inhabit- ants with prayer. He considers the words of his ' wife, celebrates her wisdom, and crowns her ‘as a helpmeet for him. He grants her a double portion, blesses her gifts, and Commun boasts of her achievements. . He is clothed in love and faith- fulness, He trusts and fests se- cure in the help of his Re- deemer, - Many men appear to be desir- able at first glance, but the man who fears the Lord is to be praised, for his witness endures the test-of time and scrutiny, Give him the honor he has eared and let the. work-of his hands prosper and be spread abroad. Happy Father’s Day ! The Editor :. Reach for the, 2009 graduates, no matter what your critics say _! Remember you will always have haters trying to stop you. — How easy it is to get discour- aged when someone criticizes something about you. Not ev- eryone'is going to like you or your-work. More than ‘likely people who are displeased are much more likely to-voice their opinion. Apply the 3:P’s for success- preparation, perseverance and pride: Also, apply the 3 D’s = discipline, dedication and deter: mination. Lastly, Norman Vincent Peale said “Believe in yourself and have faith in yee abilities! With humble and reasonable confidence in your own power, . you can be sticcessful or happy. Congratulations class of 2009! Would Ibe Called A Christian Would Ibe called a Christian if. everybody knew My secret thoughts and feelings and ev- erything I do ? Would they see the likeness of Christ in me each day? Oh, would they hear Him speak in everything I say? Would I be called a Christian if all could know That I am found in places Christ would never go? Oh, Could they tell the differ- ence in the songs I sing ? In my eating, drinking, dressing -in everything ? Would I be called a Christian if judged by what I read ? by my recreation, and every thought and deed? Would I be.counted Christ-like in my work and play, ‘unselfish, kind, forgiving of oth- ers every day ?

Mr. Payne ad- mitted to having adequate knowledge if the holiday but insisted on meeting with the all white board in the absence of the two Black members who informed him not to meet on the holiday. Stephen on Tripp the town’s mayor fi. nally apologized three - __ months later calling Payne’s "actions a mistake saying, ' “We as humans do make mis- _takes.”. The TRUTH is Mr. Payne’s actions are more consistent with a PROTEST On May 11, 2009:the mayor was respectfully asked at a town board of commission- ers meeting to remove Mr. Payne from office in the presence of a courtroom of African-Americans but as of - today has not complied. In _ addition, the Mayor stated that the town’s November - 19993 holiday ordinance for Dr. King only applied to its ‘board of commissioners. For more details go to the dnc@embarqmail.com.
