deemer Lutheran Church in i
FayetteviDe. "The work yon (

These remarks were direct

Rev. Peuster presented a
check for $4,000 to be used in
the development of the new
Food Co-op scheduled for
opening by CFNP some time
in June of this year in
Lumberton.
The Lumberton Food Co- op
will bring to two, the number
of food co-ops operated by
LRDA's CFNP Project. The
primary purpose of die co-ops
is to assist low-income indivi- ]
duals living on fixed incomes
in buying food at reduced
prices. According to Ms.
Locklear, food can be pur
chased at the food co-ops at
approximately 20% below
prices charged by average
grocery stores.
Food Stamps are accepted
at both co-ops. If interested in

4 ADULT ED STUDENTS
PASS GED TEST
AT ETC
by Piiiy Lcwity
The Lumbee Indian Adult
Education Project (IiAEP) a
component of Lumbee Re
gional Development Associ
ation (LRDA) has done it
again!
On April 19, 1982, 4
students who attended the
Aduli Education centers took
die General Equivalency Di
ploma (GED) test at Robeson
Technical College and passed
with a score of 225 or higher.
They were: Kelvin C. Tram el.
Smyrna Center, Virginia Lock
tear. James V. Locklear and
Annie Marie Locklear, all
from the Evans Center.
Kelvin Crawford Tnunel,
19, has lived in Massachu
setts for the past few years
where ,1m dropped out of high
school. After moving to Lum
' berton, NC, Kelvin wanted to
start back to school "just to
prove he could do it." In April
of this yesr, Kelvin enrolled st
the Smyrna center and began
studying for the GED. His
passing score was 256. He has
enlisted in the Navy and will
be leaving for training the
first of May. Kelvin is the son
at Mr. and Mrs. BiBy M.
Tnmei.
Virginia Locklear, 27, is the
mother end sole parent ai 4
children ranging from the age
of 10 years old to 6 years old.
She attended Green Grove
School before dropping out la
the 8th grade due to personal
T
(/
was so 1 could nave ? m.?x.
other than working in a
factory." She enrolled in the
Evans Center in October
1981. Her GED test score was
233. "My sister, Bessie Lock
lear, who also attends the
Evans Center, tokl me I had
passed, but 1 didn't believe
her. I had to go back to my
night class and hear it from
my teacher. I studied very
hard and as often as I could _
and my teacher helped me a
lot but I never dreamed I
would pass," explained Vir
ginia. Her future plans
include enrolling at Richmond
Technical Institute and enter
ing the field of nursing.
James V. Locklear, 19, is
the son of Eudine and Myrtle
Locklear of Pembroke. Vic, as
he is commonly known, drop
ped out of school in the 11th
grade. He enrolled at the
Evans Center in November
1981 and was tested on a 10th
grade level. His reason for
returning to school was partly
due to the fact that he wanted
to enter the Marines. Before
coming to the center, he went
tu ine i*iMime Recruiting
Office and tried to enlist but
was denied because of his
educational status. Vk sta
ted, "I wanted to show them
that I was aa smart as the next
person." And that's exactly
what he did. His passing
score was 225. His future
plans include enlisting in the
Marines.
Annie Marie Locklear, 28,
. is the mother and sole parent
at two children, Sharon, 9,
and Stephen, 5 months. Annie
attended Pembroke Senioi
High School before dropping
out in the 10th grade in 1970.
The only schooling she had
after that was in 1980. She
P nhaan mt T??it'a
attended Koof*on lecn t
Adult Education Programfor
2 months bat had to quit due
to personal masons and lack
of transportation. Annie sta
Etta M. Chavis (a student at
the Evans Center)." Annie
enrolled at the Evans Center
in April of this year. She
scored 240 on the GED test.
Annie's future plans include
enrolling at Robeson Tech in
the business field.
These people have accom
plished a lot in a short period
of time and are to be
commended. Returning to
school is a difficult decision to
make once you have dropped
out, but it is even more
difficult if you are a sole
parent with young children to
support and care for. The
LIAEP staff congratulates
these students and we wkfc
thorn much success and hap
piness in the future. They
deserve itH

The Sunday
School Lesson
A Ministry of the
BuHr* Swamp Baptist Association
V h ' 7 .
by He- Walton Lvwry
CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUS
JUDGE
Today we will devote our
time to closing our study in
Revelation
Rev. 18:2 The keynote of the
great central section of the
Book of Revelation is judge
ment. In our last lesson we
had the first series at judge
ments, the seven seals. This
was followed by two other
'series, the seven trumpets
and the seven plaques or
bowls of wrath.
In today's lesson we came
to the climax of judgements:
the judgement of the Great
White Throne. We need to
seriously and honestly ask
ourselves the question: "Am I
ready to meet God at the
judgement?" Are we pleased
with the salvation of our
soul and have we rendered a
life of service.
Space is limited for discus
sion of the fall of Babylon and
who or what she represents.
How the Earth Lament over
her fall, while heaven rejoi
ces. The four Hallelujahs
followed by the Marriage
Supper.
Now the lesson begins with
the Faithful and True on a
white hone. He la decorated
and crowned with diadem. He
ia King at Kiqga. He ia the
Word at God.
Christ with the armies at
heaven. Study this appearan
ce and significance at the
army's dress and who are
they. Jesus Christ now has
been declared King of Kings
and Lord of Lords. Their
names had been proclaimed
before in the Old Testament.
The fleeing of the earth and
heaven from the face at God is
typical of the description of
the coming of God in the Old
Testament. Yes, people will
want to die but death will flee
from them. Who shall be able
to stand?
The Beast and False Pro
phet are captured andput in
the firely lake of burning
sulfur or the lake of fire. This
is the final doom of these two.
The thousand years repre
sents a time of peace with
Christ.
The application of the less
on to us. The final judgement
is a serious matter. Are you
ready? Has your sins been
purged or forgiven? Prepare
to meet thou God is a
warning.

We certainly were happy to
have Rev. & Mrs. Isiah
Locklear in church with us
Sunday. Rev. Locklear gave
us a wonderful testimony
from the pulpit, following
with a prayer. To me over the
years, when you meet Rev.
Locklear and he begins to
speak to you about your soul,
you could see the results of
conversion in his life; a man of
patience, gentleness, etc. He
just has a way of embracing
everyone. Thank God for his
long life.
He said he definitely enjoys
bearing our pastor, of course I
guess everybody does. I notice
we have another quartet
":uUP of singers organized.
Mr.John Boris Locklear, Mr.
Arnold Oxendine, Mr. Leo
Locklear and Mr. Spencer
Locklear, with Monroe at the
piano. We are a fortunate
church to have so many
talented groups singing for
Jesus. God still uses simple
songs and hymns to touch
men's hearts, and to challen
ge many to decide for Christ.
Their song, "I've Been With
Jesus," was uplifting.
Day camping is almost
Here, beginning June 15th
every following Tuesday.
The pastor encourages all that
will help hinnout. The child
ren are already getting excit
ed. That ii a program they
eally enjoy. There were some
.0 or more from our Adult
junday School class attended
our party last Saturday night
at the Village Inn in Lumber
ton. Present were our teacher,
Mrs. Lucy O. Thomas, assist
ant was Mrs. Lailure Lock
lear. Some of the ladies'
husbands attended also. Eve
ryone enjoyed a seafood din
ner. This is a yearly event in
which we all enjoy at different
{daces. I think this was among
one of our best.
The courtesy we received
was really remarkable. The
Senior Citizens from the Mt.
Airy and Union Chapel Area
enjoyed Senior Citizen Day
last Thursday at Union Chapel
School. There was a huge
crowd In attendance. Every
one enjoyed a delicious meal
- together served in the new
cafeteria. After dinner, Mr.
Archie Oxendine led everyone
.into the school gym were Mr.
Wade Hunt the new principal
gave each one a most friendly'
welcome. The superintendent

interesting speech. One com
ment concerning his parents.
u> me they were like mine.
They didn't have much educa
tion, but they instilled into the
minds of their children the
importance of what we didn't
gain through education was
our own fault. The 4th grade
rendered their May Day pro
gram under the assistance of
thvir teachers, Mrs. Dale
Lowery. and Mrs. Wvonne
Wallace which was really
good.
The special entertainment
of music was by Mr. Early
Maynor and Willoughby
Jones on their harmonicas.
They started out with some
good old sacred hymns, and
ended with the "fas trot". I
think everybody was laugh
ing. Rev. Mike and Rev.
Make Mitchell were in our
presence. Special thanks to
Mr. Archie for giving me the
invitation to transport some,
SO I could attend. Everything
was remarkable.
