The flush of lightning stood stdl.' Men
beheld this gforyaf the Great Fattier\ . each
bowed in silence. The Greet Father who
sent Hm messenger to earth began to
spoof 'Hear me/Beafraid not! I come bear

the Spn of the Great Spirit. This child has

He will teach m your councils He has come
to help men walk "the Way" to the land
beyond This sign you shad look for. He lies
where the animals are tied. He is wrapped

These words were spoken, and once
more the heavens filled with the great rum

sengers joined in the singing as praises went
up to the Great Father above: 'may there be
peace on thu earth whore man walks. May
men walk together at brother*, each one

and walk with firm steps. May their minds
be clear ? may they speak with wisdom.
May they walk uMth clean hand* and straight

John D. Locklear ?
Victim of Justice?
Another week has come and
gone, with Christmas just
around the corner. Many of us
are now buying trees and
picking up Christmas lay
aways.
Many Christmas Bazaars,
choir rehearsals, school page
ants and pifb-Christmas par
ties are now in the final stages
of completion. Our holiday
schedules kre busier than
ever before.
Most of us know what we <
have to do the following day 1
and make our plans accord- <
ingly. However there jure i
some who wonder what will
the following day bring?
John D. Locklear is one of 1
the ones who still wonder.
Why? Because he is still
behind the walls of prison. A
world within a world, but yet
apart from all of us. There he
still sits, waits, worries, prays
and wonders. "Why am I
lere?"
Readers, for a short time,
ry and enter into this man's
heart. Place yourself there,
feel his inner thoughts. Listen
to his inner voice speaking. "1
?m now in a world, a much'
different world than 1 have
ever been before. Why am I
here? Is there someone on the
outside who can help me? I
need your help, your money to
prove myself. You see, with
your help, 1 know I can be a
free man again."
Faith in God (the Great
Spirit) John has a lot of that;
and surprisingly too, he still
has faith in people. People
like you and me.
Since I started writing
about the John D. Locklear
?TifT TPitff TtSQl 'iTiiw
affair, 1 feel this man is '
innocent of the charges brou
ght against him and should be
given a chance to prove ,
himself.
I wonder if John D. Lockle
ar had been born of the Black
or white race, would he be
sitting now behind the wails
of prison? I think not!
Review this man's case.
Look at all the facts and you
will see it all come down to
one point. Poor legal
defense. Why? Because of a
lack of money to hire him a
good lawyer. That is why.
Blacks and whites always
rally around their own. Their
churches and other organiza
tions would gather together
and give money for good legal
defense. They would demand
justice for their own. They
also push their local and state
officials. One of the reasons
we vote for these people.
But what about us as Indian
people? Are we goinfe to sit by
and do nothing?
Let's now call upon our
churches, our many success
ful lawyers, our local and
state officials. Let's get toget
her and help this man have
his day in court.
Let's not forget, if we can
send a man to "Hollywood"
for a screen test, we can
surely be able to help a man
have his day in court.
John D. Locklear need not
be a victim of justice.

MT. AIRY NEWS
Violet Locklear
The Ladies Chorus rendered
special music Sunday morn
ing which was wonderful.
The pastor's message was
taken hem Luke 2:&-20. the
subject was "The Common
Way of Man." I have heard so
many comments this week
about it being the most
spiritual message he has ever
preached. 1 jusi say it was
among one of his best for they
are all food to me.
He told about the shep
herds who were just common
everyday people like -you and
me. They visited the infant
and afterward returning to
their own people to report
what they had seen. Then the
Wise Men followed a star and
it stopped directly above the
place where Jesus lay. These
scenes are important to us
because they were remem
bered by those who a long
time ago repeated the details
of the life of Jesus because
even at His birth, the indica
tions were that He was no
ordinary child. The signs of
God were upon Him from the
beginning.
The little children Sunday
knew the story of Jesus. You
can tell a child who is brought
up in church and being taught
the word of God.
The pastor and Mr. Monroe
Chavis were presented gifts
from the Mt. Airy Brother
hood by Mr. John L. Locklear
Jr. He gave some brief
statements etc. of what each
one of these men means to
them. I would say to the
church as a whole, it would be
hard to replace them.
Mrs. Cattie Mae Cummings
was able to be back in church
who recently returned home
from Southeastern General
Hospital. Mrs. Cummings is
vety dedicated to her church.
We really missed her while
she was out sick.
Thursday is an all day skate
day fo^ the children at the
Roller Dome in Laurinburg.
The pastor will be taking them
on the bus.
The January Bible Study
Week is nearing. Bro. Faye is
preparing to lead the adult
g.iMip. ine pastor leads the
younger adults. Our Sunday
school workers in each divisi
on will assist in their own age
groups.

God's blessings on these
families.
Mr. Charles Carter who is
employed in Colorado came

CHRISTMAS
As a cnua i can remem
ber asking my mother why
everybody was so happy at
Christmas. I can still hear her
reply: "It's because Jesus
wasjborn." That word Jesus! ?
There is something about that
name. The deep sentiment of
love at Christmas makes
people more happy than gifts.
Once again Christmas com
es. Times are different. But
the meaning and spirit of
Christmas are still the same
and always will be. Why?
BEcause of Jesus' birth and
what it means to all. With him
we can go into the new year
with confidence and hope.
So as we celebrate the
greatest gift ever given, will
the God who gave it see us
making the Son (JEsus) so
much a part of our fives- all
day- every day.
The more we learn about
Jesus, the better we under
stand wtyy people, both then
and now decided to follow him
which is^ the most important
decision we'll ever make.
To every reader of the CIV:
hope you have a wonderful
Christmas and a happy new
7?"- . .
