GODS MYSTERIOUS MOVES
By DONALD LOVE
To understand God, first we
will have to realize who and
what He is. For reasons of
our own, we have conceived
within ourselves, who and
what He is.
God is not what we are.
God is not who we are. We
are blood, flesh and bones;
these are corruptible and im
moral. God is a spirit and is
not corruptible nor immoral.
When God made man, He
reached down, got a portion of
the earth, shaped and formed
it until He was satisfied. This
earth he gathered turned out
to be blood, flesh and bones.
To make this image into His
own likeness, He put some of
Himself into this image by
breathing into the nostrils of
it. This image then became a
living soul.
Everything God had created
before then failed to get some
of God within it as this image
did. God considered making
this part of his creation His
masterpiece.
Man is made of two com
ponents crave different things.
Blood, flesh and bones crave
for things that the earth pro
duces and the spirit craves for
God. It is up to man to decide
which of these two he is going
to nourish.
To understand the spirit,
you have to be of the spirit.
Christ told Nicademous:
"You must be born again."
Meaning: denying yourself of
the things the body is demand
ing of you and yielding to the
spirit that is within you and is
reaching our for God who is
the spirit.
If we never learn the dif
ference between the two, we
will never know but the one
and that is the material side
of life.
God demands of us to know
that spiritual side. Then we can
understand, if not all, then
some of the mysteries of God.
There is no communication
between blood, flesh and
bones with God. Only the

U. S., Nigeria Link Hands in Honoring UL Head
By ETHEL L. PAYNE
LAGOS, Nigeria - The
United States and Nigeria
linked hands to accord a
hero's honors last week to
Whitney M. Young, Jr., execu
tive director of the National
Urban League, who collapsed
and died following a swim in
the surf here Thursday.
Within hours after learning
of Young's death, President
Nixon and Secretary of De
fense Melvin Laird Jointly
ordered an Airforce plan to
Nigeria to bear the body
home for burial. The gesture
was the highest accolade paid
to a civilian. Brigadier General
Daniel "Chappie" James, rank
spirits can communicate.
I recommend reading II
Kings, some of the things the
prophet Elisha was able to do
through the spirit and not the
flesh.
II Kings 6: 1-7, how the
prophet caused an ax to float
by cutting down a stick and
throwing it where the ax fell
in. This was a borrowed ax
and it was retrieved by the
man of God.
St. Peter in the flesh,
walked on water in the spirit.
He sank because he separated
himself from the spirit.
As we read the Bible, we
run across numerous incidents
in regards to how man, who is
in close contact with God, was
able to do unbelievable things.
We see them done, but we
doubt that they were done
after seeing them done.
Out doubts and disbeliefs
cause God's spiritual acts to be
mysterious. As long as we stay
engulfed in the flesh, all things
seem as though they are tricks
employed.
If man can cause us to
doubt his doings by means of
his knowledge, such as electric
light, telephones, radio, tele
vision, even color t.v., rockets
and what not, then give God
credit for the things He does
by means of the spirit.
When man does something,
it takes days, months, and
years before completing it.
But when God was in the
business, He only spoke and
things were done. He said:
"Let there be light," and there
was tight.
Again, I will repeat, the
mysterious wonders of God as
fkr as man is concerned is due
because man cannot and does
not get in tune with God. To
get in tune, you will have
to give up the material things,
fund your real self, which is tht
spirit that is within. No won
der it is said and sung: God
moves in mysterious ways. His
wonders to performed. He
plants his footsteps on the
seas and rises on every storm."

Keep Poisons
Out of Reach
Of Children
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
More than one-eighth of all
Americans who died last year
by swallowing poison - 325
out of 2,500 - were small chil
dren too young to read labels
and of an age when they put
anything into their mouths,
the American Red Cross said
today.
It urged parents to protect
their children by keeping
poisonous substances out of
their reach, because "they are
too young to identify a poison
ous substance," Robert M. Os
wald, national director of Red
Cross Safety Programs, said
today.
The Red Cross is one of 22
member organizations of the
National Planning Council for
Poison Prevention Week, which
has been proclaimed by Presi
dent Nixon for the week be
ginning Sunday, March 21.
Dangerous substances in the
home include many products
kept there for useful purposes,
Oswald said. They fall into
four categories: household
products such as ammonia,
■liver polish, toilet cleanser,
lighter fluid, and detergents;
medicines such as aspirin,
laxatives, tranquilizers, antihis
tamines, and lotions; workshop
solvents, such as wood alcohol,
gasoline, turpentine, paint
thinner; and wax; and garden
chemicals -- fertilizers, weed
killers, and Insecticides.
Tax Education
Classes Offered
By IR Service
GREENSBORO - No mat
ter how hard the Internal Re
venue Service works to make
Form 1040 easy to under
stand, it still remains a devil to
many taxpayers.
What most people don't
know, however, is that the In
ternal Revenue Service has a
vast educational program un
derway in North Carolina
which is geared to the need of
teaching thousands of Tar
Heels not only how to file re
turns, but also how to read
and understand the basic fe
deral tax laws.
TEACHING TAXES
PROGRAM
in hundreds of high schools
throughout North Carolina - as
in all states • thousands of stu
dents are enrolled in the
course "Understanding Tax
es." The text-books and tea
chers' guides used in the
course are prepared by and fur
nished to each school, free of
charge, by the Internal Reve
nue Service. The course covers
the history of federal taxes,
why taxes are needed, where
taxes come from and how the
tax laws and the basic princi
ples of filing returns, individual
and farm.
After completing the
course, many students are able
to assist their parents in filing
their returns. One group of
high school students made mo
ney for their class project this
year by filing tax returns for
local citizens.
The Teaching Taxes pro
gram is growing rapidly in
schools throughout the state
as more and more educational
institutions become aware of
the need for students to get a
head start for their confronta
tion with tax matters which is
sure to come after graduation.
The next generation may even
Hook kindly on Form 1040's.
The tax education program
is undo: the direction of Inter
nal Revenue's Chief, Training
and Public Information
Branch. This year approxi
mately 100,000 Tar Heel stu
dents are enrolled in the Un
derstanding Taxes course.
VITA
The Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance Program (VITA) is
a new concept of tax assistance
which has been designed and
supported by the IRS to give
help to lower income groups in
filing their tax returns.
Under the system, mem
■bers of community-action
groups and other public spirit
ed individuals go out and as
sist lower income taxpayers
and the elderly to file their
tax returns. No fee is charged.
This year, hundreds of North
Carolinians are and will be
assisted by these Volunteers in
preparing their returns.
The IRS organizes and sup
ports VITA. Those who agree
to assist others are first given a
concentrated classroom course
in tax laws and filing require
ments. These classroom in
structors come from a select
group of highly skilled agents
and Taxpayer Service Repre
sentatives, long on experience
with IRS.

amount of crime, Astor con

suggested, "you cannot mea

It is likely that much crime

As a specific example, he
pointed to the drop in the

after police were assigned to
