Since then, she has com piled a record that is une qualed. Her more than 100 albums have sold more than 25 million copies. Down Beat can't blame Maynard Jackson, Tom Bradley and other black mayors, for endorsing Carter because "he holds the purse strings for their cities," but added that they should not presume to speak for blacks. Blacks, on the other hand, he said, must not abandon black politicians whose "ability to operate in the suites depends on our mobility in the streets." In a press conference Lowery commented on Mount St. Ghetto (Miami), an independent black party and presiden tial candidates. He said "Mount St. Ghetto will always be potentially eruptive until there is extensive owner ship in the black com munity." He advocated a "third political force that is black led" and said that a party may be the seed that gives birth to such a force. He welcomes the move because it can be part of the strategies for the 80s, he said. He did not endorse one particular candidate but said he believes two out of every three blacks will . vote for Carter. He stress ed, the key to Carter's vic tory rests in the hands of C iuiy lcsis in ine nanus ui u act true integration, he said, is . they will vote. He added Black Political (Continued' from Front) board examiners. When the test she had taken was examined and right answers were seen to have been marked wrong, she was given her license and the suit dropped. Hawkins called the Bar exam "the biggest lie we have ever been told." He said he is no longer an integrationist and is sicjt of promises. At this point, he said he doesn't care what happens, as long as blacks disrupt, the establishment. He end ed his speech saying "Let's raise hell about the Wilmington Ten . . . .we want a complete pardon." Lowery also expressed support for the Ten in his speech and in a press con ference called the case one of the gross miscarriages of justice in the nation. Lowery called blacks an "extraordinary people" witKa special purpose. He said the black movement changed the nation, but "once we produced change, unfortunately we, sat down." He said "there has been a major shift in our psyche . . . .we eat, sleep and tee-tee where wca never did before and when whites said the f !Arv III 1 l-nt-' ' .i x . It movement " -was-: over 11.

Statu One important key to determine the divine strength of our Christian religion hinges on our feelings toward one another. Our religious beliefs often become too stagnant when withheld from those who would follow Christ through sound practice on our part. Does the spirit of God revive us to withdraw from the foes of righteousness? It is not the truth that the Godhead would approve such negative behavior. Followers of the Divine truths of Christ must project qualitative emotions to reach out. The idea mentioned here is likened unto the hundred sheep parable of Biblical reference. The lost sheep, if it is returned to the sheepfold represents dynamic feelings of divine nature should the ninety-nine be responsible for the reunion of the lost sheep. The idea also represents qualitative religion on the effort of any group of baptised believers in Christ who seeks the lost. . Jesus was not pleased to remain with the Godhead after the condemnation of the whole world through that man Adam. He saw His flesh being destroyed as preview to His coming to earth for our sins, but the feelings He possessed were divinely centered on others beyond the self-image Stagnation Tne divine quality of Christian religion must always look down on the helpless as portjfayed by Jesus who suffered, yet became the Christ .who pleased God rather than Himself. The theory of dynamic feelings says clearly that God does not need the whole world in an effort to save the whole world at large. However, there is a divine place reserved in the planning of God for everyone to serve if everyone should desire becom ing a servant of Jesus Christ through works. As we look for a point of weakness in churches of to day, we cater to the ninety-nine sheep who really need nO up-tight catering service. If this theory on dynamic feelings is true, and it is, we should redirect our feelings toward the lost.
