:';4 THE CAROLINA TIMES SAT., JULY 11, 1981 I LOOKED AND I SAW The Ablest Of The Able fc By Rev. C. R. Stone . v :::There arc many among us who occupy important -positions and make great promises to the people, these promises are general oral in substance and often cannot be relied upon. Even written proposals do not always provide help for those persons for whom they are in tended. As a matter of truth, many leaders have tenden cies to forget more than they really remember regarding jpu nises to the people. Those in authority who possess :the powers too often become concerned with self ..nriportance. With this purpose in mind, the mass ma-' jority denounce their leaders for lack of positive results. Whether our leaders announce their intentions as religious or secular, they do too little too late for the real good of people concerning their welfare. In the broad context of the world leader, every man is a leader of some sort in his own right. The society in which we live, whether near or far, requires designated persons of trust to occupy key positions for the general Sgood of the people. By nature of evil, most men have pendencies to do good to themselves prior to meeting the ;needs of the less fortunate. Our main prerequisite of a true leader is that he must have his evil nature made likened unto the image of Jesus Christ who is the "ablest of the able." When our present-day leaders recognize this, they will be. able to place priorities in their respective settings. For instance, one example was that of Jesus Christ who could not have become Lord of His Father's possessions had He projected His own self gratification prior to being a true servant to the people. iThe affiars of the people whom He served indicates that "Me was the "ablest of the able" in meeting their needs. ' The key question whicfi shoudl come to our minds regarding truth is, "Can leaders truly lead others if their prior concern is on self? I challenge you without a doubt, that if we are led by the ablest of the able, who is Jesus Christ, all of our difficulties will be resolved.

S If 1 CHICAGO A return to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "community gospel," born in the civil rights movement, is necessary if the black church an America is to eliminate racism and solve the growing problems con fronting black com munities. Although Chicago's Johnnie Colemon has grown in popularity by adopting some of the techniques of "New Thought" and "Rev. Ike," this leadership style promoting narrow in dividualism and materialism is not suitable for the revitalization of the black church in America, says the Rev. William H. Samuels, a minister on Chicago's South Side and a recent graduate of the University of Chicago Divinity School. "Christianity's resolu tion of poverty was not to King simply an acquisition of things, but the provi sion, of a place where the least of the brethren were treated as fairly as the greatest," Samuels says. 'The cost of Colemon's community is measured in dollars; the cost of King's community is calculated by man's spirit. Recon ciliation will only be possi ble when positive thinkers realize that the church and the community are: hot made of brick and mortar, but with Spirit." The narrow spiritualism of "old time religion will not regain the church's potency either," Samuels adds. Although deeply rooted in the Southern Baptist tradition, King split with . traditionalists partially out of concern that "too many Negro churches. . . ,are so ab sorbed in a future 'over yonder' that they condi tion their members to ad just to present evils 'over here." Most closely following King's community gospel is the work of the Rev. Jesse Jackson through Operation PUSH, Samuels concludes. Although Jackson himself does not admit it, Samuels says, "many of the ac complishents of Operation (Continued on Page 8) 1 W.
