^st&toressine black history until we as a people have no
memory of our past and therefore no vision for our
future.
We do not know our true identity and cannot relate
and identify with our heritage. Most of us still believe in
our own inferiority and have created a mental caste
system that relegates us to a permament second-class
citizenship in the land of our birth. _
Where there is no back door, we create one. This is a
continous process by which the public and private sectors ,
mal-distribute rhe country's resources which keeps the
*' black community in a state of economic serfdom, making
_ 'I I r i
u impossiDie toi macKs to compete equally in the
marketplace.
We do not control the independence of our own institutions,
including the black church. Even though the
1954 Brown vs. Board of Education decision outlawed
physical segregation, blacks, for the most part,'are still
segregated in racially identifiable communities. And
despite the years of litigation black students ate
segregated inside the classrooms of America by various
means.
If we as a people are to reach our potential, we must
get our house in order, primarily the black church. We
can do That by eliminating the ways the American system
has used to dominate blacks.

Living the abundc
It you are a profound believer in the value of genuine
enthusiasm that expresses itself both in words and in actions,
it will help >ou to live an abundant life. Sustained
enthusiasm lies at the base of all genuine and resultful efforts,
just as it lies in back of every other aspect of suc:essful
endeavor.
However, a college professor once made the statement,
Naomi's View
NAOMf
McLEAN
"Enthusiasm is not quite scholarly." Well, there was
nothing remotely outgoing about him; he was the reserved,
introverted type. Most of his students were in his
classes because they were required to take the courses he
taught. He firmly had in mind that it was up to the
students to meet the requirements he set for his courses in
the best way they could. He was not an enthusiastic
teacher at all.

The
int life offers a jruii
There are mans people similar to that college professor.
It is being said to readers of this column, if you
are not lis ing the abundant life, make a change and try to
do so.
When we lise abundant lives, we wake up in the morning
in the spirit of eagerness for what lies before us that
day, and we end the day w ith a sense of glowing satisfaction,
and we hase an all-providing enthusiasm. Quoting
Emerson: "Nothing worthwhile was ever achieved
without enthusiasm."
Living the abundant life enables one to have inspiration,^
beliese in and have the positive approach, which
results in action; the negative approach inhibits action.
Positive thinking broadens vision; negative thinking
obstructs vision, destroying good points for an abundant
life.
Reading the life stories of men and women who have
made genuine contributions to society, it is cerrain they
all had one trait in common: They did much fnore thinking
about their possibilities than about their limitations.
They were people who looked upward and forward. Too
many people, unfortunately, tend to look downward and
backward; therefore, they fail. If you are guilty of such,
stop now; believe in the positive approach, and let it take
action. Find yourself leaving the negative side of life.

tful payoff
To live the abundant life and to accomplish ansthing,
there must first be an idea that things are possible. Then,
the watchword must be ''try," and keep on trsing with
enthusiasm and firm belief in >our-at^iht> to succeed.
When you lift your eyes from the ground, raising your
head, seeing the sky and the sun above, looking at trees
with their roots, you will acquire the positive feeling to
achieve worthwhile goals. You will be setting up high
ideals for yourself, and putting these ideals into action
will a medium lifting up your spirits. The spiritual tone

you to meerchaftenges necessary tor an abundant life,
remembering to dwell on the positive and avoid the
negative.
Plans for living the abundant life calls for prayer,
relaxation, quietness and solitary thinking, which will
enable you to get a vision of the possibilities -- giving you
a lift, keeping you alive and energetic* being inspired and
adventuresome. These factors will help you resolve to live
affirmatively, and not drift.
You will gain nothing by' dow ngrading yourself and living
the negative life, but will accomplish much by living
the abundant life and possessing the quality of genuine
enthusiasm.
It may be hard, but in the final test, a fruitful payoff.
