Dr. Lillie Madison Jones brought forth the simplistic and yet powerful theme, "Don't quit." As the District Superintendent of the New Lake Norman District of the United Methodist Church and a 1965 graduate of Bennett College, Jones represents a powerful woman of color who did everything but quit. Along with serving through out ministry, Jones also once worked for the Guilford County School System until retiring as interim superin tendent. A nationally distin guished educator, she has held the title of teacher, prin cipal and deputy superintend ent within her decades of service to education. At a time when the gradu ating seniors needed it the most, the motivational speak er assured them that the next step in their lives would not be a lonely journey. "Wherever your mind is tonight, whatever troubles you, whether you turn to the right or to the left, there will be a voice behind you telling you the right way to go; you are never alone," Jones said. Encouraging the students to let God carry them Dr. Jones throughout their life experi ences, Jones cautioned the Class of 2011 to remember that even those who have had the most "glowing testi monies" have quit because of a lack of hope to carry them through their trials. Jones pleaded with the graduating class to never quit, not only for the sake of themselves but also for the sake of others. She also reminded the audience that despite condemnation and crucifixion, Jesus Christ did not quit, and without His per severance, the children of God wouldn't have the enti tlement to everlasting life. "Never stop what you start until you do what you set out to do," Jones said. "This does Dr. Malveaux not mean that there will not be setbacks, but you will not stay on your back." Bennett President Dr. Julianne Malveaux seconded the guest speaker's call for the graduating class to perse vere through the trials in order to accomplish for the greater good of all. While mirroring Jones' final call, Malveaux said, "A setback is a setup for a come back. ..my sisters, keep com ing, keep coming, keep com ing." Because only one in four African-Americans have a bachelor's degrees, the College president told the young women that they couldn't afford to quit. They must persevere as representa tive voices for their race. Instructions from 0-od Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson Lesson Scripture: Joshua 1:7-16 Lesson Aims: To summarize the lesson text; to recognize the relationship between success and obedience; and to become serious about our com mitment to God. Background: Moses changed Joshua's name (The Lord Saves) in Numbers 13:1-16 when he and 1 1 others were commissioned to spy on Canaan. As an adult leaving Egypt. Joshua wit nessed all of God's miracles along the way. He had God-given skills that would be refined and sharp "eried during the journey. Soon, he became Moses' understudy. With each new experience, God was molding him for leadership. Moses appointed him general to lead the counter-attack against the Ama likites (Exodus 17:9-14). He accompanied Moses part of the way up Mt. Sinai (Exodus 24:13). When God spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting (Taber nacle), Joshua was there. The future leader ob served how Moses handled leadership. From national crises (foreign attack) to daily adminis trative matters, Joshua learned from his mentor. To put the icing on the cake, he witnessed Moses' in See Peppers on B5
