Nearly 17,800 prisoners are incarcerated

Johnson, a Republican and pastor
jf Mount Sinai Baptist Church in
Fayetteville, is the only black
member of Gov. James Martin's
cabinet. At the banquet he received a
plaque for outstanding service to the
state presented by Rev. Alfonza
Fullwood on behalf of the congregation
of St. John.
"My politics are no different from
my religion," he told his
predominantly black audience as he
preached. "Whatever 1 do I am a
Christian."
In terms of courage, he urged his
isteners to stand up for what is just
and good, for what they believe in,
'regardless of what it costs us."
He urged them to have faith not on
y by believing "in something." but
also by having faith in people of all
aces, to rise above differences.
"We are the same man. We cannot
save this land if we cannot trust each
ither, if we don't have faith in each

As a child reaches and grabs a
lightning bug in his fist, he said, so
those of faith and courage must
"seize the opportunity" to work
toward their goals.
"All we need is opportunity." he
said in closing. \
