Dixon, a doctoral candidate in psy chology at Boston University, has been awarded the Universi ty's first Whitney M. Young, Jr. Fellowship, according to an announcement by BU presi dent John R. Silber. The fellowship was establ ished earlier this yea; follow ing the death of Whitney M. Young, Jr., executive director of the Urban League, in recog nition of his outstanding contri butions, particularly in the fields of race relation, urban studies and socih! work. The fel'owship provides up to $3,000 a year plus tuition for a grdaute student who has displayed Interest and pro ficiency in a field related to race or urban problems. Dixon turned down a Veter an’s Administration training fellowship, which paid close to $5,000 annually, becuse it would not permit his training to take place in the.black com munity with the kinds of prob lems with which he is concern ed. In nominating Dixon for the fellowship, Dr. Joseph C.

Meditation A Sermonette Bv Colin Douglas Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. Let al) your things be done with charity. 1 Corin thians 16:13,14. U is not always the demands of life 'hat tend to disturb us, but rather our own iears that we are not adequate to meet these demands in a praise worthy manner. However, the truth is that through the power oi God and through our faith in that power, we can cope with any situation or condition that may arise in our lives. When we truly have faith In the ever abiding presence of the power of God, we are then filled with the courage and poise to meet everything strongly and sensible. If we are inclined to hesitate to meet new persons, new ex periences, let us remind our selves of the sustaining and comforting presence of the Fa ther. And, the best way of re minding ourselves is through conscientious prayer, it is on ly through prayer that we can keep ourselves in tune with the radiating power and wisdom of God. And, filled with His power and wisdom, we find ourselves more *han adequate to meet each new demand made upon us. When fear arises within us, and we feel inclined to retreat and avoid meeting an issue or an ex perience that should be met, let us gird ourselves with the con sciousness that with God all things are possible., and accept the challenge. We are all God's children, equally tieloved by Hlrn, and He i s every-ready toex ten d His helping hand to us, if we but reach out to Him in prayer. It is never too late to make contact with the Fattier and to receive His blessings. It makes no difference what mistakes we may have made in the past, or how far we may have strayed from our rightful paths--God's love and strength are always &- variable to us, our heritage as His beloved children. God is our refuge and strength. Psalms 46:1.
