More about that in a little bit... The folk of Deep Branch are industrious and hard working people. They care about what is happening in their com munity. 1 am proud to live in the Deep Branch Community. My goof was not done on purpose but it was a goof never the less. John Norman Sampson, Principal at Deep Branch School recently called and asked me to come out to the school and take a picture of the children who had been crowned King and Queen and runners up in the successful Halloween Fund Raising effort at the school. Said Mr. Sampson, "I am proud of our community and I want your readers to know how well our parents and community support us. We are proud of our school and want to share our accomplishments with others.” I, of course, agreed with him and came out to the school and took some pictures of the children who had raised the most money, and, consequently, been nam ed King and Queen, etc. So far so good. While I was developing the negatives, the telephone rang and I went to answer, 1 got carried away on the phone (I •was 6«tt.\TV6 a good cussing out' from one of oiir readers) arid’ ‘•'t^'hen I returned to my film they had overexposed. Alas, I was unable to get any usable prints out of the over develop ed negatives. We have attempted to correct our goof but the last time we scheduled the picture taking session, one of the children was absent from school. We shall try again next week. In the mean time, please forgive us. We shall try to rectify our mistake next week. WE OWE-OUR VETERANS OUR FREEDOM We have profiled one of our Veterans, Frank Scott, in this issue, We are proud to share his story with you. He deserv es our praise. We are indebted to Frank Scott and all the veterans of foreign wars for fighting to maintain our free dom at home. May we as a nation never desert them in their times of need. We owe them more than we can ever repay. AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THOSE WHO WON... Congratulations to all Indi ans who won places of respon sibility on the board of edu cation and the board of com missioners. KVe simply hope that they will live up to their mandate of office and exercise their hard won powers. Con gratulations to J.W. Hunt who was elected to the board of commissioners from the Row land District; and to L.H. Moore, Lillian Faye Locklear, Laymon Poe Locklear, Ralph Hunt, Sim Oxendine, and Tomn>v D. Swett. It is about time Indians had some repfe- sentatives on their own school board. Good lucki You’re going to need it. Dear Brother Bruce; Occasionally I must come forth and speak up in regards to our Indian Brothers and Sisters and the doors that seemingly open for them in inquiring funding for their community or tribe, whichever the case may be. Once they have agreed to accept that funding, there in the shadow ofthe proposabr project lies a small stipulation which they may have overlooked that closes those open doors with them locked inside and no way I am speaking in regards to the Title XX of the Social Security Act. I am aware of a number of Indian Tribal com munities preparing to receive this funding but do they realize that this Act definitely disadvantages American In dians and their Tribal govern ments. Especially those non- reservated, non-federally rec ognized tribal organizations and communities. As quoted in Wassaja, “Th is Act threatens the tribes’ rights to self government, because it allows the states to establish criteria, to enforce the criteria and standards, and it allows the states adjudicate and enforce the Act.” Presently,' there exists, a riI£CAK01JNA INDIAN VOICE proposed amendment which will be brought before the next session of Congress which will relieve the tribes’ of state jurisdiction in this area of Social Services. If approved, this amendment will allow the tribes to apply for and receive direct funding, set their own criteria, and completely con trol their own program under Title XX. It is essential that the tribes contact their Congressmen and senators and ask for their support of the amendments to Title XX which affects the self-determination concept of our Indian people This proposed ; amendment has the support of the National Conference on Social Welfare and anyone interested in rece iving a copy of the amend ment should contact Mr. Bert Carp, a staff member of Sen. Walter Mondale’s office in Washington. D.C. who has been assisting in formulation of the proposed amendment to Title XX. A text on the amendment may also be had by contacting;Wassaja, 1451 Masonic Avenue. San Fanci- sco. Cal. 94117. Arnold Richardson Field Specialtist C.E.N.A.

Chavis Post Adjutant Where You Are Alone.. According ro Seri prune Prison is a place where you are all alone. Prison is a place that you call your home. It seems that you will never get out, and there’s no one about, but yourself and the Lord above. You think of the ones you love so much. And it seems at times you can feel their tender touch. Prison is a place where you can see all kinds of faces, and people from all kinds of places. They telLvou of their lives and of their wives, of their mothers, of their fathers, of their sons, their daughters. It is no good place to be, nor to There are young men, old men, red, white and Black men, some short, some tall, some large, some small. One day I will be free. And I never want to be in prison again. Wilbert Jr. Locklear Wagram Prison Honored J The faculty and staff of I Union Elementary School were I entertained at a pig picken I Saturday afternoon at the I home of Ray and Dianna I Lowry. Host for the pig picken were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Scott, Mr. and Mrs. Lycourous Low- k ry and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Lowry. The men make up the ’ l^ advisory council for Union II Elementary School. 11 The guest were invited to I the grill where they could pick . I as much of the roasted pig as they liked,Cole slaw and pou nd cake were served also. The Advisory Council used this occasion to show their * appreciation to the faculty and • siaff for the outstanding job , they are doing with the children of the Union Com munity. First let me say that 1 appreciate those of you whom I meet on the street and in the stores who tel! me how much you love reading God’s mess age and his word. Anything I write or do will be God- not I. I’m jiist his tool, his servant willing to work, not doing my work but his will be done in my life. This is why According to Scripture has blessed so many, because it is according to God’s word, not mine. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but” my word shall stand. (Matt. 5:18) Again this week 1 want to share with you God’s word, something the Lord has press ed upon me to write. And when 1 took up God’s son, Jesus Christ, I said I would do anything for him. Like Peter and the otehr apostles who answered and said we ought to obey God rather than man. Acts 8:5-20 “Then Philip went down to the city of Sameria and preached Christ unto them.” In this revival that Philip had in Sameria he preached four things: (1) the word of God (verse 4); (2) Christ (verse 5); (3) the things of the Kingdom of God (verse 12) 1 Cor. 4:18-20; (4) the name of Jesus Christ (verse 12, cp. Mark 16:17, John 14:12, 15:16. The Bible tells us that Philip preaches the gospel and if I and the rest of his preachers would preach his word as God’s divine will and not ours, we would get the same results Philip got. When Philip prea ched in Sameria, there were multitudes converted (verse 6-12), miracles and healings (verse 6-7,12-13), demons cast out (verse 7), great joy (verse 8), many were baptized in water (verse 12-16), the holy spirit was given (verse 14-23). Now, if you are still with God’s word, prayer for the Holy Ghost is part of the gospel program. Let’s read verse 15: “Who when they were come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost.” Read Acts 1:14, 9:17- 18; 19:1-7; Luke 11:13; 1 Cor. 12:30, 14:1. The holy spirit given her does not refer to receiving the spirit of adoption for all receive this when born again. Romans 8:9. Let’s read again verse 14. It mentions the apostle leaving a revival at Jerusalem comeing coming to Sameria. Why? Because they heard that they had received the word of God. And they sent Peter and John unto them who when they prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Ghost. The holy spirit here must refer to the spirit of baptism and the supernatural gifts of the spirit for service, not salvation. For these people were already saved from sin, justified, born again, healed, baptized in water and had great joy in Christ. Verse 6-13. This experience was subse quent to the experience above verse 6-13. In verse 14-17 it states it is for all believers. It was evidently what the church had received at Jerusalem so they wanted other churches to have it. Read Acts 2:33- 38-39; Matt. 3:11; John 7:37-39. Some of you say we get along, the Lord hears our prayers, our people are saved. That is fine and good in God’s eye sight, but are you ashamed of God’s gifts he spoke of in 1 Cor. 12:1-20?. It seems every time a preacher preaches on gifts, he starts on tongue. You better take heed what you preach and say. When all those men of (3od gathered in that upper room. God’s word states that they were with the mother of Jesus and his brothers. If she was up there waiting for a promise from on high which was to be given. Acts 1:14. Being converted, healed, baptized in water and having great joy does not bring the Holy Ghost. The church at Jerusalem had the s^irif ' Let us and Build iiic Samaritan tiad all this and ’ yet lacked the Holy Ghost power (ver.se 6-13). If you lack having the Holy Ghost in your life, pray. In verse IS it says, “When they came down and prayed.” It does not always be by the laying on of the hand. You can receive as the House of Cornelius (Acts 10:44-48) or as the one on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-21). You don’t have to hold special service. Just as Philip preach ed Christ, preach the word, then pray and ask God for his gift of the Holy Ghost. You must ask, you cannot but as Simon tried and was told that ‘ ‘thy money perish with thee. ’ ’ Because he thought the gift of God could be bought, (verse 20) and to take part one heart must be right with God. Simon was not, because he saw the power of the Holy Ghost and thought it was a way to make money. The spiritual things of God are not for the purpose of making money. Verse 18-23. It cannot be bought, neither is the Holy Ghost to be blas phemed because it is the gift of God which is called the Spirit baptism in Acts 1:4-5; 2:38-39; 11:14-18; 15:7-13. I have shared with you one of my gifts that I received over two years ago. That is why I can still go on stronger for Christ. That is why 1 know that whay a man does or says against my name or anything he does to bring hardship to me or my loved ones, he is going to answer to God. “To offend one of my loved ones,” Jesus said, “..was better to have amill stone around your neck and cast in the sea. ’' For the eyes of the Lord are upon his righteous and his ears are open to their prayers. But the love of God is agains against those who do evil. 1 Peter 3:12. What I have given you, some pastor would, if he were not afraid the church office holder-afraid he might have to go back to labor. Amos, one of God’s prophets said it best: “Woe to them who are lost in Zion.” Amos 6:1. Today or tomorrow, if it comes will be at a lost. I see too many young and old people lost. They need to see a light some where, outside of the wilder ness, SO they can find their way home. This is my duty, and should be your duty as a Christian, to help point some lost soul home to Jesus. So many times I have heard the voice of a mother say in church, “remember my son or my children who need to be saved.” With you, mother and father, 1 share you prayer and hope that Jesus will bring them home. I want to again say how much I and the Lord appreci ate The Carolina Indian Voice for their patience on these long messages of God and for publishing. The Lord Jesus said in Matt. 25:40 ”In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethen, ye have done it unto me.” So by giving room for God’s word, he will bless as he said he would. Yours in Christ, Evangelist Ted Brooks P.O.Box 339-C Pembroke, NC 28372 IN LOVING MEMORY Of Donnie Revels, our lov ing husband and father, who passed away December 8. 1974. There is a vacant place in the home that will never be filled. Beyond the sunset he has gone to rest a while. The memory of his loving smile and the kindness of his words I remember at Christmas time and always. God is with me but. Dear God look at file loved ones in this world belo%. whose hearts are broken and sore by the parting. God’s word is a lamp unto my path. He only knows since he has gone, what it’s like to be in heaven. His Loving Wife and phiMif n esign Your Home Thursday, December 9, 1976 Educational Views Dy Dr. Do Iron Brooks ^ OUR HIDDEN IQ Jofin is a 5th grade student who is described by his teacher as slow, surly, unresponsive, apathetic, un imaginative. and lacking in inner life. This description is based on his performance on a number of psychological mea sures including an intelligence test and a personality test. John’s record portrayed what educators call the Culturally Deprived Child. How and by what means could John be come a vibrant, enthusiastic, energetic student? The answer came when Mr. Joe Sampson came to teach the 7th grade. What a teacher! He attracted kids by his wit, humor, and general interest in their development-mental and physical. Mr. Sampson could tell a joke and those unrespon sive students would just laugh, shaking his vocal box and making his bones tremble. Mr. Sampson knew that he had a serious problem with John and decided to try him out on the softball team. John was to become third baseman. Slow, sluggish John stood on third base, trying to stop the ground ball that the left handed Sampson hit so well. John fumbled, and finally developed into an excellent third baseman. John became alive. Now, back in the class room, Mr. Sampson motivated his kids by giving money, rear ranging the seating order by placing the top scorer at the front of the class. Extra credit was given to students wanting to do research. Mr.Sampson’s students worked to get that money, and to get a front seat. Thi.s strategy worked for John. This true story illustrates a number of things. First, it shows that ones description of students in a classroom can be altered by the input of an involved teacher, John’s IQ scores prior to Mr. Joe Samp son’s coming was low. At the end of school John was scoring in the high stanjnes. What made the change? Could the answer be found in motiva tion? The relationship between student and teacher reflects what that student can do. Students can change. Finally, the story clearly illustrates the fact that scores on test are not fixed, and can be reversed dramatically when the relationship between tea cher and student is improved. There is apparently a hidden IQ and a hidden personality that is often not revealed by test. ARE WE DEPRIVED ? NO. Are our children deprived? No, Our children are rich in creativity, in identifying rela tionships, memory, and num ber ability. What is needed is a prescription to excite the leth argic so that the hidden IQ can be made to function. Let’s put that 20 million to work in providing our children with the best of experiences, the best of teachers, and the best of programs. In Memory of Mrs. Fannie Tyner Mrs. Fannie Tyner In memory of Mrs. Fannie Tyner whom departed this life December 9. 1975. Sad was the night when the sudden news, came, that she was gone. She is not with us now, and why should we weep when we know that now, she is only asleep. We miss her more than words could ever tell, but oh“Just think someday we will be together to never part again.” How quickly you called her, how mercifully, she simply stopped what she was doing, and looked up and you were there. She must have known that she was going soon, because the notes she left behind were words of cheer for her family. To the end she loved everybody to the very end. And everybody loved her.
