Upon announcing his candidacy Con

statement:
"Since becoming a member of Con
gress in 1973.1 have worked on a number
of issues which are important to the
Indians of southeastern North Carolina.
Federal recognition has been one such
issue, as the question of -recognition is
essential in determining eligibility for a
number of government programs. While
the federal government does not current
ly recognize Lumbees. I have worked re
see that the Lumbees continue to receive
other benefits to which they are entitled.
In particular. I have joined other
members of Congress in opposing the
Administration's attempts to diminish
the role of the Administration for Native
Americans, which provides assistance to
non-federally recognized Indians.
"In the area of housing, the Depart
ment of Housing and Urban Develop
ment has been slow in processing
funding for public housing for Lumbees.
This money--an amount in excess of
seven million dollars-was being delayed
in channels in the Department's Wash
ington offices and ran the risk of being
cancelled because of this delay.
After much prodding from me, the
Department's Office of the General
Counsel agreed to release this money,
and Lumbees will soon have the housing
assisance which they require.
''Education funding is also an impor
tant issue for Lumbees. The Department
of Education's Title IV program is the
'bread and butter' for non-federally
recognized Indians like the Lumbees.
providing money to school districts with
significant Indian and Native American
populations. 1 have worked over the past
several years to see that the Adminis
tration does not recklessly cut funding
for this program. Since the Adminis
tration will probably continue its efforts
to cut this funding. I anticipate working
on this issue again in the future.
"1 have worked for the Indians of the
district in other ways as well. In 1983 1
appointed my first page ever and chose
Sean Jones from Pembroke to fill this
"polinorirl Sivc atse ittt1wd*sd
Lumbees on my district staff to assist me
with my congressional duties. In addition
I have worked to support Indian grant
applicants and helped obtain funding for
the United Indians of America, formerly
the Indian Information Project.
"I hope to continue working to assist
Indians and Native Americans on the
federal level. I believe that my exper
ience and successes in ensuring that they
receive the benefits to which they are
entitled will help me in working on
similar issues in the future."

Book offers
View of
Holy Spirit
Rev. Edmond Locklear
It is commonly agreed among religious
? people that the Holy Spirit was sent to
the earth and arrived on the Day of
Pentecost. Being a Spirit, He is not
visible to man. But, if He was seen, what
would He look like? A new book titled:
What God Says Now lets readers see the
Holy Spirit through the eyes of demon
spirits.
What God Says Now is a book of 3720
questions and answers on SO topics
tar?g-?g from- 'hom>n?tKv>? and sborthih
to sex, temptation and the Ten Com
mandments. One question, "Can My
Sins Hurt Me Now?", is answered by
eight modern parables spaced through
the book's 672 pages.
The Holy Spirit is shown at work in the
lives of the persons depicted in the
parables. In the first parable. He is <
mentioned. In the second parable. He is
heard to speak to angels who have just
answered God's desire for mercy for an
accident victim who had called on God
for mercy. The lead angel perceived the
incoming Presence of the Holy Spirit.
According to the parable, the angel cried
out: "All praises be unto the Living
God," and immediately joined his fellow
angels in drawing his wings to his sides
and bowing his head and humbling
himself to the Spirit of God, another
name for the Holy Spirit.
In this second parable is the only time
the Holy Spirit is heard to speak
throughout the eight parables. Then, He
spoke only to angels and blessed them in
the name of the Father and of the Son.
It is in another parable that a view of
the Holy Spirit is presented to the
reader.
Not many notable ministers and
evangelists are known to have expressed
beliefs in the work of heavenly angels
and demons. But, it is believed most of
them do recognize the Holy Spirit.
Evangelist Billy Graham copyrighted a
book in 1975. He called angels God's
secret angels. In the preface of his book,
Graham stated that when he decided to
preach a sermon on angels, he found
practically nothing in his library. He
stated that he found very little had been
written on angels in this century.
No Liberty Taken With Holy Spirit
Saya Author
Rev. Edmond Locklear, Jr., the author
of the parables and the compiler of What
God Says Now, says he does not believe
he has taken any undue liberty with the
Holy Spirit by picturing Him in One of the
parables. Locklear says he prayed about
what he was going to do. When he was
not led not to do it, he did it, writing the
picture that came into his mind of what
the Holy Spirit wpuld look like if human
eyes could see Him.
locklear says in earlier drafts of the
book God spoke in one of the parables. ?
Locklear says he ^s later led by the
Holy Spirit to edit out the words of God
on the premise that he should not put
words Into God's mouth. But as to the
picture of the Holy Spirit. Locklear says
he was not led to delete or edit it.
Locklear says he believes God wants .
ment to now see the Holy Spirit so they
will know He exists, that He is upon the
earth as the Holy Comforter.
Locklear points to another strange
thing he says he became aware of in
rereading the parables after he had
written them. That strange and unusual
' Thing is the ability of the Holy SpMt to

absorb the light and power of all spiritual
beings that come into His Holy Presence.
In the final parable in What God Says
Now, an angel delivering a message to
Satan demonstrates the same remark
able power. When the angel arrives
inside the presence of Satan, he
immediately absorbs Satan's light and
the light from 'miles around' the
heavenlies. The text of the parable reads
that Satan's face became dark and
produced no light. Also, when Satan
would not stop protesting the inter
ference of God in his affairs, the angel
spoke a single word and locked Satan's
jaws and blanked his 'mind.'
Readers of that final parable in What
God Saya Now may be astonished at the
size of the angelic messenger who came
into Satan's presence. Locklear says he
prayed earnestly about the size of the
angel. But he says, he was not moved to
make any modification in the angel's size
and appearance. Incidentally, this is the
only angel that is actually described in all
the parables.
It is interesting to note as the parables
in What God Soya Now are read that at
no point does Satan or any of his demon
spirits ever lose their fear and reverence
of God and His Holy Spirit. In one
parable, a demon spirit called God: "The
Most Holy One." Satan rebuked one of
his spirits and reminded him that they
occupied the heaveniies only through the
mercy of the Almighty God. One lead
spirit is heard to communicate to his
fellow spirits: "Know ye not that we
inhabit these heaveniies only through the
mercy of the Almighty God. In a day to
come, He will cast us all into Hell's
prision! We are proud. Lo! We are
mighty! Our master is supreme! But, we
know in the presence of the Holy Spirit of
God. we have no power. Our power is
absorbed by His greater power and we in
His Holy Presence would be blinded by
His magnificence." (Quotation marts
are used here to indicate what the spirit
communicated to hie fellow spirits. In
What God Says New, what the spirits say
is not put tat quotation marks because the
spirits do not speak as men speak, but
they communicate with each other
through a mode of spiritual telepathy.)
In presenting the mapriAceat sight of
the Holy Spirit, the author and compiler
of What Gad Says Now leu the reader
see the Holy Spirit through the eyes of
detaou spirits who view the tight treat a
