I "PRAYER" IS A CHRISTIAN'S GUN THE HONORABLE FRANCES MCARTHUR CUMMINGS HAS ALREADY ADVISED f "HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF CRIME" To The Editor: As I listened to the T.V. News about committed crimes, which included students killing students in schools, I reflected my memory on the Headlines . Bill Calls for Prayer in Schools" published in the Fayetteville ObserverTimes dated 2-16-94 by Mark Stenniford. /-V I * "Raleigh - State Rep. Frances Cummings says that along with longer sentences and more prisons, the General Assembly should consider a 'cost-free' approach to solving crime?PRAYER ... 1 he Scripture says: "Thou Shall Not Kill" Cummings said. "The Governor wants to speed up Executions. If we teach a child 'Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself ? "Unity" ? then we won't have to build the extra prisons." Cummings said she wants to ensure that students use the time to Pray. "What I hope to encourage is for teachers and administrators to take an active role in teaching the meaning of Prayer and encouraging students to participate in Prayer " Cummings speaking from behind a desk decorated with mementos imprinted with Bible Verses and Inspirational Religious Messages said she noted that religious expression abounds in the General Assembly. "We open the General Assembly each day with prayer; we have a Prayer Chapel," Cummings said. "People need a Supreme Being. Today, with low morals, a lack of Christian values, it's important for us to send a message that here is a most important strategy in keeping people from crime, making them better people." ^The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings' House Bill #202 entitled "Prayer in Schools" (Moment of Silence) was over-whelmingly supported and gained approval (passage) under the Republican Majority Leadership in the NC House of Representatives. TRUE FACTS: The True Members of the Republican Party believe in the "Power of Prayer." They will even 'Denounce' a U.S. President whenever guilty of speaking with a "Lying Tongue." Unfortunately, the majority of members of the Democrat Political Party will approve spoken words of a "Lying Tongue" and declare "NOT GUILTY." A Lying Tongue is an abomination to the Holy Word. "Speak the Truth and Speak it Ever, Cost it What it Will. For He who Hides the Wrong he Did, Has Done the Wrong Thing Still." A Multitude of people of this world say prayers and sing gospel songs whenever murder is committed. Therefore, they should "Train Up a Child with Christian Principles" and Teach children to "Pray a Prayer" for guidance to live on the "Holy Path of Life" at their homes, schools, churches, etc. Then, Criminal Deeds will cease to Exist, and we will live in a Peaceful Atmosphere. Adults and children will live by the Golden Rule and the Ten (10) Holy Commandments. We need "Claimed" Ministers, Lay-Leaders, Lay-Speakers, etc. to "LIVE" according to the Holy Word and not to ONLY pronounce the published words of the Holy Bible. Too many of them are as the "Devil on the Pulpit." The Holy Scriptures say, "The Devil is the Father of Lies and the Author of Confusion." Such "so-called" Pastors, etc., during General Elections, "Shelter Under" the name of a "Political Party" instead of the "Holy Word." They usually "Conceal the Truth" and "Mislead their Members" on "How to Vote" for a Candidate. During the 1996, NC General Elections, Democrat Donald Bonner, whose Elections Campaign Cards stated he is a Lay-Leader and Lay-Speaker in the I United Methodist Church, did have Radio Ads with "LIES, LIES, LIES" against The Honorable Frances McArthur Cummings. Bonner can Never, Ever Surpass Cummings' "Successful Legislative Achievements" during his Life-time on Earth. Bonner also cast his vote for 'Liquor by the Drink.' He did not cast his vote fori Rep. Dan Blue to be Speaker of the House of Representatives. Dan Blue traveled to Lumberton at Bill Sapp Recreation Center to support Bonner. Also, Rep. Blue is a Robesonian and an African-American. Rep. Blue lost by "one" vote to succeed himself as Speaker of the NC House of Representatives. Bonner did vote for Rep Jim Black, a Democrat. Oh, he is not BLACK. That is his name. Rep. Jim Black is a white man. Republicans did vote for Rep. Dan Blue. LEGISLATIVE WRAP UP. I read The Robesonian 4-25-99 where State Rep. Ron Sutton, Native American Indian, voted "NO" twice. Bonner voted "YES" on the same legislation. The Robeson Delegation Team in the NC General Assembly is being divided. All of their Minds are not in one accord. Nevertheless, Ron has achieved more for his people than Bonner. Bonner "has not achieved anything" for his people. The Afro-Americans need a Cultural Center. There can never be a State Law to prevent Criminal Acts from occurring. Without the "Christ Spirit" indwelling in people, crimes will forever be committed. Many people need their minds to be "Healed from Hate, Fear, and Anger" which can DESTROY themselves and others. Lord Jesus said from the Cross, "My PEACE I Leave With You" even though] nails were pierced into his hands. My Conclusion: There is Beauty in this World. We have to "Strive to be Honest and Be Heavenly Blessed." ' Pray a Prayer for Peace, Health, and Prosperity: Let Us Pray .. . Lead us Heavenly Father lead us, O're the Journey we are on. Guide and Guard us, never leave us, For Thy Guidance is Divine. In Thy Heavenly Realm (Kingdom) We shall Be. As we do Thy Will on Earth. Peace Be Unto You. AMEN. Yvonne Maria Leow
