DURHAM, NORTH CAROLINA ¥*rw^ A ' By DONALD LOVE X When war is mentioned, unconsciously we think of destruction at its worst. Our minds are focused on deathy. physical and mental disorders that stem from the aftermath of wars. Each war is worse than the last but in each war death, physical and mental disorders are the result. Have we ever stopped to meditate on the causes and the reasons why we have war? It has been said, our first war was a spiritual one fought in heaven. My understanding about this first or spiritual was was between the angels in heaven. Heaven was divided into three groups and each group's leader was called arch angel. Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer were these leaders. For reasons unknown, Luci fer turned to Michael and Gabriel inb attle and Lucifer was pitched out of heaven. Lucifer being an angel or part spirit possessed power; not physical power but spiri tual power. Here on earth he moves about in the spirit - an evil spirit. He was around during the creation. I would imagine. He appeared unto Eve, Adam's wife, and sole her on knowledge. Knowledge was the thing God warned Adam not to seek and if he did, the consequence was death. The second war was be tween Adam and Eve's sons, Cain and Abel. The story Is, Cain killed Abel. We can not rul« out knowledge in this conflict. One had the know ledge and the know-how and picked the right time. The other did not. The momentum of war continued to mount. This isn't what God wanted but it turned out to be what the world was stuck with. To mention but a few patriarchs God worked with in time of wars, Gideon, who has a large well-trained army, went into battle against another well-trained army but was out-numbered. God hutted in. He told Gideon to neth Wilson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry N. Wilson of 1303 Manteo St., Durham, has ar rived for duty at Glbbsboro Air Force Station, N. J.

They had to drink a certain way. All who drank" this way were put- on one side and those who did not were put on another side. Those who drank this certain way were only three hundred. This was a great let down for Gideon because numbers were necessary. He did as God ad vised and won this battle. Joshua, another patriarch, was in battle and time was not on his side. He told God he needed more daylight and asked God to stop the sun. God did the Joshua won this battle. God spoke to the prophets telling them to warn the kings to go into battle or not go. The kings who would not listen to the prophets lost their battles. The kings who listened won their battles. If God was interested in winning and losing, He is also interest ed today. The victors would go against nations to take pos session of their valuables, and in many cases, humans were included. All wars were moti vated by sin (not excluding the spiritual war). How can we avoid wars?. We can turn'from sin to God. This does not apply to some but all. If every man, woman and child refrained from evil and turned whole-heartedly to God, our spears, arrows, guns, warfaregases, and wea pons of all descriptions would be turned into plow shares. This is a promise, a vow and covenant God made , with man. The solving is not up to God but to man. When man learns to leave his sword and ahfidd down by the river side, he will study wars no more. The only way this can be achieved is to love God with all*" our hearts, mind, strength and souls and to love our fellowman as we do our selves. Then we can fully boast to the devil as Christ did in the wilderness, "Get Thee Behind Me Satan." Hk Hf B BALSLEY Airman Lorenzo V.

Bowdoin Afro Society Plans Intern Program "BRUNSWICK, Maine - Members of the Bowdoin College Afro-American Socie ty have proposed a program to assist ghetto youth and have enlisted the support of their fellow students. On a recent Tuesday ap proximately 240 students at the College fasted for at least one meal to raise funds for the proposed project. The members of Alpha Delta Phi Fraternity voted to give up all three of the day's meals in support of the program. The Afro-American Socie ty has presented its plan for a Brotherhood Internship Pro gram to the College's Student Council, which has given the proposal its formal endorse ment. Designed ' "to motivate minority students to develop positive attitudes towards themselves, their future possi bilities and further educa tion," the program would be gin with five members of the Society working with young sters through aocial organiza tions in the urban Boston area. During the summer a six week program would be held on the Bowdoin campus with planned courses in Afro- American History, F.ngH«h t Math, and a Seminar on minority communities. A variety of extra-auricular ac tivities would also be planned for the estimated 15 partici pating youngsters. The six weeks at Bowdoin would be followed by another two weeks in the youngsters' community, during which time an evaluation of the ex perience and skills obtained in the program would take place. The proposal, as presented by Robert C. Johnson, Jr. '7l its Coordinator, states that "the product of the program, in the long run, would be « corps of young minority men who have some grasp of the needs of the community |nd of their role in meeting those needs." fession.
