QwQUNA; -Tff.S ' "SAT4 UARCH8.WS WRITERS FORUM " By GEORGE B. RUSS The continuning story of Inauguration Day at Cox Memorial UJLF.W. Baptist Church it one of mounting interest. Immediately following the 11 o'clock worship service, a delicious, piping hot dinner was served in Cox Memorial Fellowship tfall. By the way, meat loaf, succulent with the juices of chopped green peppers and onions, was one of the meat platters. My sniffers hadn't been wrong earlier in the day. While the guests partook of the steamtable delectabtes, the Inaugural Comrrittee had come alive: Mrs. J.A. Hudson, Mrs. Lillie Murphy, Mrs. J.B. Davis, Mrs. Roceriah Grimes, Ishara Lee, Mrs, (Sadie Avery, Deacon, R-S. Stewart, Marvin McRae, Burnet Jones. Lastly.Mn. Everta Cox HoUoway. My mental fingers began rifling the files of my I 1 ill 'A MRS. EVERTA COX HOLLOW AY memory as I watched Mrs. Everta HoUoway, wearing a friendly hostess welcome mat, weave through the noonday freeloaders. My acidosis was making itself manifest, therefore, I did not pursue the good-cheer lady as she hurried toward the crowd of new arrivals, a delegation of officers and the Emanuel! Hill F.W.B. Choir of Kins ton, had arrived and on the heels of these representatives, Bishop G.D. McNeil, Jr., pastor of the Lillington Star F.W.B. Church and Choir arrived. Haste was the password during the next thirty minutes, however the milling crowd was handled with professional dexterity and anopportunity to talk with Mrs. HoUoway presented itself sooner than I expected. Truly enough we had met before, she is a former member of Oak Grove F.W.B. Church, at Calfax and Simmons Streets, here, she had served as chairman of the Ladies' Usher Board. "I joined the Usher Board when I was twelve years old I joined the church when I was eleven." "Are you a native of Durham?" . , ; v i "No. My home is in Johnson County, but I have been here since the thirties." . . r m I . "As a member of the Inaugural .Committee, what is your expectation regarding the upcoming service." ' - "I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the committee.

'.Because;, of the hinge which Involyes man, all power Is of God regardless 'to the n:aurerfcereoV.;.'irbfep6rtAt to project man Into this power because God has a huge Investment in man. Especially is the idea true due to man's fall, thus causing man to be a victim ot paradise lost. In other words, man enjoyed perfect relationship with the Father, but lost his touch with our God. . Man's restoration to the divine protection of God involve a plan of salvation in the likeness of a man. Therefore, the all wise God sent His beloved Son Into the world being human and divine, to do for man that which an individual can never do for himself. The thing which no man can do for himself is simply gather enough power to save his life. Because of man's insufficient power, a man-like person called Jesus submitted Himself to the total will of God thereby paying the absolute premium for all mankind. The divine protective premium of salvation made possible by God for man is likened unto a man made insurance policy when purchased. In fact, man has to obligate himself thereby getting his name on the roll. The man who chooses to make himself responsible to the necessary provisions found according to the law has protection divine, redeemable through the Son of God. The benefits In protection divine are by no means a rematch on man's part of the Father's concern. . He who hath ears to hear let him hear. The Immigration and Nationalities Act requires the Secretary of Labor to certify that any immigrant coming to the United States for employment purposes will not deprive permanent residents of job opportunities or adversely affect work standards. The 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act apply to domestic workers who receive at least $50 per calendar quarter from one employer or who work a total of more than eight hours a week for one or more employers. 1 "' 1 f ' Scarborough & Harnett TJcmoraf Chapels .-. .i : i ,fi.i cwjii ii:iii'-T,lf!i ) 1H A iM'l n I r i ! no:.v:i:',-!h ')riQf(f-0,irOOIIS',)ir'k'i lt' FUNERAL DIRECTORS "A DIGNIFIED SERVICE IN A SYMPATHETIC WAY" BURIAL PROTECTOR PLAN " .
