By Rev Waylon R. Wallace H Sunday School Lesson I. Greetings fellow-Bible Stu dents! The subject of our lesson this week is "The Joy Of Faith In. The Lord Psa lms 34 and 146 from the basis for this lesson, with Ps. 146 serving as the text. The Psalmist makes a grand resolve to praise the Lord. His call to worship begins at the right place, that is with himself. This resolu tion reveals to us that the writer realized the existence of his soul. He realized that remained restless without the peace that comes from har mony with God He discovered that this harmony"'required the worship of God. He saw that he must rouse himself for worship. The reason so many are unable to experience the joy of worship is that they are waiting for someone else to do for them what they must do for themselves. Whereas sing ing may be a part of our expression in worship, many require that the church arouse wiviii IV ηυι 9>ΐψ. WlllCI d rc* quire this of the preacher, the prayers or the testifyers. But, no one can enter the door for us. As the.old saying goes, "if you don't put anything in, you can't get anything out." We ought to come prepared for, worship, expecting something to happen and taking action based upon that expectation. The person who knows the joy of faith in God can experience the ecstasy of worship at any place, at any time. Part of the worship expe rience is a visualization, thou gh incomplete, of some cha racteristic or attribute to God. This visualization causes us to immediately see our own per sonal inadequacies and then the frailties of others about us. On this occasion the Pslamist saw how realiable God is and how unrealiable humankind is. We fail each other not because we are so mean all the time, but because we are I so weak. Our bodies die. Our vision and knowledge is short. We are limited by time and space. The Psalmist declares joy mis rhilHrpn of God's faithful Waylon Wallace | oasis upuii tiie characteristics ol God. God is all powerful, working in and through hu mankind to bring about the good he desires for us in this life God is absolutely truthful. How many times have we made promises or committ ments with every intention to keeping and believing that it is in our power to do so. only to find that when the time comes circumstances have been stronger than our will? God is completely truthful because he is all powerful and able to keep his word God is infinite ly merciful. That should really make us happy to know that God looks upon our faults and is willing to pardon us. This is pardon that is based on his own holiness and not our own. There is no one before or after Christ that lived holy enough to save himself, if there was, history would have waited for them to come on the scene and let them die for the sins of all humankind God is otprnal with no beginning and no end. We can rely on him The Psalmist expresses the social concern of God and his church. Those concerns are: the oppressed, the hungry, those wrongly imprisoned, the imprisoned that are wrongly treated while incarcerated, the sick, the disabled, the discouraged, the aged, the orphaned, the widowed. The Lord works through his chur ch to execute judgement and to turn the wicked upside down. At some point in time church members must decide to contribute freely and cheer fully towards these causes through their churches, spend ing more of their leisure time involved in Christian service. Let us eliminate this exchange system that goes into opera tion on Sunday afternoons be cause we did not give as we should have given on Sunday morning The Lord is calling for action.

Cobb, Executive .Director of the Commission for Racial Justice. Dr. Cobb spoke on the awe some exercise of white power in the United States and espe cially in North Carolina and how it was this power that brought on Governor Jim Hunt's decision. He emphasiz ed the point that white power has been the successful efforts of established institutions to maintain me racai status quo, meaning that whiter shall be exalted and al! other colors shall not. White power is the press, the government, the courts, the schools, the col leges, the mercantile and in dustrial corporations-ft-is the - labor unions and the churches. It is like a marsh underfoot for anyone not white. Dr. Cobb stressed that we as blacks "must come and work together and abandon the pre judices found in the laws handed down by the white man." He commented that the only laws that the white man abides by as so exemplified by Governor Jim Hunt's deci sion are to try to keep the black man from progression. Cobb also spoke on the distortions of the story of the Wilmington Ten by the media and how six or more North Carolina newspapers had dif- ! ferent stories all claimed to be based on facts Cobb ended his speech urging that all conti nue rallying for justice.
