Sunday School Lesson Greetings fellow Bible stu dents! Have you ever experi enced a criais in your life? For so many, life seems to be one crisis experience after another. How do you respond in times of crisis? Are you able to keep going? Are you able to remain true to your God and your faith? I have observed that many church folk do not express faith at all during tiroes of stress. Their expressions include fear, guilt, shame, doubt, anger at God, defiance of God and so many others. Now, all of these reactions are normal, to some extent, and God expects them of us. But, somewhere in the midst of troubling circum stances our faith ought to shine through. I am convinced that so many of us do not keep faith in times of crisis because we had no real faith in the first nlflpe lo our lesson, "Faith In Time of Peril," found in Acts 27, Paul is once again in danger. On this occasion he is on board a ship with 265 others, making his journey to Rome. A great storm arose that was tearing the ship apart. While others paniced, Paul had faith and remained calm. Paul already had his faith before the storm arose, all he had to do was keep it. Oh, the difficulty so many endure trying to work up a faiUi after trouble has come! We may observe here two reasons for Paul's calm atti tude. First, God had warned him! There are two wonderful things that God does for his children. He announces bles sings to come that we may prepare to receive them. He warns us of impending danger in order that we may prepare to be delivered out of it or preserved in it. God is always announcing and warning. He does so in many different ways. But, we must be open to hear God. We must be willing to obey God. Manyof us are ignoring God's voice. Others Of us are to* busy doing our things to hear God's voice. The second reason Paul could remain calm was that God was with him. No matter how much faith we have, we can not prepare ourselves for the death of a loved one. It is always a shocking intrusion into our lives. Because we love, we grieve. During the time of peril, no matter what that peril may be, God is there to hold and keep the person of real faith. So many of us lose our faith because we are trying to hold on to it. We need a faith like Paul's that will hold on to us. We too may be calm and victorious in the midst of seeming disaster if our faith has us and uses our lives for some high cause greater than we are We too may be delivered and preserved if we heed God's warnings and cherish his presence. Hunt To Open Minority Trade Fair Governor Jim Hunt will participate in the dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony of the first statewide Minority Trade Fair in Raleigh on Thursday, August 31. The one-day Fair will open at 9 a.m. at the Scott Pavilion on the North Carolina State Fair grounds. à. iuo tau lias d lui to ΟΪΙβΓ to both minority businesses and other private industries," said Governor Hunt. "It is a practical and reasonable way to expand the market for the products of minority busines ses, and to open up communi cations between minority en terprises and other industries. I hope industries of all types and sizes will take part in the Fair." At the fair the buyers from major corporations will have booths to describe the pro ducts and services they need, so that minority vendors can identify potential markets. Bob Rigsbee, president of the Piedmont Minority Purchas ing Council said "Minority vendors will have face-to-face contact with purchasing directors and managers who can give specific details on how to sell products and ser vices to their respective firms or agencies. Various govern mental· agencies, including the N.C. Office of Minority Busi ness Enterprise, (OMBE), will be on. Çand to explain financial assistance criteria, ς contractual requirements and resources that small business owners can tap." The Trade Fair is sponsored by the North Carolina Asso ciation of Regional Minority Purchasing Councils. The three councils have a combin ed membership of over 250 purchasing agents that repre sent some 200 "Fortune 500" corporations. In 1977 the three councils generated over $22 million in contracts with min ority businesses. In 1977 the combined reven ues of the top 100 black busi nesses in the United States increased by <111.7 million.

Allen St. Presbyterian Hospital Begins Phase ΙΠ Construction Presbyterian Hospital's $38 million rebuilding program takes another step closer to completion with the beginning of Phase III construction which will provide a new food service system and renovated facilities for diagnostic radio logy. The $7 million project is expected to be completed in 15 to 18 months. The most visible exterior evidence of the project will be a 2-story, 48,000-square-foot dietary building with an 8 story elevator tower that will be built adjacent to the exist ing hospital on the 5th Street side of the building. The basement level of the building will be used for Rtnr age. The ground level will house a new main kitchen, dietary administrative offi ces, an employee-visitor cafe teria, and a private dining room. Since the roof of the new dietary building will be on the same level and adjacent to the Pediatric department, a small landscaped sundeck will be built on top of the building for use by pediatric patients and their parents. The dietary building will be attached to the main hospital by an 8-level elevator tower and will tie intothe existing building on each floor at the end of the hospital's main corridor. The two elevators will be used primarily to carry food and laundry, hospital and employees and physicians. Because of the location of the elevator tower, nursing stations on floors two through five will be renovated and relocated. Nursing stations on floor six and seven have al ready been renovated during earlier phases of construction. Another portion of the food service construction will be the renovation and enlarge ment of kitchens on each floor of the hospital. When construction is com plete, a new food service system will be implemented in which foods will be prepared and patient trays assembled in the main kitchen then chil led until they are taken to floor kitchens where hot items will be reheated in microwave uvciia α nu ucuvcrcU LU pdUQll rooms. Presently, patient food is prepared in a main kitchen then sent in bulk con tainers to floor kitchens where trays are assemhled. When the new dietary build ing is occupied, the present hospital kitchen will be reno vated to provide space for new coffee and gift shops. The new shops will be much more conveniently located for pati ents, visitors and employees because the present main kitchen is near the main hospi tal entrance. The renovation in radiology will result in consolidation of all diagnostic facilities in one area and administrative offi ces in another. Presently, the two are mixed together in two separate areas. Space formerly occupied by the hospital's pharmacy will be converted into x-ray and a large patient waiting area will be built to serve the depart ments of radiology and nuc lear medicine. The construction is part of the hospital's long-range reno vation and expansion program which will result in a rebuild ing of the hospital during a period of years.

Hacks Protest Gownuimt Defining More As "Minority" Washington, D.C. - As if there aren't enough problems based on the decades of racial discrimination. Blacks, Indi ans, and His panics are now confronted with the problem of sharing their "minority" definition with women and other groupe, such as poor whites and veterans. "This is causing a great deal of concern," says M. Carl Holman, President of the National Urban Coalition, an organization which combines the efforts of minorities, busi nessmen, labor, local officials, women and religious leaders to improve the quality of life in our ciues. "To suggest that everybody is or was a minority in this country cannot be sustained," Hoiman continued. "To begin all these redefinitions of mino rity is unfortunate develop ment. Blacks feel their gains are eroding." Hoiman was referring to the fact that increasingly, govern ment agencies that administer affirmative action plans and other programs involving minorities are basing their decisions on whether the people in question are "soci ally or economically disa dvantaged" rather than simply on race. As a result, provisions origi nally meant mainly to help Blacks, Indians and Hispanic Americans often benefit, others more. The problems of defining minority groupe and who be longs to them has taken on new urgency, moreover, since the Bakke decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court up held the consideration of race in university admissions. Yet race is not the only disadvantage considered in government "minority" pro grams. Either through legis lation, executive order, regu lation or administrative practice, the concept is being stretched. All of this has stirred tens- φ inns hptwppn raoifll minnnHoc and leaders of women's and ethnic groups. "The statistics show that women are making much less than Black men," said Christ ine Candela, head of the Women's Equity Action Lea gue, a lobbying group in Wash ington. "Blacks and women may be disadvantaged for different reasons, but we are both looking for the same thing - jobs and equal access to education. It makes sense to apply the same solutions. "It is just a little difficult to make a case for women or Italians - I cannot remember any case, like that the police men did in Texas. " he said. Ά
