gHE LESSON our Lord Jesus Christ, I appeal to , to agree in what you say, so that ions among you. Be completely loqght and one purpose. For some iily have told me quite plainly, my quarrels araong you. Let me put it m.wwtoMnething different. One anothern follow Peter,’ and st.’ Christ has been divided into to died on the cross for you? Were disciples? I thank God that I did except Grispus and Gaius. No one jWe baptized as by disciples,” (l soitshould be onlyone ^b) Christ ne else died to redeem you, and so rone else on the same level with iptized into Christ^^cceptingv 9 honor someone else as much as i your confession. Corinthains, and now he was glad: If he imd baptized all those he had unto Christ, they mighr inragHw t»at *they ^rere somehow ahead’nf those baptized by. Apollos, who was not an I apostle. No one in Corinth could preach as Paul could; but others could baptize just as well, ahd Paul let them do it. [-“After all whd is Apollos? And who is Paul? We are J, simply God’s servants, by whom you were led to believe. jEach ope of us does the work which the Lord gave him to |4o: T planted the seed, Apollos: watered the plant, but it was God who made the plant grow. The one who plants and the one who waters really do not matter. It is God who matters, because He makes the plant grow. There is no difference between the man who plants and the man who waters; God will reward each one according to the work He hasdone. For we are partners working together for God, aild you areGod’s field. You are also God’s building. . Using the gift that God gave me, I did the work of‘an expert builder atnd laid the foundation, and another man is building on it. But each one must be cqreful how he builds. For God has already placed Jesus Christ as the one and only foundation, and no other foundation can be laid,” (l Corinthians 3:5-11). The divisions in Corinth were not due to any disputes between Paul and Apollos, or a lack of harmony between Cephas and Christ. The cause of division lay in the Corinthians themselves. It was their mental and emotion al condition. lit the opening verses of chapter 3 Paul describes them in t*o ways: (a) They were carnal Literally the word means fleshy. They were concerned about the physical body with** wants and its pleasures rather than with the welfare of the spirit. But carnal means more than physical. There is a carnal mind as well as a carnal body. The carnal person is characterized by pride and selfishness. Some say they were of Paul, but their secret wish wu not so much to honor him as to honor themselves They found importance and prestige in being associated with the great apostle. Others had known Paul, but they took pride in being associated with Apollos, the eloquent orator who hgd stirred the pprigregation and the city more recently; and, (b) The divisive Christians in Corinth were babes in Christ. They needed to grow up As Christians mature, selfishness and pride are replaced by j lowliness, meekness, forbearance. Paul was first to planted the seed Apollo* cam, Ut«r •encrntragerne *and irrigating lcrop grow. He pi v^gent in the ■« sunlight And though God gave both of thei deliver it well.

Twenty persons were interviewed. About half-11-said they did not vote because they “already knew who was going to win.” Only one person said Mayor Gantt should not have run because “he's doing too much of a good job in office...he should quit while he’s ahead." Nevertheless, everyone inter viewed placed the most attention on three candidates: Harvey Gantt, the Democratic incumbent; Dave Berry hill, his Republican challen ger, in the November general elec tion, and Sue Myrick, Gantt’s se ' cond Republican challenger who lost in the primary races. James Baldwin, Gantt’s Democratic chal lenger, was never mentioned by those interviewed. Reflecting the attitudes of the 20 registered voters were two young adults and a middle-aged man. All three said they were not surprised the mayoral race had happened as expected. “I think the primary went as planned, really....the people who were supposed to win won,” said Charles Gill, age 40. Gill, a Gantt supporter, believes the mayor is the best man for the job. “There were Harvey Gantt .“Decent man" Dave Berryhlll .Gantt's challenger good races, especially on the Re publican side, but the Democrats came out, which is good for the city,” he added JoAnne Keene, 29, said: “1 will vote for Harvey Gantt to be reelected. I think he’s doing a good job I just didn’t see there was any strong competition for him in this primary." However, she noted that she did not vote because she “felt it wasn’t an important primary." "Harvey’s a decent Candida te-but I supported Sue Myrick,” said Rodney Stewart, who has lived in Charlotte for seven years. “I like Myrick because she has some of the same views I have. Unfortunately, she was a bit too aggressive-that could have turned off a few voters," he added. Stewart, like Keene, said he did not vote this time because the primary results met his expecta tions On Tuesday, November 5, Harvey Gantt, the incumbent mayor, will face his Republican challenger Dave Berryhill. jP" MUaTtH.lil'i A»T>I ~ ^ vtat*?** WHAT IS THE BEST BUY IN CHARLOTTE THIS WEEK?
