WraffiSDAY, FEBRUARY 5. 1975 “IN OUR TIME” THE TRIBUNAL AID PAGE 3 bv Rev. R.M. White 2nd Timothy 1:12...“for 1 know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” * * * We are human beings made of flesh, blood and bones. We are endowed by God, our father, with certain abilities which lend themselves to reason. From reason we are able to commit ourselves to certain convictions. From these convictions we draw foremost conclusions which give us the right to persue a certain course. The course we persue determines whether we are fit or unfit for His kingdom, "on the right track or on the wrong track”; whether we are gifted with human compassion or too insensitive to such attributes as love, tenderness, sympathy, or just plain consideration for our brothers and sisters...Now we know who we are by examination of ourselves. So what is the conclusion of all matter? I Timothy 6:7, “for we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we carry nothing out.” (8) “And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” (9) “But they that will be rich fall into temptations and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which draw men in destruction and perdition.” I call this the “big takeover.” Human wants are never satisfied. This is true of the nature of man. But, as we plunge into the deep chasm of want--want of money, want of pleasure (physical or material), want of power-we are simply satisfying that part of our ego which makes us more materialistic than God-fearing and spiritual. When we do this, and continue in the way of personal vanity, we soon become afraid of all those people who are trying to do the same thing. Because we have become engulfed in the fantasy that “we are superior”. That is the fatal step to “Forgetting God” as the source of our strength and looking to ourselves as the epitomy of totalness. Can you see what’s happening? And...then as sure as day, the things you deemed to be the crowning big moments of your life collapse. You become as you were in the beginning--afraid. For yourself and your vain dreams. Now, where is God? II Timothy 1:7: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of sound mind.” Let us change our attention to a final area of thinking. Let us talk of love. While love is born, so also is frustration discovered and doubt planted. All grow, the good seed of love and affection together with the bad seeds of frustration and doubt, In some persons one of these outstrips the other; in some love grows into confidence and is strong; in some frustration and doubt develop into hate and anxiety, twin cousins which grow strong in their own right. All of these emotions are found in the average child and carry on their struggle to multiply. All MAY multiply, depending upon the life given opportunities for each. Life advances through each successive stage of maturation. The struggle ferments within. The forces of strength, happiness, usefulness, and meaning interact with the opposing forces of sickness, uncertainty and frustration, drifting from goal and ideals to the point of self-destruction. Most lives have conflicting elements of each that are operative during short periods of time. The destructive patterns of uncertainty and sickness may pass quickly with help and good fortune. Without corrective measures, they may be prolonged. Some persons are predominantly one or the other throughout their lives, creative or destructive, healthy or sick, confident or uncertain, filled with love or hate. “1 give you a new commandment that ye love love one another.” Love, itself, within the close circle of family and friends is not a new concept. The search for MEANING is basic in life. The new commandment - that you love one another -- and its fulfillment becomes meaning for the religious person. Whether Jesus was referring to love within the (Christian or Jewish) fellowship or all people everywhere makes little difference in our consideration here. If we are able to love, to be concerned, we will love beyond our own self and our own group. The question is. Why do we care? Why do we love? We love because it is MEANING; caring is MEANING* helping is MEANING.

Ronald Swain has been the University Minister at Shaw University for almost five months and his experiences could easily fill the pages for a best seller. Swain, a native of Macon, Georgia, spent his pre-teen and adolescent years in a Catholic environment before joining the ranks of the Baptist Church two years ago, “I attended a Catholic school and 1 guess peer group pressure and a desire to be in with the crowd forced me to join the church.” Swain said, “I was very religious until I entered Duquesne University (a Catholic supported institution) in 1966 in Pittsburgh. During my early college days I became involved with civil rights activities and be came more political orient ed. Swain attended a Catho lic church in Pittsburgh. “The priest was a young, black man with fresh ideas for the Church,” said Rev. Swain. The priest bought in African dancers, held civil rights meetings in the church and used various forms of music whigh upset his congregation who felt the church should stick to traditional ways, A move to oust the priest led to a confrontation with the Bishop who had the power to remove the priest. “The Bishop was white and it seemed that we (black people) were still trying to solve our problems in a slave-master way”, ob served Swain. That’s when T began to re-examine my purpose in life. I realized that I had gone through a period of acceptance and I was now at a point of questioning. Rev. Swain graduated from Duquesne in 1972 after obtaining a BA in History and a graduate degree in Counseling Education. Since April 1973 he has been pursuing a Master of Divinity degree at the Shaw Divinity School. Swain came to Raleigh in 1972 as a dormitory counselor as NCSU. At Shaw he also serves as Activities Coordinator, a position he claims assists him in developing a rapport with students. Rev. Swain is very excited about young people and the church. Each Sunday he preaches to a capacity congregation of mostly students at the University Chapel and also coordinates various reli gious activities on campus including a radio program on WSHA-FM. “Many of our students are religious in terms of believing in God or a Supreme Being, but they would never be SHAW MINISTER MEETS CHALLENGE - Rev.

Swain spends a good portion of the day talking to students on a variety of subjects varying from financial problems to guilt feelings about pre marital sex. He is convinc ed that every institution needs a counseling service noting that a traditional counseling service does not supply a student’s need for advice or just someone to talk to. A counselor must be able to win a student’s trust and be sincere about helping the student instead of just needing the job.

While out on tour with the Caravans, she was called to the ministry to preach. Later she organized Her popularity began to increase each year and with each concert. Evangelist Shirley’s singing and short sermo- nettes brings the audiences to their feet. Shirley has many very popular LP’s. Some with The Caesar Singers and others with some of the nations best choirs. But, whether it’s with the group or a choir, the proudest day of Evangelist Shirley was the day she received the Grammy Award for a big record that w'as recorded by many other groups. But she came out with the Big One (Put Your Hand In the Hand of The Man). That sold over one million copies. Evangelist Shirley has appeared in 1974 in some of the largest auditoriums in the nation including the Pentagon from this appearance she will appeared abroad in 1975. We care...
