A WARNING TO THE PEOPLE Revelation 2:2; 2:9 life and that they might have it HH _ more abundantly." (John 10:10.1 These words of the apostle John were ad dressed to the church and to the people as a warning: I know what you J. L. Fooahee are doing; I Minister of God know them which say they are Christians and are not and hast found them to be liars. To a world that is troubled and in a state of unrest because of sin, God ia still warning the people. I know what you are doing. I know your works, your thoughts, I know your attitude toward your fellow man, your dignity and your falling away from what is right in sight of God. (Deut. 30:19.) "I call Heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, bless ing and cursing: therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy children may live." To do this the people that God haa created must be free from the sirs of the world. Jesus says: "I am come that they might have There is always a time when real life begins. Very often life begins with love. Jesus gives us a new view of man. We are the sons of God who have strayed from His teaching. God has called me to warn the people, to proclaim justice, compassion, sincerity, faithfulness to a shal low and legalistic society. God's eyes are upon the people today. He sees all you do and hears all you say. His judgment is upon the people. I know your works. LET US PRAT Almighty God, who has cre ated the world and filled It with such beauty, fashioning it more perfectly than we often have the power or the wisdom to perceive, open our eyes that we may behold thy fatherly hand In all thy works; give us grace to medi tate on thy workmanship and wisdom. Open our hearts that we may learn to serve Thee with gladness, and our fellow man with love and compas sion. We ask these things In the name of thy Son whose beauty Is everlasting.

C. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Atty. Henry E. Frye of Greens boro announced Wednesday that he will be a candidate in the forthcoming Democratic primary for a seat in the North Carolina House of Representatives. In a press conference at the Hayes-Taylor YMCA, Frye said if elected, he will devote his time and attention to "bridging the gap between the haves and the have nots." i "The greatest single problem facing Guilford County and the nation is not the war in Viet Nam, crime in the street or even liquor by the drink," said Fryo. "Tt is. I believe, the growing differences between the haves and the have nots ? those who i enloy the good things of this American way of life and those, who for various reasons, do not." The young attorney, who polled over 9,000 votes in a bid for the same office two years affo. said he is also in favor of seeking new industries for the state. "I' elected." said Frye.

Frve also said he would work to encourage employers to hire and promote on the basis of merit and ability. "If the em- < nlovment pattern has resulted in i ftcluding or severely limiting the employment and promotion of a minority or class," he added, "then I would urge a re examination of that employment oattern." In his talk, Frye hinted that a grass roots type campaign may be in the making. "Politically," he said, "T want to urge the participation of the poor to the Atty. Henry E. Frye political process ? registration, voting and organization. I want to try to convince them they can have a voice in their govern ment and that their voice can be heard, perhaps even louder than in a street demonstration. Frye is a native of Ellerbe, N. C.
