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. Amen

ATTY. HENRY E. FRYE TO RUN FOR
N. 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. "I
would favor the state working
to bring in new industries with
eood paying Jobs, and not advo
cate seeking to sell North Caro
lina as a state with lots of cheap
labor."
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. He is a 1953 graduate of A&T
College and a 1959 graduate of
the law school at the University
of North Carolina.
The practicing attorney for
merly served as an assistant U.
S. District Attorney and also
taught law at North Carolina
College in Durham.
Frye is married to the former
Miss E. Shirley Taylor. The
Fryes have two sons. He la 35
years old.
Frye also said he favors:
? public kindergartens
? bus transportation for city
students
? more special programs for
secondary schools
? special training pioctaaM
for teachers.
