TEN COMMANDMENTS OF DISCIPLINE Ten Commandments of Discipline was first started in the First Congregational Church on the corner of South jnd Manley Streets, collected by Mr. and Mrs. Richmond Davis, Jr. each Sunday after church. The purpose of this money was to establish a fund to help suport the Black Colleges and Universities, while at the same time, grow spiritually. Each. Sunday, this money was placed in an envelope. Church members could indicate the disciplinary principles they used if they desired. The program, which lasted a little over a year, was discontinued because of a building project, but was very successful. The amount collected waS-$3,Q00 approximately, The church recently approved the establishment of an emergency fund for members of the church family and the local community. A portion of the fund will also be used to make an annual contribution to Black colleges and universities. The emergency fund will be financed by a program called the TEN COMMANDMENTS OF DISCIPLINE. A committee has been appointed by the Church Council to oversee the operation of the emergency fund. BLACK COLLEGES CONTRIBUTION At the end of each year, the emergency fund committee will recommend to the Church Council an amount of funds to be donated to Black Colleges from the emergency fund. Upon approval, a check will be drafted to the United Negro College Fund or to institutions as stipulated by the Church Council.

Projection Each college campus produces one product manufactured with student labor. Students would not only learn how to make something, but earn money to maintain themselves and their needs, while in college. In turn Japan, China, Germany, etc. can make products for the American consumer, certainly our educational institutions can learn to match their ingenuity and skills. Let’s Get To Work NOW! Churches Asked To Hay0R*fen Commandments Of Discipline Sunday There are many reasons for different types of sermons. We believe there is ample reason why a sermon on the 10 Commandments as applied to the above program is significant at this time. We believe the church administrators believe in the total worth of a community and its constituents, including the spirit the soul and the body. It is with this in mind that we look forward to our biggest institution to carry out this project. The CAROLINIAN is grateful to Mr. & Mrs. Richmond Davis and Rev. Donald Ingram, pastor of First Congregational, Mr. Lawrence Wilson & the committee that compiled information, and the Evergen Committee of Donzell Hunter, Mary Marable, Smith, Maggie Thomas* and Lawrence Wilson.
