I Let’s Thin BY EVA L PERRY Listen—the Lord Joaua Ovist, Hi is our Shepherd! Rood your Bible an think about this fact. “But his bow abode in strength, an the dhns of his hands were mad strong by the hands of the mighty Go« of Jacob: (from thence is thi Shepherd, the stone of Israel)’ (Genesis 49:34). “And when the Chief Shephen shall appear, ye shall receive a crowi of glory that fadeth not away” (1 Peter 5:4). “He shall feed His flock like i shepherd: He shall gather the Iambi with His arms, and carry them in Hii bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young” (Isaiah 40:11). “For the Son of Man is come to save that which was lost. How think ye? Ii a man have a hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep than of the ninety and nine which went not astray” (Matthew 18:11-13). "And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David: he shall be their shepherd” (Ezekiel 34:23). “But Jesus said unto them, A pro phet is not without honor, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house” (Mark 8:4). “But when he saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd” (Matthew 9:38). “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant” (Hebrews 13:20). “He shall feed His flock like a shepherd: I am the Good Shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine—as' the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: And I lay down my life for the sheep. And the other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one Shepherd” (John 10:14-18). "Jesus said, I am the door: by me if any man enter in be shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture” (John 10:9). I am so glad that the Lord is my Shepherd—and Christ in me is my hope of glory. Read your Bible prayerfully and think! f i LAST RITES-Last rttos wart Md In Norfolk for John T.

Anonymous Deacon Calls On Black Co nmunity For Support COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)-Black leaders say the city’s spiraling homicide rate has renewed efforts among churches and other communi ty ceners to stem the tide of violence. Forty-nine homicides have been in vestigated in Columbus in 1W1. Hie city had 93 slayings last year, in cluding l? by early April. “We have no reason to fear the Ku Khn Klan because we’re killing each other,” said Darrell Ayers, deacon of Deliverance Apostolic Church, a predominantly black church on the northeast side. Blacks are accused of killing other blacks in 15 of the 23 cases in which arrests have been made, and most of thoee victims were between IS and M, said Sgt. Raymond Norwood. Statistics this year indicate some ; trends similar to last year: 61 percent of the slayings so far were committed ; with a handgun; 51 percent were drug-related. But this year, friends and acquain- , tances were twice as likely to kill eeeh other, while “stranger killings’’ | have declined, police said. ‘The black people in our comm uni- ] ty need to put away the institution of < pride and pick up the institution of honor," Ayers said. “That pride is where you shoot so meone because they step on your new ■hoes. I’m calling on my church and all the other churches to deal with this situation." Black role models should be teaching respect for elders and per sonal property, and blacks should be teaching their children self-respect and accountability, Ayers said. Deputy Police Chief James Rutter patrol officers would remain on foot in five Columbus neighborhoods, ind be intends to encourage a "park »nd walk” policy for other officers. Except for Cleveland, which as of Friday had 44 slayings, compared to 168 in 1980, other Ohio cities don’t ap proach the body count in Columbus: a Akron has had 11 slayings this rear; it had 18 in all of 1980. eCincinnati police have in restigated 10 slayings this year; the dty had SI last year. e Toledo has had three homicides his year, 37 last year. e Dayton police said they have had 0 slayings this year and had 49 for all 11900.

Foundation officials warned, however, that the date—which show an infant death rate of 9.1 par 1,000—is only provisional, not final. “We hope it’s true, but esperiance teaches us that the provisional data generally show a lower rate than the final figure does,” said Jennifer L. Howse, Ph D., president of the March of Dimes “We should not celebrate a Urge improvement in infant survival until we see the final information." Dr. Howse noted that an actual decreese in the infant mortality rate be attributed to several fac 1986; and the success of repeated public awareness campaigns regar ding the dangers of alcohol and drug use during pregnancy.

About 3,000 people gathered for the inaugural ceremony on the south steps of City Hall on a chilly but sun ny morning.

We are only limited by our imagination.” If anyone can do it, Cleaver can, political analysts said. “Cleaver can set a vision for this ci ty,” said Rich Hood, political colum nist for the Kansas City Star. “That is his unique gift, to articulate a vision across a lot of different interest lines." Cleaver, a three-term City Council member, carefully sidestepped the issue of race during his campaign. He beat Bob Lewellyn, a white businessman and fellow City Council member, with 53 percent of the vote March 36.

Dur ng the election, he garnered con liderable white support in a city of 135,000. During the campaign, Max Skid nore, professor of political science ind dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of dissouri-Kansas City, commented on Heaver’s ability to gain support icross racial lines. “I think the reason Mr. Cleaver Anderson To Speak At Zion Baptist Church Pastor Robert Anderson, a well known conference speaker from In dianapolis, a graduate of Carver Bi ble College and Grace Theological Seminar, will be speaking at Zion Baptist Church for Father and Son Day at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, April 30, and at the morning service on April 31.

The U.S. Supreme Court last year lot stand a ruling that boosted a Judge’s power to order predominantly white suburban schools to accept inner-city black students. The city has no direct involvement in the court-ordered desegregation program. But Cleaver said he hopes the city can help the program suc ceed through workshops, awards for creative teachers, and a proposed new advisory commission that would act as a liaison between the city and the schools. Cleaver’s other goals as mayor in clude making city government more accessible. He also has talked about raising the city’s one percent earn ings tax to provide money for ser vices including more police and trash disposal.

N9143380-60 LET'S SAVE OUR PLANET; WE'LL NEVER GET ANOTHER ONE We have been told of the need for preserving our environment, and the urgency of this is often verified by our own . personal observation. Tew of us are in a position to judge the state of the ozone layer or the so-called global warming. However, particularly in rural areas, we have seen our city or county landfills, and have watched them grow into virtual mountains of trash, garbage, newspapers, discarded furniture, and so on. Mo one has yet figured a way to solve this problem, but* we can do our part in slowing it down, by saving, reusing and recycling; not to mention giving usable items to the poor. Let us pray at our House of Worship for the wisdom to do this, and whatever else we can do to preserve this beautiful world the Lord created for us.
