•Let’s Think!
BY EVA L. PERRY
THOUGHTS ON MOTHER’S DAY
God bleu you Mother or this day,
I have so many things to uy;
You’ve done Just countless deeds
Forme,
Your goodness for our family
But strangers too are not ignored,
For being selfish is deplored.
By one who gives herself, as you,
And teaches in the process, too;
For you’re my Mother and I’m proud
Enough to shout that fact aloud:
But you taught me what humble is,
God’s way to be-all hi—»ing«
His.
And not something we take and keep,
But share with others as we reap;
And I have tried to share you too
For that’s the gracious thing to doi.
For that’s the gracious thing to do.
I tell my friends how great you are,
But guess I’ve never gone so far
As praising you right to your face,
Applauding your sweet loving
Grace.
How often I have heard you say
The words I'll finally speak today
For you are mother-hood divine—
1M<^,?l0u~~thank* to you’re
_ —Selected
“Pal of my cradle days—I’llbe
loving you always-! don’t know any
way I could ever repay Pal of my
cradle days!’’Think about it.
‘‘•Mother’s Day" is really a great
day. Every living human being
forth from the womb of a
woman—yes, all except Adam and
Eye. Our Lord Jesus even cared tor
His own Mother, and did appr *. a
certain dear one to take car eof L<sr at
His departure. Motherhood is God’s
idea for promoting life on this earth.
A mother never forgets her child,
regardless of the circumstances. I
oftentimes say, “Without our
mothers, we could not have others."
Procreation works this way. Only a
female can give birth to a baby.
Mammary glands afford milk after a
baby has arrived. Being a mother is a
long, drawn-out process involving the
height and depth of pure
unadulterated love forever. Amen.
I, Eva Perry, do enjoy being a
mother for all my children, both
naturally and spiritually. I love them.
Read your Bible prayerfully and
think!

’91 Baptist Training
Hosts Jackson. Blake
The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson,
national president of the Rainbow
Coalition, and Dr. Charles Edward
Blake, who was named by Ebony
magazine as one of America’s
greatest black preachers, will both
address the 1991 session of the
National Baptist Sunday Church
School and Baptist Training Union
Congress when it commences in Los
Angeles, Calif. June 11-16.
Some 20,000 Baptists from all over
America are expected to attend this
year’s Congress.
All classes, workshops, seminars
and general assemblies will be held in
the spacious Los Angeles Convention
Center. The theme for this year’s
congress will be “Confronting the
Crises in the Christian Family.”
Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley,
in a welcoming letter to Dr. T.B.
Boyd, III, president and chief

Baptist Publishing Board, stated,
“You may be assured that we will
leave no stone unturned to help make
your Congress successful.’’

Graduates Change Oath
New Work Access Health
CHAPEL H|LL—To address
concerns about universal access to
health care, graduates at the
University of NOrth Carolina at
Chapel Hill School of Medicine have
inserted extra lines into the
Hippocratic Oath.
The graduates recited the amended
version of the oath during the School
of Medicine’s commencement
ceremony last month.
Barry Kitch, 1991 co-class
president, said the change was an
attempt to make the oath more
relevant to the issues facing today’s
medical practitioners.
“We see the United States as
having the most technically
sophisticated health-care system in
the world and able to deliver health
care, but only to those who can afford
it,” said Kitch of Asheville. “It’s a
sad statement that so many can’t get
access.”
Almost all of the 149 class members
rated in April to add the following
statements:
“That in the treatment of the sick, I
will consider their well-being to be of
greater importance than their ability
to compensate my services.”
“That I will work for the day when
ill persons have equal access to basic
lealth care.”
The modified version of the oath
preceded the May issue of the Journal
of the American Medical Association,
which was devoted to universal
access to health care.

LET'S HONOR OUR FLAG
AND THE FREEDOM IT REPRESENTS
It's just a piece of cloth, they say.
Who don't appreciate the way
Our precious banner came to be
The symbol of our liberty.
Its colors and unique design
Were brought together to define
The sacrifice and high ideals
That even now our flag reveals.
Tho freedom It will signify
* u, iwmjj it s allowed to fly
Enables us to live the way
Our founding fathers in their day
Established, using Qod's own laws.
Adapting them to freedom's cause;
So that our flag, the way they planned,
Will wave forever in our land.
