AME Zion Church is Set For New EvangelismLURAY, Va. According

to an announcement made byDr. J. Dallas Evangelism, A. M.E. Zion Church, the denomina-tion is making a new approachto Christian recruitment. AnEastern Regional EvangelisticConvocation has been set forMay 12-16, at Mt. HopePlains, N. Y., with 19 con-ferences participating. The area

begins in New England and ex-tends ill the way to SouthCarolina.

Dr. Jenkins said, "We haveregarded ourselves to aid inwinning the world for Christ.We chose for a theme 'BlackPentecost for the Seventies'and we play to make ourdenomination more viable inthis struggle to save men from

themselves."The convocation will in-

clude surveys, seminars and aneducational ministry that will

not only motivate the Christ-like emotions, but will serveto implement the tenets ofthe Christian religion by not

reaching down to aid, butreaching out.

During the period of theprophets, they acted or served

as the mediator or the man be-

tween God and man. WhenGod had a message for the peo-

ple, the message was relayedthrough the prophets and it

was the case when man wantedto reach God.

death, till they have seen theKingdom of God come withpower."

He carried Peter, James, andJohn with Him to a highmountain and was trans-figured before their eyes. Thescene was so amazing Petersaid: "Master, it is good for usto be here; let us make thre*tabernacles, one for thee, onefor Moses and one for Elias."God appeared in a cloud and

overshadowed them. Godspoke from this cloud: "Thismy beloved Son, hear him."When their eyes were open,they saw Jesus only.

The Christian way is not away of confusion, but a wayof simplicity and understand-ing. No one can be left-outand no one will be left indarkness. Instead of lookingat so many different people,looking at so many ways, justfocus your all and all onJesus.

There is a song: "Only alook at Jesus, one look willbring salvation and eternal lifeto win."

Malachi, the last prophetended this communication.?.lan had no way of reachingGod as before after Malachi'sdeath. The priest was the onlymeans of contact but his posi-tion was not that God couldbe reached. From the deathof Malachi up to John th(

Baptist, this span of time isconsidered about four hun-dred (400) years. This periodwas called the Dark Ages.

Man only had the laws ofMoses to guide them. These

laws, many of them or most

of them were misinterpretedcausing man to miss the pointsof God's purposes. The churchwas set up to please those

who took it upon themselvesto run and operate the churchby the way the laws were in-terpreted.

You can say, they formeddenominations. Two we knowof, there could have beenmore. The two so widelyknown are the Pharisees sect

and the Sadducees sect. ThePharisees believed in afterdeath and the Sadducees didnot but both believed in God.Both had chief priests, scribes,and elders. These are they whowere in full command. Any-thing done or anybody didcontrary to their set up paidthe price, and in many in-stances with death.

After four hundred *40%years came John the Baptist,out of the wilderness, nodoubt, looking just like acaveman, preaching repent-ance. What did he look like?Nothing like an elder, a priest,and certainly not a chief priest.

The length of time hepreaches was a short duration.This group of church leaderswere very much displeasedwith his doctrine because itwas a different doctrine fromtheirs. This group formed acoalition against him and herethey came on one occasionno doubt to have a show-

down. John the Baptist sawthem coming from a distanceand called to them: "0 genera-tion of vipers, who hathwarned you to flee from thewrath to come? Bring forththerefore fruits meet for re-pentance; and think not to say

within yourselves, we haveAbraham to our father: for Isay unto you, that God is ableof these stones to '.aise upchildren unto Abraham."

mer Texas Gov. John B. Oonnal-ly won swift Senate approvalMonday as the new secretary ofthe Treasury, making him "thefirst Democrat in President Nix-on's Cabinet.

Without debate and with noobjection, the Senate confirmedConnally's nomination by voicevote.

John the Baptist, hadgained many converts andfriends. He has a setup of his

own which was far differentbom theirs. Then comesChrist. Jesus preached thesame doctrine John the Bap-tist preached: "Repent: for thekingdom of heaven is at hamd."

John the Baptist has beenremoved from the scene. As

many friends as he had and theconverts from his preaching,would have caused a divisionbetween him and Christ. Hismission was accomplished. Hewas making the way straightfor Christ. There are no ob-stacles now between Christ and

us.

Christ called the multitudeand his deciples and said to

them: "Whosoever will comeafter me, let him deny him-self, and take up his cross andfollow me." He said muchmore. He also said: "Whoso-ever therefore shall be ashamedof me and my words in thisadulterous and sinful genora-tion, of him also shall the Sonof Man be ashamed, when Hecometh in the glory of HisFather with the holy angels.""Verily I say unto you, that

Hunger Seen as National Emergency Calling for Immediate StepsIt is hard for most middle-

class Americans to realize thatsome people go hungry in thk.country. But hunger doesexist, despite the indisputablefact that there is "enoughfood available for every Ameri-can to eat well."

What the extent of hunger -

and of malnutrition - is andwhat should be done about it

are explored in a new PublicAffairs Pamphlet, "Hunger InAmerica," by Maxwell S. Ste-wart. The pamphlet is availablefor 25 cents from the PublicAffairs Committee, 318 ParkAvenue South, New York,N. Y. 10016.

"Hunger, and particularlymalnutrition," Mr. Stewartwrites, "is a complex pheno-menon in America. The numb-er ... who are malnourishedhas been estimated at fromten to twenty million. Thereasons .. are varied. Many,undoubtedly most, of the

hungry and malnourished are

poor .. But ..many families,

regardless of income, lackknowledge of the basic facts ofdiet and suffer from poor foodhabits. Finally, at least someof the responsibility must restwith food processors who have

the power and the knowledgeto provide more nourishingfood and fuller information

about it but have failed to do

so."Stewart reports several

telling instances of hungerfound among the poor and theelderly and the very young,and adds: "Since hunger ancmalnutrition are usually as-

sociated with poverty, thehungry children also sufferfrom a number of other handi-caps such as bad housing, in-ferior education, and frequentillness. It is difficult to disas-sociate the,, effects of hungerfrom the effects of these otherhandicapping influences." Fur-ther, as Dr. Charles Lowe,Chairman of the Committeeon Nutrition of the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics, hasexpressed it: "There is no evi-

dence that feeding peoplemakes them smart, but it is in-

disputable that hunger makesthem dull."

Over the years, the federalgovernment has developed two

basic urograms for feeding the

poor. Stewart describes theoperation, and the limitations,of free surplus foods distribu-tion and of the Food StampProgram. In many counties, he

reports, the former is being re-placed of welfare and otherlow-income families to pur-

chase food coupons redeem-able for a greater value at par-

ticipating grocery stores."But not only the poor

suffer from malnutrition. A

1968 Department of Agricul-ture survey - covering all sec-

tions of the country and all

income groups -found that 20per cent of the population had

a nutritionally poor diet.Why should this be so?

j suggests, "should provide not

I only adequate meals for the

| children but also nutritioneducation for the children andtheir parents."

He discusses, too, how theFood Stamp Program can be

strengthened and the need fora greatly expanded schoollunch program, set up in a way

Among the reasons Stewartconsiders are sectional and cul-tural food patterns; recentchanges in eating habits affect-ing a largg part of the popula-tion -- especially coffee breaksand snacks of filling but notparticularly nutritious foods;and the lack of enrichment ofmany foods. Why, Stewartasks, doesn't the food industrydevelop for domestic distribu-

tion - as has been done for

that "would avoid the stigmaof poverty and would assureall children of at least two

nutritious meals a day."As a back-up to better pro-

grams of nutrition education,more uniform and informativetables of all foods is urged.One recommendation thatcame out of the Conferencewas that "food advertisers de-

vote 15 per cent of their bud-gets to public service nutritionadvertising."

Reviewing all the elementsneeded to eliminate hungerand malnutrition, Stewart con-cludes: "Hunger is not a pro-blem that will ... be solved byincreasing food production.That has already been achievedwithout a noticeable diminu-tion of the problem. It is notsimply a matter of educatioa...Hunger is intimately associatedwith poverty, and the causes ofpoverty are deeply imbeddedin the structure of our society.But we cannot wait for a re-stricting of society ... Wehave the food; we must takesimply and direct steos.... .to

see to it that the food is made

available to the hungry. Todo this, we must, indeed,treat hunger as an immediate'national emergency. "

"Hunger In America is No.457 in the Public AffairsPamphlet series, now in its

35th year. The series includesmany other helpful titlescovering social and economicproblems, health and science,family relations, and race re-lations. All pampLlets sell for25 cents each; a list is avail-able upon request.

developing countries - "Low-cost nutritionally balancedfoods - with taste appeal"?

Among the urgent recom-mendations, based to a great

extent on the deliberations atthe White House Conferenceon Food, Nutrition,and Healtha year ago, Stewart sees theneed for some form of guaran-teed income and more ade-quate Social Security benefitsand related services that affecthealth and well-being, such ascomprehensive health care andday care centers.
