Dr. C.E. Wells, Sr. As we enter into the Lenten Season (March 3rd - April 18th) we would do well to try to capture the deeper meaning and greater significance of this event in our lives. One popular song writer has decreed that “What The World Needs Now Is Love,” and while I accept this premise I hasten to add...through forgiveness. For with this understanding we come to see the tremendous impact of love on the cross through forgiveness as Jesus prayed “Father Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do”. History records that Jesus spoke seven times from the cross during his cruel and inhumane execution, but of these seven utterances none demonstrates more his concern and outward reach for sinful hummanity. Here we see a man suffering untold agony, his body physically drained and his spirit overwhelmingly subdued. Yet, in the midst of these negative circumstances it was a positive expression of prayer for the well being of his persecutors that fell from his lips. In the Greek translation we are told Jesus prayed this prayer not once but many times...for the soldiers, for the crowd, when nailed to the cross, when the soldiers gambled for his garmet. He kept on praying Father Forgive them... Looking at our lives today -’i B EI tar 1 _ * KL. % 4 ' wBU I .A Ehoto Dy Samuel Alexander Shown above is Bishop R. A.

We find it so difficult, so inconvenient, if you please, to forgive those who have injured us. But what we fail to realize is that until we can genuinely forgive others our sins will not be forgiven. “Forgive us of our tresspasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us”! As we stand under the shadow of the cross some 1976 years later, and visualize the world in which we find ourselves, with all of its negatives; as we see the vast chasms of indifference in our homes, communities, churches, nations and in the world and discern so few expressions of this most positive concept being uttered; as we look at a world worn rife with crimes in high places and discover the low value placed on human life by our Black brothers and sisters who kill each other daily over trivia; as we look for the church to lead us out of this self-imposed delimma and the church remains silent and at best ineffective, we come to recognize that what the world needs now more than even before is the tremendous spirit of Jesus portraying forgiveness through love as He uttered these sin piercing words “FATHER FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.” benefit of Bethlehem Center.

A White House spokesman, asked to comment on all the caucus’s charges, answered: “One of the big problems with inflation is that it hurts everyone. The 12 percent rate of inflation in 1974 is down to roughly half that - and that is benefiting the poor more than WANTED REPORTER/PHOTOGRAPHER FOR NEWS DEPARTMENT.
