Union Baptist Still Seeking Improvements I
By G.R. Wright
Last December a drive was
initiated to renovate Union
Baptist located on the comer
of Greene and 11th Streets.
The Rev. L.T. Hogan, pastor of
the church, said a lot has been
done but there is still much to
do.
The drive was originally
started by John H. Thomason,
city councilman. “I was just
driving down the street on
day,” Thomason said, “and I
noticed the church really
needed painting.”
Thomason’s original idea
was to donate the paint to the
church if the members would
paint it themselves. But, after
learning that almost 200
gallons of paint was needed for
the outside alone, he knew he
needed help.
So, in December 1975, in
the name of downtown
revitalization, Thomason
solicited funds from Augusta’s
businessmen. “The response
was adequate,” Thomason said.
Accoixling to the Rev.
Hogan, the outside took
approximately 180 gallons of
paint and the inside 106
gallons. “We originally thought

REV. JAMES TATE
A Man With A Mission
By Rev. Elliott S. Norman
The Rev. James Tate, pastor
of Beulah Grove Baptist
Church said in a recent
interview that his mission is,
“to raise the church as high as
God will let me and to glorify
the name of Jesus.”
Born in Grovetown, Ga. the
Rev. Tate said he has always
known that he would be a
minister. “I’ve never had any
other ambition,” he said.
The Rev. Tate grew up in
Brooklyn, N.Y. and he received
the B.T. degree from the
American Baptist Theoligical
School. The Baltimore Bible
College also honored him with
a honorary degree.
“I saw a need for more
religious activity in Augusta,”
the Rev. Tate said, “and with
my experience in the ministry 1
set out to aid in the
development of this activity.”
Presently, he said, there was an
“increasing need” in Augusta
for more educated Black men.
The Rev. Tate said, he felt
more people should be coming
to the church. But, he asked,
are they coming in search of
God or for a change of luck.”
They find out that the answers

atSiu,
the outside would take about
40 gallons,” he said. The last
time the outside was painted
was in 1957 and the inside in
1971.
The Rev. Hogan also said
Thomason’s original idea
wouldn’t have worked because
of the size and the nature of
the congregation. “We have
about 54 members on roll with
only about 30 participating
regularly,” he said. “The ones
that financially support the
church are elderly,” he added.
The painting was done by
private contractors.
“The project isn’t over yet,”
the Rev. Hogan said. Presently,
the church is in the process of
installing carpet
Future plans include
revamping the church’s
electrical wiring, purhcasing
another organ, repairing
windows and installing air
conditioning, according to the
Rev. Hogan.
Both the Rev. Hogan and
Thomason claim the church is
the largest wooden structure in
the United States.
According to the church’s
history, the facility was
are not in big government or
wealth and after trying these
extremes, they revert back to
the church,” he added.
“Racial tension has eased in
one sense and grew in
another,” he said. “For
instance we didn’t feel
embarassed to go to segregated
schools or ride on the back of
busses because we accepted
these things. With the passage
of the equal rights amendment
we were relieved of having to
ride on the back of buses and
so forth. But, tension grew
because we realized that these
things were only tokens and we
still lacked equal opportunity.”
However, the Rev. Tate said,
we should be thankful to God
because we do have the right to
vote and “there is power in the
ballot box.”
The Rev. Tate believes that
the youth of today are not
inspired enough. “It’s not a
problem of the schools,” he
said, “it’s a home problem.”
“Parents are not preparing
children for school. Instead
they are giving youth
everything they want because
they believe that this will make
the youth love them. Youth
actually resent parents for this.
Give them the things that are
necessary for their welfare and
not all that they want. It is
through these means that you
inspire youth,” he said.
The Rev. Tate said, that his
church sponsors a bible school
every summer. “This is
important,” he said, “because,
first it teaches the youth about
the bible and secondly, it keeps
them off the streets and out of
mischief.” The Rev. Tate said,
his only regret was that the
church didn’t have the means
to continue the program the
year round.
The Rev. Tate exemplifies
the church leader whose
strength and personality
centers around God. “The will
of God,” he said, “will be done
on earth in the hearts of men
as it is done in heaven.”

HUMAN GOALS:
The Advancement Os Human Dignity
By Rev. Elliott S. Norman
Throughout history there
have been periods in which we
have fought wars destroying
other men’s homes and and
sometimes our own homes, as
depicted by the riots of 1965.
We steal, cheat, lie, and use
justice as a means of helping
our friends and destroying our
enemies.
My question is why? The
only answer that I can think of
is to accomplish our goals. In
accomplishing our goals we
sometimes forget justice, which
can be broken down into two
categories; the “just way" and
the “unjust wav
“THE JUST WAY”
When we accomplish
something by hard work and
patience and not by stealing,
cheating, lying and destroying
others, we have applied the
“just way”. In justice there is
no room for evil only for good.
“THE UNJUST WAY”
When we accomplish
something by lying, cheating,
or destroying another human
being, we have applied the
“unjust way” which is the evil

way.
if you want a million dollars
you could go out and rob Fort
Knox. Or you could choose
“the just way”.
Seeing that the robbery
seems easiest and less time
consuming, we revert to what I
termed “the unjust way”,
simply because it seems the
easiest way to accomplish our
goals. We don't realize that
even if we do succeed we have
not accomplished our goal,
because in stealing the “million
dollars” we have lost a portion
of ourselves. We have lost our
self respect. Most of all, we have
lost our ability to be happy.
I think my point can best be
made in this short verse:
“BLIND?”

Rev. Ike Headlines Gospel
Music Workshop
The Rev. James Cleveland,
(the internationally known
gospel recording artist),
founder and president of The
Gospel Music Workshop of
America announced the
convening of his organization's
9th annual convention August
22 through 27th in Kansas
City.
The Rev. Cleveland stated
during his announcement that
the aims and goals of this
year’s convention are to
perpetuate and promote gospel
and spiritual music and to
build a university somewhere
in the U.S. for all phases of
Black Music. New ideas and
techniques will be formulated
through classes and workshops
throughout the six day
sessions.
Musicals will be held nightly,
climaxing Friday night August
27th with a mammoth national
mass choir musical. Featured,
will be new songs by talented
artists, over 2,000 voices and a
100 piece orchestra.
Highlighting the confab will
be the great Dr. Frederick
Eikerinkoetter (better known
as Rev. Ike). He will deliver the
keynote sermon at the
consecration and communion
service on Monday, August
23rd.
The Rev. Cleveland recently
won the “Best Male Vocalist’’
and “Best Album” at the
Ebony Awards held in
California.
The Rev. Cleveland also
stated that the Gospel Music
Workshop of America is a
convention for the entire
family. He said, “Guided tours
have been planned including
special events for members of
the family who are not
involved in the convention.
There will be youth workshop
classes with special caperoned
events such as swimming,
tours, sightseeing, etc.”
Mr. Edward M. Smith,
Executive Secretary of the
organization, said he feels this
year’s convention will be the
greatest and best in their 9 y- J
history, due to the fact »'<at
Rev. Cleveland is and has been
the main attracjon on The
World’s Greatest Gospel Show,
we have had great participation
from the membership and I am
certain that support will
continue.”

blind to truth for my tongue
speaks only lies.
I am blind to death for I
have never died. Most of all I
am blind to life for I have
never truly lived.
After reading this and being
logical about it, I ask you, how
can a man know happiness
with a million dollars if he has
never known unhappiness and
the sorrow of being broke.
It is truly here, in the unjust,
where we deter from being
human beings and become
something to which mankind
has not thought enough of to
give a definition.
Let us stand tall as men and
fight for justice for it is the
only way that any nation, so
conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure. Also, because
it is within these boundaries
that we will find Human Goals:
the Advancement of Human
Dignity.
which ahs been a big hit this
past year all over the country
playing in such cities as
Ph iladelphis, Memphis,
Baltimore, Cleveland, New
York, Washington, D.C.,
Oakland, Houston, Dallas,
Chicago, Atlanta, just to name
a few.
We have been playing to
sell-out, tum-away crowds and
therefore, Rev. Cleveland and
The Gospel Music Workshop of
America, Inc. have developed a
National following and many
of our followers not only those
from our chapters but fans
who love gospel music that
have seen Rev. Cleveland
perform in many of these cities
will be at our convention to
join the organization and to see
a great performance by him.
I am confident that every
phase of the convention will be
positive and successful. Smith
said.
The hosts for this year’s
convention will be the Kansas
City Chapter of The Gospel
Music Workshop of America -
Ms. Doris M. Johnson is the
Chapter’s Chairman. The
convention will be
headquartered at the
Muehlebach Hotel (Phone:
