“Pray... ’’—James 5:16
1. Prayer is Jesus’ example.
Jesus continually prayed to his
Father in heaven. He said:
“Pray after this manner,” as he
taught us what has come to be
known as the “Our Father” or
“The Lord’s Prayer.”
Because Jesus has taught us
to pray, we ought to do as he
both did and commanded us to
do.
2. Prayer unifies. Prayer
brings us to be at one with God
and with all who live, both
here and hereafter, in God. “As
near as each soul is to God, so
near is he to those, who
through beyond the veil have
passed, yet in God’s life
repose.”
3. Prayer changes things. In
prayer we lift our lives to God
and ask that he will bless the
things we do and what we say
with his own blessedness.
There is no more helpful,
healing exercise on earth for us
to do than obey the command
to pray.

In 1818, a Treatise On
Prayer was published in which
was included a hymn in answer
to the question: “What is
prayer?”
The hymn later became
popularly known by its first
line, “Prayer is the soul’s
sincere desire.” It is instructive
to us today.
Prayer is the soul’s sincere
desire,
Unuttered or expressed,
The motion of a hidden fire.
That trembles in the breast.
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
0 thou by whom we come to
God
The Life, the Truth, the Way,
The path of prayer thyself hast
trod:
Lord, teach us how to pray.

The phrase suggests that Black people
are discriminating against white people.
That is not the case anywhere in this
country although Allan Bakke would like
to believe it is so.
Allan Bakke, a 37-year-o)d white
engineer, was unsuccessful in attempts to
gain admission to medical school at the
University of California at Davis. He sued
the university on his grounds of “reverse
racial discrimination.” That case has gone
all the way to the U. S. Supreme Court.
On trial is not Bakke’s claim for the
right of admission to the medical school,
but instead the legitimateness of
affirmative action anywhere that we
attempt to correct inequities in our
educational system and economic
institutions.
Affirmative action programs help meet
the needs of all people in this country.
For example, one of the inner city areas
where the residents have great health
needs is the Watts section of Los Angeles,
but the reality is that southeast Los
Angeles is medically underserved.
The country as a whole has 80
physicians per 100,000 persons, but
southeast Los Angeles has less than half
that percentage. Nationally there is one
white physician for every 600 white
persons but only one Black physician for
every 5,000 Black persons.
In areas like these the evident need for
minority physicians is well served by
special admissions programs. The same is
true of equal opportunity in jobs and
throughout our educational system.
With the inception of affirmative
action programs came the upsurge of
admissions for minority students to
predominately white schools. These
schools achieved this not by taking away
admissions opportunities from white
applicants, but by increasing the class
size.
Dr. Woodrow Myers, in an article
written for the June 1977 Medical
Dimensions, stated, “The absolute
number of white students attending
medical schools has increased each year
since the affirmative action push began.
While the number of first-year Black
medical students dropped by 70 from
1974 to 1975, the number of white
students increased by 609.
How can “reverse discrimination” exist
when those who claim to be adversely
affected by the process are gaining
entrance into medical schools in
ever-increasing numbers? How can one
individual who has been adversely
affected by the admissions process claim
that it is invalid when the group of which
he is a member has had increasing success
with that process?”
In filing his claim of “reverse
discrimination” in 1974, Bakke said that
he would have been admitted had there
not been a special committee dealing

with the admission of minority students
- students, he argues, were less qualified
than he. However, recent evidence
suggests Bakke would not have been
admitted even if there had been no
affirmative action program.
Bakke had previouriy applied and been
denied admission to the medical school
of liis alma mater, the University of
Minesota. Twice he was denied admission
to the medical school at the University of
California at Davis, with one of the
reasons being that he failed to meet the
university’s admission requirements.
Some medical schools are reluctant to
admit first-year students over the age of
30. At the time of his application, Bakke
was 32-years-old.
The aftermath of Bakke’s initial suit
encompasses more than just the question
of whether he should have been admitted
to the medical school. It questions the
constitutionality of affirmative action
programs nation-wide. Bakke claims that
the Davis special admissions program
violated the equal protection clause of
the 14th Amendment.
No actual trial was held. Rather, the
judge who heard the evidence in the case
ruled that the Davis program did
discriminate against Bakke b cause of his
race and was therefore unconstitutional.
He also concluded that Bakke was not
entitled to an order of admission to
Davis.
As a result both parties (Bakke and UC
Davis) appealed the decision. On
February 22, 1977 the U. S. Supreme
Court accepted for argument Bakke vs.
the Regents of the University of
California.
The Justice Department, after
consistent pressure from the
Congressional Black Caucus and civil
rights leaders, recently filed a brief in the
case which affirms the use of affirmative
action programs to overcome the effects
of past discrimination.
The brief urges the Supreme Court to
reverse the California Supreme Court
ruling outlawing the use of race as a
factor in the administration of
affirmative action programs. It also asks
that the high court vacate and remand to
the state court the question of Allan
Bakke’s admission so that more facts can
be ascertained on the matter.
I am indeed heartened by the verbal
commitments to affirmative action
expressed by the Carter Administration.
The exclusion of Blacks and women, and
the overrepresentation of white males
was once the norm.
Affirmative action programs are
helping to erode that concept, and it is
my wish to raise the level of minority
education to the point where struggles
over quotas and goals are merely a thing
of the past.

The event is in conjunction
with Georgia Peanut Harvest

through Oct. 22 in honor of
Georgia’s leading cash crop.
Home Federal Saving of
Augusta, a division of Georgia
Federal Savings, will
participate by giving away bags
of roasted peanuts free to
visitors at all their offices

Georgia employs over

Blacks
facing
lay-offs
Blacks and other minority
workers who have filled over
90 percent of the 15,000 new
jobs created in shipbuilding
since 1969 may face lay-offs
next year.
After 1978, many shipyard
facilities will have no guarantee
for any work when existing
orders expire - compounding
the nation’s unemployment
problem as shipyard job layoffs
occur. Blacks and minority
workers would be hardest hit,
since many of them have been
more recently hired and would
have the least seniority.

THE DOOMED HOME!
The doomed home; what else
could it be named?
When a family of six
couldn’t be tamed.
The kids were so evil that
they were hurting one
another
Forgetting the golden need
of sister and brother.
Mom and dad weren’t very
much help
For they, too, were slowly
dying step by step.
And so the home is doomed
And the nation has been shot
By a bullet from the mind
whom their single home
they forgot.
