"God will supply every need. ’’—Phil. 4:19
/. The "problem ” of sup
ply is non-existent. It is ficti
tious because, as the words
of our text remind us, “God
will supply every need.”
There is, then, more than
ample supply. In the story of
the feeding of the 5000, there
were enough “leftovers” to
supply or provide snacks for
a small army.
2. The real "problem’’ is
the human one of distribu
tion. Some of us —indeed,
perhaps, most of us —do not
see ourselves rightly as
“channels or instruments of
God’s grace or supply.”
When God’s “supply”cotnes
by or near, we grab for our-
draper soem
One of the best-loved
prayer hymns among evan
gelical Christians is C.D.
Martin’s “God Will Take
Care Os You.” It speaks of
the providential care and
protection of God, as He
provides for our every need.
Be not dismayed, whate ’er
betide
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love
abide,
God will take care of you.
Through days of tQil when
heart doth fail,
God will take care of you;
H hen dangers fierce your
path assail.
(From the Atlanta Constitution)
Some 3,000 people marched
to the state Capitol Monday
in honor of the 50th birthday
of slain civil rights leader
Martin Luther King.
“We have now completed
the agenda,” King’s widow,
Coretta Scott King, said at the
Capitol. “Without the march,
somehow the agenda is not
complete. But we have now
completed the agenda because
we have marched for
freedom.”
The march to the Capitol
grounds was the culmination of
five days of activities in King’s
memory. Similar observances
have taken place on King’s
birthday, Jan. 15, every year
since his assassination in
Memphis on April 4, 1968.
At the Capitol, Gov.
George Busbee read a
proclamation declaring
Monday Martin Luther King Jr.
Day in Georgia. However, the
crowd greeted Busbee’s
remarks with chants of
“Holiday Now.”
One of the objectives
emerging from the days of
workshops and activities this
year has been a decision to

you should, in God’s sharing

3. In the plan and economy
of God. there is more than
enough for all. One of the
great hymns of the Church
acknowledges God’s grace
and goodness and then says:
“My soul, do thou thy part
...” That must be our
universal prayer in order that
God may supply for all our
every need.
God will take care of you.
Nothing you ask will be
denied,
God will take care of you.
Refrain:
God will take care of you
Through every day
O ’er all the way
He will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

3,000 march
‘for freedom’
push for a national holiday on
King’s birthday.
Busbee said he was aware of
pledges by Sen. Edward
Kennedy and President Jimmy
Carter to work for a national
holiday, but the governor made
no further comment on the
matter.
Efforts to get King’s
birthday declared a state
holiday have failed for several
years in the Georgia legislature.
However, both the state House
and Senate unanimously
adopted resultions Monday
honoring King’s memory.
The House observed a
moment of silent prayer at the
request of Rep. Calvin Smyre,
D-Columbus, head of the
legislature’s Black Caucus.
Speaker Tom Murphy,
D-Bremen, concluded the
recognition of the slain civil
rights leader with an “amen.”
The House ..resolution,
introduced by Rep. Smyre,
cited King as “America’s chief
exponent of the philosophy of
nonviolence in a time when the
advocates of violence were on
the increase.”
The Senate resolution
honoring King was sponsored
by Sens. Julian Bond and
Seventh-day
Adventists get
black president
(From Washington Post)
The North American
Division of the Seventh-day
Adventist Church has elected
its first black president, even
though some venerable
documents of the church
caution against racial
integration.
Charles E. Bradford, 53, was
named recently to head the
550,000 Adventists in the
United States and Canada. He
succeeds Neal C. Wilson, who
became head of the worldwide
church earlier this month.
Bradford’s selection in the
closed-door session of the
policymaking General
Conference Committee,
meeting at the church’s
headquarters in Takoma Park,
was said to be unanimous. But
the group’s 61-member
nominating committee had
more difficulty in agreeing to
recommend him for the post.
Scheduled to make their
recommendation at 10 a.m.,
the committee was unable to
do so until nearly 4 p.m.
The Seventh-day Adventist
Church vegetarian diet, observe
Satruday as the sabbath and
believe in the imminent return
of Jesus Christ. The church
founded in the latter part of
the 19 th century.
Although the theologically
conservative group has no
creed other thaif the Bible, its
members study the writings of
an early guiding spirit of the
movement, Ellen G. White. Her
writings were assembled
posthumously into a
multi-volume “testimonies for
the Church.”
In one of her testimonies,
dated 1908, she urges an
accommodation to local racial
customs for church evangelists
in the South. “We are not to
agitate the color line question
and thus arouse prejudice and
bring about a crisis,” she wrote
Horace Tate, both of Atlanta,
the two black members of the
upper chamber.
Despite the resolutions
“honoring the memory of one
of Georgia’s most illustrious
sons,” black leaders apparently
will continue to be frustrated
during this legislative session in
having a legal holiday declared
in Georgia for King.
However, in an address to
the crowd at Monday’s Capitol
rally, Atlanta Mayor Maynard
Jackson pointed to the
closed-down City Hall building
nearby and said, “That
building is closed today. It is
closed as it has been every Jan.
15 since 1974, when all of us
came into office.
“It is an official city holiday
to remind us to continue an
accelerated struggle,” Jackson
said. He urged that listeners
back up their petitions for a
national holiday with political
strength by registering voters.
While blacks represent 35
percent of the state’s
population, Jackson said, only
28 percent are registered to
vote.
A state holiday in honor of
King should be declared
because it’s right, Jackson said.
“But it should happen because

in an essay entitled
“Proclaiming the Truth.”
“Let the work be done in a
way that will not arouse
prejudice which would close
doors now open for the
entrance of the truth,” she
added.
In another essay on “The
Color Line,” she wrote: “The
colored people should not urge
that they be placed on an
equality with white people...
The work of proclaiming the
truth for this time is not to be
hindered by an effort to adjust
the position of the Negro
race.”
A spokesman for the church
said that White’s views on race
reflect the social pattern of her
day, but and are not
considered valid for today.
Some black leaders within
the church maintain, however,
that White’s influence has been
a factor in the church’s
attitude toward blacks in both
church and society.
Blacks make up about 20
percent of the membership of
the church in North America.
An. estimated 90 percent of
them are members of all-black
congregations.
An ad hoc conference of
black clergy and teachers in the
church last spring charged that
the Adventist “church
structure has systematically
excluded blacks from crucial
organizational positions.”
Efforts of black leaders to
organize the black churches
into their own regional
jurisdictions known as unions,
repeatedly have been denied --
most recently last October.
Blacks maintain that leaving
the black churches in the
predominantly white unions
dilutes the strength of black
members and denies them
leadership opportunities.
Bradford has been associate
secretary of the church’s
General Conference since
1970.
we have the political might,”
he said. “Register every single
black voter in the state - then
we will have a holiday around
the state.”
State Rep. Calvin Smyre,
D-Columbus, chairman of the
Black Caucus in the General
Assembly, read a House
resolution honoring King. He
also restated the black caucus’
position in favor of a state
holiday honoring King.
Leslie Harriman. Nigerian
ambassador to the United
Nations and chairman of the
U.N. Special Committee
Against Apartheid, told the
predominantly black crowd
that “American blacks and civil
rights struggles have served as
an example to the world” in
the elimination of oppression
and racial discrimination.
Singer-composer Stevie
Wonder told the crowd that
King worked to make us “free
from hatred and racism” and
to allow people to have
opportunities to get decent
jobs and housing.
He also said, “Since I’ve
been here, I’ve heard a lot of
talk. But the only time that
talk means anything is if you
get up and do something about
it.”
