Dr. King
••••••••••a (Continued from page 10.)
Somehow, in God’s own mysterious and
masterful way, God completes and crowns
His works of grace in us. We are always
“confident of this very thing, that he who
hath begun a good work in us will complete
it. "(Philippians 1:6) God did just that with
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
God taught him to love and to serve, and
so to be a king; and then God called him
•just that—Martin Luther King, Jr.!
We, too, are called to be no less than
kings and queens, to five.. .and reign.. .in
God, as we love and serve God’s children.
* ♦
When we serve, we reign,
even as we see God's life.
When we love, all need
for human strife
becomes as nought.
Such are the grace-filled wonders
which God—through Martin's life
has taught. ■

The recent book, Millionairess, by Lois
Rich-McCoy, tells the success stories of a
small group of American women who start
ed with no inherited wealth, and who yet
made it to the enviable ranks of being mil
lionairesses. Dr. Barbara Gardner Proctor
is one of those great heroines. Her advertis
ing firm is one of the most outstanding of
its kind in America. But more enduringly
important is the woman herself—a woman
whose spirit has changed her own life, and
is destined to deeply touch her larger world.
She shares with younger black women
this sage advice:
“Inoculate yourself against the fatal
feminine disease of power discomfort.”
It leads to the denial of power—and the
rejection of that power as unfeminine.
Nothing is more absurd. Power is sexless. It
is also the remedy to effect the cure for
many of our national ills—including sex
ism.
“All of our youths should not view their
color or circumstance as a crutch or cure.
Instead, they must look within their own
minds for the hope of mankind—and then
exercise the dedication and discipline to
bring their dreams into reality.”
Truly, continuing preparation and crea
tive protest have served well for Ms. Bar
bara Gardner Proctor.

Why Cadillac Inspires
Unswerving Loyalty

Cadillac owners and would-be owners are
a unique breed unto themselves. Fuel short
ages and skyrocketing gasoline notwith
standing, they maintain an unswerving
loyalty to their prized “Caddy.” When the
uninitiated ask “why,” every Cadillac
owner probably will give a different answer.
Some maintain that the Cadillac handles
with an ease that has no comparison; others,
that the ride is the quintessence of smooth
ness, and still others, that the Cadillac
exterior colors are of a depth and richness
found in no other car.
Cadillac owners seem to be not only
stubbornly loyal but persistently deter
mined to make converts. Their voices are
not muted in “friendly” discussions about
the merits of various automobiles.
