Remember the day you took the
driver test for your Montana
driver license? You observed
every traffic law. You ma3e all
of your turns from the proper
lane. You watched for trouble
spots on the road ahead. You
were doing a pretty good job. i
you're not driving as Carefully
today, you're cheating yourself
and gambling on a ticket
maybe even a free ride to the
hospital. The Montana Highway
Patrol reminds you that traffic
laws were made to observt
every time you drive.

LUTHERANS BELIEVE:

| "A SCCOAAu DAGh ny DdpbAb"
Nothing could be much simpler
than the Sacrament of Holy Bap-
tism. But when water is applied to
a candidate in the name of the
Holy Trinity your Lutheran friends
claim he undergoes a second birth.
Do you say, That's when reason
departs and superstition enters" I?
If anyone were to deny having
been born because he could not re-
member it, we'd laugh at him.
You're here" we'd say. you
must have been born" When we
see people who are really different,
who are really Gods men and
women, it's no good claiming they
were not born again. Gods life Is
found in them. They have had a
new birth.
It takes a certain maturity and
understanding before a child is
able to understand the process Of
human birth. Is it untactful to
suggest that a person your age
must understand about the life in
God before he can really compre-
hend the second birth in Baptism ?
Call your Lutheran pastor - he
would be grateful for the oppor-
tunity to discuss all this with you.
1t is urgent, because Jesus Christ
said, Except a man be born Of
water and the Spirit he cannot
enter into the Kingdom Of Cod"
When, by the grace of God, you
are born again, your Lutheran
friends know you'll agree, ITS
great to be alive"

its mineral wealth and the re-
wards Of the cheap, or free Afri-
can labor.
After the Second World War
Tanganyika was declared q Trus-
teeship Territory sin under the
British but it was not long before
the winds of change" started
bowling.
This was the birth Of T.A.N.U,
(Tanganyika African National Un-
ion) with its president, DR.. Nyer-
ere. He won the unanimous sup
port Of his people and in 1861 the
so much humiliated country wrig-
gled itself clear of the fetters of
Imperialism with DR.. Nyerere as
her first Premier. However, the
retainment of a British governor
general was an unbearable stink
which was ended on the 9th of
December, '62 when Tanganyika
emerged as a republic with DR..
Nyerere as her President and Mr..
Kawawa as a Vice-President.
Nothing is as blurred as the
work of the missionary. His work
of deculturization, his corrobora-
ton with the imperialists, his pro-
pensity to accord a priority to any
thing western, and his supremacy
has rightfully won him a place
second to that of the imperialist.
The missionary did not only defy
our culture but he was instru-
mental in supplanting it with ex-
otic western cultures which lack
the original roots Of our soil. Like
a wolf in a sleeps skin he tight
ened the grip of the tentacles Of
colonialism in the night but
preached on equality and the right
to self-determination during the
day. Residing in the most beauti-
full places and houses in their To-
calities the missionary hires Afri-
can married servants whom they
pay sometimes two to four dollars
month. Yet the following day
you will see them in the pulpits
preaching: love thy neighbor as
thyself". Indeed such attitudes
impair missionary work, but worse
still, they abuse Christianity.
In my next article I will write
on the Transition era. The Ad-
justive, corrective, and long range
programs intended to give Tan
ganyilIa the luster of the atomic
age.

PILGRIM BAPTIST

Worshippers at Pilgrim Baptist
Church Easter Sunday heard DR..
Floyd Massey preach from the sub
ject: King Of Kings. The text
was taken from Matthew 2S:6. The
capacity throng Of Easter Wor-
shippers heard DR.. Massey brill
iantly narrate the resurrection Of
Christ.
The minister told of how the
three women went to learn that
He was not there HE Was
Risen. He told of the last supper
with the twelve deciples how
he broke bread and poured wine
and asked the disciples to do this
in remembrance of Him. The
human side of Jesus wanted to
avoid the Cross but after praying
in the Garden, He was ready for
the Cross. The minister told the
congregation to talk to God about
whatever their problems and
strength would be forthcoming.
In conclusion, DR.. Massey ad-
monished the worshippers that no
one saw Jesus leave the tomb but
He was alive; the stone was rolled
away. Our King had risen from the
dead! We know He is alive for He
| is alive in our hearts.
