M em orial Pastor Alfred Lawrence of A11 Nations Comm unity Church invites the friends of Pastor Edgar Jackson to a memorial service to be held at All Nations Community Church, April 7. at 2:30 p.m. Participants include Mrs. Marie Smith, Mrs. Clara Bar tholomew, Joil S outhw ell, Gail Strong, Mardell Wilson, James Kennedy and the All Nations Childrens Choir. Pastor Jackson was pastor of All Nations for 14 years and was active in many com munity projects. He passed away one year ago. too Recent administration ac tions have in themselves not been productive in that area, he charged, although they were catalyzing other posi tive forces towards salvation of the urban areas. A network of services to cities built up over the years by the Democrats is being deliberately d estroyed in order to institutionalize the n e w Republican majority. Young charged. The Atlanta Representa tive, a former aide to Dr. Martin Luther King, inti mated that as a further step in this strategy, returning POW’s, presently receiving so much attention, might eventually be "rounded up by the Republicans" to run for Congress and reclaim that new majority. F O U R T H R E IC H Portland Masonic Temple >- f DAY C A M MOTHERS™} Young scolded h i s col leagues for being "caught napping” by the “crude poli ticisin'' of President Nixon's “Fourth Reich", led by White House chief of staff H.R. Haldemann, whom Young re ferred to by the German title. “Herr”. He labeled the Nixon ad ministration as "government by public relations”, adding that he had always been suspicious of the “Madison Avenue" concept of truth: "A truth concerned o n l y about packaging and selling WELCOME TO ST.

Reverend Edward W ilder of the product, not the con tent. nor the character or the long term result." The brunt of the Nixon budget cutbacks would not fall exclusively on the poor, according to Young. “If you remember back to the Great D ep ression - which has never ended for most of o u r poor -- it wasn't the poor who jumped out of the windows," he re called. The Atlanta minister has a well known record of in volvement in the civil rights struggle of the early 60's, and, in his address, lessons learned in that movement were also brought out. Young said that the efforts towards freedom made by that struggle, which has lost some of its leaders through assassination, have not been wiped out by the election of the Nixon administration. “The people who led the nation in the 60 s will con tinue to lead the nation whether elected or not." he proclaimed. What is bothering people? What problems present them selves most forceably in our Portland metropolitan area? The Reverend C.T. Abbott, Director of William Temple House, to whose door 830 troubled persons came last month, sums them up in three words emotional, psychological and spiritual. And getting down to cases, perhaps the problem which presents itself most often at this center is Ixtw Sell Es teem. A young woman came to William Temple House re cently seeking help. "What is wrong with me? I can’t communicate with people why I can’t even hold a job. I was a failure way back in school.” Dr. Marjorie N. Duxberry, a volunteer professional counselor, soon saw the pic ture an over-protective family which had not pre pared her as a child to stand alone, to be a help instead of a burden to those around her. How could such a depen dent child be expected to meet the demands of school work which require her to work independently and later as a dependent adult, face an impersonal world with con fidence and high self esteem? Some authorities claim that 90% of us hold on to some forms of childish ways, refus ing to face a confronting situation in a mature, inde pendent way. Our society insists upon doing more and more for its children and demanding less and less of them. Teaching self reliance could be society's greatest gift. Temple House is confronted each day with persons who have no job or the wrong job and no high school diploma. One day a bedraggled man appeared before Dr. Osgood at the center. He was out of work and had no money. "When did you have your last meal?" asked Dr. Os good. learning that the man had not eaten for two days, the professional counselor promptly sent him to a res taurant for a good meal. “You can't counsel a person on an empty stomach," he said. How is William Temple House handling these job problems? “They've been baptized by fire and Holy Water, as we say in the church. Once you've come to taste freedom you can never go back to being a slave -- no matter how sugar coated and no matter how promising it may seem." Of course, a client is en courage«! to face up to hia situation in a mature, inde pendent way. Often he is given vocational testing, re ferred to Federal, state, or local agencies for job oppor lunities, or sometimes he his put to work as a volunteer with other vo lu n teers at Temple House or at their thrift shop. “The House Next Door".

Again, it is usually a way of evading the demands of every day life -- an escape or alibi for not facing up to what is expected of us. Many young people who have cast aside moral values stressed in the home and at church are coming to Temple House's imposing gray stone structure at N.W. 20th and Hoyt to ease their inner feel ings of guilt and frustration. “We have much to learn from the Hippie movement." says Dr. Duxberry. "It grew out of rebellion against pre sent day help and depen dency. 'What is it like with out all this help.' they seem to be saying. The Hippies go overboard to get attention. But when they have made their mark they will level off. and perhaps they will have gained much.” In the eight years since Temple House was organized in Portland, 75 clergy and lay persons have taken the 100 hour seminar to assist them in becoming counselors. With Miss Audrey Jones as coordinator, the present staff consists of 14 trained coun selors, 2 psychiatrists and 4 clincial psychologists. Father Abbott strongly be lieves that somewhere within each of us is a core of peace and we are never too old nor too hopeless to find it. Wil liam Temple House is in volved in the day to day work of crisis-intervention. It is a place where miracles happen every day. It was Jesus who said, "Love God. love your neighbor as your self." He also said. "The Kingdom of Heaven is within Bob Harrison - Pastor Reverend Thomas L . Strayhand, M inister ! Sunday S c h o o l 9:45 a jr .. Cnurch Servies 11:00 a jn .
