Pastor Edgar Jackson to a
memorial service to be held
at All Nations Community

Pastor Jackson was pastor

away one year ago.

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.

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

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".
An amazing number of
persons come to the center

problems.
There is nothing mysterious
about any addiction. 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
