AM A Things are happening in Albina and too many of these things are unwholesome and unhealthy. First of all, prostitution has become an accepted way of life in Albina, in deed if not in word. Young women who could be training for a professional career or a skill job are (wing influenced into a life of prostitution, drugs and other illegal activities. Next, drugs are fastly, if not already, becoming a way of life in Albina. A visit to the state hospitals, correc tional institutions and county correction institutions will confirm this fact. Another ill of Albina is the Isaac Hayes Black Moses', Shaft and Super Fly influ ence. Too many of our young males and females see these "actors" as the heroes of the new Black generation. All of us can understand that each generation of youth goes through a state of hero worship, but these kinds of heroes should be of great corn to the Christian church. Is this the kind of leadership we desire for our coming generation? Is this the kind of life style we want for our children and grandchildren? What is this new influence saying to us who claim to be men of God? We also are faced with an increase of violent crime of all kinds in Albina. The recent wave of murders that is taking place on women in the area is a typical example. In the field of education we are aware of the fact that too many of our children are not motivated to learn the lessons necessary for a sue On Sunday, November 18, 1973, the Mount Olivet Hap tint Church will be observing the Tenth Anniversary of ita Minister and hia family, Rev erend and Mr», John H.

We have witnessed better opportune ties developed for our people over the last decade. We see a larger percentage of our youth attending college and e n te rin g professional life where it counts. We see young couples trying to raise their families so Albina and the world can be proud of them. W ith all this progress how ever, we still have a long way to go. Especially is this so in the area of spiritual and moral values. I believe Al bina is at the crossroad, and the way we will go in the future will depend to a large extent on what the Christian community does. We can sit by and see this community become a south side Chicago, or we can take on the re sponsibility of leadership and make Albina a place where anyone will be proud to live and raise a family.

Hut we must be willing to face the fact that there are too many parents in Albina who are not doing anything to motivate their children toward education. To the contrary, many par ents are helping create cli mates which prevent their children from learning or wanting to learn T h e question again is, "W hat can the church do to bring about a desire on the part of these homes to moti vale their youth toward edu cation?” A t this point you might be wondering why all the nega tive talk about Albina? Isn't this the kind of message we have heard for years gone by? Isn't this the kind of thing we are trying to elimi nate? I can agree that this has been a negative ap proach, but it is for a reason.
