LOS ANGELES — Pointing to
the economic strength of his con
gregation, the Rev. T. L. W illis en
ticed members of his Pilgrims
Hope Baptist Church to invest in
their own Black business enter
prises here again last month.
“ By supporting our own,” Rev.
W illis said, “ we create jobs for
our young, develop business role
models, and insure financial
scholarship assistance for our
needy students."
Rev. W illis spoke last month on
behalf of his ” Adopt-A-Business”
Program, which offers financial
and consumer support to five
church-adopted businesses in the
areas of food, clothing, shelter,
travel and savings.
Last month saw emphasis by
the church on Founders Savings
and Loan Association — one of
the adopted enterprises.
Pilgrims’ turnout at Founders
opened 26 new bank accounts
ranging in vlaue from $100 to
$10,000.
O'Bryant said the AAB Program
is operating so effectively now
that five more enterprises will be
"adopted" by the church this
September.

In the August 3, 1983 issue of
the Observer, Ms. Mattie Spears
wrote a story about Portland's
Stars and Stripes Drill Team and
their need for funds to make a im
portant trip to Canada. In re
sponse to the article and the re
quest for help, the drill team
received two important dona
tions: $100 from Portland Trail
blazer Jerome Kersey and $25
from Ms. Veronica Green.
Thanks, Jerome and Veronica.
The Drill Team sends their
appreciation!
Give me a grateful heart. Lord.
Let me be satisfied.
When days are less than sunny
And plans lie at low tide
For life's a sweet adventure.
That leads to who knows where.
And love was made for sharing.
And hearts were made to care

Grant that my ears remain attuned
To hear the smallest sigh.
And may I lend a gentle touch
To those less sure than I.
Let me remember lessons learned.
And profit from the past.
And may I build a bridge ol dreams.
That shall forever last

Give me a grateful heart. Lord.
For each small favor granted
As years unfold, may I behold
Life still through eyes enchanted
Let me find beauty in all things.
Nor be too blind to see
The goodness in my fellowman.
