"Pursue peace with all peo-ple, and holiness, withoutwhich no one will see theLord"

(Hebrews 12:14). Thisscripture speaks to the coreof who we are as Christians.It seems as if it's too much forus, but it's not. If we say thatwe follow Jesus Christ, thenthis is what is expected of us.We should be the first onesseeking out peace when situ-ations appear to be chaotic.Why? Well, we want our soci-ety to get a glimpse of Christliving in us.

Then the next question toask is, "What is holiness?"This means that we are sepa-rated unto God therefore, liv-

ing a life that pleases Him.How do we please God? Weplease God by our faith whichis living according to Hisword. Without these two ele-ments, it is difficult for thenon-believer to see God in us.

Does this mean we live aperfect life? No. We all missthe mark, but we strive toplease God in all that we do.Just like a children shouldobey their parents. However,they don't always listen totheir parents. Yet, this doesnot mean that their parentsno longer loves them. Thesame can be said for ourHeavenly Father, He still lovesus.

Therefore we mustremember that as believers inChrist, we are "the light of theworld." Our light should notbe hidden. We should let ourlight shine before people sothat they will see our goodworks that are done in Jesus'name. Can you let your lightshine this week? I know I will.

Amen? Amen.

BY CONGRESSWOMANEDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON

As a nation of immigrantsit is important that weacknowledge and celebratethe history and contribu-tions of all of those who livein our country. Each year,on the 5th of May, thosewho trace their ancestralhome to Mexico recall a cru-cial event in the life of thatnation.

On that day in 1862 in thesouthern coastal city ofPuebla, an outnumberedMexican Army decisivelydefeated French troopsunder orders from theircommander, Napoleon III,to invade and conquerMexico. The defeat of theFrench troops was a monu-mental victory for Mexico.

According to a number ofnoted historians, if theFrench had not been defeat-ed at Puebla they wouldhave joined forces with theConfederate Army in theirwar against the Union. Infact, some historians argue

that the defeat of theFrench by Mexican troopsled directly to the UnionArmy's victories at the bat-tles of Gettysburg inPennsylvania and Vicksburgin Mississippi. PresidentLincoln would not havebeen able to sign theEmancipation Proclamationin 1863 if the French hadbeen victorious, they say.

On Cinco de Mayo exu-berant celebrations will takeplace in North America andin countries throughout theworld where large numbersof people with Mexicanroots live and work. Therewill be parades, concerts,lectures, worship servicesand carnivals. In someschool districts in NorthTexas, school children of allraces will wear traditionalMexican dress to class andperform traditional Mexicandances.

And while Cinco de Mayowill be a great day of cele-bration, we must never for-get the historical signifi-cance of the event and howit changed the history of thisnation and its people. Wemust be mindful that it isnot simply a day for thosewith ties to Mexico to cele-brate, but is one in which allpeople can find meaning.

I wish everyone a veryhappy Cinco de Mayo. I amhopeful that all of us willunderstand its rich meaningand appreciate the wonder-ful legacy that it representsfor all Americans.

WASHINGTONCORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON (NNPA) -Keeping her promise toensure, "both strength andfairness, for the protection ofboth the needs of victimsand the rights of all" in thecriminal justice system,Attorney General LorettaLynch traveled to BaltimoreTuesday to meet with cityofficials, law enforcementand community stakeholdersto encourage closer tiesbetween police and the resi-dents that they are sworn toprotect.

The same day Lynch wassworn-in and just a few hoursafter Freddie Gray's funeral,dozens of people, mostdescribed as teenagers andstudents, looted shoe storesand burned local businessesand police vehicles. On April12, Gray, a 25 year-old Blackman, was chased and arrest-ed by police officers. While inpolice custody, Gray suffereda severed spinal cord and acrushed voice box and died aweek later. Gray's death andviral cell phone footage of hisencounter with police,sparked nationwide protests.

Last week, the JusticeDepartment dispatchedVanita Gupta, the head of theCivil Rights Division, andRonald Davis, the director ofCommunity OrientedPolicing Services, toBaltimore for a series ofmeetings with faith and civicleaders and communitystakeholders to discuss thebest path forward to mendthe fractured relationshipbetween Baltimore's policeforce and the majority Blackcommunities that they servein city's poorest neighbor-hoods.

On Friday, BaltimoreState's Attorney MarilynMosby filed charges againstsix Baltimore police officersthat ranged from second-degree assault to "depravedheart murder."

During a meeting withMaryland United StatesSenators Barbara Mikulski(D) and Ben Cardin (D) andCongressmen ElijahCummings, John Sarbanesand Dutch Ruppersberger,Lynch said it was inspiring tosee people come together toreclaim the city.

"We're here to hold yourhands and provide support,"said Lynch to the group thatalso included William H."Billy" Murphy Jr., the Grayfamily's attorney, and Rev.Donté L. Hickman, Sr., thepastor of Southern BaptistChurch, whose communityresource center and seniorhousing complex weredestroyed by fire while stillunder construction duringthe riots on April 27. She alsovowed that the JusticeDepartment was there tohelp the city move forwardand work to improve theBaltimore Police Department(B.P.D.).

Lynch then met with PoliceCommissioner Anthony Battsprivately and then with asmall group of police officerswho she called the "the hard-est-working police officers in

America."Lynch added: "To all of you

on the front lines, I want tothank you. You really havebecome the face of lawenforcement."

Last fall, the JusticeDepartment partnered withBaltimore officials to addressconcerns about abuse in thecity's police department.

"I have worked on thisissue for years," saidStephanie Rawlings-Blake,the mayor of Baltimore. "Wecan't afford to fail. The rela-tionship between police andthe community is like a mar-riage."

Lynch also met withBaltimore United, a commu-nity group that advocates forpolice reform, and otherswho had lost loved ones topolice violence.

Earlier this year, PresidentBarack Obama's Task Forceon 21st Century Policingmade a number of recom-mendations that includedencouraging law enforce-ment officials to "establish aculture of transparency andaccountability in order tobuild public trust and legiti-macy" and to design "com-prehensive policies on theuse of force that includetraining, investigations, pros-ecutions, data collection, andinformation sharing."

The report also recom-mended that police,"acknowledge the role ofpolicing in past and presentinjustice and discriminationand how it is a hurdle to thepromotion of communitytrust."

But the letter from GeneRyan, the president of theFraternal Order of PoliceLodge #3 in Baltimore, toMosby may produce anotherhurdle to building communi-ty trust there. Ryan wrotethat "none of the officers areinvolved are responsible forthe death of Mr. Gray" andthat Mosby should recuseherself from the case,because Murphy, the Grayfamily's attorney, donated toher campaign and worked onher transition team.

Lawyers for Edward Nero,the Baltimore police officerwho was charged with policemisconduct, second-degreeassault and false imprison-ment, filed a motion to get acloser look at the knife offi-cer's found on Gray. City andstate codes both contain lan-guage that say switchbladesthat open automatically, withsome pressure applied to abutton or spring, are illegal.

Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.), chair of theCongressional Black Caucus,wrote a letter to Ryan callinghis request for a special pros-ecutor in the case "illogicaland unfounded in the law."

Butterfield continued:"You have damaged the goodreputation of your organiza-tion in writing the letter,releasing it to the media, andmaking accusations thatamount to nothing morethan propaganda intended tointerfere with the properadministration of justice."

New AG Meets withBaltimore Leaders, Police

and Activists

Cinco de Mayo

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH

MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH

Psalm 91 has been labeledas messianic, a psalm portray-ing the wonderful life ofChrist. The message of thispsalm is that the believer hassecurity and protection onlyin God. No matter howextreme the test of a believermay be, he or she has safetyonly in the protection thatGod offers. From a salvationperspective, we have eternalsafety and security only inJesus Christ, for St. John 14:6states, "Jesus saith unto him(Thomas), I am the way, thetruth, and the life: no mancometh unto the Father, butby me." Yes, eternal securityis found only in God's Son, forSt. John 10:28-29 says, "And Igive unto them eternal life;and they shall never perish,neither shall any man pluckthem out of my hand. MyFather, which gave them me,is greater than all; and noman is able to pluck them outof my Father's hand."

In verses 1-2, the psalmistunfolds his confidence in thefact that security and protec-tion is found only in trustingin the most High God. In fact,the Lord is the believer's onlymeans of security and he isconstantly being protected byGod. The source of thepsalmist's trust is the Lord, ashe states, "He that dwellethin the secret place of themost High shall abide underthe shadow of the Almighty. Iwill say of the LORD, He is myrefuge and my fortress: myGod; in Him will I trust." Anybeliever whose trust is in theLord, will experience God'speace, regardless of hisplight, for Isaiah 26:3 states,

"Thou wilt keep him in per-fect peace, whose mind isstayed on thee: because hetrusteth in thee." Verse 4 ofIsaiah 26 further states,"Trust ye in the Lord for ever:for in the Lord Jehovah iseverlasting strength."

In verses 3-8, the psalmistdescribes the various ways inwhich God delivers a believer.No matter how extremelydangerous the situation maybe, God protects a believerwho places his or her faith inHim. What amazing securityis found in verses 5-7: "Thoushalt not be afraid for the ter-ror by night; nor for the arrowthat flieth by day; Nor for thepestilence that walketh indarkness; nor for the destruc-tion that wasteth at noonday.A thousand shall fall at thyside, and ten thousand at thyright hand; but it shall notcome nigh thee."

A believer is completelysafe and finds comfort only bytrusting in God. There aremany believers who can testi-fy to the fact that Psalm 91has been a source of consola-tion while the believer wasencountering a dangerous sit-uation in life. The psalmiststates in verses 9-13 that noharm or danger can befall achild of God whose trust is inGod. Even angels are used asprotecting agents of God tobelievers (Hebrews 1:14) asstated in verses 10-11: "Thereshall no evil befall thee, nei-ther shall any plague comenigh thy dwelling. For He shallgive his angels charge overthee, to keep thee in all thyways."

The psalmist concludes thispsalm in verses 14-16 byasserting his confident assur-ance that God will deliver himfrom his trouble: "He shallcall upon me, and I willanswer him: I will be with himin trouble; I will deliver him,and honour him. With longlife will I satisfy him, andshew him my salvation" (vv.15-16).

May God Bless!

"THE PSALMIST'S CONFIDENCE INGOD, HIS REFUGE

EvilEvil is the work of the devil,

Evil lives inside of very unhappy people.Evil will cause you to do bad devilish

things toward your family, Friends, andneighbors to be jealous of each other.

Evil causes anger, Fighting, Killings, and world wars.

Evil causes people to say hurting words to each other.

Evil is another word for HATE!Evil is just another name for satan.

Arum said Pacquiao's campthought he would be allowed theanti-inflammatory shot because hehad gotten them during training andthey had been approved by the U.S.Anti-Doping Agency. But he saidpaperwork filed with the commis-sion didn't check the injury box, andthe Nevada commission ruledagainst the request for a shot.

"The ruling made tonight affectedthe outcome of the fight," Arum said.

Nevada Athletic Commissionchairman Francisco Aguilar saidPacquiao's camp wanted shots thatincluded lidocaine, a drug thatnumbs the affected area. But he saidPacquiao's representatives didn'tcheck the injury box after the weigh-in Friday, and the commission had noway of knowing how serious theinjury was or what it could be treatedwith.

"I have no proof an injury actuallyexists and I can't make a ruling basedon what they're telling me," Aguilarsaid.

Still, Pacquiao thought he hadwon the bout, largely on the basis ofa few left hands that seemed toshake Mayweather.

"I thought I won the fight. He did-n't do nothing except move outside,"Pacquiao said. "I got him manytimes."

There were no knockdowns, andneither fighter seemed terribly hurtat any time. Pacquiao landed proba-bly the biggest punch in the fight inthe fourth round - a left hand thatsent Mayweather into the ropes -but he wasn't able to consistentlyland against the elusive champion.

The fight was a chess match, withMayweather using his jab to keepPacquiao away most of the fight.Pacquiao tried to force the action,but Mayweather was often out of hisreach by the time he found his wayinside.

"He's a very awkward fighter, so Ihad to take my time and watch himclose," Mayweather said.

Mayweather fought confidently inthe late rounds, winning the last two

rounds on all three scorecards. In thefinal seconds of the fight he raised hisright hand in victory and after thebell rang stood on the ropes, pound-ing his heart with his gloves.

"You're tough," he said toPacquiao, hugging him in the ring.

It was vintage Mayweather, even ifit didn't please the crowd of 16,507.They cheered every time Pacquiaothrew a punch, hoping that he wouldland a big shot and become the firstfighter to beat Mayweather.

But a good percentage of what hethrew never landed. Mayweatheroften came back with straight righthands, then moved away beforePacquiao could respond.

"I thought we pulled it out,"Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said."I asked my man to throw more com-binations between rounds. I thoughthe fought flat-footed too manytimes."

Ringside punch stats showedMayweather landing 148 punches of435, while Pacquiao landed 81 of429. The volume for Pacquiao was alot lower than the 700 or more heusually throws.

Five years in the making, the fightunfolded before a glittering crowd ofcelebrities, high rollers and peoplewho had enough money to pay forringside seats going for $40,000 andup. Before it did, though, it wasdelayed about a half hour becausecable and satellite systems were hav-ing trouble keeping up with the pay-per-view demand.

They paid big money to watch twosuperstars fight for their legacies -and in Pacquiao's case his country -in addition to the staggering paydaysfor both.

Pacquiao had vowed to take thefight to Mayweather and force himinto a war. His camp thoughtMayweather's 38-year-old legsweren't what they once were.

"He is moving around, not easy tothrow punches when people movingaround," Pacquiao said. "When hestayed, I threw a lot of punches.That's a fight."

But Mayweather moved well. Hisonly real moment of trouble came in

the fourth round when Pacquiaolanded his left hand and then flurriedto Mayweather's head on the ropes,but he escaped and shook his headat Pacquiao as if to say he wasn'thurt.

In the corner, Mayweather'sfather, Floyd Sr. kept yelling at his sonto do more. But Mayweather wascontent to stick with what was work-ing and not take a risk that could costhim the fight.

"I'm a calculated fighter, he is atough competitor," Mayweathersaid. "My dad wanted me to do morebut Pacquiao is an awkward fighter."

Mayweather said that his fight inSeptember against a yet-to-be-determined opponent would be hislast.

"I'm almost 40 years old now. I'vebeen in the sport 19 years and havebeen a champion for 18 years. I'mtruly blessed."

Mayweather is also very rich, get-ting 60 percent of the approximately$300 million purse, depending onpay-per-view sales. The live gatealone was more than $70 million,and the bout was expected to easilysmash the pay-per-view record of2.48 million buys set in 2007 whenMayweather fought Oscar De LaHoya.

But while the frenzy over the fightpushed up tickets to 3-4 times theirretail price the week of the fight,prices dropped dramatically as thefight neared and some tickets werebeing resold for less than face value.

Boxing fans called for the fight tobe made five years ago, when bothmen were in their undisputed prime.But squabbles over promoters, drugtesting and a variety of other issuessidelined it until Pacquiao beat ChrisAlgieri in November and immediate-ly launched a campaign to get thefight made.

When they finally got it, it wasn'tthe fight it might have been fiveyears ago. But it was enough to settlethe question that boxing fans hadasked for years - who would win thebig welterweight matchup of thebest fighters of their time.
