LUBBOCK — The chief officer of
he Baptist General Convention of
Texas, calling the state a spiritual
iontier, has challenged some 2,500
of the denomination’s faithful to ac
cept the duty of Christian service.
Dr. Milton E. Cunningham
Tuesday reminded some 3,000 Bap-
ists they no longer need to go to
oreign countries to witness for
Christ.
Cunningham said some Baptists
fer an excuse that they can not af-
rd to accept mission service. He
said that excuse is no longer accept-
“No longer is it necessary for you
to go (to foreign lands),” said Cun-
lingham, pastor of the Westhury
Baptist Church in Houston. “We
ivake up in the middle of a mission
every morning. How shall we
•espond?”
Cunningham’s challenge to the
iBaptist “messengers in Lubbock
this week echoed the theme of the
nnual session: “Bold churches in
hold mission.
The Nashville-based Southern
Baptist Convention, of which the
Baptist General Convention of
Texas is the largest component,
numbers some 13.2 million mem
bers worldwide as the world’s
targest Protestant denomination.
Messengers, a term Baptists use
to differentiate between a person
ho speaks for himself and a dele
gate who represents a group, have

As some members of the press
and others watched via closed-
circuit television, Cunningham told
the audience Texas residents “are in
pain” from drugs, alcohol, broken
homes, abandoned children, finan
cial problems and numerous sources
of stress. A Baptist, he said, must be
aware of that pain, as well as two
crosses: one a Biblical event, the
other a symbolic reference to a prin
ciple.
Company
to pay for
man’s care
United Press International
HOUSTON — A disgruntled
former employee who held two
executives and two security
guards hostage will receive com
pany financial aid for psychiatric
care and likely will not be
charged, spokesmen said Tues
day.
Loren Bain, executive vice
president of United Energy Re
sources Inc., said the company
would pay “reasonable psychiat
ric costs’ for Raymond Reyes
Garza, 29, of Beaumont, who
was arrested in the Pennzoil
Place North Tower Monday.
A police spokesman said
Garza, a former pipe line worker
for United Energy’s United Gas
Pipe Line subisdiary, had been
“released and not charged. He
was released to a psychiatrist.”
Garza surrendered after hold
ing John F. Brown, John B.
Clopton and two security guards
hostage on the 13th floor of the
office tower using a .32-caliber
pistol and a bag he claimed con-
tained a grenade.
Clopton escaped through a
back door and Brown and the
guards were released about noon
after two hours at gunpoint. No
one was hurt. Brown is president
of United Gas and Clopton is a
vice president of United Energy
Resources.
Wearing a T-shirt emblazoned
“Be Patient,’ Garza told re
porters the incident was his pro
test of “the system,” which he
said caused his parents suffering
and made him fear he would
never be financially secure.

HOUSTON — Experts attending

imericans must give up their ex-

“Times have changed and Ameri-
ans simply cannot go on demand-
ag more and more from work while
roducing less and less,” said Dr.
ames O’Toole of the University of
ialifornia.
“We can now feel the breath of

tieir heels.”
Pollster Daniel Yankelovich told
be Third Biennial Conference on

ans accept part of O Toole’s thesis,
bat the United States is becoming a
jnd of want.
Yankelovich warned Americans
nay be on the verge of losing “that
arest of luxuries, the privilege of
tability.” He said 51 percent of
imericans believe the nation’s fu-
are prospects are very dark.
O’Toole suggested a reevaluation.
T suggest that the problem is that
imerica has an inappropriate phi-
osophy and organization of work for

“The current system breeds de
mands for more money, benefits

the same time ensures that less

juality and quantity of their work.
The threat of being fired doesn’t
fork,” O’Toole said, “because wel-
re, unemployment compensation,
wdstamps and other sources of fn-
»me provide a cushion that turns
irief spells of joblessness into va-
ations.’
Yankelovich said Americans

reconcile themselves personally and

bars movie
n Boston
United Press International
BOSTON — The author of the
best-selling novel “Freedom Road”
called the cancellation of the
made-for-television movie based on
fbe book “outrageous” and “ridicul
ous.”
The management of WBZ-TV de
eded not to air the two-part film
about the post-Civil War South be
cause of racial tensions in Boston.
The decision was reached after
community leaders — black and
white — previewed the movie.
Novelist Howard Fast, in a tele
phone interview from his Beverly
Calif, home, said, “The ac
tion is so out of keeping with what is
happening in the world that at first I
though it was a joke.”
Fast said the $7 million movie,
adapted from his 1944 book, “has
nothing in it that can incite racial
violence.”
