"A PSALM CELEBRATING THE
REIGN OF THE MESSIAH"
PSALM 93:1-5
My Day: A Jewel in
Hamilton Park
wrath of Almighty God. And
He hath on His vesture and
on His thigh a name written,
King of Kings, and Lord of
Lords" (Revelation 19:1116).
REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,
PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH
MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
The beautiful psalm
before us has been labeled
as an enthronement psalm
celebrating the reign of
Jesus Christ on earth. This is
a prophetic psalm that
anticipates the arrival of
Jesus Christ, for He will reign
during the Millennium
Kingdom on earth for one
thousand years. The subject
of Christ's reign is a subject
that many prophets spoke
about as they wrote. The
book of Revelation that
details the consummation
of all times reveals that
Christ is coming in splendor
and glory and that He is
coming in judgement to
inaugurate His Millennium
Kingdom.
His coming is
described as follows: "And I
saw heaven opened, and
behold a white horse: and
He that sat upon him was
called Faithful and True, and
in righteousness He doth
judge and make war. His
eyes were as a flame of fire,
and on His head were many
crowns; and He had a name
written, that no man knew,
but He Himself, And He was
clothed with a vesture
dipped in blood: and His
name is called the Word of
God. And the armies which
were in heaven followed
Him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen, white
and clean. And out of His
mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it He should smite
the nations; and He shall
rule them with a rod of iron:
and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
The brilliant age of the
Millennium is described as
an age wherein righteousness reigns and peace will
prevail, for Isaiah 11:5-9
states: "And righteousness
shall be the girdle of His
loins, and faithfulness the
girdle of His reins. The wolf
also shall dwell with the
lamb, and the leopard shall
lie down with the kid; and
the calf and the young lion
and the fatling together;
and a little child shall lead
them. And the cow and the
bear shall feed; their young
ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat
straw like the ox. And the
sucking child shall play on
the hole of the asp, and the
weaned child shall put his
hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor
destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the
LORD, as the waters cover
the sea."
In verses 1-2, the psalmist
foretold of the marvelous
reign of the Messiah, as He
reigns in glorious power. As
stated in verse 2, "Thy
throne is established of old:
thou art from everlasting,"
through His rule, the whole
world will be firmly established. The majestic might
of the Lord is described in
verses 3-4 as "mightier than
the noise of many waters";
and due to His awesome
power, nature submits to
His unusual power. The raging seas cannot withstand,
nor is it greater than the
power of God.
Having
praised God's awesome
power, the psalmist praises
God's holiness, a wonderful
attribute of God, that filled
His house: "Thy testimonies
are very sure: holiness
becometh thine house, O
LORD, for ever" (v. 5).
May God Bless!
BY DR. J. ESTER DAVIS
Earlier this year, the Dallas
County Commissioners recognized and commended the
Hamilton Park Community
for preserving their historic
"living" legacy. Thomas
Jefferson, President of the
Hamilton Park Civic League,
and a resident for 57 years,
accepted the resolution in
open court with other outstanding residents attending. Hamilton Park is the
first African American development in the City of Dallas.
It is still viable today due
solely to community leadership, raw pride, the first
homeowners and their will
to preserve their ownership
heritage. A resolution was
adopted, presented and
signed by the county judge
and commissioners.
I think a little bit of
Hamilton Park resides in all
African Americans. The resolution captures the essential
fortitude and says it best.
The resolution appropriately
addresses the name; "The
Hamilton Park Community is
named for Dr. Richard T.
Hamilton, a physician and
African American civic leader.
The community was dedicated in October 1953 and formally opened in May, 1954.
By 1961, Hamilton Park was
completed with 742 singlefamily dwellings, shopping
center, churches, a park with
a playground, swimming
pool, tennis court and baseball diamond".
The initial purchase was a
233 acre site for an African
American middle class community. At this time in our
history African Americans
could not purchase land in
certain parts of American
cities. That was the case in
North Dallas. The Dallas
County Resolution highlights
their courage and vision by
stating: "These determined
African American men and
women, some of whom were
returning to Dallas having
bravely served their country
during World War II, ventured to North Dallas to purchase land and nurture a
family-oriented community
of two-parent households,
with shared values, morals
and traditions (a marriage
certificate was required to
purchase a home in Hamilton
Park)". Most amazing, which
is not in the resolution is a
reflection, filled with pride,
from a devoted community
member, who grew up in the
community that there were
on defaults on mortgages in
this entire community.
Paragraph Five of the resolution says "Hamilton Park
has been a jewel in North
Dallas for nearly 60 years.
Hamilton Park is known as a
quiet, stable and responsible
area with dedicated professionals, educators, clergyman, business owners, entertainers, scholars and blue
collars workers.
It has
enriched this historic community through partnerships
and collaborations with several non-profits, private corporations, and with the support of the Dallas Police
Department to provide a safe
community".
And finally the resolution
concludes with the future;
"In these changing times, the
new generations guided by
the teachings of their parents
and mentors, continue to
serve in a variety of community and civic roles throughout Dallas County and the
world".

War Between Apple v. Samsung
By Harry C. Alford
NNPA Columnist
On the surface, the
Apple/Samsung trial that
recently concluded appears
to be a minor win for
Samsung in a long-running
patent war. The U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Federal
Circuit cut Samsung's damages payment from $930 million to $548 million, a substantial reduction in penalty.
The legal reasoning behind
the court's decision has, however, validated some of
Apple's most corrosive arguments for the future of design
patent litigation. Worst of all,
these consequences won't
just be limited to technology
conglomerates like Apple and
Samsung; they will percolate
throughout the economy and
affect businesses everywhere,
particularly in our society's
most vulnerable and underprivileged communities.
For consumers, particularly
minorities, the court's ruling
raises questions about innovation and competition.
Patents are meant to protect
companies that innovate and
create. But the court's ruling
places less certainty on design
patent interpretation, and
opens the floodgates for
increased litigation on design
patents.
In short, the court ruled
that Apple's complaint over
Samsung's infringement of
certain design features (such
as the "rounded rectangle"
shape of smartphones) was
valid, and that this infringement entitled Apple to damages despite the fact that
these patents are irrelevant
to customers' purchasing
decisions. This is an extremely troubling precedent to set,
as it means that basic elements of design, such as
shapes, can be patented and
used as the basis for extremely costly lawsuits.
If companies can patent
something as straightforward
as "rounded rectangles," and
can potentially sue for the
infringer's
profits
even
though the shape is likely
unrelated to the features that
prompt customers to actually
purchase a product, then the
sky is the limit for predatory
litigants. The ramifications
will not just be limited to the
so-called "smartphone wars"
either, but will spread
throughout the economy as a
new breed of patent trolls
race to find businesses to sue
on the pretext of design
patent infringement.
Today, African Americans
own only 5.5 percent of U.S.
businesses 4 percent of hightech enterprises. Many of the
National Black Chamber of
Commerce's 10,000 members
own patents to compete
against other firms that also
hold patents. Becoming
involved in a design patent
war could shutter many
minority-owned businesses.
Even worse, the law now
holds that business owners
found responsible for selling a
product that infringes on a
design patent are also liable
for profits from its sale. This
extreme extension of liability
could cripple a small business.
If a convenience store owner
in an underprivileged neighborhood is found to have sold
a potato chip brand whose
bag violates a design patent,
the resulting penalties could
easily put him or her out of
business. This is totally counterproductive to the pressing
priority of using business and
economic growth to help
uplift underprivileged communities.
This extension of legal culpability also makes no practical sense. Is a small business
owner supposed to validate
that each and every product
he or she sells does not violate design patents? The
answer is obviously no.
Because of the court's
unfortunate ruling, we can
only hope that Congress will
override this damaging interpretation of the law through a
legislative fix. Without this
step, there is a substantial
chance that the very patent
trolls that both the House and
Senate are currently working
so hard to cripple will simply
shift from their current tactics
to design patent litigation. In
fact, if the court's reasoning
stands, design patent litigation will likely be even more
financially rewarding for
unscrupulous patent trolls
than their current practices,
making our problem even
worse.
As the NBCC previously
wrote, litigation costs for
companies sued by trolls can
range from $2 million to $8
million. Minority-owned companies struggling to make
ends meet cannot afford
hefty litigation costs, let alone
the threat of more trolls
knocking on their doors and
the potential of owing total
profits on a product they sell.
The court's unwillingness to
define design patent law
interpretation is damaging to
African-American companies,
the consumers they serve,
and the communities they
support.
There is so much more on
the line in this case than the
$548 million that Samsung
owes Apple. The consequences of the Court's ruling
have the potential to permeate every part of the economy
as design patents become the
default crutch for people and
companies willing to twist the
law to make a quick buck.
Samsung and Apple are
both multi-billion dollar conglomerates that can afford
hefty legal fees as well as suffer the occasional setback in
court. The Black small business owners who work seven
days a week to barely make
ends meet, however, are the
last people prepared to deal
with a flood of unwarranted
litigation. They will truly feel
the brunt of the mistake that
the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit has made,
not the world's biggest electronics firms.
Harry C. Alford is the cofounder, President/CEO of the
National Black Chamber of
Commerce®.

From the Desk of a Laymen: "HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE"
Bro. Gene W. Turner
This article will be displaying
a series of articles over a period
of several weeks. These writings
will be presented in this paper in
order to help someone enjoy and
understand how to really read
the Holy bible with an understanding.
The first thing we must understand is the fact that the Bible is
the greatest book written. In this
book, God Himself speaks to
mankind. The Bible is a book of
divine instructions. The Bible
offers comfort in times of sorrow, guidance in perplexity, and
gives advice for our problems,
rebuke for our sins, and daily
inspiration for our everyday
need.
The Bible is not simply just
one book. The Bible is an entire
library of books covering the
whole range of literature. The
Bible includes history, poetry,
drama, prophecy, biography,
thoughts, philosophy, science,
and
inspirational
reading.
Another thing many of us do not
understand is the fact that the
Bible has been translated into
more than 1,200 languages, and
every year more copies of the
Bible are sold than any other single book. The Bible is so constructed that it truly answers the
greatest questions that all men of
all ages have asked down
through the ages.
Men have always asked questions in their minds: Where have
I come from? Where am I going?
Why am I here? How can I know
the truth?
The Bible reveals the truth
about God, and the Bible also
reveals the truth about the origin
of man. The Bible points to the
only way to salvation and eternal
life, and explains the age-old
problem of sin and suffering.
The greatest theme of the
Bible is: THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, because it explains His
work of
redemption for
mankind. Jesus Christ the son of
God is promised, prophesied,
and pictured in the types and
symbols of the Old Testament.
The Lord Jesus Christ is revealed
in the Gospels; and the full
meanings of His life, His death,
and His resurrection are
explained in the Epistles. His
glorious coming again to earth in
the future is unmistakably foretold in the book of Revelation.
The real and magnificent purpose of the written word of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ. When we
study the Bible there are certain
things the Bible will do for us as
Dr. Wilburn Smith explains
there are seven (7) great things it
will do.
1. The Bible discovers sin and
convicts us
2. The Bible helps cleanse us
form the pollution of sin
3. The Bible imports strength
4. The Bible instructs us in
what we are to do.
5. The Bible provides us with a
sword for victory over sin.
6. The Bible makes our lives
fruitful.
7. The Bible gives us power to
pray.
You do not need a whole
library of books to study the
Bible. The Bible is its own best
commentator and interpreter,
because of the Holy Spirits
indwelling
within
each
Christian. With all of the
instructive helps that you have in
the Bible, you have a whole lifetime of Bible study.
Let us not forget to read our
Bibles daily. May God bless you
REAL GOOD and may He ever
keep you in His loving care.

Serena Williams eases into
French Open semifinals
AP- Serena Williams overpowered Sara Errani to reach the French Open
semifinals with a 6-1, 6-3 win Wednesday. A two-time champion in Paris,
Williams extended her unbeaten record against the 2012 French Open runner-up to nine matches.
It was a stark contrast to Williams' three previous matches, when the 19time Grand Slam champion got off to sluggish starts and lost the opening set.
Williams broke for a 2-0 lead but dropped her serve in the next game. She
saved a break point in the fifth game and held after hitting a 121 mph (195
kph) ace.
Errani played deeper in the second set but was broken two more times.

BODY CAMERA LEGISLATION
NEARS PASSAGE
Continued from Page 1A
"After months of planning, outreach and discussion, we have cleared yet
another hurdle on the way to full passage of body camera legislation in
Texas," said Senator West. "With the passage of the bill from both chambers
now complete the next big step for SB158 is its approval by the governor.
SB158 has been a collaborative effort and we have continued to rely on the
input and energy of the many stakeholders who have helped us to craft what
for now, might be the most comprehensive body camera legislation in the
nation."
Beginning in February, Senator West assembled a stakeholder work
group comprised of law enforcement administration and labor organizations, sheriff's departments, city and county organizations, advocacy
groups, prosecutors and defense attorneys. Using the filed version of
SB158 as a starting point, the group discussed issues including open
records, privacy, records retention, local policies, funding and data management concerns. Senator West appreciates the work of Rep. Allen Fletcher in
guiding SB158 through the Texas House. Senator West worked effectively
with Senate leaders, the Lt. Governor, House leadership and the Office of
the Governor to secure $10 million in state funding for the matching grant
program.

BE KIND! Never speak
harsh words. Be kind
and gentle with your
tongue. For it has
been said that the
tongue can be like a
sword. Think long
before you criticize
your neighbor. Your
tongue can be nasty.
Living is one of the
most beautiful things
in the world. But the
tongue can kill!
