Mary Parrish was reading in her home when the Tulsa race massacre began on the evening of May 31, 1921. Parrish’s daughter, Florence Mary, called the young journalist and teacher to the window. “Mother,” she said, “I see men with guns.” The two eventually fled and unwittingly became eyewitnesses to the death of hundreds of Black Oklahomans and the destruction of the Greenwood district, a prosperous, primarily Black area known nationally as Black Wall Street. The Nation Must Awake is Parrish’s first-person account, compiled along with the recollections of nearly two dozen others, of what is now recognized as the single worst incident of racial violence in U.S. history.

"Warn the People Like in the Days of Noah" "Warn the People Like in the Days of Noah" is a God-driven, inspired book. The servant of the Lord, Pastor Jones believes as God instructed Noah to build the Ark, he is using his children to compel men, women, boys, and girls of every nation, kindred and tongue to prepare for his return. It reveals how God does nothing without warning his servants the prophets. God''s will is none perish. He is proving his great love by reminding us of Noah and the flood, so we can prepare to the saving of our house like Noah. This time it will be "fire" instead of water. The repeated love of God is seen in his grace, mercy, and longsuffering to us all. He cannot change 2 Peter 3, all his word has to come to pass; but like Noah, no one has to be destroyed if they will come into the ark of safety (Jesus Christ/redeeming blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and our God). His arms are outstretched still. Make haste like Jonah because time is escalating towards the coming of the Lord. Come to Jesus while you have time. Servant, Pastor Mary V. Jones is pastor of Holy Temple Church of Deliverance, 5702 Sellger Drive, Norfolk, VA 23502, continuing to warn the people like in the days of Noah.

As this Preface is being written, the twentieth century is coming to an end. Historians may perhaps come to refer to it as the century of information, just as its predecessor is associated with the process of industrialisation. Successive technological developments such as the telephone, radio, television, computers and the Internet have had profound effects on the way we live. We can see pic tures of the surface of Mars or the early shape of the Universe. The contents of a whole shelf-load of library books can be compressed onto an almost weight less piece of plastic. Billions of people can watch the same football match, or can keep in instant touch with friends around the world without leaving home. In short, massive amounts of information can now be stored, transmitted and processed, with surprising speed, accuracy and economy. Of course, these developments do not happen without some theoretical ba sis, and as is so often the case, much of this is provided by mathematics. Many of the first mathematical advances in this area were made in the mid-twentieth century by engineers, often relying on intuition and experience rather than a deep theoretical knowledge to lead them to their discoveries. Soon the math ematicians, delighted to see new applications for their subject, joined in and developed the engineers'' practical examples into wide-ranging theories, com plete with definitions, theorems and proofs.

Mary Harris "Mother" Jones (1837 - 1930), born in Cork, Ireland, was a prominent American labor and community organizer, who helped coordinate major strikes and co-founded the Industrial Workers of the World.She worked as a teacher and dressmaker but after her husband and four children all died of yellow fever and her workshop was destroyed in a fire in 1871 she began working as an organizer for the Knights of Labor and the United Mine Workers union.She was a very effective speaker, punctuating her speeches with stories, audience participation, humor and dramatic stunts. From 1897 (when she was 60) she was known as Mother Jones and in 1902 she was called "the most dangerous woman in America" for her success in organizing mine workers and their families against the mine owners. In 1903, upset about the lax enforcement of the child labor laws in the Pennsylvania mines and silk mills, she organized a Children''s March from Philadelphia to the home of then president Theodore Roosevelt in New York.
