Chapter 10, Section 1 (Pages 302-305) Time of Turmoil

Read the passage below then complete the worksheet

After World War I, Americans were suspicious of foreigners and people with different ideas. Americans were particularly worried about Bolsheviks. Bolsheviks created a Communist government in Russia in 1917. They wanted workers to over-throw capitalism. Capitalism is an economic system based on private property and free enterprise. Bombings by anarchists in 1919 also frightened Americans. Anarchists believe there should be no government at all. Americans’ fear of these radical ideas led to the Red Scare. During the Red Scare, the government arrested anarchists and people suspected of being Communists, or “Reds.” Many of those arrested were quickly released because there was not enough evidence against them. Some of the foreigners were deported, or forced to leave the United States. The trial of two Italian immigrants showed Americans’ fear of foreigners and radical ideas. Nicola Sacco and Bartholomew Vanzetti were anarchists but had no criminal records. They were accused of killing two men during a robbery. Many Americans demanded that Sacco and Vanzetti be put to death. Although both men said they were innocent, they were executed. After World War I, wages were not rising as fast as prices. These conditions led to labor unrest. However, many Americans were against unions and strikes because they believed Bolsheviks and radicals were behind them. As a result, many working Americans would not join labor unions. Two strikes in 1919 failed because the public did not sup-port them. A strike by steelworkers ended after the strikers were accused of being “Red agitators.” A strike by police officers in Boston for the right to form a union angered many Americans. Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge opposed the strike as well. After the strike ended, all of the Boston police officers were fired. Tensions also increased between whites and African Americans. In the South, more than 70 African Americans were lynched in 1919. In the North, many white people resented African Americans for taking factory jobs. After an African American youth was killed by whites in Chicago, a riot broke out that left dozens of people dead. Many African Americans looked to the ideas of Marcus Garvey to help deal with the racial tensions. Garvey did not believe that whites and African Americans should integrate. Instead, he argued that African Americans should create their own country in Africa. In 1914 Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association. This organization promoted racial pride and helped African Americans start businesses. By the 1920s, Garvey was an important leader in the African American Community.

1. intercessory weapons

“god is looking for somebody, a wall builder; somebody who can prevent calamities and avert disasters through importunate tears of supplication,” writes father oforka. “such wall builders attend the divine council and, like spiritual attorneys, passionately argue their cases in order to achieve their purpose.”

an example of an intercessory warrior is moses in the old testament. “moses acted as a bridge between god and his people. that was an office that god called him to when he appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. he therefore respects both moses as his faithful servant and his office of mediation between him and his people,” father oforka writes.

how does intercession play a role in our lives today, as the spiritual battle rages on still? “we must go back to our roots and repossess the right of attending the divine council through the ministry of intercession,” father oforka explains. we intercede through prayer, petitioning for others before the throne of god.

2. the name of jesus 

“there is something in the name of jesus that is awesome and fascinating,” father oforka writes. “hence, the quiver of the intercessory cannot be complete without it.”

saints paul, peter, and john write extensively about the power of the name of christ. no one can make demons subject to him without the name of christ.

in the early church, justin martyr wrote, “for every demon, when exorcised in the name of this very son of god – who is the first-born of every creature, who became man by the virgin, who suffered, and was crucified under pontius pilate, who died, who rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven – is overcome and subdued. but though you exorcise any demon in the name of any of those who are among you – either kings, or righteous men, or prophets, or patriarchs – it will not be subject to you.”

3. the power of praise 

praise is a underrated arrow in the quiver of a christian. “it’s important that intercessors should learn the power of praise,” writes father oforka. “a group of prayer ministers may gather for hours praising god and soaking the air with divine waves. . the father cherishes it when his awesome deeds are recounted and his person is addressed accordingly.”

what does this have to do with spiritual warfare? “at those times when the thick clouds of evil begin to gather, when the smoke of satan begins to blur our view and choke our breath, intercessors might opt to descend into the bright cloud of praise, invoking these awesome names, instead of a mournful prayer-fight.”

heaven can’t resist soulful praise of the faithful – and satan can’t stand to hear god praised here on earth.

4. the fire of the holy spirit

the fire of the holy spirit has a two-fold purpose in the life of the spiritual warrior. “it could be used as both an offensive and a defensive weapon,” father oforka explains. “it is like the word of god, which is double-edged and therefore dual in purpose.”

we often see god through the medium of fire throughout the old testament. he appears to moses in a burning bush, and as a pillar of fire through the desert wanderings of the israelite nation. in his letter to the hebrews, saint paul writes that god is an “all consuming fire.”

5. the eucharist 

in the gospel of john, christ says: “very truly i tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you have no life within you.” the institution of the eucharist is an event recorded meticulously by three of the synoptic gospels and saint paul.

when catholics worship in the mass and receive the body of christ through the eucharist they can “draw more strength than he can image,” explains father oforka. “an intercessory, who identifies with jesus in the eucharist, can handle difficult cases. he does not just end with the invocation of this treasure. he must, as often as possible, be part of the sacrifice of the mass through which this power flows.”

hope this and i hope i answered in time!

good luck!

the correct answer is d

a conference committee is a group of congress representatives appointed by the senate and the house to reach an agreement over a bill that had different versions in each chamber. this is due to the fact that, to pass a law. both the house and the senate must agree on the exact same content and wording of the bill to present it to the president.
