THE CULT OF BLACK HAWK IN THE STOREFRONT CHURCHES OF NEW ORLEANS, THE SPIRIT OF ILLINOIS' LEGENDARY SAUK WARRIOR LIVES ON
`Black Hawk will fight your battles,' exclaimed Rev. Jules Anderson, `because Black Hawk stands for righteousness!' \"You send Black Hawk in and the Lord will follow,\" Miss Marie told (Aaron) Christophe. \"Put Black Hawk first and God will come right behind.\" These days, Christophe works on an oil derrick in the Gulf of Mexico; he has long since left the old neighborhood, and he never kept tabs on Miss Marie. But as he learned of the Crescent City's Spiritual Churches, a non-denominational Christian movement that venerates Black Hawk, among other figures, Christophe with his Catholic background came to see Miss Marie's Indian with the clarity of a religious scholar.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CONTEXT
They don't mean simply the authority of the legal system, but also moral law and authority. In their view, allowing [President] Clinton to remain in office is equivalent to encouraging elected officials to lie. Replies to the effect that we must take account of the overall context - that we must reflect on what the President lied about, for instance - are dismissed as opening the door to moral relativism, to saying that anything goes. Their underlying assumption is that either our moral principles are absolute, and there is one and only one way to apply them in this case, or they are merely subjective, and every way of acting is as good as every other.

NEW ORLEANS, AND ALL THAT JAZZ
Most disk jockeys for the station are volunteers; they are a substantial slice of local life. Bobby Mitchell, who scored a 1950's recording hit with ''Try Rock and Roll,'' conducts a popular afternoon oldies show, exhorting the audience to ''Liven up, baby, settle back, pop you a cold one, listen to what Bobby's got!'' There are frequent jazz programs, and there are Cajun music programs on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday. An African-Caribbean program on Saturday nights by Gene Scaramuzza is a must tape for those who find prices of imported records of this kind of music too much for their budgets. The most colorful disk jockeys spin blues and rhythm-and-blues - particularly Duke-a-Padukah and his wife, B.B., on Friday nights; on Monday nights it's Gentilly Junior and Railroad Bill, with hard-driving blues, and on Tuesday nights it's ''Records From the Crypt'' with Billy Dell, who issues this ritual intonement: ''Open the windows, turn that radio up - let the people hear this music!'' Chief Jolley and in 1976 recorded ''The Wild Tchoupitoulas,'' a record that has become a cult classic. The Neville band was formed the following year. Big Chief Jolley and Cyril Neville recast street chants to Caribbean-accented instrumentation, coated with Mr. [George Landry]'s warm, resonant vocals. Big Chief Jolley died in 1980. Songs from the record, like ''Brother [John Coltrane]'' and ''Meet de Boys on de Battlefront'' were incorporated into the Neville repertory.
