Open Forum for All Denominations
Planned for 1 p. m. in Student Union
Church, State
Seen Not Split
No definite line of division exists
between the church and govern
ment because the state is forced to
give equal rights to all religions,
Dr. Paul Wright told an audience
of about 50 persons in the Dads'
room of the Student Union Tues
day night.
"A free church in a free state
seems to give the best promise for
fulfillment of the lives of citizens,"
Dr. Wright said in concluding his
address entitled, “Church and
State in Protestant Thought."
He pointed out that in early
American colonial days, church
and government were one and the
same. No division existed between
the two until the time came to
choose one form of government. At
that time it became necessary to
choose an official church, and in
the ensuing dispute, no church was
sanctioned and the government
gave equal recognition to all re
ligions.
Dr. Wright said that early Chris
tians were martyrs who hoped the
kingdom of God would come upon
the earth and scatter the authori
tarian rule of the state. Later, the
Roman government under Con
stantine legitimized Christianity,
and there was a wrestle between
church and state as to which was
the true power. Following the ren
naissance functions of the state
and church separated, he explain
ed.
“God does not want chaos. Fine
and orderly government are God's
instruments of order,” Dr. Wright
said. He pointed to John Calvin's
belief that the will of God would be
actualized in society, and added,
“The church has functions to per
form in society that reflect upon
the functions of the state.”

Finns as hosts toward the visiting

Victory and Defeat
! He described the athletes in

it can't be helped, defeat is great."
In further illustrating this point,

gratulate him on the performance

What Do You Think of...
... Student Government?
Rosemary Hampton, sophomore in speech, said:
“Student government means to me that students should plan out
their activities and the administration should have as little to say
about it as possible.

definitely wrong. Each office should be elected separately instead
