r Man Still Sinful, Evangelist Says Fresno, Calif. - (UPD - Evan gelist Billy Graham told a crowd of 17,100 Wednesday night that man is as sinful to day as he was 2,000 years ago when Jesus Christ died on the cross. The North Carolina minis ter said the idea of the world being saved by the crucifixion of Christ was considered fool ishness in Christ's day - and Is still foolish today to the average person. Graham, who begins the second half of his eight-day Fresno Crusade tonight with a sermon on "Problems of the Home," warned that sin "nev er improves any more than a cancerous condition improves without medical aid." "The gospel of Christ cruci fied is still foolishness to mil lions who are perishing all over the world today," he said. "Too few people recog nize that the answer to all the world's problems lies at the foot of the cross." Graham's assistants said 75,600 persons have attended the first half of the crusade here. A total of 2,735 have made "decisions for Christ," they said. Missionary fo Speak At Valley View Church Ray Comstock, Seventh-day Adventist missionary, and di rector of a medical-educational mission station in the state of Chiapas, Mexico, will speak at B o'clock tonight at the Valley View Seventh-day Adventist church, South Stage rd.

The former prime minister will be discharged from Mid dlesex hospital Monday or Tuesday, a spokesman said. Sir Winston broke the bone three weeks ago at the start of a Monte Carlo vacation. He "was grumbling like fury this morning," the spokesman said. Grumbling is considered a ChurchiHian sign of health and underlines the doughty statesman s ap parently dramatic recovery.

Court's recent ruling on pray er in public schools. To Ca.se If some Ameri first amendment cans, the means that government must maintain an absolute neutral ity in religious matters: That it may not even favor belief in God over unbelief. Others believe that this is an extreme interpretation, which goes far beyond the in tention of the founding fathers. At the root of the contro versy are 16 words whose ambiguity is attested by the fact that they have meant dif- i ferent things to different people for nearly 175 years. I The First Amendment says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion, or prohibit ing the free exercise there of . . ." States Established Churches At the time of its adoption, nine of the 13 states had established churches. Some legislators voted for Ihe amendment in the belief that it would prevent the new fed eral government from inter fering with these state "estab lishments of religion." Others had precisely the opposite in tent. Thomas Jefferson, in a private letter, construed the amendment as creciing "a wall of separation between church and state."

"The civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious beliefs or wor ship, nor shall any national religion be established." The idea that the First Amendment forbids the gov ernment to acknowledge God or to encourage religious faith would have been pro foundly shocking to many of the founding fathers. Su preme Court Justice Joseph Story, writing in 1833, said that at the time the Consti tution was written, "the gen eral if not the universal sen timent was that Christianity ought to receive encourage ment from the stale, so i'ar as it was not incompatible with private rights of con science and the freedom of worship." Story added that statesmen of the 18th Century would have greeted with "indigna tion" any attempt "to make it a matter of slate policy to hold all religions in utlcr in difference." Upheld By Slate Court This view of the founding fathers' intent is still held by many jurists. The highest court of New York state, in upholding the "regents' pray er" which the U.S. Supreme Court later found unconstitu tional, said: "When the Founding Fath ers prohibited an 'establish ment of religion,' they were referring to an official adop tion of, or more sects favor to one or They could not have men nt to prohibit mere professions of belief in God. for if they did so, they them selves, in many ways, were violating their rule when and after they adopted u. Throughout its history, the United States has in aet given offieial encouragement to religious belief in many ways. It has. for example, granted tax exemptions to churches and permitted indi viduals to deduct religious contributions from their in come taxes. It has provided chaplains for t h e armed forces and both houses of Congress, It has proclaimed trust in God on its currency, in its pledge of allegiance, in its national anthem, and in such national holidays as Thanksgiving Day. It is small wonder that many Americans who have grown up amidst these tradi tions are shocked when it is suggested that the Constitu tion forbids the government to profess or encourage belief in God. That, however, is what the Supreme Court has seemed to say. not only in the prayer ruling, but in a number of oilier decisions of recent years Black Expressed View Speaking for the court in the Kverson school bus c.sc of 1947. Justice Hugo L Black laid down a view of the First Amendment which the court has subsequently pe.tted. word for word, in three other opinions, includ- ruhnys lust year niack said- "Tiie 'establishment of re liSion' clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one re ligion over another . . no tax in any amount lame or small cm be levied to support any religious activities or institu tions, whatever they may he called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or prac tice religion In last month's pravr nil ing, with Black again speak ing for the majority, the court held that a 22-word non - sectarian prayer ap proved by" the New York state Board of Regents for use in public schools was "wholly inconsistent with the First Amendment" be cause it "establishes the reli gious beliefs embodied in the regents' prayer." Implied Neutrality The only religious belief embodied in the prayer is an affirmation of God's existence and sovereignty. Thus the court seemed to be saying that agencies of government must be neutral on that point. If this constitutional philo sophy is carried to its logi cal conclusion, as Justice Wil liam O. Douglas and Potter Stewart said in their opinions in the prayer case, it would seem to prohibit lax exemp tions to churches and many other long-established govern ment practices. It is by no means certain, however, that the court wi carry the doctrine to its logi cal conclusion. Past experi ence points to a contrary pos sibility. In 1948, the court held, in the McCollum cae, that it was unconstitutional for public schools to cooper ate wilii churches in "re leased time" programs of re ligious education held on the public school property. The ruling provoked a national furor comparable to that over the prayer decision. Four I years later, Zoraeh case in the 1B52 1 the court said that released time programs are all right provided they aren't held on public prop erty. ! Gei, s Some Approval The recent prayer ruling has not been greeted with universal disapproval among religious Americans. Most Jews and many Proteslan's share the court's stated belief that true religion is more likely to flourish in America without any form of pevern ment support, and agree with the court that the only safe place to draw the tine against i official encroachments (in re- ligious freedom is at the cx i treme thrcshhold. ' But it seems obvious from j the public reaction that they I are substantially o u I n u m , be red by Americans who be- lie e that t he government i siuuild lend all the eneour ' agement to religion that it j can. without discriminating j among the various faiths. I Whether this sentiment will be reflected in future court rulings, or whether it will ex- j press itself in a constitutional i amendment, only time can ' tell. I 4-H NEWS C. P.
