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.

To Leave Hospital
London lUPli Sir Winston
Churchill, 87, has sufficient
ly recovered from his broken
thigh bone to leave the hos
pital within four or five days,
it was announced today.
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

considered a ChurchiHian
sign of health and underlines
the doughty statesman s ap

Religion in America
Government Encouragement in
Belief in God Said Real Issue
By LOUIS CASSELS
UPI Correspondent
Does the Constitution for

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." Many,
I then as now. took it to mean

what James Madison said in
his first draft?
"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.
