To Study
Missions
The Methodist 'Church will hold
its School of Missions beginning
Jan. 8 and running for five Sun
day evenings under the direction
of the Commission on Christian
Social Concerns, Paul Barnes,
chairman, and the Commission on
Missions, Robert Kennedy, chair
man. Each session will begin with
a potluck supper at 5:30 and
close at 8 p.m. Nursery will be
provided.
Sunday, Jan. 8, following the
supper, Jack Wright of the Klam
ath Falls Gospel Mission, will
speak. Later young people, chil
dren, and adults will separate into
classes for studies appropriate to
the general themes. In the adult
class Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Redman
will present the first part of a
book called "Stumbling Block,"
on the subject of alcohol prob
lems and the role of the church
with respect to that problem.
On the second evening Mr. and
Mrs. Max McMillin will review
the rest of this book. This study
is in line with a nationwide Meth
odist emphasis for 1961. The other
three sessions will be concerned
with home missions and the new
concepts of the mission of the
Christian church as it confronts
present-day stresses, dangers, and
challenges of this country and
ministers to the needs of its people.
The text, called "Safe in Bond

Sometime during the next few
months, the U. S. Supreme Court
will hand down a decision that
could change your way of life.
It will decide whether Sunday
is constitutional.
Not Sunday as ,a day of the
week, but Sunday as a day of
rest and worship, recognized and
protected by law.
Pending before the c o u r t are
four cases challenging Sunday,
closing laws in Massachusetts,
Maryland and Pennsylvania. But
the basic issue is much broader
than the specific statutes of these
states. It is whether any govern
mental body in the United Slates
has a constitutional right to ac
cord a special legal status to a
day which is considered holy by
many but by no means all Americans.
Constitutional Violation Charged
Jewish groups and some small
Christian bodies like the Seventh
Day Adventists, who observe Sat
urday as the Sabbath day, nave
long contended that Sunday oo
servance laws violate tne first
Amendment's guarantee of gov
ernmental neutrality in matters
of religion.
In the past, with a single ex
ception, lower courts have upheld
the constitutionality of' Sunday
closing laws. They have ruled
that states have a right to en
force a shutdown of general busi
ness activity one day a week, not
for religious reasons, but to pro
tect the health and welfare of
workers. The choice of Sunday for
this day of rest may have been
prompted originally by the tenets
of the Christian faith, the courts
have said, but it can now be jus
tified on the grounds of social
custom and long-standing tradi
tion.
The single exception was a rul
ing in 1959 by a federal court in
Boston. It held Massaschusetts
Sunday law unconstitutional on
the grounds that it "furnishes
special protection to the dominant
Christian sects and discrimi
nates against those who observe
a different Sabbath.
Some Washington observers be
lieve there is a better-than-fair
chance that a majority of the Su
preme Court justices will take
the same view as the Massa
chusetts court.
Rude Alteration Possible
K that happens, the relatively
small minority of Americans who
observe a Saturday Sabbath will
feel that a great injustice has
been corrected. But thejVast ma
jority of Americans not only
the practicing Christians who go
to church on Sunday, but also the

Church Plans. Speakers
Speakers who will be present
this weekend at the Immanuel
Baptist and Bible Baptist church-
millions who regard Sunday as
sacred to other purposes such as
golf, late-sleeping or family out
ings may find their way of
life rudely altered.
The trend toward "business-as-
usual" on Sunday which has
been very conspicuous in recent
years would doubtless be tre
mendously accelerated by the to
tal removal of present legal re
stnctions, however riddled with
exceptions and loopholes they are.
Without Sunday closing laws, it
is hard to see how downtown de
partment stores, chain groceries
and other retail and service busi
nesses could long resist the com
petitive pressure to' keep open
seven days a week. And if Sun
day becomes just another shop
ping day for customers, it will
perforce be just another work day
tor millions of employes.
There may be a way out of the
dilemma a solution that nei
ther destroys Sunday as an insti
tution nor denies the rights of
minorities. Twelve states have
adopted laws which exempt from
compulsory Sunday closing rules
those who observe another day as
their holy day of rest.
When a law of this kind was
challenged in Ohio in 1959, the
U.S. Supreme Court refused to
review the case on the ground
that no substantial federal ques
