A -flew weeks ago a Protestant
minister in Portland, Oregon. I
wired Senator John Kennedy
asking him to comment on.
charges in an air force train- (
tag manual of communism in
the National Council of Church-'
es'(Protestant). and separation of <
church and state implications. {
Senator Kennedy answered
that he considered the charges'
“shocking and disgraceful,” and
said he disagreed with them. He)
added that “Under the First!
Amendment our Government
cannot—directly or indirectly,!
carelessly or intentionally—se- I
leet any religious body for either '
favorable or unfavorable treat-1
ment.” I
Immediately Dr. Carl Mcln
tire, a Bible Presbyterian minis
ter in Col ling's wood. New Jer
sey, who has long accused the
National Council of Churches of
being soft toward communism, j
jumped on the Senator with
both feet, accusing him of vio-J
lating the separation of church j
and state by commenting on the!
issue in the first place, and add-j
mg that he should have con
demned the National Council of.
Churches rather than defended]
it.
Now in any fuss between Dr.)
Mclntire and the N. C. C„ I’m!
on Mc’s side. Personally I feel 1
that the National Council has ■
very definitely been soft toward j
communism. But I think his!
attack on Senator Kennedy is]
just plain silly—and I feel wej
need to reevaluate what we
mean by separation of church]
and state. For example. Mcln-j
tire commends Congressman j
Walter when that Congressman

do we have "formaP worship?..
'We don’t think of our worship services and cu*
toms in the Episcopal Church as necessarily "formal.'*
We feel that if all are to participate in worship
together, it is necessary to follow a plan. Mott than
three-fourths of all the Christians in the world wor
ship according to a pattern.
We look upon our services as having great dignity
and reverence, arranged so that instead of sitting back
and taking no part in the service, we can join with
our minister and fellow-worshipers in an outpouring
of praise and thanksgiving to God for His goodness
and mercy to us. The Episcopal Church is "altar
centered.” Worship is primary. AH else—preaching,
music, scripture lessons, important though they be,
are secondary to the praise and worship of Almighty
God on Sundays.
If this is what worship of God means to you, we
invite you to join us, today, in actively worshipping
God in the Episcopal Church near you.

j accuses the N. C. C. <rf co*n
[ muiusm, but condemns Senator
i Kennedy for defending it. But
if Senator Kennedy is guilty of
I violating the first amendment
of the Constitution, so is Wal
'ter. Or is a politician guilty of
violating the first amendment
only when he disagrees with
Mclntire's politics? If Senator
Kennedy had condemned the
N, C. C. as communistic one sus
pects a large number in that
group would have accused him
of violating the first amendment.
Or if he had refused to answer
the question, he would have
been accused of failing to an
swer because he was afraid to
reveal that he really is opposed
to separation of church and
state. The poor man was put
on the spot. One may disagree
with his answer (as 1 do). but
let us at least give him credit!
for facing a difficult question
and giving us his honest opin
ion.
Further, separation of church
and state is not a one way
street. If it is wrong for poli
ticians to meddle in church mat
ters, it is equally wrong for
churchmen to meddle in mat
ters of politics. And here once
again we find a strange incon
sistency. For example. Dr. Mc
lntire condemns the N. C. C. for
favoring recognition of Bed
China (and he is justified in
doing so); but Mclntire lobbies
just as vehemently for non-rec
ognition of Red China. In all
honesty, if one course is a vio
lation of the first amendment,
is not the other also? And
when a church council takes a
stand on a political matter, is
it not sillv to accuse a politician
of violating the first amendment
when he agrees, or disagrees,
with the council's stand?
■ This is not to criticize Dr.

Mclntire. Personally, I admire
I him as a courageous Christian
twho is willing to fight for his
convictions. And I agree with
his convictions— most of them, j
anyway. Neither is it a defense
of Senator Kennedy. But I feel
that we as Christians need very
definitely to re-think and re
appraise 'the first amendment of
the Constitution—and also that
we ought to be consistent in
our Standards of judgment. If
it is all right for the Air Force
Manual to. criticize the N. C. C.
(and I agree with the Air Force
Manual) it is also ah right for
Senator Kennedy to defend it.
This Week Is Home
Demonstration Week
Continued from Page 1, Section 1
for specific inrormation and also
an inorease in the total reading
done by Tar Heels. This' achieve
ment can be attributed to the
continuous cooperation of Home
Demonstration Club leaders and
librarians in launching and de
veloping a program designed to
meet the reading needs of the
individual in his day to day liv
ing, whether the need is for in- :
1 formation or for better use of
leisure time.
The fact that National Home
Demonstration Week is being
observed May 1-7 while the
echoes of National Library Week
April 3-9 are still resounding
throughout North Carolina is
'significant for those interested
in both fields. During the past
quarter of a century, a planned
leading program for members
of Home Demonstration Clubs
has been jointly sponsored by
the State College Agriculture
Extension Service and the
North Carolina State Library.
Through a network of public
I libraries and bookmobile ser
j vice throughout North Carolina,
96‘1 of the population has ac
[eess to reading material. The
105 bookmobiles operating in 94
[counties have played an import
ant role in getting books to the
'rural citizens of our state from
| the coves of the mountains to
the outerbanks.
A proper salute is due to all
the individuals involved in this
worthwhile project. When a
[backward glance reveals a suc
-1 eessful 1960 National Home

-1 servance in North Carolina, it is
I hoped that the reading program
will have had its proper place
in the limelight

National Home Demonstration
Week, May 1-7, presents an op
portunity to let the people of
North Carolina know the con
tributions ma'de by Home Dem
onstration work to the progress
of our state.
The many years during which
this week has been observed has
seen significant changes in ru
ral living. County, state and
federal Extension services have
joined forces to call attention to
these changes which influence
the home, the community, the
state and the nation. This week
specifically points out the con
tributions that home demonstra
tion work; makes to homemakers
in interpreting the results of re
search and successful experiences
in the field of homemaking. The
contributions which volunteer
local leaders have made to the
program should never be over- 1
looked, 'as these leaders furnish
the real channel for getting the
practices put into operation.
All groups interested in the
development and improvement
of the farm, home and family
should take advantage of Na
tional Home Demonstration Week
to acquaint the general public,
and especially the younger fam
ilies, with the educational pro
grams available through home
economics agents and Home
Demonstration Club work.
The observance of this week
should emphasize the importance
of wise management decisions
in home and family living, and
increase the awareness of the
influence of the home on the
character and the personality of
our youth. While the develop
ment of new skills and changed
attitudes in the many phases of
homemaking are important, the
broader aspects of the problems
of agriculture and their relation
to local, national and world

One of the fine programs be
