St. Anne’s Guild
Hears Talk on
Politics and Religion
Lt. Col. Francis M. Smith (Ret.)
spoke on religion and politics at
the meeting of St. Anne’s Guild
held Monday evening in Emman
uel Episcopal Church’s Parish
Hall.
A former liaison officer be
tween the Army and the Senate
in Washington, Col. Smith was in
a position to observe realistically
the religious attitudes of our
country’s top politicos and in his
opinion, the majority of these
men who represent us are dedi
cated Americans with high Chris
tian principles, a fact which we
perhaps do not always appreciate.
"The less you know about poli
ticians,” said Col. Smith, “'The
more you criticize, while the
more you know, the less you crit
icize.” The Colonel strongly ad
vocated *he need of these Chris
tian' principles, not only in our
domestic relations, but more
especially, by example in our re
lations with foreign countries.
During the discussion period
following Col. Smith’s talk he
was queried specifically regarding
his reference to the separation of
church and state, if he felt reli
gion would enter into the cam
paign of Sen. John F. Kennedy
siiould he become the Democratic
nominee for President. 'The CoL
onel replied he felt sure that rer
ligion would, in that event, be
come a campaign issue, but not
to the extent that it did in Gov.
Alfred Smith’s campaign a num
ber of years ago.
Serving refreshments to the
group following the meeting, were
hostesses Mrs. E. K. Dudley and
Mrs. George Davis.
