BaektreaaS Sert*tarai 1 Chronicle* 17—20. DevaUaaal ReaSlafi Nehemlah 811-S Faith and Action Lessen fer May 1, 1955 . r " *T*HE church is not the state and * the state is not the church. When either One tries to be the other, or to run the other, there is trouble. Church and state are separate; that is a deep-rooted American principle. But that does

Dr. Foreman

not mean that a wall should be run up between the state and religion. That doesnot mean that the state can afford to be indifferent to religion. You are not I and I am not you; but that does not __ mean there

ought to be a stone wall standing high between us. It does not mean that either of us should be indifferent to the other. The church can help the state, and vice versa. Executive’s Relicion Most American churches, including those denominations (both large and small) sponsor this column, believe that the state ought not to help the church by direct "establishment” of any church by public law. No Presbyterian. Methodist or Baptist, for instance, and still less a Quaker or a Pentecostal Christian, wants his own church given government support, by money grants or any other way. Nevertheless, Christians of every label rejoice when a President or other leader professes his faith openly. We all feel, quite rightly. that we shall be better off when our leaden in state and society are genuinely religious men and women. There is an interesting and instructive □lustration of this in the Bible. In the course of the history of Judah we come on the administration of a king named Jehoshaphat He was a good king and he left his country far better than he found it Now we hear very little about this king’s beliefs He was no more nor less orthodox than kings before or after him » »«y>not a better king becauss he could pass a better examination in theology. He was better because he put his beliefs into _ action. A creed that can't gel light and air and exercise turns sour, and it sours those whs sadsr , Beginning on the Ground Floor Now many acts of a high executive may not seem to be religious or to have anything to do with religion, and yet they may affect religion strongly. For example, there was Jehoshaphat, a king whose first recorded act was one for the public defense. He fortified his border garrisons and he developed a well-organized and well-equipped army. Religion cannot be upheld on the points of bayonets, that is all true; but the fact remains that in the time of Jehoshaphat there was real danger from invasion, and a successful invasion meant that the true religion would have to go underground. Korean Christians know this today perhaps better than anybody. What South Korean Christians wants the U. N. forces to go home? So, even so seemingly non-religious a business as reorganizing an army for greater effectiveness, may have notable religious effects too. Getting the Message to the People Before Billy Graham visited Denmark, it was said, the preachers in that country, who were men of high education, preached so far over the heads of the people that churches had dismally small congregations. It is the people's business to rise to our level, said the preachers, not for us to sink to theirs. Then Billy Graham came along and showed what would happen if preachers really got down where the people are Since that time, it is reported, the ministers have taken the tiint and the churches are getting more people interested You can put religion in a beautiful ivory tower, or gothic cathedral for chat matter, and people may admire it but that’s all Religion iias got to be put within reach sf the people. King Jehoshaphat lid this by putting his "teaching priests" on the road, taking the Law of God to the people, the Law which had so much to say about everyday living. In our country, on the contrary, though die one place where you can reach »U the people is in the public ichools and state colleges, the law generally permits any subject at all to be taught—except die Bible? which Cannot even b« legally read aloi«*' Face death not through sorrow but through Christian fellowship. The central thought of one’s life should be to do God’s will.

The Church Gives Courage By Mrs. J. R. Meadows To many youth, the past years have been years of testing. Courage has been gradually sapped from robust youth. Yet youth holds on. Youth testifies that the church has played no mean part in maintaining his courage. The church gives courage by its constant presentation of the Man of Galilee, who because of the fierce opposition raised against Him, was forced oftentimes to fight a lone battle. He fought back temptations, because He realized He had to make good in life, to remain true to those who loved and trusted in Him. The church has been interpreting Christ's life to modern youth. Youth has seen in Him, One who dared to live by a conviction. Youth wants to re-live His Spirit of Courage, the Spirit that knows no defeat. The youth of today is grateful to the church for the part it has played in keeping up his courage, self-esteem and self-respect. Parents are urged to see that their children attend Sunday school regularly and thus get started right on the road of life. THIS WEEK’S BIBLE VERSE “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.”—Psalms 27:14.
