S. 306, 313) we encourage and support the enactment of an amendment to the Constitution of the Jnited States of America permitting (1) voluntary prayer and Bible reading in the public schools jid on official governmental occasions (2) references to God and •eligious traditions in historical documents and literature in teachng pupils in the public 'schools and (3) the expression of non-sec-arian religious concepts in official government functions.
