Jim Cprnish in The Past Dis-
patch: Probably the hardest
thing in the world to be is a
"good listener". But that certain-
ly is an essential requirement
of at least one responsible posi-
tion in the American way of
Mfe—the judgeships.
While we sat in Crosby district
court the last two days during
the injunction hearing on the
White Kiver district's land con-
demnation, we marveled at Dis-
trict Judge Victor H. Lindsey's
"listening ability", just as at
other times past we have mar-
veled at District Judge Truitt
Smith's same ability. They listen

hour after hour, but sxay right
on top of everything. It's pretty
one-sided in court we've decid-
ed—the lawyers talk, talk, talk
while the judge sits patiently
and listens. But when the judge
has samething to say he doesn't
waste any words and what _ he
says is what counts.
Cecil Waggoner in The Claude
News: The State Department
will probably demand an inves-
tigation of this old boy, but Dr.
Ricardo Castro .Beeche,' editor of
La Nacion, Costa Rica's leading
newspaper, recently wrote:
"Yankee Imperialism means a
country which has gone into two
world vfors with enormous sacri-
fice of fives and money and
which hasn't taken a single inch
of land from the beaten coun-
tries. It means a nation which
devoted hundreds of million of
dollars to the reconstruction of
battle-torn countries after World
War II through the Marshall
Plan. . . Yankee Imperialism
says a man has a right to happi-
ness through a worthy life. Per-
haps the Soviets could tell us
how this compares with Russian
Imperialism. The Soviets hold all
the countries defeated by them
under their yoke .without., .free-
dom at all."
ARE WE PHARISEES
H. M. Baggerly in The Tulia
Herald: Christ's primary con-
demnation of the religionists of
His time was that they were so
concerned with the technical
aspects of keeping the law that
they completely missed the
spirit of the law.
People are so today.
People by the hundreds of
thousands expressed concern re-
cently over the Supreme Court's
decision on the prayer composed
by the New York Regents which
was_t£Lbe repeated by school
children of that state. The furor
couldn't have been louder had
Johnny dropped a stink bomb
at prayer meeting.
Congress several years felt
very righteous after it changed
the Pledge to the Flag to read
"one nation, under God.^. . "
Many Americans are already
tilled with indignation as they
anticipate the time that "In God
We Trust" might be removed
from our coins by our "Godless"
and "Red loving" U. S. Supreme
Court. h'
, Completely overlooked by A-
meri<*Shis is that these various
references to God have absolute-
ly nothing to do with making
America "Christian", or promot-
ing morality or spirituality a -
mong our citizenship. They are
only symbols.
We can engrave the Lord's
Prayer in marble and place it a-
bove the door of every court-
house in America.
We can order a picture of
Jesus Christ hung in every post
This service has spoiled me.

We can officially designate thv
Bible as Our creed,* .God, as "hon-
orary President' of «thg United
States. In coufrt we call'swear* in
the name of the Trinity; not in
(he name of God alone.
We can make Christianity our
official religion, Onward Christ-
tan xolriiprs our—national' an

We oan require that every
radio and television station
come on the air with a JhTymn
and recite the 23rd Psalm every
quarter hour. \ ~ *
And America still will not be
Christian. —' t~-
If we could determine Ameri-
ca's spiritual. temperature, if we
could debate the topic: Resolved
That America is a Christian Na
tion, let us consider things more
fundamental than the numbei
of times the name of Deity ap-
pears on our official documents.
We citizens of "The Bible Belt"
like to think of our area as the
place where God dwells. We are
quick to mark New York City
off to Saitan with its paganism,
jis Jews, its strange religions,
its absence of religion. Likewise,
we think of Southern California
as being the home base for the
cults, the Ir-rellglous. And—we^
thank God that we are hot as
the fast talking New Yorkers
are. We have a church on every
corner. In this part of the coun-
try, it is the respectable thing to
belong to a church. In fact, we
almost have to join something
in order to be considered re-
spectable., It hasn't been long
since church membership was
practically a requirement for
getting a public job.
We can take a church census
—and we find almost nobody
who can't name a church which
he joined sometime in the mist>
past. At least he "leans" in the
direction of some church.
Does this then mean that
"The Bible Belt," at least, is
"Christian"?—-
Perhaps so—if we have stand-
ards no higher than those of the
Pharisees.
(It is fair to note that . Mr.
Baggerly opposed the recent Su-
preme Court ruling while this
paper supported it. Editor)
