Read Hebrew* 2:1*$
Demas has deserted me for love of the present world.
(11 Timothy 4:10. Good speed)
Along wiith Luke, Demas is twice mentiioned in the closing salu
tations of his letters. This places Demas in noble company. Paul
considered Demas a very close friend. It was heartbreaking for
Paul to write, “Demas has deserted me,” especially at a time when
Paul needed him most.
Demas drifted away. Like many, he fell in love with the present
world.
There was a start somewhere with Demas, as is true of all who
drift away. He probably regarded his attitude or what he did—
just once—as of liittle consequence.
Near my boyhood home there was a very steep hill. Running
down it brought a thrill. Once started, though, there was no possi
bility of stopping. Sinful living may at first bring a thrill; but once
we begin living that kind of life, where is the stopping? There is
great danger of drifting. Demas fell. Even the strongest can fall.
A strong will under heavenly guidance, sentinel-like, must be
placed at the gate of the soul. We must listen when God gives His
command.
PRAYER
Help me, O Father, to listen to Thee this day, and to
be strong in faith and In courage to resist drifting Into
sin. Be the strength of our lives this day; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I will keep a strict watch on myself this day.

Supreme Court
Vs. Religion
By THURMAN SENSING
Execative Vice-President
Southern States ladustrial
Cornell
In ruling against prayer in
the public schools, the U. S.
Supreme Court made its most
far-reaching and dangerous de
cision in modern times. The ef
fect of the decision Is to move
the United States toward the
status of an officially Godless
nation.
Apologists for the Warren
court may say that the decision
involved only one case in New
York State. They also may ar
gue that the ruling only applied
to a prayer recommended by
the State Board of Regents. But
it should be remembered that
the May 17, 1954 segregation
ruing of the high court involved
only a handful of test cases. It
only decided against segrega
tion, and did not order segrega
tion. But the Supreme Court’s
segregation ruling has mush
roomed into a nationwide pro
gram of insistence on forced
integration in every area of na
tional life. Thus, one can be sure
that the Supreme Court ruling
on prayer in New York’s schools
will likewise mushroom into a
major assault on all religious
observances in public life.
Associate Justice William
Douglas, in a separate opinion
concurring with the majority
ruling, frankly declared that the
government should be neutral
as to religion. He cleariy im
plied that government funds
could not be used to support any
kind of religious exercise
Unless the American people
rise in protest against this de
cision, the Supreme Court de
cision undoubtedly will be
broadened in the district and
circuit appeals courts to strike
hard at every mention of the
Almighty in public bodies and
public meetings.
This will mean lawsuits or
decisions to remove the motto
“In God We Trust” from the
nation’s coinage. It will be the
ending of giving oaths to judges
and witnesses, and, most im
portant, the President of the
United States on the occasion
of his inaugural. It also will
mean court action to disband
the chaplain corps in the arm
ed srevices or, at least, to pro
vide for commissioning of
spokesmen for agnostics and
atheists.
Justice Douglas said that the
U. S. government should be neu
tral toward religion. That is
about what the Soviet govern
ment position is today. It is an
officially Godless state that per
mits some religious bodies to
function. But religion as such
is forbidden a place in public
education or public ceremonial
in Russia. That is the very
position that the Supreme Court
wants to adopt in and for
America,
ppomstoi.
It should be realised that the
decision rendered by the U. S.
Supreme Court might have been
rendered by a Russian court.
Certainly, it in no -way takes
into account the traditions of
this country. The Declaration of
Independence cleariy states the
author’s trust in a “divine Prov
idence.” Again and again
through all the state papers of
our country and its presidents
and governors in faith in Al
mighty God stressed as the

cardinal principle of American
life.
The thousands of churches
that dot our landscape and dom
inate our cities, the dozens of
seminaries, and the respect ac
corded religious observances, all
characterizes this nation and
people as religious in the deep
est sense. America is a land of
liberty because free citizens be
lieve that their freedom is root
ed in religious freedom and re
spect for God’s will.
Now, after 186 years of na
tional life, the Supreme Court
wants to remove religion from
our public life. The court wants
to stick religion behind church
doors on Sunday.
President Kennedy said that
the Supreme Court’s decisions
must be respected, no matter
how much one may disagree
