PAGE 8—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, May 11,1967 BY THE WAY (Continued from page 8) abiding Presbyterian give mon ey to such an agency? A few other notes about Presbyterians which might be of interest to you, gleaned from the Journal. When the North ern Presbyterians get together on May 18 out in Oregon, one of the things they will decide is whether a wife divorced by a minister will be given a pen sion. Among the things to be dis cussed—and no doubt railroad ed through the Southern Pres byterian General Assembly when it convenes in Bristol, Tenn. soon are: Steps to eradiciate the last vestiges of segregation from the church, including church camps and children’s homes and homes for the elderly. Thorn- well Orphanage has been fighting this for the past sev eral years but sooner or later it will probably have to give in or close up. A paper will be presented to the Assembly which calls for a cease-fire in Vietnam un der UN auspices, halting the bombing of North Vietnam al though there may be no ad vance assurance of such action on the part of the Vietcong. Continuation of the consulta tion to unite with some 10 or 12 other denominations into one monster church. Support the National Council of Churches Delta Ministry, and I’m sure you know about that one. And in event you Presbyter ians have been hoodwinked into believing none of your money goes to the National Council of Churches, the agencies of the General Assembly report Southern Presbyterian contri butions to the regular budget of the NCC at $119,307 plus some $218,000 which was channeled through the NCC Church World Service (which has been at tacked as being inefficient and ineffective.) Another commit tee recommends that $2788 of Presbyterian money be appro priated to help finance the left wing World Council of Churches meeting in Sweden in 1968. The above are just a FEW of the issues to come before the Assembly. If most of the committee reports are adopt ed, as they probably will be, it is going to be extremely dif ficult for many Presbyterians to remain in the flock. DROPPING DOWN During one of the organiza tion meetings of the Newberry Academy held last summer, one parent mentioned that in some Northern cities, where schools had a large amount of integration, the instruction level had dropped at least two grades. It is becoming more evident all the time that this is not only happening, but is purpose ly happening. Rather than try to bring under-educated minor ities up to a level with the majority, the emphasis is on bringing the standards down to a lower level. I’ve been wondering for a while, now, just what the “new English” was all about. Now it comes to light. “Formal En glish” has its points, of course but again, we must get down to the level of the students and use language they understand even, apparently, if it is the gutter variety. This bit of information comes from a publication for studehts entitled “Read”, published by the American Education Pub lications which, incidentally, also puts out the Weekly Read er with which all of you par ents of school children are familiar. To emphasize the point, the issue of this little book which I have tells about a Chaplain in a detention home who felt that he must gt fown to a language that th^ boys in the home could understand. Once he found out how to “communi cate” he suggested that the boys re-write some of the Bible stories “in their own words.” Five of the contribu tions were printed in this book with the following titles: “If ya use your brains they grow”; “The one used car that was snitched”; “The Lord is like my probation officer”; “Throw ing a party For Junior”; and “The Story of the cool cat called Noah.” To give you an idea of the reverence the Chaplain has in spired in the boys, here are a few excerpts from “Noah”: “Well—God tried all kinds of ways to get them to settle down. Nothing happened. Ev erybody just kept on yelling. God was bugged that He even thought of making the world. So there was only one thing to do—throw the whole thing out and start over. But He had worked too hard to throw every thing away, and He didn’t want to go through creating the whole world again. “He found a cool cat named Noah. He was a golden-ager like at the Salvation Army . . “Then God said, “All right, you guys, let that be a lesson to you. This hurts me more than it does you, and I ain't never gonna do that agin’. “So every time you see a rainbow, you better hope God don’t forget, and don’t you either. And if you do you just better know how to swim, man.” Incidentally, I don’t know that any schools here are re ceiving this publication but I would suggest that you check. This is just one example of the subtle nature in which it seeks to implant certain ideas in the minds of youngsters—ideas which I don’t care for, and I don’t believe you would either.
