Baptists which contained the < '
fateful "separation of church and founders would literally "turn in
their graves" if they saw the (un-
elected) Supreme Court illegally
legislating from the bench,
felt I must respond to the Sept.
16 letter in The Panola Watch-
man which chided those persons straining the powers of the states
or the people. _ The
"Government" was not intended
to be a seamless garment of lo-
cal, state, and national offices.
Powers given to the states
were not given to the national
government; restrictions on the
national government were not
intended to apply to state and lo-
cal governments. The current
thinking of modem Americans
is that the checks of power in
the Bill of Rights applies to any
and all levels of government.
This is, however, contrary to the
intent and lettpr of the law.
Thus, past actions such as
Bible reading in public schools,
states' references to the feet that punishment for blasphemy, state
requirements for public office
holders to affirm their belief in
Biblical teachings, etc. were
considered completely legal and
appropriate, simply because they square from 3 to 6 p.m. collect-

"Explosion Efforts"
were laws that were made and
upheld by state and local au-
thorities. It would had shocked
the founders to even think of the "Explosion Efforts" in New
federal government encroaching York City, Washington, D.C.,
upon the rights of the local peo-
ple to set the standards for their
individual communities and
states.
Accordingly, this nation cor-
rectly allowed local and state
entities to tend to its own busi-
ness concerning religious mat-
ters for many years of our his-
tory. It has only been in recent
years that the Bill of Right's
limitations were twisted to apply
to local communities and states.
In. applying the purpose and
clear meaning of the First
Amendment to the recent
Supreme Court decision which
forbade prayer at football games
because public microphones
were used in those prayers, it
appears clear that these justices
are erroneously misapplying the
_ ,v"
emments. In my opinion, our
Constitution of the United States
of America.
So what does the Constitu-
tion say about religion? The
First Amendment of the Bill of
Rights says "Congress shall

thereof..." A careful,
reading of this phrase indicates
that the party restrained by this

it I want the person that took it
to know how we feel about what

a very small person. We must
stay calm and stick together, all
races, all religions, and all peo-
