Arc "Newspaper! failing
to sail religion?’’
Now comes a Church News
Clinic, sponsored by the Univer-
sity of Missouri School of Jour-
• nalism, “bring-
ling a general
[agreement that
[newspapers in
[general do not
I give adequate
[coverage to
] church news —
[among the 'cul-
J prits' being the
| preachers who
' do not dig out
good news stories for the news-
papers, it was stated.
As this columnist sees it, the
term “selling religion” is about
as incorrect a term us the word
"teaching” religion. Religion can-
not be taught A"d Tf e ante
token, we would say, it can’t be
sold. Religion is not something to
be taught. We teach arithmetic
and English, but not religion—
religion is DEVELOPED. Man is
incurably religious and as St.
Augustine put it, the “soul is rest-
less until it rests in God." The
leligiou.s impulse is native and is
a fixed impulse which cries for
nourishment and development.
As to the charge against the
“preachers who do not dig out
good stories,” the trouble is the
average preacher knows little of
the newspaper business, it would
not be amiss for every school ded-
icated to training ministerial stud-
ents to include enough journal-
ism to get the slant as to what
is news in the ministerial line.
It would, naturally, make for the
minister’s good 1 o learn that ver-
bosity and long introduction and
approach to a sermon that could
be preached in ten minutes, is a
case of “too much sales” talk and
the sale is lost. A training that
helps a minister to be able to
write church news, will also teach
him to eliminate much of the
stilted w mis, an 1 still the mes-
sage will not be hindered.
And, also, it might be added,
if the minister will put in as
much time at his own job to
which he dedicated his life, that
of filling a pulpit, lie will make
more church news and less pub-
licity as to what he is doing in
the field cf local drives.
We once heard the late L. 0.
Bricker, pastor of the First Chris-
tian church, Atlanta state to a
group of preachers “1 am resign-
ing my pastorate next Sunday.’
To which the group replied, “that
will never To, for you are looked
to a our inspiration in Georgia
a= a great example for the young
men.”
“Ah, hut you don’t get me,"
replied Bricker. “I mean that I
am resigning my work as a
preacher who goes about assisting
In various drives, speaking at club
meetings, and find myself com-
ing to my pulpit on Sunday spir-
itually dry. I am going to resign
that job and take up again the
work to which God called me—
the pulpit to declare the message
of salvation. I come to my pulpit
en Sunday lacking in spiritual
power, because I have been de-
nied the hours of study and pray-
er that equip me for my pulpit,
end if I come to my people con-
scious of the fact that I lack in
spiritual power my people will be
denied that which Peter gave the
lame man at the Gate Beautiful.”
As to “serving tables”
The trouble is that when a
church is looking for that thing
called news, when the man of God
takes his job as seriously as did
the apostles when asked to wait
on tables, by saving: “Tt is not
reason that we should leave the
word of God and serve tables,
that minister’s church will be a
source of news and newspaper
men soon learn sources of news.
When 3,000 were baptized on
the day of Pentecost, the re-
porter, Dr. Luke, one of the great-
est reporters of all time, saw it
was a niece of news worth put-
ting into the Holy Bible. In some
churches that scripture quoted
woul I he news. It is still news
and no one ever heard the “great
Billy Graham” quote it, and per-
haps he has been urged many
times to tell the waiting congrega-
tion just those words found in

June accidents
result in minor
damage, no injury
The traffic accident record for
the first few days of June includes
one on the
first and two
on June 2.
A collision

Crawford be-
tween a 1950
Dodge, driven
by Francis
Lynn . Mathis
of Rt. 1 and
a 1950 Nash
driven by M. I. Allen of Colbert,
limited in $225 damages to the
two cars. Mathis told officers he
was attempting a left turn off
Austin Avenue to Crawford when
the other car collided with his
right front fender. Both cars
were turning on a caution light.
Defective brakes on the Allen car
caused him to get a traffic ticket.
An accident in the 1100 block
VV. Washington, near Perry Ave-
ne, Sunday involved a 1950
Chrysler driven by Richard J.
Brown, salesman from Sherman,
and another car which did not
stop after the accident. Brown
told officers he was going east
on Washington, met the other car
on his side of the road. He pulled
off to avoid a collision and lost
control of his vehicle which ran
upon an embankment. Brown
complained of his back hurting
him. The other car, a 1949 Ford,
did not stop, according to the re-
port. Damage to the Brown car
was estimated at $200.
An accident at Armstrong and
Brock involved a 1953 Chrysler,
driven by E. H. Rice, 612 W.
Murray and a 1953 Plymouth,
driven by David R. Davis, 511
Amsden. The Rice car is report-
ed to have been traveling soutli
on Armstrong and the other car
west on Brock. The second car
pulled out into the intersection
and collided with Rice. Damages
amounted to $43.
A 1956 Ford, owned by Cray-
ton Hicks, 1417 W. Morton, while
parked ut his home, was struck by
a 1950 Lincoln belonging to A.
B. Gabriel, 812 W. Walker. Dam-
age to the Hick’s car was estim-
ated at $50.
A three car collision on Mem-
orial Dav in the 200 block S.
Austin, resulted in $575 damages
to the cars involved. There were
no injuries.
Mrs. Ida May Knight of 3640
Crawford Street Road was start-
ing up headed south after the
traffic light changed, and Sam-
uel C. Tigert of Caddo was at the
wheel of a pickup stopped be-
hind her. The third car driven
by Bob Lynn Britt of 809 West
Morton collided with the rear of
the pickup, knocking it into the
front car. Britt told police that
he had started to pull into the
inside lane to pass the pickup
when another southbound car ap-
proaching in the inside lane from
behind him forced him to pull
back into the outside lane behind
the pickup.

65 of Oklahoma City, were
drowned in l.ake Texoma Satur-
day morning around 2:00 a.m.

;hev hung front their overturned
boat which was caught on a snag
near the Roosevelt Bridge.
Hedges yelled for help as he
was swimming toward the bridge.
He was overheard by Elmer
Hemphill of Tulsa who was driv-
ing on Highway 70. He summon-
ed help.
The two couples had been fish-
ing about 2 % miles from the
bridge. One of them is reported
to have stood up in the boat caus-
ing it to capsize throwing them
all into the water. All four hung
on to the overturned boat for two
hours before the men started to
swim for help.

man, Lewis King, located the
overturned boat just as an- Okla-
homa Highway patrol trooper, O.
O. Campbell, came along and he
and two campers in a boat res-
cued the women. They were sent
to a Durant hospital suffering
from shock, burns and bruises.

Appeal for speed
limit sign heard
T. J. Mayfield, appearing
fore the council Wednesday
ternoon, appealed for interven-
tion by the council and traffic
force to stop speeding on the dead
end street of Leeper Drive.

there. The cars, he said, dash
into the street, and whirl around
and out again at all hours of the
day and night. He said there were
about forty little children in the
28 houses in the two blocks whose
lives are in danger as they play
in their yards.

peal and promised to turn it over
to Police Chief Paul Borum and
members of the traffic committee

been through the years. Wo know
that present day clubs are differ-

PERRIN PROCUREMENT
OFFICE ASKS FOR BIDS
The Perrin Procurement Office
issued today an invitation for bids
for industrial gases for the per-
iod July 1, 1958 through June
30, 1959. Opening date for the
I bids is 11:00 a.m., June 13.
come per person on farms was
about $90 higher last year than
in 1956.
The increase in income per
person last year was due to the
fact that there were about eight
percent fewer people on farms,
leaving fewer persons among
whom the agricultural income
was divided, he adds.
More and more farm people are
supplementing their incomes with
off-farm employment, notes Woot-
en. In recent years the ratio from
non-farm sources, compared to
farm sources, has been about one
to two. This means that farm peo-
ple are making $1 in non-farm
jobs for each $2 they make on
the farm. The future level of in-
come per person on farms may
depend a great deal more on in-
come from these non - farm
sources.
