Jubilarian ‘Old Georgia Hand 9
WASHINGTON (NC)--Presi
dent Johnson called upon reli
gious leaders to 1 'awaken the
conscience” of the country in
the matter of civil rights.
The civil rights bill before
Congress "is going to pass if t
takes all summer,” because
"Justice and morality demand
it,” he told 150 Catholic, Pro
testant and Jewish leaders he
received in the east room of the
White House (April 29)
BUT LAWS and government
"are, at best, course instru
ments for remodeling social in
stitutions and illuminating the
dark places of the human
heart," he added.
"It is your Job--as men of
God—to reawaken the con
science of our beloved land, the
United States of America," he
declared.
"Inspire and challenge us to
put our principles into action,"
he asked them.
The President spoke after
Archbishop Patrick A. O'Boyle
of Washington, as the spokes
man for all present, had told
him of the Interreligious Con
vocation on Civil Rights held
here the night before, Some
7,00 0 persons overflowed the
gymnasium and a hall on the
campus of Georgetown Uni
campus of Georgetown Univer
sity to take part in the convo
cation.
THOSE GATHERED in the
White House were representa
tives of the agencies that had
sponsored the convocation.
Standing beside Archbishop
O’Boyie as he addressed the
President were Dr, Eugene
Carson Blake, chairman of the
Commission on Religion and
Race of the National Council of
Churches; Rabbi Lewis A. Wein-
traub, president of the Wash
ington Board of Rabbis; Bis
hop B. Julian Smith, vice chair
man of the Commission on Re
ligion and Race of the National
Council of Churches; and Rabbi
Uri Miller, president of the
Synagogue Council of America.
ARCHBISHOP O'Boyle told
President Johnson that he want
ed to report to him "the feel
ings of all of us after our tre
mendous gathering last even
ing.”
"Thousands of American cit
izens, representing all reli
gious faiths, assembled to tes
tify to one thought,” the Arch
bishop said. "This was our
common conviction that civil
rights deeply involve the moral
and religious convictions of our
nation.”
"Our convocation was not
political," Archbishop O'Boyle
emphasized. "We neither made
promises nor uttered threats to
any elected official. Our sole
concern was to insist that ef
fective civil rights legislation
is morally right. We appealed
to the conscience of our nation
and its legislators.”
'THERE ARE'times in his
tory when greatness is barely
adequate,” Archbishop O’Boyle
continued. "Men are asked al
most routinely to do what earl
ier might have seemed heroic.
So far as civil rights are con
cerned, we are in such a time.
At long last, our nation has seen
in full clarity the wrong that it
has done our Negro brothers.
In conscience, we can do no
less than redress this wrong,
fully, completely, and without
equivocation,
"Such was the sense of our
convocation. We tell you this,
Mr. President, since you rep
resent all Americans. We know
that you agree fully with this
moral and religious view of our
racial crisis. Our prayers and
support will be with you as you
guide our Congress to an early
enactment of a law that protects
the God given rights of man.”
Several times in his re
sponse, President Johnson re
ferred to the White House as
"your house,” and he said they
had met in "the first house of
the land,” and were willing to
answer the roll, and to stand up
and be counted for morality
right,
THE PRESIDENT said today
"the problem of racial wrongs
and racial hatreds is the central
moral problem of our repub
lic.”
He said that from the time of
the Jewish prophets "men of
God have taught us that social
problems are moral problems
on a huge scale,” and that dur
ing the 19th century many of
them suffered for demanding an
end to the moral evil of slav
ery.
"Today again hostility and
misunderstanding, and even
violence, awaits the man who
attempts to translate the mean
ing of God's love into the actions
and thoughts of this world,” the
President continued.
'TODAY again the hope for
happiness of millions of Negro
Americans can be profoundly
affected by your efforts. And to
day again religion has one of
those rare historical opportuni
ties to renew its own purpose,
to enhance the dignity of its
heritage.
"Our most immediate need
is to pass the civil rights bill
now before Congress.”
The President noted that 30
states, covering nearly two-
thirds of the nation's popula
tion, already have public ac
commodations statutes and or
dinance!, "and business estab
lishments In these states are
still flourishing.”
'THIS BILL Is going to pass
If It takes all summer—it is
going to be signed and enacted
Into law—because morality and
Justice demand it,” the Presi
dent continued,
"But laws and government
are, at best, coarse Instruments

tions or illuminating the dark

FLUSHING MEADOW, NY.
(NC) — American religious
pluralism is nowhere more
spectacular evident than at the
midcentury extravaganza call
ed the New York World’s Fa.r
If the exhibition's planners,
headed by Robert Moses, over
looked anything it was not re
ligion. Within one day’s visit,
sightseers can study the lives
of the Old Testament Jews, in
quire without embarrassment
about more than 20 Protestant
denominations, talk with a
member of P.O.A.U. and lis
ten to a sermon in the accents
of modern science.
EIGHT pavilions in this oth
erwise materialistic Valhalla
are specifically devoted to re
ligion and they represent an in
vestment of more than $12mil
lion.
The exhibits range from the
gold-roofed Vatican Pavilion of
the 560-million-member Cath
olic Church to a display or
ganized by a 66-member Pro
testant church in Queens, N.Y.
In addit on, scores of other
buildings provide exhibits of a
religious nature. These include
the Christian Stat ons of the
Cross which adorn the facade
of the Jordan Pavilion, as well
as that country's replica of a
Moslem mosque and a display
of assorted Korans. A grey
cathedral is neatly nestled with
in the spacious confines of Gen
eral Motor’s City of Tomor
row, and the Thailand Pavilion
is fashioned in the shape of a
historic Buddhist shrine in
Bangkok, Even the Hall of Free
Enterprise is modeled after a
Grecian temple, complete with
votive lamp.
THE FOLLOWING are the
eight religious pavilions:
• Vatican Pavilion, with
Michelangelo's Pleta, the prin
cipal attraction. Other "musts”
are the replica of the Tomb of
St. Peter, the fourth century
statue of the Good Shepherd,
and the color transparancles
of Michelangelo's SistineChap
el. The exhibit provides all
kinds of educational material
and has a chapel which can be
converted into an auditorium
places of the human heart.”
'They can deal only with the
broadest and most obvious
problems: guarding against
segregation in schools but not
against the thousands of inci
dents of discrimination and hat
red which give the lie to what is
learned in the schoolroom.
'THEY CAN call for the high
est standards of moral conduct,
but those standards are only
tortuously Imposed on a com
munity which does not accept
them. For laws do not create
moral convictions--those con
victions must come from with, n
the people themselves.
"It Is your job—as men of
God—to reawaken the con
science of our beloved land, the
United States of America,
“It is your Job—as prophets
in our time—to direct the im
mense power of religion in
shaping the conduct and thoughts
of men toward their brothers in
a manner consistent with com
passion and love.
“Help us—in this hour—to
see and do what must be done.
"Inspire us with renewed
faith.
"Stir our consciences.
"Strengthen our will.
"Inspire and challenge us to
put our principles into action.
"For the future of our faith
is at stake.
"We are all brothers,” the
President added. "Brothers to
gether, we must build this great
nation into a great family.”
for Communion breakfasts and
lectures.
• Protestant and Orthodox
Centers, containing displays
and exhibits of 20 denomina
tions and groups. The center
has an auditorium where films-
-including the controversial
"Parable,” a cartoon feature
in which Christ or the Christian
is sympathetically portrayed as
a suffering circus clown—is
exhibited. A cross made from
a charred beam of England's
war-destroyed Coventry cathe
dral is on display, as are two
intricately carved wooden pan
els, the work of 25 years of an
Orthodox monk on Mount Athos.
One olive wood panel depicts
the life of Christ through the
Ressurection and has a cen
ter panel representing the Last
Judgment. The second carving
is a large rendition of the Cru
cifixion. Protestants and Other
Americans United for Separa
tion of Church and State have
a booth at the center,
THE RUSSIAN Orthodox
Greek Catholic exhibit is a
full-size replica of the simple
wooden chapel that was built
in 1823 at Fort Ross, Calif.,
and which is now a national
shrine. The Holy Icon of Our
Lady of Kazan, one of the most
venerated in the Orthodox East,
is the princ pal attraction.
• Sermons From Science, an
exhibit sponsored by a group of
Christian businessmen which
attempts to demonstrate that
"science, God and the Bible
are in complete harmony."One
eye-catch»ng demonstration has
one million volts of electricity
pass through the body of a man
without killing him. The expla
nation given is that the man is
not attuned to the frequency of
the voltage, although he con
fesses that "it gives me quite
a Jolt.” The sermon drawn
from this experience is that

TENAFLY, N, J,—The Very

visor of St. Anthony’s Mission
House here since October 12,
1937 and saw much service in
Georgia, will mark his dia-
with God He will have no effect
on their lives. There is a half-
hour show every hour.
• BILLY GRAHAM Evange
listic Association, the only
frankly evangelistic venture
at the fair. A film showing the
revivalist's work and message
will be followed up by personal
counseling if the visitor choos
es.
• Christian Science Pavil
ion, an audio-visual exhibit to
show the work of the church
and the "lost element of heal
ing in Christianity." Daily re
ports from worldw.de corre
spondents of the Christian
Science Monitor also will be
featured.
• Pavilion of 3,000 Tribes
show ng the missionary work
on four continents of the Wy-
cllffe Bible Translators. Ad
mission Is free but there is a
charge of 50 cents to see a
"heroic mural,” the only such
fee among the eight.
• MORMON Pavilion, fronted
by a 120-feet-high re-creation
of the facade of the Church’s
tabernacle in Salt Lake City,
is a large and ambitious dis
play of the work and beliefs
of the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints.
• JUDAISM is represented at
the American-lsraeli Pavilion
and by an exhibit of the Jewish
Information Society of Ameri
ca. Included will be a replica
of King Solomon’s Temple in
which Hebrews of that time re
cite the Ten Commandments in
Hebrew and English, a display
showing how Jews of the Dias
pora lived in eight different
parts of the world, the recon
struction of a street in the
Jerusalem of 2,500 years ago,
a domestic scene from the year
600 B.C., and a Passover scene
from 14th century Spam. A To
rah that once belonged to the
Russian Czar also will be dis
played.
There was only one religious
structure at the 1939 New York
World's Fair. Many feel, how
ever, that the more numerous
displays in 1964 reflect less a
revival in religion in America
than a determination of reii-
g.ous bodies to be in the world.

Mass of Thanksgiving in Our
Lady of Mount Carmel Church

Father Barthlen was ordain

eled to the United States.
Fr. Barthlen arrived in Sav
annah, Ga., December 16 of that
year, and on the following day,
preached his first sermon in
English In the United States at
St. Anthony’s Mission Church.
He continued on his travels that
same week, being assigned to
the Negro community In Aug
usta, where he remained, at
Immaculate Conception
Church, until 1920.
During his tenure in Augusta,
the new church, rectory and
school were built, and in
1916 a two-year high school was
opened for the Negro children.
IN 1920, FATHER Barthlen
was transferred to Savannah as
pastor of St. Anthony's, where
he had preached for the first
time on United States soil. In
1921 he was assigned to Tena-
fly, New Jersey.

ned to parish work in Macon,
Ga., as pastor of St. Peter
Claver Church. In this assi
gnment he remained until his
return to Tenafly in 1937. Dur
ing those 13 years, however,
he built a 500-seat church,
which was dedicated in 1927,
