FATHER BARTHLEN 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 for remodling social Institu tions or illuminating the dark VATICAN LEADS World’s 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 if men are properly related Ed Sullivan WASHINGTON, D.C. (RNS)— Ed Sullivan, newspaper column ist and television personality, was swarded the third annual "Brlen McMahon Memorial Award for Dedicated Public Service” by the Fordham Uni versity Club of Washington. TENAFLY, N, J,—The Very Rev. Alfonse J. Bartheln, S. M. A., who has been sup- 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. mond Jubilee of ordination May 12 at 6:30 p.m. at a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving in Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church here.
