Maddox Says He’s Not To Blame
For Ad Valorem Tax Increases
JEKYLL ISLAND, Ga. (UPI)
— Gov. Lester Maddox lashed
out today at opponents who
have blamed him for recent ad
valorem tax increases.
“They came as a direct
result of bills passed and court
orders issued before my admin
istration took office,” he said.
The governor made the re
marks in an address before the
Georgia Tax Assessors summer
conference here.
Maddox said he hopes the
recommendations of his new
Tax Study Commission will be
ready far the next session of
the General Assembly so posi
tive action can be taken in
areas such as intergovernment
al fiscal relations.

i The governor also restated
his opposition to a local option
i sales tax.
“Regardless of the opposition,
I will resist to the fullest extent
,; of my ability and influence
. j those who insist upon a local
• ■ option sale tax,” he said.
He charged that proponents
of the local sales tax are ”ob
■ ligated to special interest
' groups.” Maddox added that
turning the sales tax, the ma
jor source of state revenue,
. over to others would jeopardize
many state programs.
He reiterated his proposal to
introduce legislation to change
the present law requirng 100
per cent assessment at market
value to 40 per cent.

Dynamic Church Voices
Muted in Today's Society
I By DAVID POLING
’ Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
&
I When Dr. Robert J. McCracken announced his retirement
I from Riverside Church in New York this spring, he was com
“ pleting much more than 20 years of pastoral leadership. He
i may have signaled the close of a period of distinguished
« preaching that has been the dynamic quality of so much of-
American church life.
Riverside Church, with Dr. McCracken and his predecessor
Harry Emerson Fosdick, has been the center of thrilling ser
mons and inspiring addresses for almost half a centurv.
| Nevertheless, a steady decline in church attendance in the
last decade has shown that the era of the popular preacher
, may be over in this country.
Why is this? What has happened to the religious communi
| ty that produced George Buttrick, Ralph Sockman, Halford
| Luccock. Joseph Fort Newton and Charles R. Brown?
First of all, consider the change of emphasis that has gone
I on in parish life. The pastor who may have aspired to becom-
I ing a great preacher spends a chunk of time in a building
I program. Days and months and often years are monopolized
I with fund raising, congregational meetings, architectural con-
f suitants and financial wizards. Add to this the increasing
| amount of pastoral counseling done by the local minister,
I plus keeping up with a highly mobile congregation and you
? have lost forever the leisurely hours of study and sermon
f preparation that are the secret weapons of every great
? preacher.
I More than this, any pastor at all aware of the social issues
crackling across his community will be deeply involved in the
war on poverty, integrated housing, and exerting energy to
help teen-agers open a coffee house. In this schedule he may
be leading a community study group on Vietnam or prepar
ing for a two-weeks tour of duty at a summer conference.
Let’s face it, parents want their pastor to be a top youth
leader and most great preachers are lousy water skiiers!
Another reason for the decline in preaching is the compe
tition that the pulpit has from so many other sources of com
munication. A century ago the pastor did not compete with
radio, television or the movies. He was the man in the e-ves
of the public. Now his congregation hears and sees the best
in public speaking at any time of day and the pastor is just
one among many.
i* Some preachers have noted the short attention spans of
Y their audiences. People who would follow a 40-minute sermon
30 years ago get restless after 18 minutes today. The listener,
srt who has become conditioned to a five-minute newscast, and a
ct- 15-minute quarter in football, is not going to support oratory
that goes much beyond noon.
to While we may agree that the decline in preaching is a uni
versal experience there are preachers who attract wide fol
lowings. I’m thinking of Bishop Gerald Kennedy of Los Ange
“ les, Ralph Loew of Buffalo, Theodore Ferris in Boston, David
xr « MacLennan in Florida. Younger men who have maintained
vigorous pastoral leadership and pulpit prowess are Buckner
in * Fanning of San Antonio, Tex., Robert Raines of Germantown,
Pa., and John Hoyt in Detroit.
for What is called for is a resolve to devote the time required
ich m writing your own material and a deep yearning to per
art suade others of the rightness of your cause. If this happens
us. both church and state will enjoy the benefits.
