New York, Jersey Courts
Rule on Issues Of Religion

i verSion) was q sectarian book.
It's distribution in public schools
constitutes favoritiSm toward
fone religion. the opinion said.
The New Jersey case attracted
wide attention. The Gideons
have been very active trying to
distribute their Bibles to public
school children in, many parts
of the country. But In virtually
all previous disputes over the
legality or wisdom Of passing
out Bibles In the schools. the
matter has been settled on the
local level.
Justice Vanderbilt's opinion
noted that New Jerseys consti-
tuition specifically forbade the
government to show a preference
for one religion over another
and that the United States Con-
stitution's prohibition against
any law respecting the estab-
lishment of religion" had been
interpreted by the courts as for
bidding preferential treatment.
On this point. the opinion said.
the court based it's decision.
"Such favoritism cannot be toll
Grated (and Isl a clear violation
Of the Bill Of Rights of our
Constitutions" it said.
Justice Vanderbilt also COM
mented that if the distribution
of a sectarian book was per-
mitted, I'VE would be renewing
the ancient struggles among the
various. religious faiths to the
detriment of ALL" III

The Week in Religion
By Religious News Service

Americas courts made reli-
gious news this week. Several
significant decisions were handed
down, most Of them bearing on
the broad question Of religious
freedom and the related subject
of church-S State relations.
In a AZ decision, the New
York State Court of Appeals at
Albany ruled that civil courts
had no right to interfere in q
proposed merger of the Con-
gregational Christian churches
with the Evangelical and Re
formed Church.
The court affirmed a decision
by the appellate division OF the
Supreme Court of New York
that the courts lacked juris-
-diction because no property
rights were involved.
The lower court ruling had
been appealed by the Cadman
Memorial Church of Brooklyn,
New York, which was backed in
its opposition to the merger by
q national Committee for the
Continuation of the Congrega-
tional Christian Churches. They
claimed that the denomina-
tions General Council had no
power to make the merger.
Property Rights Cited.
i In its ruling. the Appellate
division had said that in such
disputes ecclesiastical or doc
Strinal questions may be in
squired into only in so far as it
may be necessary to do so to
determine the civil or property
rights Of the parties"
/. The New York Appeals Court
supported this view and added:
1.-THE proof having been es-
tablished that the basis Of
union is voluntary and in no
way interferes with congrega-
.tional faith or manner of wor-
ship. and the plaintiffs having
failed to show that any general
funds are being used for other
than authorized charter pur-
poses, the complaint was prop
erly dismissed on the merits"
Congregational and Evange-
lical and Reformed leaders
:hailed the decision as impor-
:tant in confirming the principle
that churches may run their
own affairs without interfer-
:ence or control by secular
courts.
However, negotiations toward
union, if resumed, may have to
start virtually from scratch.
DR.. James E. Wagner, president
of the Evangelical and Reformed
Church, said that because Of
the long delay there obviously
has been a decline Of interest in
the merger throughout both de-
nominations"
New Jersey Ruling.
, In a case dealing with another
important facet of Church-State
relations, the New Jersey Su-
.preme Court ruled unanimously
that distribution Of the King
James version of the New TeSta-
:ment was illegal in the States
public schools.

corn fields during late June or
early July when the small grains
begin to dry up. Since the insect
does not have wings, they must
crawl in search of the nearest
cornfield. And herein lies one of
the major secrets of control meas
ures to be used.
1t is too late to do this now, in
most cases, but it will be well to
remember in the future. Try to
keep the small grain fields separ-
ated from corn fields. Adjoining
fields make it a simple matter for
the chinch bugs to crawl from one
to the other
Another method of control is to
plant a barrier of soybeans around
the corn fields. The bugs turn nos
es up at soybeans.
My dad always used a creosote
barrier back before the days of
chemicals as we know them today.
And creosote is still very effective
in stopping the invasion of chinch
bugs. 1t takes about so gallons of
creosote to make a quarter mile
barrier for the season. For the
most effective control, apply creo-

sote every day as long as the bugs
are around.
One of the newest methods OF
control is a chemical called dield-
rim. Dieldrin is applied by spray
ing at the rate of one half pound
per acre.
If you use dieldrin, spray strip
about four rods wide where fields
of small grain and corn join. Two
rods may be in the small grain
field and two rods in the corn field
if they join each other. The bugs
are killed when they come in con-
tact with dieldrin.
This chemical remains effective
from seven to IA days where in
festation is moderate. If the bugs
are thick, another application may
have to be used.
Don't harvest treateu grain un-
til seven days or more after dield-
rim has been applied. Treated
straw or corn fodder should not
be fed to livestock until 80 days
after treatment.
