...Baptist layman, I would humbly like to take issue with the Rev. Bliss Wiant. He opposes the singing of gospel hymns in churches [Aug. 31]. These old hymns have been a source of hope and consolation to millions of people throughout the world; they promise help to those who are faithful, honest, and prayerful...
Thus among the countless traumas a freshman may fall heir to, an agonizing struggle in Hum 5 or Phil 1 with Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion is evidently one of the most severe; many a small town has lost its most promising Baptist in those ordeals, and many a fashionable parish the scion of its most prominent Episcopalian. Freud's Moses and Monotheism or The Future of an Illusion must provoke nearly equal distress; one atheist passes up all alternatives listed on the questionnaire and writes, "God is man's interpretation of what dissatisfies him....

Ross Barnett. the tenth son of a Confederate veteran, is a prosperous Jackson damage-suit lawyer and a Baptist deacon, and, happily for his campaign, he talks and acts like a back country bumpkin, a campaign posture that wowed the rednecks.

As rescuers start drilling to the roof of the cave, Isaac spiels out a professionally emotional account into his tape recorder and fires it off to a radio station.* Soon...
...that inspired it. For oldtime Moviemaker Rowland V. Lee (The Count of Monte Cristo) knows just where the millions lie: in fictionalized history, resplendently costumed, sexed up, and heavily flavored with religion. There are sumptuous orgies in palaces that look like the new banks of Beverly Hills; John the Baptist is beheaded in 70-mm. Panavision, color and stereophonic sound; and "the temptress" (Martha Hyer) moves about murmuring to Herod Antipas, "You thrill my inmost being." There is also the Sermon on the Mount, delivered by an offstage voice in soft-sell tones. There are stabbings, hurricanes, ambushes, chases...
