...moon. You can't kill no meat on the new of the moon. It will be tough. I studied the calendar and the almanac, and the soonest I can do it is around the ninth or tenth of next month." Then there is the hillbilly's fundamentalist religion, ever inveighing against sins of the city. Two years ago, at a revival meeting in Handshoe Hollow's Holiness Church, snake handling was part of the ritual -until one of the faithful grabbed a purely satanic copperhead, got bitten and nearly died...

In appeal and purpose, Communism today is unquestionably a failing creed...
...annual General Assembly in Portland recently, the tiny (12,500 members), fundamentalist Orthodox Presbyterian Church formally extended a hand of welcome to any who would like to leave the 3,300,000-member United Presbyterian Church. The same gesture was made by the equally small Bible Presbyterian Church, headed by Radio Preacher Carl Mclntire. Both churches clearly hope to swell their ranks with conservative Presbyterians dismayed by the "Confession of 1967," approved in principle at the United Presbyterian General Assembly last May (TIME, June...
