The text argues that church attendance does not define a Christian. Faith in Jesus Christ saves, not affiliation with a church. A person may be a Christian without church membership, but must still serve and witness to Jesus, otherwise they are unlightened and disobedient.

State Guardsmen To Be In Uniform
About 4,000 Alabama National Guardsmen will go on active duty Sunday as federal authorities plan possible enforcement of school desegregation at the University of Alabama. The Guardsmen, part of the 31st Infantry Division, are slated for two weeks of training, but officials say the timing is coincidental to the university crisis. Federal officials stress that if needed, overwhelming force will be used to ensure admission of three Negroes next Tuesday in Tuscaloosa and Thursday in Huntsville, with Governor Wallace’s actions determining whether federal troops or state officers intervene. The question of using training guardsmen to enforce court orders remains theoretical, since they could be federalized by the President, but the aim is to have them mustered should Kennedy decide to deploy them.
