Magic aids Protestant clergy in modern ministry
In St Louis a Sunday feature reports how Protestant ministers using magic tricks during conventions and in parish settings show religion and magic can complement each other. Rev Robert C Anderson of Ft Leonard Wood demonstrates transforming silk handkerchiefs into a butterfly scarf to illustrate turning fragmented lives toward worth and service. Maj Wayne Lockhart of the Salvation Army converts black silk to white as a life change example, a popular trick in prison visits. Other magi-ministers entertain hospital patients and aid Sunday School and church parties.

Righteousness in Psalms and the justice of rulers
N Speer Jones discusses the meaning of righteousness in Psalm 11 where David refuses to flee, Faith in God upholding rightness prevents cowardice. He notes Psalm 72 as possibly Solomon’s, praying for justice for his heir, but finding oppression remains. Psalm 82 condemns unjust judges, with “gods” referring to human judges, while the Son of God is shown in the New Testament as the one who judges.
