Title: President Johnson.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: PC-30254 PRESIDENT JOHNSON Lyndon Baines Johnson of Texas, the 36th President of the United States. Succeeding to the office of the Chief Executive upon the assassination of President Kennedy, Mr. Johnson is shown in a recent photograph taken at his office in the Capitol Building. A member of the International Convention of Christian Churches (Disciples of Christ), he has said that while the nation believes in separation of Church and State, there “is no separation between the men of the state and faith in God. The private unity of public men with their God in prayer is the enduring source of our unity…Godless nations may become powerful in the world…(but)…people do not prosper when their leaders are godless.” Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (W-NY-11E-63-W)
