To many there and on topside, I gave absolution. From the mag- azines below decks, a steady stream of seamen, grimy with sweat and smeared with oil, carried boxes of ammunition to the hatchways and up the ladders to the guns. 6 A REPORT TO MOTHERS AND MATHERS About an hour later, orders came casions, when a man lying on a to remove the wounded by boat to table saw another who he thought the Air Station Dispensary.

When he visits the large USO Centers, conducted by the Army and Navy Y.M.C.A., the Jewish Welfare Board, the Salvation Army, and the National Catholic Community Service, he discovers at once that the people of Honolulu are for him and with him, heart and soul.

PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR (Adapted from Cardinal Newman) o Lord Jesus Christ, Who in Thy mercy hearest the prayers of sinners, pour forth, we beseech Thee, all grace and blessing upon our country and its citizens. We pray in particular for the Presi- dent-for our Congress-for all our soldiers-for all who defend us in ships, whether on the seas or in the skies-for all who are SUf- fering the hardships of war. We pray for all who are in peril or in danger. Bring us all after the troubles of this life into the haven of peage, and reunite us all togeth- er forever, 0 dear Lord, in Thy glorious heavenly kingdom.

Even now, during our temporary loss of the Philippines, the Chaplains are still with their soldiers, minister- ing to their spiritual needs. In the second place, the govern- ment has built army chapels throughout the country. Never be- fore has any nation initiated such a program. Over six hundred chapels have already been constructed at a cost of over 13 millions of dollars. In the third place, the govern- ment has provided funds for other equipment. $50,000 has been made available to the Chief of Chaplains yearly, to purchase materials for different religious usages. Funds have been appropriated for the publication of hymnals so edited as to be of use to all the men in the army. Finally, the government has pro- vided for the publication of the ganizations. For . example, grate- ful acknowledgment must be made of the splendid and lasting results achieved through the extensive and untiring efforts of , the National Catholic Community Service and the five other affiliated agencies of the USO. But I have deliberately outlined only what the government is doing, at its own expense, for your Ilons. Soldiers are not compelled to ~t­ tend any religious services. So, perhaps you may ask~ Are our sons using the chapels and the other facilities provided for them? The question may be answered in this way: In general, the men re- flect the training and the habits of their civilian life. Many of those who disregarded religion during their formative years continue to do so. Those who practised reli- gion in civil life are usually faith- ful while in the service.

Prayer in Time of War THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR (Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the inaugural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.) Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who, by their financial support, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broadcasting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent answering of inquiries, must be met .... This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of service to America, which certainly will lil!!ten in interestedly, and even sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with its own notable contribution to the discovery, explora- tion, foundation and growth of our glorious country .... Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light task. Our prayers will be with those who have that task in hand. We feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less material, and a more spiritual standard among our people. With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympa- thy for all, this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be fulfilled. This word of dedication voices, there- fore, the hope that this radio hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ, our faith, which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve to make better understood that faith as it really is-a light revealing the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine through Christ; pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to OUl" searching and ques- tioning hearts. 104 CATHOLIC HOUR STATIONS In 41 Sta.tes, the District af Columbia, and Hawaii Birmingham ... ....................... ................
