This is not a singing war—it is a fighting war. During the past year, our men and their comrades of the United Nations have won many hard-earned victories. I knew the Pearl Harbor blue- jacket, f o r I met him the day he came in sports clothes to the gate of our Training Station. Then, for four years, I served with him in ships of the Pacific Fleet, observ- ing him at drills, in sea maneuvers, and on liberty ashore. I greeted him on board ship when he came to worship God at Holy Mass. His heroic performance at Pearl Harbor did not surprise me. He joined the Navy, fired with the free spirit of the American boy, cheerfully ready to face a period of mental and physical training which changed him from a happy-go-lucky imma- ture lad, into a dependable, effi- cient, God-fearing man of the sea. The change was not a difficult pro- cess because he had already learned in his Christian hofne of the ideals of citizenship. He also knew that the Navy was not a national in- strument of aggression but a first line of defense of a nation which had taught him that it is a God- given right to be free to live peace- fully in the pursuit of happiness, and that it is a sacred duty to rec- ognize that our fellow men are en- titled to that same right. I t is gratifying to know t h a t it is not necessary, in the Nazi and Nipponese manner, to brutalize our young men in order to fit them to fight a ruthless enemy. Those of our heroes who have already re- turned from the scene of battle are little changed except for the claims of wounds and sickness. They may be concerned about con- ditions on the home-front but they feel out there that they and their comrades are taking part in a modern crusade. Their aim in this fight for freedom is to do their duty without fear and with- out reproach. We can be thankful for the way the American people have answer- ed the Axis threats to destroy our freedom. Every home in the land has its representatives doing their share of the work to save us from ruin. Every home in the land is suffering the shock of this war's unlimited demands because our women, faced as they are with new tasks and strange responsibilities, are now called upon reluctantly to take a more active part in the war effort while at the same time they must preserve their sanctified place of. responsibility in the home— A D D R E S S BY CHAPLAIN MAGUIRE 5 which is the center of love and beauty and all that is fine. The men of our armed forces are well equipped to fulfill their mis- sion and their letters to you tell of the thoroughness of their training f o r battle. As never before, our military and naval leaders are selecting officers and men for placement under that training for which they are best fitted. For the past twelve months I have noticed an absence of hurry and nervous- ness in the way the work is being done. The rapid expansion in per- sonnel and material that marked the early days of the war, has given way to a steady, cool, and studious procedure. Our men receive the best of food; they are comfortably housed; welfare officers provide athletics and other forms of amuse- ment; doctors and nurses care for them in excellent hospitals; in new chapels ashore and on the decks of our ships at sea, churchmen serve in their apostolate the precious souls of our fighting men. An Admiral, who recently re- turned f r o m an important com- mand in the Pacific, lately inspect- ed one of the chapels which are the pride of the Training Station at San Diego. Leaving the North Chapel, which he greatly admired, he said, "A few days ago, before sailing for the mainland, the com- manding officer of an Air Station came to me and reported that he needed only two things to make the Station as he wanted it—a chapel and a swimming pool." The Ad- miral gave me to believe that the Air Station commander succeeded in obtaining the two important means he needed for keeping fit for battle the bodies and souls of the men of his outpost. From the point of view which years of naval experience have given me, I feel impelled to ask you, my friends of the Catholic Hour, not to worry about your boys. The American sailor or marine leads an ordered life; he works through a disciplined day; he is inspired by ideals and tradi- tions of an honorable service; his spiritual needs are recognized and they receive Gareful attention. A f t e r twenty-six years in the Chap- lain Corps of the Navy, I have en- joyed many happy compensations, and not the least has been the privilege of standing before large groups of strong men, to call f o r a volunteer to serve at Holy Mass, and to find a husky bosun's, mate step up and become again a bash- ful altar boy. The Mass and the Sacraments really matter in the life of our soldier, bluejacket, and marine. When the main body of the 6 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS A N D MOTHERS Fleet, a few years ago, was based at a port in Southern California, I once heard a pastor of a large parish tell his congregation that he hoped they would take note of the many sailors from the Fleet who, while still fasting from midnight, received Holy Communion at the late Masses. He reminded them that the .sailors had been out of their bunks and hammocks early and had probably done a good day's work before "hitting the beach." He praised the bluejackets for their devotion and fidelity, and he added that they were setting a good example, and hoped his peo- ple would observe and follow it. To serve worthily with the colors, a man must have in his make-up a high respect for authority and a lively respect for himself. One of the strange paradoxes of this dreadful war is that even while men go forth on orders to kill, they meet God as they go. Perhaps they recall the words of our Savior, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caes- a r ' s ; and to God, the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21). A few days ago, a bluejacket went f a r out of his way to call on me. He is an aviation radioman. With orders to f l y - t h a t night to, Hawaii, he heard that I was on duty at the Training Station and he came across the bay simply to tell me how he and his shipmates had appreciated my saying Mass for them last year at the Air Sta- tion on Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii. He was afraid I would never learn how grateful they were for the chance to attend the Holy Sacrifice and to receive the Sacraments. We priests are not worried about your boy. You gave him a good start when he was young. You taught him how to pray and how to respect and revere his Church and how to live in the way of Christ's teaching. You made of him a good citizen and a true patriot. If you could hear your boy sing at Mass the hymns he used to sing in his church back home, such favorites as, "Mother Dear O Pray For Me" and, "Holy God We Praise Thy Name," you would have less anxiety in your heart, for you are greatly responsible f o r his Faith and his strong and good character. As evidence of what the Church has given your boy, here is a quotation from a letter written to his parents by a young para- trooper Marine in the South Pa- cific: "During the week you seem so f a r away and then during Mass on Sunday, I seem to be so close to you that when Mass is over, I turn around to look at you—to A D D R E S S BY CH. walk home with you." We priests are merely taking over the duties you so well performed when your boy sought comfort and guidance from your maternal heart. I have spoken of our warriors. They are superb. But what of the citizen at home? An American Cardinal has said, "Of all the gifts of heaven to any land, a good citi- zen is the greatest and the best." . . . "God has given to each his special sphere, his particular work to do; and the work of each, well done, fits into the design of the whole plan and completes the whole. With the individual's work undone or feebly done, the whole design becomes uneven and sym- metry is utterly destroyed." The fighting man in war depends for victory on the ideals in the hearts of the workers on the home front. Never before have we so bad- ly needed ideals to motivate the lives of those who today live and work safely within the continental limits of the United States. As a nation, war is not our ideal. We were not brought up to vaunt of battles won or of enemies slain. To us, peace is better than mar- tial glory. But the Church teaches us that God is the origin of all au- thority and law, and that the same God Who has said, "Keep My com- ^.PLAIN MAGURIE 7 mandments," compels by the sanc- tion of His Own Divine Authority, the obedience of men to the civil laws of the land. It is the prayer of every soldier, sailor, and marine that every American at home be diligent in his work and loyal to the flag of his country. To the mothers, wives, and sweethearts whose loved ones no longer live to bear the brunt of battle, may God in His mercy lessen the burden of your sorrow. To you whose sons, daughters, and husband» are still carrying on the hard fight, may I again say, "Do not worry." Pray for them, with full resignation to God's will. Write often to them but always cheerfully. You have been told this before but it is really quite impor- tant that you show that you also are brave by keeping from your letters all, trivial troubles of the home lest you cause your valiant men to worry about you. Today we can be thankful for the progress we are making, inspired by the leadership of our President. Last year, in a letter acknowledging the support our Catholic Bishops were giving his war program, Mr. Roosevelt said, "We shall win this war and in the victory, we shall seek not vengeance but re-estab- lishment of an international order 8 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS A N D MOTHERS in which the spirit of Christ shall rule in the hearts of men of all nations." What better encouragement could we seek? Has a nation in war ever been inspired with a higher motive than to establish in the hearts of men the reign of Christ the King? God grant t h a t our next Me- morial Day may dawn in the glow of triumphant peace.

To combat this spiritual enemy the chaplains of all faiths are working hard, and despite the acute short- age of chaplains, they are carrying on nobly. But we must find a more fundamental answer to the pagan- ism and irreligion of our country, that we may be a stronger, more virile nation. To the youth of our country, to parents with small chil- dren, to the leaders of civil and national life, to the workers in the city and on the farm, in war fac- tories and in the mines, and to all Americans: I want to ask you a very pointed question—Did you do your duty to God today? Did you go to church today? The sincere return to religion and to its principles is the only solution. Since religion presup- poses an attempt to know God, let me ask: What are you doing about the education and the training of youth, that God and His laws may be known? Years of godless educa- tion in America, of that school- mad era in which the mind was trained but the will left out, has left its mark on our manhood. No American in North Africa needs to be reminded that our na- tion, with our allies, is launched on a world crusade for liberty and for the freedom of suppressed peo- ples, for we have seen the awful sacrifice necessary to perform this gigantic task. The carefully tend- ed graves of the men who gave their lives are the only testimony we here need. Americans have died in this holy cause, and they will have died in vain if we fail to learn the greatest lesson of the war. We must get down on our knees, we must return to God, we must be faithful to t h e ' reli- gious beliefs we hold! This return to God must not be individual but collective: Each person in the world, and the world together! The leaders of the allied nations now are planning for the peace to come. The principles of Christ and His justice must be the guiding star, the foundation of this peace; and we should pray, too, that these leaders be guided by the almighty power of God, and we should not forget to pray that the enemy too will return to the principles of reli- gion. Sixteen centuries ago in this very country, there lived a mother and a son. Monica was the name of the mother, and Augustine the name of the son. Like all mothers Monica worried about her son—he was away from the influence of home. This mother knew no limit to the sacrifice_ she offered, to the frequent journeys to the continent to speak with him and to urge him A D D R E S S BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 11 to return to God. Finally, her prayer was answered and Augus- tine came home. To the Monicas of America, to the mothers of the sons in the service, this lesson must be a bright clear guide: Pray, Sac- rifice, Act. To all those whose loved ones are missing in action, to you who have lost sons in this cause, religion is your only comfort. The soldier who has been under fire in the battlefield quickly learns the lesson of prayer. And may this lesson of prayer and sacrifice and action be our standard of victory. Maker of all, the Lord and Ruler of the height, Who robing day in light has poured soft slumbers o'er the night, That to our limbs the power of toil may be renewed And hearts be raised that sink and cower, and sorrows be. subdued.

Yet another outfit, "air men" this time, who were able to get a small building set aside as a chapel, chose f o r it the appropriate name of "Our Lady of the Sky." The universality of the Church comes homes to one again and again as he ministers to some of these groups. I recall a few months ago fifteen men kneeling in a line to receive Holy Communion, al- most every one of whom was an American with a different racial or national background. Not merely were these men of Irish, German, Polish, and Italian ex- traction, but in addition there was a Chinese, a Hawaiian, a Japanese- American, two negroes, and two American Indians—one a Crow and the other a Nez Perce from the State of Washington. "Their sound has gone out to the whole earth." The devotedness of our Catholic soldiers and sailors toward their religion has become known in many lands. In the midst of one of the great dislocations of humanity of all times, and amid one of the greatest opportunities of religion since the Apostolic Age, our soldiers are giving an excel- lent account of themselves. That good example-is, I believe, going to count in the reconstruction of the world when this - dreadful war is over. So tonight I bring you a message from our men in the Pa- cific area, that you may be proud of them, and that you may make ready now to welcome them home when they shall come back at last, stronger and finer for the hardships they have borne, and ready to ap- preciate their homes, their faith, and the liberty of free men, as never before.

Our own'service men have shown like charity, based on love of God, in their dealings with the inhabi- tants of the lands they have pene- trated. After their landings in North Africa, American soldiers gave generously of their meagre means to help repair the churches damaged by their shells. When re- cently enemy planes bombed a con- vent in North Africa and killed fifteen nuns, our men collected funds to help rebuild the convent for the forty orphans who survived the bombing. When in the South- west Pacific a Chaplain at the invi- tation of the local Bishop visited a leper colony, he returned to camp and told his soldiers of his visit; spontaneously they made up a purse of twelve hundred dollars for the assistance of the lepers. At a leper colony in our own West In- dies, the soldiers go regularly to entertain the lepers and furnish them with refreshments. Several months ago a young man on a small island in the Pacific wrote home expressing his regret that there was no priest stationed on the island; he added that on Sundays he gathered his Catholic companions together to say the ros- ary and read the Epistle and Gos- pel of the day's Mass. He added that he wanted a couple of cate- chisms, for the instruction of two boys of no religion who had shown an interest in learning about the Catholic Church. Through- the kindness of the Bishop of that island group, a missionary was sent there, and on Easter Sunday the soldier had the happiness of standing as godfather for his two neophytes. In the absence of the priest, he and his companions had won the affection of the natives, who asked them to share their little church on Sundays. The native catechist would conduct a religious service for his group, in- cluding a sermon; he would then bow profoundly to our sergeant and ask him to take over. Natives and-marines, natives and soldiers, natives and sailors, all over the island groups of the Southwest Pacific, have worked to- gether to build chapels of bamboo and palm, or other native mater- ials, to house altars designed and executed by graduates of our best schools of architecture. By request of their commanding officers, who have striven sedulous- A D D R E S S BY MOST REV. JOHN F. O'HARA 17 ly to cultivate the good will of the local population wherever our forces have penetrated, the Army and Navy chaplains have given spiritual assistance to local par- ishes and missions wherever there was need. Thus it has happened that our chaplains have had the care of parishes in North Africa and of missions in Guadalcanal and Tulagi. That spiritual charity has been repaid in kind. Missionaries and parish priests in Africa, in the Hawaiian Islands, in Iran, in Aus- tralia, in South America and Can- ada, in India, China, New Cale- donia, and Samoa—wherever, in- deed» our troops have been sta- tioned, local priests have assisted our chaplains in caring for their scattered flocks. Yes, home is where the altar is, and our men today are at home all over the world. And if the altar is not there, where is the home? Whatever political results may come of this war, whatever econom- ic or social schemes may grow out of it, its heartaches and its hor- rors will have been in vain unless the altar is restored to the home. Only God knows how much horror is needed to bring us to our knees. Only God knows whether we are learning the spiritual lessons we must master if we are to be worthy of peace. We can speed the day of peace by family prayers, by the family rosary every night for the men in service, by the restoration of the altar to the home. ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN THOMAS A.

Though I cannot quote figures, I can honestly say that 95% of the Catholics are very re- sponsive to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and that 40% of these re- ceive Holy Communion weekly." This report is a very good witness to the truth. The chaplain was there only two weeks and was re- porting what he found on his arrival. The work had been started by others. His task is to keep it going. Somewhere in New Guinea, he is thfis moment doing this splen- did work in the midst of the uncer- tainties of life in war. He is a man thirsting to gain the one cer- tainty of life, God. "Now this is eternal life. That they may know thee, the only t r u e God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent." Your men in the United States Armed Forces of the Southwest Pacific, as you would have them, are continuing to know Our Lord at Communion rails, made not of polished oak or pine, but green bamboo, not in prominently placed churches but in hidden jungle chapels. Again, I'll pick up reports of chaplains. The first reports an Easter Field Mass somewhere in Australia. Hundreds of soldiers came to the Communion rail with precision and dignity, genuflected two by two, then received their Lord, in Holy Communion. The great Sacrifice of the Mass drew to a close with all singing "Holy God We Praise Thy Name, Lord of all We Bow Before Thee." The echoes of this hymn died away, but not the impression of this Easter Military Field Mass—for later the Com- manding Officer said: "This is the most impressive Easter service I have ever witnessed." Another Chaplain, from one of our foremost outposts in New Guinea, reports: "At all night adoration of the Most Blessed Sac- rament Holy Thursday until the Mass of the Pre-sanctified at one o'clock Good Friday, the soldiers were very f a i t h f u l in their hour of adoration. The fellows got flowers for the altar Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday. With the new pews and a statue of the Sacred Heart in our jungle chapel, every- thing was almost like home." Stiffen a soldier's muscles, quicken his mechanical reflexes, make more cunning his brain, but neglect the fact that he has a soul, and that soldier becomes less man and more monster—for he was planned by his Creator to have a body and soul, each with its pro- portioned development. That such 20 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS A N D MOTHERS neglect does not prevail in the United States Army is due in part to chaplains of the United States Army who have gone before us— soldiers who were ever mindful of the soldier's souls; to commanding generals of other wars who have seen the work of these chaplains and approved. For Army regula- tions pertaining to the office of Chaplains are so wisely written that an Army chaplain has full scope, unassisted, 'in the perfor- mance of his one duty, the spiritual welfare of the men in his com- mand. Truly thankful then are we, in the United States Armed Forces of the Southwest Pacific, for a Commanding General who publicly petitions the guidance of God, whose commanding officers in the field cooperate with the chaplains by approying any reasonable sug- gestion for the spiritual good of the men. That all chaplains serving under him may have more promptly the religious equipment and sup- plies needed in their work, an allot- ment of funds has been granted the office of the chief Chaplain to buy these supplies in the local markets. The Catholic Chaplain, for example, is constantly supplied with Mass candles, Mass wine, hosts. All the rosaries available in Australia have been purchased and distribut- ed. Every available copy of My Sunday Missal by Father Stedman has been bought and placed in the hands of the men. Funds are available, but the local supplies ar'e limited, so we have to depend ,ever so much on the Chaplains Aid Association in New York, and the National Catholic Community Ser- vice in Washington. You can share this task of keeping the Catholic chaplain in supplies b j j v/riting to our Military Delegate, Bishop O'Hara, and to the Chaplains Aid Association, in New York. We are getting these supplies but we need more, especially missals and rosar- ies. We need more, your prayers— a good supply, for officers, chap- lains, and enlisted men have a long, long way to go together before they can go to their homes. For the present, we thank God for the f a i t h of the American soldier and the home from which he came. ADDRESS BY LT. COMMANDER JOHN F.

Who is Chaplain Ryan? 22 SECOND REPORT TO THE Why, he's just a Chaplain—he might have come to us from your city or your town or your state. He might have been your Pastor— or one of the assistants in your church. We fully realize that you must miss him—he's a spiritual tonic. His eagerness is that of St. Paul; his loyalty that of the Be- loved John; and his heaven-sent sense of humor will make his com- pany always inviting. And with his company there is divinely at- tached a wholesome presence for the Worship of God. Chaplain Ryan has reached the half-way mark in his eight weeks indoctrination course. He attended lectures f o r the first three weeks and now recalls those first days in the classroom. How strange to be again a student! But these lec- tures untangled the maze of ques- tionmarks he had accumulated. When and how to salute; the or- ganization of the Navy ashore and afloat; the peculiar language of the sea—he smiles at the simple rhym- ing of a poem about a sailor who came to dinner at his best-girl's home. How did part of it go? "While sitting at the table He needed elbow room, He looked at Dad and said: 'Say, Mate, Rig in your starboard boom'". Guest speakers were introduced. F A T H E R S A N D MOTHERS Experienced officers explained The Office of Naval Intelligence; The Training of Recruits; The Office of Public Relations, through which all printed and spoken words must be approved for public presenta- tion. Those classroom hours were f a r different from his anticipation. He thought the subjects would deal with religion, and spiritual values, and the souls of men. And then a member of the Faculty explained that all this was of set purpose. That these many clergymen of var- ied denominations had to be given a common objective interest about which they might speak imperson- ally. Here Christians and Jews discovered and discussed the Navy and the Navy's life. They often asked questions of each other and, f r e q u e n t l y , enjoyed well-taken smiles and laughs. Our Chaplain now realizes the importance of these weeks. Friendships were formed; mutual interest aroused; confidence founded. All this with- out theological differences punctuat- ing the conversation. Then, having found a common topic outside the realm of dogma, all "might more un- derstandingly discuss the prime ' purpose of their living under one roof, namely, "to bring men to God and God to men—in the Navy way." The third week, recalls Chaplain A D D R E S S BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 23 Ryan, was devoted to Divine Ser- vices. "Rig f o r Church" was the keynote. The entire class witnessed and had explained the Sacrifice of the Mass. The successive steps in a typical Protestant Service were discussed. The illustrated lecture on the teachings, practices, and lit- urgy of Judiasm—this last deliver- ed by the Jewish Chaplain on the Faculty Staff—was keenly appre- ciated. Truly, reflects our Chap- lain, this is a strange indoctrina- tion—it started in with salutes, and ships, and signal flags—and now it has evolved from military sal- utes to the saluting by worship of the Divine Commander-in-Chief; from ships to the men who man those ships—and then to the most important part of those men—their immortal soul?; from signal flags to the Church pennant, the only flag or pennant permitted to fly above our own National Colors. Be- cause of this planned routine many Chaplains of many creeds learn to live harmoniously together, to re- spect the rights of others, and to cooperate without compromise in giving God His rightful due. Following these first three weeks of classroom work, Chaplain Ryan spent the next two on assigned Field Work. He might have been ordered to a Naval Training Sta- tion—there to contact recruits; or to a "Sea-Bee" camp—there to serve the men whose motto is "Can Do," or the one reported over a busy Officer's desk: "Difficult tasks will be completed immediately. Inipos- sible ones may take a little longer." Or our Chaplain's Field Work might have found him serving Offi- cers and men of the United States Marine Corps—those sterling young men whose motto "Semper Fidelis" ("Always Faithful") applies not only to things of earth but to things of heaven as well. He en- joyed his Field Work assignment for more reasons than one. Most important, he became intimately reacquainted with the manhood of America, and these men of Amer- ica, for the first time p o s s i b l y , lived with a clergyman, a clergy- man who didn't impress them as one who was about to swoon in the odor of piety. A clergyman who spoke in Navy terms about Navy things. A clergyman who was wel- comed immediately into their num- bers because he, too, wears a ser- viceman's uniform; because by that very fact he proclaims his willing- ness to live the community life of his men, to share their joys and their sorrows, to face common dangers and possible death. He is back from Field Work now and he is eager to hear the ex- periences of his classmates during 24 SECOND REPORT TO THE F A T H E R S A N D MOTHERS their respective assignments. Pat- rick—who was sent to the Coast Guard; Tom—who served at a Naval Hospital; and Isaac—who was ordered to a Naval Air Station. These men will all add their ex- periences to his—the exchange will be mutual—the result comprehen- sive. Three weeks to go—and so much to be learned. The educa- tional duties; the administration of the ship's library; domestic re- lations problems proper to Navy- men; correct office procedure and official correspondence; Naval his- tory, customs, and traditions. These can now be taken in stride for the goal is just over the hori- zon. He feels better physically, too. The daily Physical Training Program gradually conditioned his body to withstand the hardships of combat duty—even though he as a Chaplain will not bear arms. He is more erect from the military drill; his muscles are taut from rigorous calesthenics; his face is bronzed from hours of cross-country hikes and runs. He has practiced swim- ming through burning oil and has "abandoned ship" down a cargo net into the purposely-churned swimming pool. All these qualifica- tions are necessary if he is to be all things to all men at all times—men who have taken upon themselves the defense of their country; men who are strong and healthy and who have complete confidence in their ability. He, their Chaplain, must not fail them physically or spiritually. He must under every difficult situation keep up with them so that he may continue to bring them to God and to bring God to them. During his eight weeks duty at the Naval Training School, for Chaplains, he has constantly sought aid from on high. If Protestant minister, he has attended morning devotions in the famous Sir Chris- topher Wren Chapel. If Catholic priest, he has offered morning Mass at one of the many altars provided and has later each day recited the Divine Office and said his rosary in the Oratory set aside for the Res- ervation of the Blessed Sacrament. "Ask, and it shall be given you" {Matt. 7:7)—daily has he asked his Redeemer for grace sufficient to fulfill his duties—his duties to men 'consecrated to service—ser- vicemen—men who serve their country and who serve their God. Admirals direct the former; Chap- lains the latter. Yes, he has sought help from on high. Not only that—others like- wise are praying for him. The prayers of you who have work to do at home—maintaining not only a material Home Front, but a spirit- ADDRESS BY CHAPLAIN SHANAHAN 25 ual Home Front as well—and the prayers of his classmates will be with him ashore or afloat. Just before Graduation Day—which is at the same time a Day of Spiritual Recollection—these Chaplains have pledged to each other one Sunday each month. Imagine such hap- pening: Clergymen of varied creeds pledging to each other the dedication of the Worship of God on one Sunday each month for the spiritual benefit of all members of that particular graduation class. So this—when all is said and done —is the result of those first weeks of indoctrination — those weeks when common topics of mutual in- terest were presented; those weeks when for the first time clergymen from the extremes of civilian life spoke a common language—the language of the sea. This is the result: Seeking mutual aid from the Father of All. Let us, then, take our cue from the spirit of Chaplain Ryan's class, the spirit of bringing "Men to God and God to men" in complete cooperation without compromise of fundamen- tal beliefs. Let us on his gradua- tion day from the Naval Training School for Chaplains say with him : "Dear Lord, guide and protect us —who, like Thee, will preach from ships, and who, like Thee, will live with men of the sea."

The Bishops of the country A D D R E S S BY LT. COMMANDER BOSLET 2 7 and the various religious congre- gations of men have given gener- ously of their priests though this meant often a decrease in the num- ber of Masses and other religious services in their parishes. Arch- bishop Spellman, our Military Vicar, has said, " I t is at the pres- ent time the noblest call of our priests and a call to which they have nobly responded." Bishop Byrne of Galveston wrote to one of his priests volunteering to be a Chaplain, "If we do not win this war, our parish churches and our priests might not have much lib- erty to function. And so our home folks are willing to have the ser- vice from fewer priests in order that the great number of our young men who have gone out to fight f o r us may not be neglected." Protes- tant clergymen are likewise gen- erous in offering their services to meet the great need f o r Chaplains in our Army and Navy. In last Sunday's talk, Chaplain John F . Robinson described the eight weeks' training which is given to all "Boot" Chaplains as we call new recruits in the Navy. Two weeks prior to graduation in the Chaplains' School at Williamsburg, Virginia, the school faculty sends a detailed report on each new Chap- lain student to the Chief of Chap- lains in Washington. This report deals with the Chaplain's person- ality, ability as a preacher, his mil- itary attitudes and bearing, and his leadership among his class- mates. In short, such a report, to- gether with information in the Chaplains' Bureau, gives a com- plete picture of the new Chaplain now ready for active duty. A Board of Chaplains, with the Chief of Chaplains as Senior Member, meets every two weeks to decide where each Chaplain will be sent for his first tour of duty. Usually the new Chaplain is assigned to some shore station in the United States for several months before he is or- dered to sea or foreign duty. A Navy Chaplain must be physically qualified and ready to accept any type of duty, foreign or domestic, ashore or afloat, with units of the Navy, Marines, and Coast Guards. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish Chaplains are distributed so as to give all men an opportunity to wor- ship Almighty God according to the dictates of their consciences. Now f o r a brief sketch of the duties of a Navy Chaplain. His primary duties are those of "an ordained man of God," whose rea- son f o r his Chaplaincy is the high purpose of bringing God to men and men to God. To achieve this noble end, he uses every channel available to him, divine services, 2 8 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS A N D MOTHERS administration of the sacraments— private consultations and man to man talks. The Chaplain's addi- tional duties include recreational activities, supervising libraries, editing a ship's or station's paper, cooperating with social and welfare agencies ashore—all these activities can and do serve as means to ac- complish his main desire of bring- ing Officers and men to the fulfill- ment of their religious duties. The Navy Chaplain lives and works with the officers and men of the Navy; they know him as their friend and confidant; he follows them in every danger as the scroll of dead, wounded, and prisoner Chaplains proudly attests. I recall an incident when the combination of an accidental shoot- ing on board ship and the presence of a Chaplain resulted in a com- plete change in a young Blue- jacket's way of living. One of our aviators was inspecting the rear cockpit of his plane and accident- ally discharged a loaded machine gun. A bullet pierced the stomach of a seaman who was standing a f t of the plane. He was immediately rushed to the sick bay, and I was called to attend him as it was evi- dent the injury was serious. A sur- gical operation was required if the young man's life was to be saved. A f t e r hearing his confession and administering the last rites, I stood by while the surgeon performed a very delicate operation. Happily, everything went well and today the young man is back on duty. This experience transformed him. No longer is he careless about his re- ligious duties. Today he is an ex- ample to his shipmates of a man at peace with His Maker. The love of Christ for him created, love in him for Christ. The commission of instructing and guiding youth is a most im- portant and sacred trust. Your - boys, who have left farms and fac- tories and schools as light hearted youths, will return from the ex- perience of war as men—men, who in a few years, will be the heads of homes, the fathers of the next generation, the men who will mould the f u t u r e and build, we hope, the foundations of a lasting peace. For victory in the war now and for progress in peace in the future, we must depend upon the unity of all Americans. That unity in turn depends to a large extent upon a mutual respect, a spirit of tolerance and forebearance of opinions of others—sometimes at wide var- iance with our own. Without such a unity, our ship of freedom can founder upon the dark and dead- ly shoals of racial mistrust, class hatreds, and religious bigotry. ADDRESS BY LT. COMMANDER BOSLET 29 Bringing to all men this desired mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance, the Chaplain exercises a powerful and lasting influence in the development of the true Amer- ican spirit. Navy Chaplains are al- ways interested in explaining and defending the true liberty for which our nation is waging war today, namely, "the freedom to do what is right"—right before God and right before man. Moreover, I the Navy Chaplain realizes that the fine youthful lives of your sons are not built by physical well-being or intellectual training alone. True, these are necessary and import- ant helps to his well-being; but as the foundation for everything else, there must be the basic belief in God, knowledge and observance of His commandments, and a constant awareness of God's design for liv- ing and God's love for; your son— the creature of His creation. The morale of our men in the Navy is high. Concerning "morale," I speak of my own personal expe- rience of five years spent on board three battleships and two years in a large Naval Training Station. By "morale," I mean steadfast cour- age, deep loyalties, manly gener- osity, and a constant readiness to serve our high cause, regardless of personal danger or hardship. "Mor- ale" makes men strong in the de- votion to our nation. A high moral standard makes men strong in the performance of their religious duties to God. The power of the union of "morale" and morals equips our fighting men as Chris- tian soldiers and sailors with the "armour of God." Victory then can- not be denied these Christian War- riors. Victory then becomes as certain as God's stars above our fighting forces. I know the American bluejacket of today. He is not the lad pic- tured commonly in the movies and humorous cartoons. On the con- trary, he is a keen and serious- minded young man. While filled with zest f o r adventure, he has a deep and abiding conviction that he is engaged in a moral struggle to preserve his home, his liberty, and his freedom to worship God. He is convinced that he is fight- ing for God and, with confidence, places his life in God's hands. The Chaplains' letters and reports from our fighting men everywhere show that our men are daily giving proof of their stalwart faith in Almighty God by attending divine services regularly and in great numbers. Chaplains are inspired to greater efforts by the example of the men who often make real sacrifices and willingly give up leisure time to attend church. Bluejackets are not 30 SECOND REPORT TO THE FATHERS A N D MOTHERS prone to give praise when it is not due. Their many testimonials evi- dence a genuine and a sincere ad- miration f o r their Chaplain. They appreciate his counsel and help in their personal problems and dif- ficulties. Bishop O'Hara, our Military Delegate, has said that his office has received hundreds of unso- licited testimonials and tributes to Chaplains from Officers and men of the* Army and Navy. One of our ranking admirals who recently returned from a tour of the Pacific said, "In the South Pa- cific, with the fleet and at our ad- vance bases, I became intimately acquainted with the splendid work being carried on by the Chaplain Corps. Your Navy man knows that he can turn to the Chaplain f o r friendly help in any problem— whether he's worried about his God, his family back home, or his own chances for leave. Quiet, com- forting, invariably a 'right guy', the Navy Chaplain comes thru— and brings his men thru." Having recently returned from three years' duty at sea, I am hap- py to say that the cooperation of officers and men in f u r t h e r i n g the work of the Navy Chaplain has been excellent. I consider it a high privilege to have been able, during the past seven years, to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and administer the Sacraments to the Catholic men of the Navy and to preach the eternal t r u t h s to the Protestants when a Protestant Chaplain was not present. In a word, we Chaplains in the ser- vice strive to help all hands of every belief in every way possible. During these days of war, I know that the Chaplains' presence with the men, as their unit or ship goes into the battle area, is reas- suring and appreciated. All hands listen reverently and repeat in their hearts a prayer as the Chap- lain prays over th'e ship's loud speaker for victory and protection. Much has already been written of the appreciation of the Marines for the Chaplains who have lived and worked with them during their active campaigns on the Fighting Front. Many young men come to realize, perhaps for the first time, the strength and consolation that religion can give, when conditions are such as to t r y the souls of the staunchest men. Chaplains are serving on board our ships as they ply the seven seas; they are ministering to your sons in such diversified areas as Africa, the British Isles, Iceland, Alaska, Aleutian Islands, and in many island bases scattered over the vast reaches of the Pacific. The A D D R E S S BY LT. COMMANDER BOSLET 31 Chaplain is carrying the Cross and the teaching of Him Who died thereon, to every fighting front. Many men who are expending every effort and even their lives are find- ing God on the way. Truly, in these critical days, American Chap- lains, when they bring and strengthen the religious f a i t h in the lives of your sons, are literally fulfilling the commission of Christ to His apostles when He said: "You shall bq witnesses unto me . . . even to the uttermost part of the earth" (Act 1:8).

There were, too, in the beginning, members whose moral and physical stamina was untested. And there were some who were just adven- turing. A few of those were bound to fall from grace; but since most of them were neither helpful nor happy, they have by now almost all gone home. The wonder isn't t h a t there were a few moral failures, but that there were so few. It is an under-statement to say that on the whole the WAC's are a hard-working, high-minded patriot- ic lot of girls. From my own observation and experience, and not because of wishful thinking, I will say that their service has been for some a means of grace and the beginning of a new peace and dignity of soul. Others are lifting themselves up to permanently higher levels of living, by their unstinting devotion, their willing sacrifice, and their quiet en- durance. They are finding new strength and new satisfactions, a new direction of life and a new nobility. And I will f u r t h e r say that I have met here some of the most devout and decent women I have ever known. Women have engaged in war be- fore, without loss of gentleness and grace. Our own nuns went out F A T H E R S A N D MOTHERS onto the battlefields of the Civil War and came back without tarn- ish but with new distinction and honor. Corregidor was no place f o r women; but our nurses there didn't shock the men with whom they shared hardship and danger, but thrilled them and heartened them and the whole country—and won everlasting glory f o r their corps. If women can endure' the sights and sounds of the battle- field and the dressing station, with- out being coarsened and made un- womanly, then surely they can do the jobs the WAC is undertaking without damage to their sweeter selves. Long ago a maid achieved sanctity by her soldiering. She clothed her slight form in shining armor'and went off to the wars, in- different to the surprise and scorn of men, listening only to the voice within. She revitalized her falter- ing kins: and his failing armies and led them on to victory. Our women soldiers in the spirit of St. Joan of Arc are not only marching on to victory over our country's enemies, but over those implacable enemies of the soul: the world, the flesh, and the devil—and are keeping themselves clean and unspotted. When one of our public men was visiting in Russian f r o n t lines, he asked his host how much of the f r o n t he was defending. The young ADDRESS BY CI General quickly retorted "Defend- ing, sir? I'm attacking." i feel that way about this talk, that I am not defending the WACs so much as attacking any unchivalrous, un- grateful, and unjust criticism of their Corps. What they have a right to expect is the praise and thanks of all Americans! When the War Department de- clared its urgent need of supple- menting is manpower because of the enormous demands of total and global war, they were the first to answer the call. Eager and im- patient to go all-out, on full time, f o r their country, they left their loved ones. They left their homes, where they had been shielded from danger, sheltered from hardship,' and saved f r o m labor. They left good jobs, for which they had trained and waited long, for tasks that were humble and hard. Reso- lute and unfraid, one hundred per cent volunteer, no laws or public opinion urging them on, they marched out to whatever awaited them, the long labors of the Train- ing Center, or the foam of perilous seas, and foreign lands forlorn. They were not content with the old assignment of women in w a r : " f o r men must work and women must weep." They insisted upon work- ing, with the patience, diligence, and devotion that is characteristic A P L A I N CASEY 35 of women. As their director says, "they are determined to make their new chapter of American History a serious contribution and not a feminine footnote." And the Chief of Staff of the United States Army testifies t h a t "commanders have spoken in the highest terms of their efficiency and value." My dear friends, the Declaration of Independence, the beginning of the life and greatness of our Re- public, was the work of a compara- tively few men. I t was the result of the prophetic and providential vision, the political genius, and the constant preaching of Samuel Ad- ams, Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and a handful of others, rather than the spon- taneous rising of the people. I t was implemented by the force of personality and military leadership of George Washington and Lafay- ette. And though the war was long and drawn-out, and it impoverished the country, there were not a great many of the citizens engaged at a time. But, unhappily, in the 167 years that have elapsed, wars have grown since then in scope and in- volvement; so now it is not army against army, but people against people. The enemy is still mighty. He has been concentrating all his national energy and attention upon war for years, and unless and un- 36 SECOND REPORT TO THE til we mobilize all our resources and all our powers and all our pray- ers, we will not prevail against him. The keeping of our independence, and indeed the independence of the world, f r o m ruthless domination, f r o m fanatical dictatorship, f r o m the powers of darkness, is not in F A T H E R S A N D MOTHERS the hands of a few, not in the hands of the army and navy alone, but in the hands of all of us. Nobody can lie back, nobody can sit it out—it is everybody's fight this time. That's the way the women of the WAC feel; and that's why they have gone to 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 o f 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 listen 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 our searching and ques- tioning hearts. 89 CATHOLIC HOUR STATIONS In 38 States, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii A l a b a m a B i r m i n g h a m W B R C 9 6 0 k c Mobile W A L A 1 4 1 0 kc A r i z o n a Phoenix K T A R 6 2 0 k c T u c s o n K V O A 1 2 9 0 k c Y u m a K Y U M 1240 kc A r k a n s a s Little Rock K A R K 9 2 0 k c California Fresno K M J 5 8 0 kc Los A n g e l e s • K E C A 7 9 0 kc S a n Francisco K P O 6 8 0 kc Colorado Denver K O A 8 5 0 kc District of C o l u m b i a W a s h i n g t o n W R C 9 8 0 kc Florida Jacksonville W J A X 9 3 0 kc L a k e l a n d W L A K 1340 kc M i a m i W I O D 6 1 0 kc Pensacola W C O A 1370 k c T a m p a W F L A - W S U N 9 7 0 - 6 2 0 kc Georgia A t l a n t a W S B 7 5 0 k c Georgia S a v a n n a h 1...WSAV 1 3 4 0 kc I d a h o Boise K I D O 1380 kc Illinois C h i c a g o W M A Q 6 7 0 k c I n d i a n a Fort W a y n e W G L 1450 kc Terre H a u t e : W B O W 1230 kc K a n s a s W i c h i t a K A N S 1 2 4 0 kc K e n t u c k y Louisville W A V E » 9 7 0 kc Louisiana New Orleans W S M B * 1350 kc Shreveport K T B S 1480 k c M a r y l a n d Baltimore W B A L 1090 kc M a i n e A u g u s t a W R D O 1 4 0 0 kc M a s s a c h u s e t t s Boston W B Z * 1030 kc Springfield W B Z A * 1030 kc M i c h i g a n Detroit W W J * 9 5 0 kc S a g i n a w W S A M 1400 kc M i n n e s o t a Duluth-Superior W E B C 1320 kr.
