tered the exacting standards set 
before them. We do not mean to 
boast. We admit our share of 
bungling and failure. Furthermore, 
even though our achievements were 
immeasurably great, they were only 
our duty. When others die, we may 

. not speak of sacrifice. Yet, America 
is grateful to its workers. It is a 
privilege to pay this tribute to you 
on a program given over to Al-
mighty God, for surely the victory 
you are winning will restore the 
clergy to their Churches in many 
nations of Europe. We know that 
millions of earnest men and women, 
citizens of enemy nations, are torn 
between devotion to their country 
and loyalty to their God. It may 
well be that even the vanquished 
will be grateful to you for a just 
peace restoring to them the great 
freedoms, in preference to the un-
easy conquests which they have 
thus fa r enjoyed. We know that 
the first triumph of the dictator is 
over the souls of his own people. 
Realizing all these things, we do 
not hesitate today to class you with 
the heroes of Lepanto and Bunker 
Hill and Valley Forge. 

No single group may take credit 
for this victory on the home front. 
It represents a united effort of 
management and labor, of military 
engineers and of the devoted mem-
bers of the War Production Board. 
Yet we might be pardoned if today 

we spoke of your effort. In this 
war, labor has refused no import-
ant sacrifice asked of it. On the 
contrary, it has often been the first 
to propose measures which meant 
hardship to thousands of workers. 
Not many months ago, for example, 
there were two schools of thought 
on war production. One group 
wished to superimpose the military 
efforts upon normal civilian output. 
Its aims were the minimum dislo-
cation of industry and the least in-
terference with an immediate re-
turn to normal after the struggle. 
According to this approach, we 
should build entirely new factories 
for the tools of war, leaving our 
existing equipment for civilian 
needs. The other school of thought 
called for immediate conversion of 
our present industry to the tasks 
of war. It held that the urgency of 
the situation was such that no delay 
could be tolerated. Whatever the 
cost, there must be an end to busi-
ness as usual. The one business of 
the country was to be national sur-
vival. This second approach would 
be hard on the average citizen. He 
would give up all luxuries, most 
conveniences, and even many things 
formerly called necessities. Labor 
in particular would suffer, for 
there would be a long period of 
idleness—some said an entire year 
—before the changeover could be 
effected. Yet to your credit it must 



IN LABOR AND IN TOIL 6 
be said that labor judged, not in 
terms of self-interest, but in terms 
of the common welfare. Labor 
leaders were foremost in advocat-
ing the second plan. They knew 
what it would cost in terms of un-
employment. Their own jobs and 
the existence of the unions they 
represented were at stake. Idle men 
do not pay union dues. They might 
have voted out of office those res-
ponsible for their plight. Yet love 
of country rather than personal 
gain prevailed. When the decision 
was made, it was this second ap-
proach which was taken. Fortun-
ately it happened that the conver-
sion was effected quickly and with 
little cost, but tribute must be paid 
to those who had the courage to 
take the path of duty at any price. 

Labor should be honored as well 
for its day by day part in forging 
the sinews of war. Not long ago 
our President said that soon there 
would be little need for secrecy 
about production levels. So great 
has been the achievement of indus-
try, that the knowledge of our out-
put would be demoralizing, not 
helpful, to our enemies. For this 
result, labor may take its rightful 
share of credit. That intangible 
spark called morale will get results 
when the whiplash of the Gestapo 
and the shadow of the concentra-
tion camp will fail. Free men will 
sacrifice where slaves rebel. Amer-

ican labor has shown that morale. 
There have been abuses and excep-
tions, but compared with the 
achievements of the last War, we 
have worked miracles. It was stat-
ed in the press recently that pro-
duction has increased twenty-five 
per cent as a result of labor-man-
agement committees. In the all-
union, closed shop shipyards of the 
West Coast, ships have been built 
in a fraction of the time formerly 
required. Time and again skilled 
labor has contributed suggestions 
which have doubled and tripled the 
output of critical military equip-
ment. There is a quiet patriotism 
in these thousands of little helps 
which may not make the headlines, 
but which may make the difference 
between victory and defeat in the 
front lines. 

It has been no easy task for men 
to toil seven days a week at the 
pace of a modern factory. Much 
of this work demands constant at-
tention. The attempt to keep pace 
with untiring machines is a strain 
on human nerves which grows con-
tinually greater as it is prolonged 
week after week without interrup-
tion. True it is that this effort 
means higher wages at overtime 
rates, but the average worker, if he 
had the choice, would prefer neces-
sary rest to the gaining of a few 
extra dollars. These higher rates 
were introduced originally more as 



6 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
a penalty to prevent overtime than 
as a reward for additional effort. 
Love of country and not love of 
money explains the long hours of 
work today. 

Labor is also to be praised for its 
almost unsullied record of no 
strikes during war. There have 
been scattered uprisings heie and 
there, but an authorized strike in a 
war industry is rare indeed. This 
policy is no accident. It is an axiom 
that the power of organized labor 
is greatest in times of all-out pro-
duction. It is equally to be expect-
ed that there will be trouble when 
prices in general are rising. Dur-
ing the last War there was almost 
constant agitation to adjust the 
wages of labor to the cost of living. 
This time, however, the picture is 
entirely changed. Where disputes 
arise they are submitted to arbitra-
tion, with all its uncertainty and 
delay. This has been done even 
where employers took advantage of 
the crisis to weaken the union or 
where ambitious factions sought to 
exploit the delay for their own per-
sonal interests. Much of this has 
meant moral courage of a high 
order, the more to be commended 
because it is hidden and unseen. 

It would be a mistake, however, 
if we were to rest upon the glory 
of the past. The future lies before 
us, the challenge and the opportun-
ity of our generation. Victory is 

only the first step. Beyond that lies 
the vision of a world purified by 
sacrifice, ready to start once again 
in the ever renewed struggle for 
the kingdom of God upon earth. 
This is the vision which must draw 
us on, the powerful attraction of 
the love of what is good, and not 
merely the strength of the hatred 
of what is evil. Our conduct now 
must be the foundation of the world 
that is to be. This world must be 
new in many ways . . . the degrada-
tion and disillusionment of yester-
day must go. It is vital now that 
we plan for that future, lest we 
find that we have cast out one evil 
spirit only to leave our house open 
for the return of seven more. 

It is too soon to plot the details 
of tomorrow's world. But we can 
acquire practice in the spirit of co-
operation and common sense which 
will make it worth living in. Now 
is the time to drop the habits of 
faction and extremism and to learn 
the real meaning of unity and 
brotherhood. Many of us were 
shocked to read in a recent issue 
of Fortune magazine that a large 
percentage of business men expect 
socialism after the war. Here was 
a confession of bankruptcy on the 
part of private enterprise at the 
time that it reached its supreme 
achievement in American history. 
On the other hand, there are some 
who seek a return to individualism 



IN LABOR AND IN TOIL 6 

after the war, restoring the law of 
the jungle to business life, and 
casting overboard the social gains 
of decades. That would indeed be a 
strange f rui t of victory—declaring 
an armistice on the field of battle 
so that we could renew the struggle 
in the cities and towns and farms 
of our own land! 

We should know by now the les-
son of history that extreme solu-
tions solve nothing. On the battle-
fields of Europe we are fighting 
these total philosophies of life, 
which crush the spirit of man in 
the effort to evolve a perfect soci-
ety. We are not seeking textbook 
perfection. We simply want a dec-
ent world where man can live with 
his fellow man. We wish to pattern 
society on the home life of the sen-
sible, God-fearing man and woman. 
In such a home there are dif-
ferences without discord. There is 
reasonable planning to share com-
mon burdens and common oppor-
tunities. If there is much to be 
distributed, everyone shares the 
abundance. If sacrifice is to be 
made, none is exempt. The strong 
gladly take a heavier burden, and 
the frailty of the weak is protected. 
All of us, rich and poor, farm and 
city folk, try to live this way at 
home. But' some of us have got the 
bad habit of acting differently in 
public. We are selfish, or suspic-
ious, or greedy of power and 

wealth. Instead of helping others, 
we distrust them and try to over-
reach them. Then we wonder why 
society is sick and weak. 

This War can be a God-given 
opportunity for us to practice an-
other way of life. Here is a com-
mon interest to unite us, for the 
sons of the rich are dying on the 
sands of Libya just as the sons of 
the poor. Now we have a golden 
chance to meet one another in a 
friendly and open spirit. Employ-
ers can meet their workers, not 
through the medium of newspapers 
and magazines, but directly, hear-
ing their viewpoint from their 
chosen representatives. The work-
ers too can meet their employers. 
They will learn at first hand the 
other side of the case. If this is 
done sincerely, it will not be long 
before suspicion and misunder-
standing will largely vanish. Not 
all difficulties will disappear. There 
will be conflicts of interest. But 
earnest, honest men can settle such 
differences in a peaceful way. More 
than that—this new and civilized 
habit of life will flow over into 
other spheres. Union leaders train« 
ed in this school will be less likely 
to usurp autocratic power. Busi-
ness men who know the give and 
take of the conference table will not 
denounce every interference with 
their personal views as socialistic 
intrusion. Both groups will make 



8 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
better citizens and this in turn will 
mean better government. 

Is this but another dream? Not 
if we give it a trial. People are 
happier when everyone is friendly 
and decent. They like to understand 
others and be understood in return. 
We all know how we are prejudiced 
against those whom we do not 
know, and how suspicion vanishes 
with real knowledge. Let us then 
do our part to build a better Amer-
ica by living in peace with those 
about us. Let us try to see the 
problems of the employer or the 
worker or the elected officials. We 
can forget the office and the title 
and see the human being made in 
the image of God as we ourselves 
are. Here is the vision of tomor-
row—not some glorious superstate 
—not a magnificent economic sys-
tem—no path of glory or conquest 
—but a vision of simple men, many 
poor, and ignorant, and weak, but 
all good with the goodness of God 
within them. They may differ from 
us in face, or origin, or creed, but 
they walk with the dignity of the 

spirit that gives them life. It is 
upon these little people that we 
should build the world of tomor-
row. God grant that from the evils 
of war this good should result! 
That we may get to know our fel-
low man, and live with him in peace 
and understanding. If this be the 
lesson of our world in flames, then 
millions shall not have died in vain. 

PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR 
(Adapted from Cardinal Newman) 

0 Lord Jesus Christ, Who in Thy 
mercy hearest the prayers of sin-
ners, pour forth, we beseech Thee, 
all grace and blessings upon our 
country and its citizens. We pray 
in particular for the President— 
for our Congress—for all our sol-
diers—for all who defend us in 
ships, whether on the seas or in the 
skies—for all who are suffering 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 peace, 
and reunite us all together forever, 
0 dear Lord, in Thy glorious heav-
enly kingdom. 



THE GREATNESS AND 
Address Delivered on 

We have heard it said that the 
world about us is changing. Many-
persons look to a future profoundly 
different from the world of yester-
day. Our age is described as one of 
the great periods of history, where 
the destiny of generations yet un-
born is molded by an Almighty 
hand. We are told that schoolboys 
will one day study our era as to-
day they read of the rise and fall 
of Rome, or the Protestant Refor-
mation, or the American Revolu-
tion. We are a people of destiny. 
Grievous burdens and exacting dut-
ies have been laid upon us. In 
heaviness of heart, in bitterness of 
soul, we now march through the 
valley of the shadows of death, but 
before our eyes there is a vision 
which stays us and comforts us. 
Beyond Calvary, we have seen the 
Resurrection. The fire of suffering 
has purified us. The grim finality 
of death has sobered us. Our pride 
has been humbled. Our willfulness 
has been disciplined. Therefore, 
trusting in God who giveth strength 
to the lowly, we look forward to a 
world that is different, and better. 

This is a courageous prophecy. 
If it is founded on faith in God, 
and not on presumption of spirit, 
it will be fulfilled. It is the plan of 

LITTLENESS OF MEN 
September 13, 1942 
God that light should follow dark-
ness, and that the tears of the be-
reaved should be turned into com-
fort and joy. It is necessary that 
the pride of man be humbled unto 
the dust, but the penitent soul is 
welcomed into the home of the elect. 
We have a right to plan for a bet-
ter world. Thirty years of anxiety 
and suffering—war, depression, and 
again war—should stir us to high 
purpose and determined resolution. 
This time we cannot afford to trifle 
and quibble. Justice and charity 
must prevail. Our world may be 
compared to one of the great in-
ventions of our time: We are like 
an airplane moving with the grace 
of an eagle and the swiftness of 
sound, but destined to crash in 
ignominy if there be a flaw in any 
critical place. Mistakes which could 
be localized and tolerated in the 
days of the ox-cart are fatal now. 
With this in mind, it is unthink-
able that we should decide merely 
to blunder and muddle through the 
years to come. We must plan the 
blueprints of a new order. We are 
the builders of tomorrow. 

Let us face the future with hope, 
but also with caution. Others be-
fore us have seen visions. They 
have dreamed great dreams. We 



10 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
know the products of their fevered 
minds. After the last War, in Ger-
many, one man peered into the un-
known and saw marvelous things. 
In the dim vistas of the morrow he 
saw his people rise from the ashes 
of defeat, gird themselves with 
strength and cunning, and go forth 
that conquering they might con-
quer the world. They were to be a 
master race, pure in blood, keen in 
intellect, and invincible on the field 
of battle. Lesser men they would 
tolerate, but only as slaves of those 
predestined to greatness by the 
gods of war. Here was indeed a 
vision, as entrancing as that seen 
from the Mount of Temptation 
where once all the kingdoms of the 
world and the glory thereof were 
offered by a spirit majestic and 
evil. On that day the offer was 
refused; the hill of Calvary was tak-
en instead; and the saving force of 
Christianity released to a world in 
the bondage of sin. Surely this man 
of our day pondered the lesson, but 
there also came back to him the re-
frain of the Tempter: the kingdoms 
of the world, their power and glory, 
"For to me they have been deliver-
ed, and to whomever I will I give 
them" (Luke 4:6). On the moun-
tain top of Berchtesgaden he reach-
ed his decision! What was once re-
jected, I will accept. Away with 
the weakness of the Cross! Away 
with hesitation and scruples! Noth-

ing shall stand in my way! I will 
build great armies. My air force 
shall darken the skies. The lurking 
terror of my submarines will para-
lyze the foe. I will train my people 
in hardness and cruelty. Hatred 
and revenge will fill their hearts. 
We have had enough of the weak-
ness of those who preach love, and 
kindness, and tolerance. Honor and 
trust are but empty words. The 
price of victory is great, but we 
shall pay it. 

Such, my friends, was that fear-
ful vision which has led to a world 
in ruins. This leader was indeed 
cunning. He divided his enemies, 
first at home, and then abroad. He 
took the children from their homes 
and their Churches and molded 
them into the pattern that he had 
seen. He played race against race, 
creed against creed, and nation 
against nation, until he was strong-
er than any of them. We know the 
price that the world has paid for 
this man's dreams. 

Others too saw visions. Nearly 
a century ago another man dwelt 
upon the great injustices that were 
sweeping the world. He heard the 
anguished cries of women and chil-
dren working long hours in smok-
ing factories. He saw the rotten-
ness and filth of the newly created 
slums. He beheld labor degraded 
and exploited, and in his heart too 
there arose hatred and the spirit of 



THE GREATNESS AND LITTLENESS OF MAN 11 
revenge. He dreamed of the day 
when the exploited would arise and 
strike off the chains that bound 
them. They would take over the 
instruments of oppression. The 
factories would be theirs, owned not 
by one to be used to enslave others, 
but by all. There would be a dic-
tatorship of the workers, harsh and 
implacable against its enemies. It 
would liquidate the rich, for their 
wealth came from the blood of those 
who toiled. It would stamp out the 
very name of God, because the pros-
pect of another world made some 
patient and tolerant towards the 
evils of this. There would be a 
complete unity of purpose, with 
everyone united to build a great 
economic system which would share 
its abundance among all. 

This dream was also to become a 
reality. It was realized amidst the 
blood and ruin of revolution. It 
was nurtured by an iron dictator-
ship. Ruthlessly it stamped out all 
opposition, turning its cathedrals 
into exhibits of atheism and send-
ing millions of its citizens to the 
slow death of the prison camp. 
None was too great to be secure. 
The very authors of the revolution 
became its victims. 

Yet by the inscrutable wisdom of 
Providence, this great nation soon 
found itself in a war which many 
feel to be a Crusade. Brilliantly 
and bravely it has defended its 

homes against the Godless invader. 
It has bled white the armies which 
otherwise might have imposed upon 
the world the rule of the Swastika, 
a cross which is not the Cross of 
Christ. It has given priceless aid 
to our own country in our struggle 
to preserve the sacred rights of 
man. For this help we are pro-
foundly grateful. Would it be too 
much to ask that we express our 
thanks by prayer for a nation which, 
once was called holy, that God 
might save its homes and its fac-
tories, and restore its Churches 
that once again it may honor His 
Holy Name. 

Still other men had visions. This 
time they dreamed of freedom, not 
of power. It was in the year seven-
teen hundred and seventy six, quite 
by accident coinciding with the de-
cade of our War of Independence. 
But these men were not concerned 
with political freedom; the liberty 
they sought was rather in the eco-
nomic field. Their vision was one 
of business, unhampered by any 
restriction, be it law of government 
or regulation of guild. These res-
traints they called medieval. They 
had thrown off the yoke of alleg-
iance to the ancient Church, why 
should they not also uproot the last 
vestiges of its influences in the 
affairs of everyday life. "Business 
is business" they said. "Survival 
for the fittest" was their motto. 



12 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
Economic life was to be an exhilar-
ating struggle, about of gladiators 
with woe to the vanquished, a 
great gamble with the winner tak-
ing all. If some felt that this phil-
osophy was too harsh, there was 
the consoling thought that every-
one would profit by the selfishness 
of the few. As a by-product of 
their titanic struggles, industrial 
empires would be built. Smoking 
factories would employ millions. 
Men of genius, engaged in keenest 
conflict, would produce ever new 
kinds of wealth in which all could 
share. A new world was in the 
making. The ancient curse of pov-
erty and toil would be but an un-
happy memory. 

This road too was taken by many. 
Powerful nations, some of them 
with an ancient and proud history, 
others still in their infancy, adopt-
ed this way of life. They became 
wealthy and powerful. Their ships 
dotted the seas of the world. Their 
factories throbbed out a drumbeat 
of incessant activity. Progress be-
came the watchword, with the in-
ventions of today soon to become 
the antiques of tomorrow. But 
there was another side to this pic-
ture. Near the great factories liv-
ed broken people. Little children 
were robbed of the freshness of 
their youth and sent to work long 
hours beside the tireless machines 
—some even chained to their place 

of toil. Women were forced to leave 
their homes, to neglect their chil-
dren, that they might earn a few 
shillings to buy food for their 
wretched families. Men were vic-
timized and exploited. Corruption 
and waste became the order of the 
day. Seeing all this, Karl Marx 
made his plan for bloody revolution. 
He wrote well, for many years after 
his death these plans were carried 
out in a pattern of inhuman cruel-
ty. Freedom run riot paid a bloody 
price for its excesses. 

There were other weaknesses ii} 
this system of freedom for the 
strongest. It led to that unchecked 
speculation so strongly condemned 
by the late Pope Pius the Eleventh 
(Quadragesimo Anno, p. 38, Paul-
ist Press). Its f rui t was the 
"dreadful scourge" of unemploy-
ment (Ibid. p. 22). Because of it 
"the whole economic life has be-
come hard, cruel, and relentless in 
a ghastly measure" (Ibid. p. 30). 
We have lived to see the terrible 
state of affairs when healthy young 
men cannot obtain work, when fa-
thers of families are driven to des-
pair as they walk the streets in 
vain seeking some way of earning 
a living, when the old are reduced 
to beggary because they cannot 
stand the pace of modern industry. 
Men felt that such a state of affairs 
was inhuman. In desperation they 
demanded security at any price. 



THE GREATNESS AND LITTLENESS OF MAN 13 
They listened to anyone who would 
promise bread and jobs. Yes, they 
even listened to that dreamer, Hit-
ler. Once again, freedom run riot 
paid a bloody price for its sins. 

Thus we see that the modern 
world is a dream within a dream. 
The major social orders of today 
have much in common. They all 
began with a glorious vision, and 
alluring promise. On the basis of 
that promise they justified great 
crimes. The end in view, so beau-
tiful in prospect, would, they fool-
ishly believed, justify the sordid 
means used to attain it. But they 
forgot that no society is strong 
when the men who make it up are 
weak. By grinding man into the 
dust, they crushed their only source 
of power and vigor. How can a 
nation be noble when its citizens 
are taught to act like beasts? How 
can one rely upon an economic sys-
tem whose frui ts are exploitation 
and insecurity? What indeed would 
it profit us if we were to win the 
world through these means, only to 
lose our souls in the struggle? 
These are questions which must be 
answered before we can hope to 
build the world of tomorrow. The 
answer is clear: These systems 
will not do. Whatever be the de-
tails of our plan, it must rest on 
one foundation or it will fail. This 
foundation is our acknowledgment 
of the greatness of every man made 

in the image of God. In each of us 
the Divine Spirit has breathed life. 
In the Sacred Books we have been 
called sons of God, temples of the 
Holy Spirit, brethren of the Lord 
Jesus. As we reverence the 
Churches of Almighty God, so we 
should learn to honor and respect 
our fellow man. Before this shin-
ing truth, the trivial differences of 
race, of birth, of education and 
wealth, are dwarfed into nothing-
ness. One statesman speaks of the 
"revolutionary march of the people 
towards manifesting here on earth 
the dignity that is in every human 
soul." To quote his exact words: 
"Everywhere the common people 
are on the march. Thousands of 
them are learning to read and 
write, learning to think together, 
learning to use tools. These people 
are learning to think and work to-
gether in labor movements, some of 
which may be extreme or impracti-
cal at first, but which eventually 
will settle down to serve effectively 
the interests of the common man" 
(Wallace, The Price of a Free 
World Victory). He goes on to 
portray the century of the common 
man, where no nation will have the 
right to exploit another nation, 
where the simple people of India, 
China, and Latin America will be-
gin to produce for themselves, to 
govern themselves, to know fully 
the meaning of freedom of expres-



14 THE VICTORY 
sion, of religion, freedom from fear 
and from want. This is to be the 
world of tomorrow. 

All this may seem to be the vis-
ion of an idealist. It is. .The world 
needs such idealism. We have had 
too much of the realism which is 
but another name for gross selfish-
ness. It was written that "without 
vision, a people perishes." All the 
great movements of mankind have 
begun in vision; it is only when this 
vision is unsound that they fail. 
But the dream which we dream is 
as true as the truth of Christ. It 
offers no easy solution to the prob-
lems of the world. It will still be 
necessary to work, and to think, 
and to plan. There will be leaders 
and there will be followers. The 
way of education will be slow and 
tedious; there will be many failures 
and setbacks. Impatient men will 
complain because results do not ap-
pear at once; haughty men will look 
down on those who do not equal 
them in talent and ability; but if 
most of us have faith in one an-

OF THE JUST 
other, we shall not fail. Let the 
employer look upon the faces of 
those who work for him, and see 
them as fellow men. Let the work-
er realize that behind the aloofness 
of his employer is a human heart, 
with its worries and cares. Let 
them both be concerned with their 
broader responsibilities to the com-
munity. This can be done, but only 
when each has sincere respect for 
his neighbor. When this is achiev-
ed, we need not worry too much 
about the details of social reform. 
These can be found in dozens of 
books. What is lacking is the sin-
cere will to carry them out. Our 
task today is to develop this will. 
Call this idealism, if you wish, but 
do not call it impractical. Practical 
men have got this world into a 
sorry mess. Let us then have our 
dreamers, provided only that they 
dream of the Sermon on the Mount, 
and go forth and live in the pat-
tern of the Savior. 

PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR 



THESE ARE A 
Address Delivered on 

These are trying days. We have 
passed through a summer which 
has tested our courage and our reso-
lution. We face a future which to 
most of us will mean bitter sacri-
fice. For some there will be anxiety 
and waiting; for others, the heavy 
sorrow of loss. Wars are not won 
without blood and tears. Only the 
valiant and the strong shall con-
quer. But strong indeed are they 
whose cause is just. The searing 
flame of unselfish love sweeps all 
before it. Today, then, as we pre-
pare to go forth with the might and 
power of a free people, let us pause 
to examine our conscience. Let us 
be sure that we are inspired by 
lofty ideals, that our motives are 
right before God, and then we may 
face our enemies, undaunted by 
their terror, adamant against their 
cruelty and their hatred. 

The motives which we should 
seek are simply stated. We should 
strive to destroy evil, and we should 
plan to build a better world. The 
first motive is not difficult to ac-
quire. We love our country and 
we will defend it against the evil 
forces which have attacked it. Our 
determination is strengthened by 
the fact that our enemies have 
sought to root up the great free-

\Y BROTHERS 
September 20, 1942 
doms which we hold sacred. The 
second motive is likewise easy to 
accept in principle. All of us agree 
that at the peace table we should 
plan a world order, conceived in jus-
tice and charity, which would re-
move the festering wrongs which 
too often have furnished an excuse 
for conquest. The difficulty here 
lies in the working out of principles 
which will bring about this better 
world. In our talk today we shall 
attempt to consider these two mo-
tives, and what they mean in our 
life. 

In the first place, it is most im-
portant that we realize that we 
have been the victims of deliberate, 
premeditated aggression. By this 
phrase we do not refer primarily 
to the treacherous attack which pro-
voked our entry into this war. Nor 
do we have in mind the technical 
fact that the other Axis powers 
declared war upon us before we had 
decided whether or not to fight a 
contest of limited objectives. What 
we mean is that the present attack 
is the frui t of years of careful 
planning, long antedating Septem-
ber, 1-939. Nothing which we did 
or did not do in the last three years 
could have changed the outcome. 
The only alternative would have 



16 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
been ignominious submission to the 
all-conquering Axis. The evidence 
for this statement is now over-
whelming, whatever may have been 
the grounds for argument before 
last December. Now we have seen 
proof of minute military prepara-
tion, worked out in an exactness 
and detail which demanded years 
of accurate planning. Japan, for 
example, has intricate naval maps 
of our coastline. These were com-
piled as the result of thousands of 
reports gathered from naval officers 
posing as fishermen. She knows the 
difficult regions of the Aleutians 
with a thoroughness which we our-
selves cannot equal. Her navy was 
tailor-made to exploit the weak-
nesses of our own. She has used 
against us material which we sent 
her as an act of mercy in 1922. 
Her military men have devised 
equipment which could have no pos-
sible use save in an aggressive 
war against us. All this was done 
in the time when we fostered dis-
armament programs and scuttled 
our half-completed battleships. The 
preparation was in progress long 
before the present war, even before 
Japan's war with China. It was 
simply impossible for a relatively 
poor nation to do what Japan has 
done except through years of pa-
tient plotting and saving. This fact 
is seen more clearly when we com-

pare it with the policies of a peace-
loving nation like our own. We did 
not send fishermen to act as spies; 
we did not fortify Guam and the 
Philippines; we were not prepared 
for what informed men regarded as 
the inevitable. 

A similar story can be told of 
Europe. Here again we find evi-
dence of detailed and thorough 
planning. We are told, for exam-
ple, that the success of the submar-
ine campaign was due largely to one 
fact: That we did not expect any 
prolonged attacks upon our coastal 
shipping. The ordinary submarine, 
used to attack the sea lanes to Eur-
ope, would not be able to make .a 
round-trip to these shores and re-
main long enough to do serious 
damage. There had to be built a 
special type, equipped for very 
lengthy journeys. It would -have 
been useless to build such a com-
plicated craft merely to attack con-
voys. It was planned and built 
years ago to come to us. The same 
careful preparation is found in the 
elaborate fifth-column organiza-
tions flourishing in all the Amer-
icas. They started many years be-
fore 1939 to organize, to train their 
subjects, and to plot espionage and 
sabotage. This likewise was no 
accident. It was carrying out a 
policy stated in Hitler's Mein 
Kampf and clearly evident in the 



THESE ARE MY BROTHERS 17 
program of the National Socialist 
Party. 

It may seem strange to hear this 
military analysis on a religious 
program. Yet such an analysis is 
needed to show that ours is a war 
of defense and not of aggression. 
There are some among us who are 
still debating the issues which 
should have been sunk at Pearl 
Harbor. Because our leaders had 
the wisdom and insight to foresee 
the inevitable war and to prepare 
against it, some few would main-
tain that they provoked it. That is 
why even now we must pause to 
assert the righteousness of our mo-
tives. 

Let us not overlook at the same 
time the broader moral issues of 
this war. It is an evil thing that 
many small nations were violently 
invaded, stripped of their sub-
stance, and left in slavery. We need 
not be ashamed to be indignant at 
the fate of Poland or of Greece. If 
we shed tears for Holland or Bel-
gium or Norway, they are honest 
tears. We can be proud of our fury 
at the betrayal of Czechoslovakia 
and Yugoslavia. Our friendship 
for China and the Philippines is 
real and noble. It will be a shame-
ful day when Americans.can shrug 
away terrible injustices in the 
manner of those who in the Gospel 
story passed by the man lying 

wounded and robbed by the road-
side. Our indignation is not that 
of the Pharisee who feels that he 
himself is without sin. No, we too 
have been unjust in the past, and 
so have our allies; but surely all the 
political injustice in the United 
Nations today is white as snow com-
pared to the monstrous terror 
which has been imposed upon Eur-
ope and Asia. 

Let us consider too the fate of 
religion in the conquered lands of 
Europe. We have heard from high-
est authority how Poland and 
Yugoslavia have been deprived of 
their priests. We know that the 
clergy of Norway and Holland and 
Belgium have found the invader to 
be pagan and ruthless. It is no 
secret that in his own country he 
has planned a systematic and thor-
ough campaign against every form 
of religion, Christian and Jewish. 
Why then, should we fear to say 
that our cause is just? We in 
America hate this evil. Every fiber 
of decency within us revolts against 
it. We need not apologize for these 
feelings. The gentle Savior took 
up knotted cords to drive evil men 
from the Temple of God; today we 
bear arms to drive out those who 
would impose by force their mas-
ter plan of godlessness upon a 
stricken world. 

Yet as we gird ourselves for 



18 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
battle, we look forward to the days 
of peace. War for us is a grim 
necessity, not a chosen profession. 
We wish to forge a peace so wise 
and so just that the world will be 
spared for decades to come the 
frightfulness which has been in-
flicted upon us. It is not too soon 
to plan for these blessed days. The 
knowledge that we are building a 
better world will give us strength 
and determination when we face 
days of darkness and sorrow. Of 
course it would be foolish to expect 
at this date a complete blueprint of 
the peace treaty. Details will be 
governed by circumstances, but 
principles endure forever. It is 
for us to see that our principles 
are inspired by the eternal truths 
which flow from our common wor-
ship of an all-Holy God. 

As we face the future, one great 
evil rises up before us as a rock 
which could wreck our «hopes of 
peace. It is a form of national sel-
fishness which seeks the interest of 
one nation without any regard to 
the welfare of others or the com-
mon good of humanity. Whatever 
be its name—it has been national-
ism or blind isolationism—it is a 
form of the immoral philosophy of 
individualism which has plagued 
the modern world. It denies in 
theory or in practice the existence 
of any responsibility on the part of 

one people towards the other peo-
ples of the world. It has led to 
callous indifference towards great 
evils, to the breakdown of" inter-
national trade, and to the building 
up of pressures which inevitably 
lead to war. 

This narrow selfishness is di-
rectly opposed to the great com-
mands of Christ, that we sho"uld 
love God our Father and man our 
neighbor. Our present "Holy Father 
has condemned clearly and un-
flinchingly that "forgetfulness of 
that law of human solidarity and 
charity which is dictated and im-
posed by our common origin and the 
equality of rational nature in all 
men, to whatever people they be-
long, and by the redeeming Sacri-
fice offered by Jesus Christ on the 
Altar of the Cross to His Heavenly 
Father on behalf of sinful man-
kind" (Summi Pontificatus, N.C. 
W.C., p. 16). In contrast, His Holi-
ness speaks of "A marvelous vis-
ion, which makes us see the human 
race in the unity of one common 
origin in God 'one God and Father 
of all, who is above all, and through 
out all, and in us all' " (Eph. 4 :6) ; 
in the unity of nature which in 
every man is equally composed of 
material body and spiritual, im-
mortal soul; in the unity of the 
immediate end and mission' in the 
world; in the unity of dwelling 



THESE ARE MY BROTHERS 19 
place, the earth, of whose resources 
all men can by natural right avail 
themselves to sustain and develop 
life; in the unity of the supernat-
ural end, God Himself, to Whom all 
should tend; in the unity of means 
to secure that end" {Ibid., p. 17). 
Ours then is a oneness of origin 
and destiny which cannot leave us 
indifferent to the welfare of our 
fellow man, wherever he may live or 
whoever he may be. 

This truth is reinforced by the 
economic ties which bind men to-
gether, whether they wish it or not. 
We have found out that a land even 
as rich as our own is deeply de-
pendent upon the products of other 
nations. Yet many persons have 
blinded themselves to this truth. 
With suicidal selfishness they broke 
these ties and unleashed the forces 
of hate throughout the world. In 
the words of our Secretary of 
State, "Nationalism, run riot be-
tween this war and the last war, 
defeated all attempts to carry out 
indispensable measures of interna-
tional economic and political ac-
tion ; encouraged and facilitated the 
rise of dictators; and drove the 
world straight towards the present 
war" (July 24, 1942). Unless na-
tions have access on equal terms to 
the trade and raw materials of the 
world which are necessary for their 
economic prosperity, they will not 

keep the peace. Here is one prom-
ise of the Atlantic Charter which 
must be kept, regardless of petty 
and partisan interests. May we 
quote once again our Holy Father: 
"Within the limits of a new order 
founded on moral principles, there 
is no place for that cold and cal-
culating egoism which tends to 
hoard the economic resources and 
materials destined for the use of all 
to such an extent that the nations 
less favored by nature are not per-
mitted access to them" (Christmas 
Message, 1941). His Holiness goes 
on to note that the nations which 
control so much of the world's 
wealth have admitted the justice of 
his conclusions. Enduring peace 
must be planned; it will not come 
about of itself when the last shot 
is fired. Here is our great respon-
sibility on the day of victory. 

In fighting the selfishness of na-
tionalism, however, we must be 
cautious lest we rush to the other 
extreme and seek an impossible 
form of internationalism. Nations 
have the right to separate existence 
and to self-determination. Each 
has its own genius and its own 
qualities. Within these nations are 
often minority groups which in 
turn must be respected. It would be 
folly to fight the battles of freedom 
only to deny this freedom when we 
have conquered. Here is a matter 



20 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
which poses many difficult prob-
lems, but they can be solved by jus-
tice, and prudence, and charity. In 
nations as with persons there are 
questions which are rightly con-
sidered to be purely individual, 
while others concern the common 
good and the general welfare. If 
we have the proper spirit, we can 
determine this distinction in a fair 
and equitable manner. 

Let us then face the future with 
a sense of sober responsibility. Our 
world is too complex for blind sel-
fishness; our love of country too 
deep and too sacred for any Utopian 
union which would submerge our 

national genius and our common 
flag. Ours must be a middle way, a 
path of moderation and justice and 
charity. With these principles we 
know that our motives are pure; 
that we are fighting for the cause 
of freedom and right. If such be 
our thoughts, then we shall be stern 
and hard in the face of danger. 
Ours will be the courage of men 
who walk before God in sincerity 
and righteousness. Then, in the 
words of our national anthem: 
"Conquer we must; for our cause, 
it is just; and this be our motto: 
'In God is our t rus t . ' " 
PRAYER IN TIME OF WAR 



GOD IS MY FATHER 
Address Delivered on September 27, 1942 

Many men have concerned them- the tragic wars of 1917 and 1939 
selves with the plans for a new began in nations preeminent in such 
world order. They have erected knowledge? Germany was a beacon 
magnificent structures with a of culture; Japan proclaimed her-
stroke of the pen. As we read their self the most advanced nation in the 
books, we picture before our eyes East. By contrast, the Ethiopians 
great confederations of ¡nations, lived under primitive conditions; 
majestic tribunals of justice, inter- China was only beginning to learn 
national armies to act as a police the ways of modern nationalism and 
force to carry out the decrees of industrialism; Borneo and New 
even-handed equity. Verily they Guinea lived in the manner handed 
place before us the picture once down to them by their fathers' 
painted by Isaias, where swords are fathers from the forgotten genera-
beaten into ploughshares, where the tions in the dim dawn of man's life 
lion lies down with the lamb, with upon earth. Yet it was not these 
a little child leading the forces of simple people whose civilization is 
the redeemed. We see a vision of different from ours that provoked 
factories roaring at top speed to this great conflict. They did not 
reduce the poverty and misery of surge forth from their borders to 
the world. In regions once forgot- impose their way of life upon the 
ten we behold children with dancing entire world. They were the victims 
eyes leaving countless school-rooms not the aggressors. Their tactics of 
where they drink up knowledge defense were weak and puny be-
denied to their parents. The glor- side the powerful forces unleashed 
ious promises of modern science by science in the service of barbar-

again be so ignorant as to stoop to learn, that knowledge and learning

This is indeed a picture which ap- kind. A training deeper than the 
peals to our heart. Yet as we read mere cultivation of the mind is 
these lines, troublesome questions needed; man's heart must be dis-
arise. We ask: If science and ciplined as well, 
learning will produce peace and Here then is the weakness of the 
happiness, how did it happen that elaborate plans for a new world. 



22 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
They build beautifully, but they 
have no foundation. Their plans are 
imposing, if only they could use as 
their raw material men perfect in 
every way. But the world in which 
We live is a world of imperfect 
men, sometimes weak, often selfish, 
at times greedy, frequently proud 
—men who can be deceitful and 
cruel and ungrateful. We cannot 
but think of the powerful indict-
ment of St. Paul, which sums up in 
burning words the reason for the 
world's evil: "For the wrath of 
God is revealed from heaven 
against all ungodliness and wicked-
ness of those men who . . . hold 
back the truth of God . . . For since 
the creation of the world His in-
visible attributes are clearly seen 
—his everlasting power also and 
divinity—being understood through 
the things that are made. And so 
they are without excuse, seeing 
that although they knew God, they 
did not glorify him as God or give 
thanks, but became vain in their 
reasonings, and their senseless 
minds have been darkened. For 
while professing to be wise, they 
have become fools, and they have 
changed the glory of the incorrupt-
ible God for an image made like to 
corruptible man . . . Therefore God 
has given them up in the lustful 
desires of their heart to unclean-
ness . . . They who exchanged the 

truth of God for a lie, and wor-
shipped and served the creature 
rather than the Creator who is 
blessed forever . . . And as they 
have resolved against possessing 
the knowledge of God, God has 
given them up to a reprobate sense, 
so that they do what is not fitting; 
"being filled with all iniquity, mal-
ice, immorality, avarice, wicked-
ness; being full of ency, murder, 
contention, deceit, malignity; being 
whisperers, detractors, hateful to 
God, irreverent, proud, haughty, 
plotters of evil; disobedient to par-
ents, foolish, dissolute, without 
affection, without fidelity, without 
mercy" (Romans 1:18-32). 

Here is a condemnation of pagan-
ism without parallel for its power 
and its insight. It lays bare the 
vices which are the root of the 
world's misery, and it penetrates 
to their cause, the denial of God. 
Our lesson, then, is clear: In addi-
tion to these intricate plans for re-
forming the world, there must be a 
return to God and to the simple 
virtues of a God-fearing society. 
There is a place, and a real one, for 
political and economic planning, 
but they build in vain who do not 
have God for a foundation. The 
first truth upon which the new 
world order must be built is the 
existence of God; God Who is holy, 
and just, and loving, and Who has 



GOD IS MY FATHER 23 
made man to live in His image and 
likeness. From this truth flow the 
two great commandments: "Thou 
shalt love the Lord thy God with 
thy whole heart, and with thy 
whole soul, and with thy whole 
strength, and with thy whole mind; 
and thy neighbor as thyself" (Lwfce 
10:27). This we must do that we 
may live. 

St. Paul does not excuse us for 
ignorance of God, since the power 
of God is seen in the works of His 
hand. We do not need to look to 
the majesty of the heavens or the 
beauties of nature to see the wis-
dom of the Creator. We can learn 
of His power and might simply 
from what modern science has told 
us of ourselves. Consider, for ex-
ample, the eye of man. Its struct-
ure of millions of nerves is so in-
tricate that it could be compared 
only to the telephone system of a 
great city like New York or Chi-
cago. Yet in this tiny space each 
nerve is nourished and repaired 
with such care and accuracy that 
through long days and months and 
years it can serve as a window of 
the soul. This is but one small part 
of the great, throbbing organism 
which is the human body. How is 
it possible that anyone can know 
this and doubt the power and wis-
dom of God? Are we wiser than 
the great Pasteur whose growth in 

knowledge but served to deepen his 
reverence for the Creator? 

Nor can we say that the world 
can live without God and His holy 
law. What other foundation can 
man offer? Would he build his new 
world upon self-interest? That is 
what we have done in the past, and 
today we are expiating in bitterness 
of soul the fruits of that past. 
Selfishness means greed, and pride, 
and cruelty. It leads to a world 
where every man lives for himself, 
with his hand raised against his 
fellow man. It means strife and 
factions and envy. Such a world is 
filled with hatred. There is anarchy 
in the economic order and piracy in 
the political order. Without God 
men live for this world and its 
fleeting pleasures. They seek only 
themselves. They are cruel and 
heartless; they are harsh and un-
forgiving. In the words of St. Paul, 
they are "without affection, without 
fidelity, without mercy" (Romans 
1:32). This is a fearful picture, 
yet if we return to the ways of 
selfishness, it is a prophecy of what 
is to be. 

We cannot build our new world 
upon force, divorced from justice 
and mercy. This would be a return 
to the superstate, to a worship of 
naked power, to the .cruel tyranny 
which today we fight in many 
battlefields. Surely we have had our 



24 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
fill of those men who come to us 
with a plea for power, that they 
might make a world according to 
their image and likeness. Such 
power is not for man; it corrupts 
his heart; hardens it with the 
armor of pride; darkens his vision 
with the blinders of conceit; and 
plunges him down to the earth 
whence he sprang and whither man 
will ever return unless he be raised 
by the hand of God. 

These ways have been tried and 
they failed. It is for us to build 
more soundly, upon the true foun-
dations of a Godlike heart. Here 
is a chance to work for tomorrow, 
even while the harsh realities of to-
day are with us. It is too soon to 
plan the economic and political in-
stitutions of the new world; but it 
is never too soon to make our own 
selves ready for our duties in this 
world. We must learn now to live 
rightly with ourselves, our neigh-
bor, and with the material world 
which was made to serve the 
spirit. 

Living rightly with ourselves is 
called humility, the forgotten virtue 
in a proud and selfish age. Humil-
ity means little more than honesty 
with ourselves. It is a fair apprais-
al of the good and the bad, as it 
appears in the eyes of God. This 
honesty is not an easy thing to 
practice. Our tendency is to over-

look or excuse the evil and magnify 
the good. In this remarkable 
world, every automobile accident is 
the fault of the other driver. 
Every poorly made golf shot is to be 
blamed on the caddy. Every failure 
in business is the result of deceit } 
and trickery on the part of our com-
petitors. We are never to blame. 
We never wish to face unpleasant 
facts. We do not eat in an auto-
mat because we are poor; it is only 
because the service is rapid. We 
wear cotton stockings because 
nylon irritates our skin. We buy a 
dollar watch because our fifty-
jeweled chronometer is being re-
paired. We spend money for cos-
metics even if we have to skimp on 
necessary food. On the other hand, 
we are less hesitant to take credit 
for what appears good. If we have 
a good job, we attribute it to our 
ability, not to the fortunate choice 
of parents with money and good 
connections. We become vain over 
such assets as strength or beauty or I 
talent, when we deserve little credit 
for getting them or developing 
them. If we are praised for some- J 
thing we did not do, we keep a dis-
creet silence. All this is dishonest 
and false. We see how ridiculous 
such pretense is in other people, but 
we lack the candor and sincerity 
to see how unreal it makes us to be. 
If we could picture some revolution-



GOD IS MY FATHER 25 
ary discovery which would enable 
others to read our thoughts and to 
peer into the dark recesses of our 
memory, we would find ourselves 
taking an entirely different attitude 
towards the world about us. Having 
that same honest appraisal of our-
selves now would mean acquiring 
the virtue of humility. 

Honesty towards ourselves would 
lead us a long way towards sound 
attitudes in, regard to our fellow 
man. There is only one sane way of 
treating those with whom we live, 
and that is the way of Christ. It is 
called love of neighbor. It means 
treating those about us with the 
same regard which we show in-
stinctively towards ourselves. It is 
the acknowledgment of every man's 
worth as a man, regardless of age, 
or creed, or color, or education, or 
wealth. This does not mean that we 
will find everyone about us temper-
amentally agreeable to us. We will 
still dislike the poor jokes of one 
man, the raucous laugh of another, 
the boorish manners of a third. 
Perhaps for their own good we may 
have to call their attention to cer-
tain irritating faults. But if we 
are aware of our own faults, we are 
not so likely to be harsh in judging 
those of our neighbor. When we 
honestly feel that our success was 
mainly a matter of good fortune, we 
will not be so critical of those who 

did not get a real chance. We will 
see much more good in people when 
we are interested in them than we 
did when the sun rose and set upon 
our own little world. Perhaps then 
the frailties of others will mean 
rather an opportunity to help those 
in need than an occasion to criticise 
every little failing. There have been 
men and women who looked upon 
their fellow men that way and lived 
to serve them. In the Catholic 
Church we call them saints. Others, 
too have been able to take this view 
of humanity. They are our heroes 
and patriots, such as Washington 
and Lincoln and Lee. These men 
knew how to live. They became true 
to themselves by serving others. We 
may well follow them as they fol-
lowed Christ. 

Finally, we will learn that living 
well with ourselves and with our 
neighbor will teach us sanity in the 
use of the goods of this world. 
Food and drink and clothing, and 
the money with which to buy these 
things, are good in themselves. God 
made them to serve us and to help 
us to live a decent life. They be-
come evil only when we live to serve 
them. This is greed or avarice or 
perhaps an insane lust for power. 
We need money to live comfortably. 
If we have rendered exceptional 
service to the community, then per-
haps we have earned the right to a 



26 THE VICTORY OF THE JUST 
larger share of this world's com-
forts. But we never have the right 
for mere display or the senseless 
piling up of unneeded wealth. We 
have no right to be sated with 
superfluous goods, when others are 
starving or in poverty. For our 
own good we should seek money 
only in moderation; for the good of 
our neighbor we must be ever ready 
to aid those in distress; and for the 
perfection of our soul, we should 
put aside earthly cares, and devote 
ourselves to the service of God and 
of our neighbor. 

If these demands seem hard to 
us, let us pray God to soften our 
heart, to remove the tough coat of 
pride, and selfishness, and greed. 
Would we have the courage to ask 
for a rear cure for these evils? 
Would we dare to ask for the bless-
ing of suffering, be it sickness of 

the body, bereavement of the 
spirit, or that profound contrition 
of heart which comes from the 
awareness of our sinfulness and 
weakness? The heart that has suf-
fered with God is not proud or 
selfish. Broken with pain, humbled 
unto the dust, it acquires the di-
vine gif t of sympathy and compas-
sion. But, my friends, God has 
given us the blessing of suffering 
in this war. We know the meaning 
of sorrow and bereavement and 
pain. Let us place these gifts on 
the altar. Let us walk down from 
Calvary with the profound faith 
that tomorrow will see the glory of 
the Resurrection, the birth of a new 
world, a world blessed with the en-
during blessing of justice and love, 
under God. 

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 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.
