Some few more than thirty million people were killed. All-out war is a horrible enterprise. But the years of conflict, for all their carnage and suffering, were perhaps not so terrible for many as these last two years of aftermath. A pall of fear hangs over human- ity’s millions. The byways of the world’s cities have been lit- tered with the starved dead. Blood has gushed in torrents from the cudgeled heads of non- conformist voters. Millions have gone through two winters sup- ping at pots of make believe soup. Millions of children have shivered and cried in the cold and in their parents’ despair. Some people are eating mud — the clay eaters, starving—filling their hapless bodies with the dirt of the ground. The ruthless backwash of a ruthless war! We want no more of it. The jingoists who proclaimed its glory ten years ago would find no welcome today amongst their disillusioned followers, stagger- ing, bleeding, starving. Oh yes, there was courage, on both sides; and heroism, and magnifi- cent sacrifice. But let every his- torian who extols the courage or acumen of men, or regiments, or armies, let him add a final para- graph in which each war is ac- credited for its savage butchery of mankind. Please do not misunderstand me. I do not question our just and necessary armed conflict against aggressors. Our nation is obliged under justice- to pro- tect its citizens against enemies outside, as it is obliged to pro- tect us against criminals with- in. But at the same time I wish to emphasize the quick descent of war to savagery, and its ever increasing viciousness. In the words of Senator Vandenberg at Cleveland: ‘‘We ourselves Re- vised the atom bomb—an appal- ling tribute to our illimitable genius— an equally appalling prophecy of civilization’s suicide unless World War III is stopped before it starts.” When we look back, we are shocked at our own moral de- 8 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS scent between Coventry and Hiroshima. But that is the way with all-out war. Recognizing this crescendo in brutality, the statesmen of the world have been patiently gath- ering in almost uninterrupted conference, since two years ago this month at San Francisco. Our representatives feel they have progressed surprisingly far along the road to lasting peace; they confess readily that the journey is far from com- plete. We hope that our seeming impatience will not be construed by them a whining criticism cast as an obstacle in their path but rather a spur, like ceaseless cheers from the grandstand beg-, ging for a touchdown. So much- of humanity is des- perate! So many of the war's ambitions have been compromxis- ed in fact, if not in word. The United Nations' representatives did remarkably wellf^ write in- to the charter an objective of “respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all—^without distinction as to race, sex, language or religion" (Charter—Chapter 1, Art. 1, P. 3). It looks so good on paper! Perhaps we are impertinent to ask, but is there any more free- dom of speech than there was in 1939—any more freedom of re- ligion, freedom from want and from fear? Let's ask the people of Poland, or Yugoslavia, or Al- bania. Let's ask the millions of displaced persons. Thousands of Americans died for those four freedoms; we will do well not to sell them but too easily lest their vain blood shame our cowardly hands forever. Shall we therefore chide our representatives for what has not been accomplished? On the con- trary they did remarkably well. Considering the stubborn oppo- sition they had to face, compro- mise was often the price to be paid for some success, in place of complete failure. They must have felt at times very lonely in the meagre sup- port our public opinion gave them. Right now only twenty percent of us put trust for peace in their present organization, and only forty-three percent think peace can be secured by any organization. Most of us apparently are willing to accept war as the inevitable horror that strikes the world in cycles. Yet, who wants it? Peoples are whip- ped into it by ranting appeals to greed, to pride, to hatred ; and then other peoples must rise and fight against them. Or op- pressed nations rise to throw off the tyranny of their oppres- MORALITY AT LAKE SUCCESS 9 sors. Or persecuted peoples rise to beat off their persecutors. Why are we so fatalistic about the inevitability of these causes of war? Because we in the past, the majority people of the world, have been disorganized and apa- thetic about the sparks of ag- gression, oppressed .minorities, and persecuted races. These are the sparks that set the world on fire; these are the real causes of wars. We have been indifferent to victims of persecution and rank injustice, as long .as they were far enough away their sobs and groans did not disturb our sleep. We bestirred ourselves only when the raging flames were lapping at our door. If the United Nation's Com- mission on Human Rights has been too slow in bringing before the General Assembly unim- peachable facts about religious persecution, racial oppression, exploitation of dependent states, we are at least partially to blame for our apathy and lassitude. Especially you and I, Christians and Jews, who are in America the fifty-two percent professing religious belief. We who surely can meet at the common denomi- nator of belief in God, the Su- preme Judge of man; at least we, who by religious affiliation profess the moral superiority of justice over brute force—we are to blame for our silence and our indifference. Perhaps in clinch- ing our gains that came with the war or fulfilling our wants cur- tailed by war we have been oc- cupied too entirely to concern ourselves about whole nations to whom our ‘‘4 freedoms" war has ‘ brought nothing but suffering and despair. Perhaps’ we are re- ceding once again into that smug false security of ‘'ocean- protected-America." Dare we forget that it is not very far from Main Street to Latvia and Estonia and Lithuania. Lithuania ! occupied since 1944 by her Russian liberator, under whose command religious books have been destroyed, printing presses confiscated, farms by legal subterfuge being collectivized, many being taken from their owners for distribu- tion as prizes to Red soldiers; ail convents and monasteries closed; all churches being insuf- • ferably taxed into obliteration — upon default being turned into warehouses. Is this no concern of ours? The 100,000 sent to Si- beria have no claim upon us, so far and safely away ! They have life—^those 100,000—eyes like ours, they breathe the same kind of air and in the same way ; they have hands and feet, and 10 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS people they love, children they begot. They are human beings. Their wailing lamentations trouble the air. Are they too sordid for our nice eyes to see? Do they scream too loudly in their agony? Shall we strike up the band, America, and look the other way ! Can we pretend we have not noticed them? They were made by our God too. Think about that my fellow Christians and Jews—in your restless sleep—^they too were made by our God. And you, my fellow Ameri- cans, who profess no religious belief—either because of our bad example in a Christianity disunited, or because you are too busy pursuing substitutes for God, in money or pleasure or power—take a look at human history. For thousands of years we have been trying one tragic experiment after another. Hat- red and pride, greed and brutal force have -stalked the stage century in and out, and always at the final curtain-call were grisly, disillusioned men. We have tried the experiment of physical science and turned every finding of our science into an engine of destruction. We have no cure for polio, or can- cer, but we are ready to wage a cataclysmic war of deadly germs. At the first provocation we have always turned music and literature and art into handj^ instruments of propa- ganda. In none of these have nations found peace. The little people were always disappointed, left weaker and emptier and more hopeless. Hate and force, cor- rupted law or art or science, have ultimately either killed them or put them as wanderers' on the road. Did you see them in the newsreels: the corpses piled ten feet high; the haggard nomads in the cattle caTs? . Do we want that? Is that what America wants for her childi-en? Being a Catholic priest I would like to go back to the be- ginning and trace step by step how decency and sound morality are dependencies and by-pro- ducts of basic religious truth. I would like to demonstrate logi- cally how you can bring the very acme of perfection into your life by belief in and imitation of Jesus Christ. But right now, that would be like giving a slow, careful first-aid course while a man is bleeding to death in the street. If you will but meet me on the common ground that might does not make right, if you will MORALITY AT LAKE SUCCESS 11 join with me in resentment over the fact that many of our fellow humans are getting a dirty deal, then you and I can do something about it. How? The public opinion of the people of our country can be a light of hope to millions of desperate suffer- ers throughout the world. Ame- rica has been good to us. We dare not jeopardize the heritage which our ancestors bought in labor, prayer, and sacrifice. But neither dare'we close our ears to the agonizing pleas of a human- ity that has bled for peace, and is not getting it. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights has before it one thous- and protests; they are largely the last forlorn wails of people ruthlessly crushed. If only one percent of the people of the United States are interested actively in peace through justice and charity—then we shall have peace. My fellow Americans, give the United Nations the support of your public opinion—talk about it to your friends whenever the opportunity arises. But plead for a strong United Nations— a jiist United Nations—that will not ever sacrifice any just rights for the pleasure of keep- ing any delegation seated. Pray for the United Nations—ask God to guide them and to give them courage to do what .is right and just and decent; not to pussyfoot, not to wink at any- body's evil. Ask God not to for- sake them, even though in our wretched times they are afraid to mention His Name. MORALITY ON MAIN STREET Address given on April 20, 1947 Religion in general has cer- tainly taken a beating in the last few years. It has been syste- matically mauled in many parts of the world, because it stands as an obstacle to that fanatical modern faith which holds that the economic community is the new god and this god alone may man serve. Mammon is de- manding a “showdown’’ with God. Here in the United States, under our Bill of Rights, except for an occasional flare-up of jealousy between church groups, or an even more rare denuncia- tion of all religion by someone worshipping at the shrine of no- toriety, religion in general suf- fers no violence. But while the percentage of our population professing religious affiliation is larger than ever before, yet there is a surprisingly large per- centage (be their names on the church lists or not) who are either apathetic or confused. Those who are intellectually indifferent to religion burn most of the incense of their trust be- fore the temple of physical sci- ence. Religion to them, is but a hangover caused by man’s drink- ing in superstitious ideas during the night of his ignorance. They admit that much in man and in the universe is still unsolved but the implication always is that we are just beginning—event- ually the fuming test-tubes will solve everything. It is slightly more than sixty years since John Tyndall, the British Physicist, announced the principle that science alone was competent to deal with all man’s major problems. But many emi- nent scientists today disown such ambitious claims. They are humble enough to seek truth elsewhere than merely at the end of equations. They are ob- servant enough to see that -the logical conclusion of reducing everything to the material is a gospel of despair, contrary to the deepest yearnings of the hu- man heart, productive of noth- ing save a warehouse of statis- tics which will be buried forever, with the last dying man. Unfor- tunately, those who proudly wait outside the laboratory door have not noticed that the genius in- side has taken to his books for a philosophic interlude, and broods MORALITY ON MAIN STREET 13 with Alexander Pope: “A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring.” Sunday supple- ments please copy. No one ever gets out of a muddle until he recognizes he is in one. Aside from these who arbi- trarily rule out religion as an answer to human problems there is a vast army of open minded but confused men of I good will. They are hesitant to yield to religion's demands, un- convinced of religion's prom- ises. Confusion freezes them into cautious waiting. Contra- dictory pronouncements, by var- ious divided religious groups and their leaders, on matters of doctrine and morality are no small cause of wonderment. Basic and vital truths which appeal to God for their author- ity, lose the respect of sincere minds when they are watered down, modified or completely de- nied in an effort to please men. Another source of confusion is the bad example of some who profess religion with their lips, and deny it in their actions. But it is not my purpose here to analyze the psychological or historical obstacles to acceptance of revealed doctrines and moral law. Rather do I speak of the natural man and his need for religion if he would not be re- duced to an animal or to a slave. We Americans are of a prac- tical mind. Let us ask, there- fore, honestly,' searchingly, fear- lessly, ready to accept the truth regardless of what it may be: What is the truth which denies that man is an accidental by- product of a huge mindless, pur- poseless, mathematical machine? What is the truth which fairly screams,, man is not a slave either of a capitalist master or of a five-year plan ? What is the truth which denies that man is a mere moment in the life of a race, with no greater purpose than that of stock on a farm? What is the truth which makes man free? What is the truth which makes a man a man? It is the truth which proclaims that man is a creature of God, with an immortal destiny; that as a child of God and a member of God-made society he is en- dowed with ^ certain inalienable rights. This is a basic truth of naturaT religion. When men deny it they commit moral and intellectual suicide. When men deny it they reduce themselves and their fellow humans to ani- mals or to slaves. 14 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS Man has rights because of his dignity. He has worth because of his destiny and because he is created in the image of God. Man’s destiny and his relation- ship to God are the only pillars upon which stand the dignity of man. Pull down the pillars and you pull down the man. I confess that this process of reasoning seenis to make of God a utility. But I fear there are many not interested enough even to consider God until they see that He ma1?ters to them in everyday life. Therefore, the best way to show how much God matters is to carry the denial of God to its bitter logical conclusion. The Nazis were well along the way towards putting into practice that bitter logical conclusion. Deny God and you deny the sole source of man’s inalienable rights. Once rights are wiped out, the only law left is the law of physical force. Then he who shackles his fellow men is not bad, he is smart. He who slaughters five million Jews does nothing wrong, for who are they but people without rights? Murder, debauchery, perjury, every abomination held in ab- horrence by decent men, all be- come the virtues of the con- queror. Power is the standard for all human appraisal. Not a very pretty picture, to deny God, and be logical about it. And no high-sounding substi- tute for God will ever confer on man more than a counterfeit boon of freedom and justice. For these are the by-products of God-given inalienable rights. You cannot have the smile of God reflected in the face of man, if you curtain the face of God with man’s unbridled pride. These are some basic truths of natural religion. Must we stop here? Will admission of these few fundamentals fill the cup of human desire? We may as well - ask: will a thirsting man be satisfied with a thimble- ful of water? Neither will the man with a soul thirsting for God ever be satisfied with a thimbleful of God. The quest goes on for the thirst still re- mains; in fact it is even sharp- ened by the certainty now that it can be assuaged. But it is not my intention here to enter into a comparative study of the measure of ti^uth offered by various religious groups. To those who would seek sincerely the fullness of re- vealed truth I offer the invita- tion which our Lord issued to MORALITY ON MAIN STREET 15 the timid lads who asked : ^'Mas- ter, where dwellest thou? He said to them, ‘Come and see' " 1:39). Now, however, do I rather apply the basic facts of natural religion to the American scene. When any of us, either individ- ually or in groups, denies by force the inalienable rights ' of other Americans we become un- worthy of the flag which came forth from the conviction that all men are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights. Prejudicial treatment meted out to racial minorities, for example during the war, to Americans of Japanese ancestry, will be a long time awashing from the hands of people dedicated to freedom, with liberty and justice for all. To deny a man his rights be- cause of his race, or religion, or color is to abrogate our own rights under the Fatherhood of God. Much has been said these past “ few months about America's leadership in a world that is aching for peace. The necessity of our bringing to the United ^ Nations spiritual and moral leadership has been emphasized. How can we bring spiritual values or good moral standards if we do not have them at home? Our representatives at United Nations councils represent our government. But we are the government of the United States. Shall we therefore pharisaically instruct them to bring justice, security and re- spect for human rights to the Council tables of the • world, while at home we are haters of minorities within our boundar- ies? Observers returning from the American zone of occupation in Germany report to us of the starvation diet imposed upon the people there. And when our government moves to buy up some food on the American mar- ket to correct the wretched con- dition a wail of protest arises from many quarters here at home: “Uncle Sam is playing Santa Claus again!" There is a famous story in the Bible about a starving man named Lazarus snatching crumbs f|rom the over- flowing banquet table of Dives. Our ^ wailers ought to read it about once a week. It is easy enough to applaud a 4th of July speech about democracy, and freedom and justice for all, but though I blister my hands in clapping I am a hypocrite if I do not practice these principles in my daily life. It is easy enough to stand at reverent at- 16 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS tention in church for the reading of Christ’s Gospel on loving one’s neighbor, but I am a fraud if I devote the others six days to hatred and discrimination. America can give spiritual and moral leadership to the Uni- ted Nations, but we cannot bring it to Lake Success if we do not have it on Main Street. What can I do?—you ask. My answer: —get ready to swallow hard a few times beginning tomorrow morning. Be determined to ac- cent the good qualities of every- one you meet. Be willing to overlook a few shortcomings. Think more on the equality of all men within God’s love. Think less about our own temporary gains. And if you would reach for perfection, to experience a joy that accompanies only great- ness of mind and heart—‘'do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” MORALITY IN THE HUMAN. HEART Address given on April 27, 1947 The United Nations Security Council is in no way concerned about the security of any mar- riage contract. But the increas- ing divorce rate in the United States will be reflected event- ually in all the proceedings of the United Nations Organiza- tion. The United States physi- cally is the most powerful’ na- tion in the world. But what America does abroad is deter- mined by what America is at home. America is at home no better than the homes which make America. In 1915 every tenth marriage ended in divorce; in, 1945, every fourth marriage. It is estimated that in 1960 every other mar- riage will end in the divorce court. The solution is not to build more and better courts to handle the increasing numbers seeking divorce; the solution is to build better marriages. There are countless unions of conven- ience effected by men and wo- men today which masquerade under the name of marriage, but which do not deserve the title. The mounting number of di- vorces is the junkyard of poorly constructed marriages, often sham marriages, contracted without any hope or intention for permanency. But divorce is only one ugly symptom of the disease in so- ciety. Adolescent delinquency, dishonesty in business and in government, racial and economic injustice, ' international power politics, all these are various symptoms of the same disease of society. The disease is immoral- ity, that is, a lack of responsibil- ity to God who governs and judges men. All the counterfeit devices which are supposed to supplant God in men's hearts are of little avail. God is the Supreme Law- giver, source,^nd ultimate sanc- tion of all morality. Instead of going back to Him we are offer- ed an ever-increasing number of ersatz gods: a sense of serving the community, goody-good feel- ings of righteousness, and such like. Then we have also an abun- dant supply of demagogues who advocate discarding all pretense at morality. Custom is their supreme lawgiver, and custom is very conveniently subject tc 18 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS the will and passion and whim of men. A well-known psychiatrist re- cently stated that the way to get rid of the divorce problem is to get rid of marriage." Let^s carry that idea as a principle into some logical conclusions. Sick- ness and disease could be eradi- cated too by killing, off the afflicted. You can erase the evils of capital by confiscating all pri- vate property. You can avoid labor conflicts by reducing all working people to slavery. You can wipe out the differences in a democracy by establishing a dic- tatorship. You can eliminate the shortcomings of education by closing all schools. In fact all the earthly ills to which human- ity is subject can be wiped out by destroying all human life. But few people would so violate their nature as to subscribe to the destruction of ^hat which is good to eliminate an evil. Ham- let's soliloquy, ^‘To be or not to be," presents no great problem of judgment to anyone of normal common sense. When a good and an evil are so intertwined that fighting the one unfortunately involves the other, we sometimes become con- fused. If we will only keep in mind that our attack must al- ways be aimed directly at the evil—^never at the evil througl the good—^we shall not be taker in by a superficial thinker, t poor philosopher, or a sentimen- tal theologian. Whenever you directly destroy a good to cure an evil, you are killing the dog to get rid of the fleas. We have an evil in modern so- ciety. It shows itself in every phase of human activity: home life, national life, international life. It cannot be cured by kill- ing society. It cannot be cured by the declaration that it is no longer an evil. Some say that education will set things aright. We might agree if education be qualified to mean: education unto moral- ity. But most educators today are quite appalled with the moral deficiencies of our present system. You will not find many college presidents, or school principals and teachers, or police chiefs or juvenile court judges, who are impressed with the ca- pability of preseht day educa- tion to produce good conduct among its charges. Some say we need more laws. We have so many laws now that the printers can scarcely kee^ up with the task of publishing them. Obedience to law is our defect. People in large numbers not only break man-made law5 MORALITY IN THE HUMAN HEART 19 with abandon, they break the laws which are part of theii very nature. In fact we see some movements in progress to- day which are designed to lobby through legislatures laws which violate the very natural law. Confusion worse confounded! Some think that a complete economic readjustment in the form of communism will bring peace and order and happiness to humanity. In the series of lectures on that subject which Monsignor Sheen recently pre- sented on this Catholic Hour, he surely demonstrated to every open-minded man the futility of that system to cure our ills. There is really only one solu- tion to the moral chaos which blights human society; religion! And I do not mean superficial religion. I do not mean a senti- mental feeling, fickle as a weather vane ; nor a conven- ient respectability which comes from occasionally attending a Sunday church service. I mean real religion based on the relationship between man and his God. Real religion! by which a man counts the know- ledge of his Creator above the knowledge of any creature; by which a man esteems the love of God above any inferior love; by which a man values the re- spect of God above any human respect. Religion that does not stop when the candles are ex- tinguished on Sunday morning. Religion which goes into the home, and there shows itself in family prayer, mutual love and kindness, by which father and mother and children sublimate their own desires unto peace and holiness of a family under the loving regard of God the Father. Religion that goes with a man into the office or factory, by which he would lose his job or lose an investment, rather than lose God’s approval of his hon- esty. Religion which looks be- yond this life, by which a man knows that his standard of earthly life is not: “can I get away with it?” but rather: “what will God’s judgment be when I stand before Him to ren- der an account of my steward- ship?” This is the kind of religion that will restore peace and se- curity to our troubled lives and to a troubled world. It is the only cure for the moral insanity that is sweeping the earth like a heavy poisoned fog. The only escape is to climb above. The only light to guide our steps up 20 AMERICA, MORALITY, AND THE UNITED NATIONS the mountainside to safety is the light of faith in God. As individuals, you and I are painfully aware of our inabil- ity , to do very much about the moral chaos of the world. The odds are great against us. There are all too many observers of the so called ‘‘modern’’ type who profess to be pleased at the whole confused mess. Most peo- ple are simply indifferent; they do not approve, but they live for the day and shrug at thoughts of tomorrow. We fairly writhe at the servility and toadyism of some supposed representatives of religion. Then there are the en- trenched materialists with their appeals to men’s avarice and lust and short-term ambition. Worst of all are the poor smug disciples of the modern pharisees, compla- cent in self-deceit, reveling in the age of gadgets, unconscious of spiritual bankruptcy, un- aware of the race toward des- pair. With all these circumstances about us, we knoW too of the weakness within us, the sensual- ity and laziness of our own hu- man nature, the selfishness in the hearts of each of us. But at least we dare to be no longer self-satisfied. At least and at last we recognize the need of a Saviour. The multitudinous company of the frivolous will never content our discontented souls. The emptiness of others’ lives will never fill the void in our own. Eventually we become as lonely hunters, discontent to follow'the baying hounds who have nothing better to offer as a reward for the chase except the thrill of the chase itself. We enter deter- mined upon a solitary quest. Our finding shall not be like the discovery of a diamond in the "night grass under a flashlight beam. Rather it shall be like a waking on a beautiful summer morning to find all the world swathed in sunshine. Was there ever a time in his- tory when a man had to stand so lonely in his search for the truth, when a man had to stand as alone as in the bewilderment that surrounds him today? Yes, there were many times. In fact in a measure, every mind, every heart that ever turned to God reached out from the depths of loneliness. In the fourth cen- tury, for example, there lived a man quite as confused as any man who ever lived. His was an age when civilization was crumbling about his ears. The Christian Church was seared by divisions and heresies as for- midable as any prevalent today. MORALITY IN THE HUMAN HEART 21 He was a professional man, with social respect. But he could match escapades with any bon vivant of modern times. Yet, dissatisfied, he searched out the truth; he found the one gate in the wall of confusion and des- pair. His was the one towering intellect in 1200 years of human history. One by one countless individuals have followed the steps of his thought—they too have found the solitary door. His name—Augustine. When he finally escaped from the noisy arena filled with the frenzied gyrations of passion and pride, when he finally emer- ged into the warm clear, sunlight of truth, regretfully did he cry: “Late have I loved Thee, 0 Beauty, so ancient and so new; late have I loved thee!’" , My friends, in this series of addresses I have restricted my- self to refer only to natural re- ligion, to appeal only to the nat- ural morality of men of good will. I have made thus far prac- tically no /reference to that an- cient church to which I am privileged to belong, nor to its Founder, the Saviour of the world. It has not been easy to hold to these self-imposed re- strictions. I have done it in the hope that many others besides my fellow Catholics are listening. Natural religion and natural morality are the common ground upon which all humanity can meet. We have gathered, like St. PauTs audience, around the altar of the unknown God. Oftimes I have felt like an en- gineer extolling the superiority of candlelight over darkness, knowing all the while of the bril- liant flourescent lights illumi- nating the room wherein we are gathered. But in honesty I must add one thought beyond my restriction. Natural religion, natural knowl- edge of God, natural morality, these are better than nothing. But in the generosity of the Father, much more awaits the child whose hands stretch out in prayer. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find ; knock, and it shall be opened to you'' {Matthew 7 :7). THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR (Extract from the add*ress of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the in- augural 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 Broad- casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an- swering 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, exploration, 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 sympathy for all, this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful- filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ, our faith, which we love eveh 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 strerig-th, 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 search- ing and questioninor hearts. 93 CATHOLIC HOUR STATIONS In 39 States, the District of Columbia, and Hawaii Alabama Arizona T.
