 The truth of the matter is that the realities of war have melted away the surface shyness of men about religion; they feel they are up against" ques- tions of life and death; and have heard of more than one censor who has for the first time realized the part religion bears in soldiers life by censoring the innumerable letters home in which the writers ask for the prayers of their re- iations or express their trust in God
