q k4flY32 ton and its allies, which they serve and to the flag for the honor of which they are making this great Sacrlnce ls While we are seeking to crush the military power of the enemy. may we demean OuresleveS on the battleheld and in the affairs of state that the na- | tions we would overcome may find something of inspiration and uplift in our sense of honor, in our standards of | justice. and in our generous treatment l of fallen foe. It is not because the American flag stands for more of jus tice and honor and righteousness than | is represented by any other national emblem that most of the great nations 1 of earth are now looking to it for suc- | cor and deliverance?
 So while as a Christian nation we are engaged in the most awful conflict | of history, may we keep in mind that we are fighting for the worlds per manent peace. As we bid you God speed we breathe a prayer that His :, spirit may brood over you and pro- l tect you on the battlefelds of Europe and return you triumphantly and safely to the arms of loved ones; but l post of duty, with face to the foe and that your sacrifice may be for the worlds uplift.
 1 As you follow the stars on their field of blue may you by faith behold the Star of Bethlehem. And when Old Glory and the flags of our Allies shall float victoriouSly over every battlefield and over the capitals of all the na- tions at war. may we behold the ban ner of the Prince of Peace unfurled, above them.
 With what more fitting words could close this address than that inspiring
 stanza of Cardinal O'Connell,
 Lift high the Cross unfIrl the flag, Forever may they stand
 United in our hearts and hopes, God and our native land"
