in themselves. They are but means
to nobler character and higher life.
unless that motive is provided from
some other source. these activities in
evitably lead back to the conclusion
that the end iustifies the means and
that might makes right. We are not
seeking an increased material welfare
that leads to materialism we are seek
ing an increased devotion to duty that
leads to spiritual life. Such an effort
would be in vain unless our Nation as
whole continued in its devotion to
religion.
1--WE cannot remind ourselves too
often that our right to be free, the
support of our principles of justice, our
obligations to each other in our do
nestle affairs and our duty to humanity
abroad, the confidence in each other
necessary to support our social and eco
non1ic relations, and finally the fabric
of our Government itself, all rest on
religion It's Importance cannot be
stressed too often or emphasized too
much
IF the bonds of our religious con-
victions become l0osened the guaran-
tees which have been erected for the
protection of life and liberty and all
the vast body of rights that lie between
are gone. The debt which this country
owes to the men and women down
through the ages who have been teach
ing and are teaching today the cause
of Righteousness is beyond all estima-
ton. So long as the great body of our
people continue to be inspired by their
example and to be faithful to their
precepts our institutions will remain
secure and our civilization will con-
tinue in its increase of material and
sniritIIaI welfare"

pound bird that failed to fly slid
from a runway at the Hampton Roads
Naval Air Station at noon yesterday in
quest of endurance and distance honors
among naval seaplanes. Piloted by
Lieuts. c. H. Schildauer and B. E. Grow,

finding, after getting out into Hampton
Roads that the motors needed further
adjusting before attempting flight
that would have required 35 or more
hours.
