Religious Tolersnce

During the next three months a Protes-
tant minister. Catholic priest, and a Jewish
rabbi will tour the United States together.
to preside in 81 cities at INSTRUMENTATION
discussions of religious tolerance. Nothing
has happened in this country recently to in
dictate that any revival Of religious intoler-
anee is to be feared. But it has had fear
full flare-up across the ocean, and of all men
aces to the peace of mankind it is one of the
most contagious.
This tour can be looked on as kind of
vaccination, and it can be made an exceed
ingly valuable thing. Full religious toler-
ance is one of those blessings whose true
worth usually is not appreciated until they
disappear. 1t is comparatively new thing
in the world. Its roots have not sunk as
deeply into the substratum of civilized society
as might be wished. If it is to be preserved,
we must be eternally vigilant.
We need to realize, too, that it is one of
the essential ingredients in the democracy
which we cherish. As the first nation to
make 60 of democracy, we have an espe-
cial reason for defending it. Democracy is
more than just the abolition of autocratic
government. In its broad sense, it is
scheme of society under which each individ-
ual is permitted to live his own life as he
sees fit. He not only has his vote. and his
free and unchallenged choice of occupation;
he has the right to worship as he pleases,
and to do it without suffering the slightest
discrimination, in any form. because of it.
Any infringement on this right is denial
of the very essence of democracy A de-
mocracy must have full religious tolerance,
because of the simple fact that the moment
il ceases to do so it ceases to be a, democracy.
All Americans who think their democracy
worth preserving automatically must be
defenders of religious tolerance. All this is
worth repeating these days. even though
there is no sign that revival of intolerance
threatens us. Unbridled intolerance is aflame
beyond che sea. There is in America, I'M
fortunately. enough ignorance and prejudice
to provide feeding ground for it if embers
should fly our way. BY re-examining the
question now. and reaffirming our determine
. tion mot to let intolerance get foothold, we
san strengthen the foundations of our free
society.

On All Souls Night the dead return,
They pass the boundaries of their bourne,
They hurry back In anxious fight,
Seeking our guiding candlelight,
Wishing again earth's ways to learn
Their shadowy forms our eyes discern,
Alas; our overtures they spurn,
We are as nothing In their sight,
On All Souls Night.
The bonds of death are strict and stern,
No recognizing glance we earn,
Though we keep watch with hearts that yearn

Acauaint us with their spirit plight,
