The founding fathers did not
prescribe how we were to wor-
ship. But by their every word
and deed they acknowledged God
and established the principle that
the State should never presume
to take to itself the attributes of
absolute power.
Today there seems to be a
tendency In many quarters to
exalt the material above the
spiritual The simple ideals do
not appear to be as sacred as
once they were. Yet those ideals
are at the very roots of cur rights
as free men If we permit these
ideals to be destroyed our free
dom viii leave with them
1T is not by mere chance that
some nations which are governed
by absolute dictators make war
on religion They must destroy
the dignity and importance of
man, and that involves destroy
ing faith in a Divine Provi-
dence."
Mr.. Stettinius, who is an Epis-
copalian, holds that the present
need Is for spiritual leadership
of America in every field Of en-
deavcr.
