To all of you who are making to-
nights celebrations such a success,
I want to say-very simply-thank
you. .-
In the midst of world tragedy
in the midst Of sorrow. suffering,
destruction and death-it Is natural
for most of us to say even on a
birthday or feast day: isn't the
word happy a bit out of place
just now?"
That was perhaps my own pre-
dominant thought this morning.
Yet the day itself and the evening
have brought with them a great
reinsurance which comes from the
deep knowledge that most Of this
world is still ruled by the spirit OF
Faith, and Hope, and Charity.
Even in time of war those nations
which still hold to the old ideals
Of Christianity and democracy are
carrying on services to humanity
which have little or no relationship
to torpedoeS or guns or bombs. That
means very definitely that we have
an abiding faith in the future-a
definite expectancy that we are
going to win through to a peace
which will bring with it continuing
progress and substantial success in
our efforts for the security and not
for the destruction of humanity.
A Puzzle for Enemies.
Our enemies must at this moment
be wondering-if they are permitted
to know what goes on-how we are
finding the time during the grim
business of war to work fork the
cause of little children. For, Under
the enemies kind of government.
there is no time for or interest in
such things-no time for ideals; no
time for decency: no interest in the
weak and the afflicted to whom we
in this country have dedicated this
day.
The United Nations of the world
continue, however, to put these
things on a very different basis. We
support our tasks of humanity in
time of war, as in time Of peace,
through the same old system Of
