 That Feuhrer Aspires to Be Anti=C Christ

emy the like of this. And yet we in America sat by for years and did not lift a finger against him. In- deed, it was not we. who declared war against Anti-C Christ. It was Anti-Christ who declared war against us.
 Please understand me. I am not referring to that sad argument that divided this country between the So- called isolationists and the so-called interventionists. happen to believe that the isolationists were wrong. But I say to you that the interven- tionistS, among whom I was num- bered, were hypocritcs. For what did these interventionists advocate? Did they say, This is Anti Christ? Did they say; We must now do bat tie against evil? Did they assert that this was challenge that every Christian man and woman must meet-must if necessary die to meet? Few-very few-said that. F'ew-very few-would go so far. What did most of the intervention ists say? They said that we must help Britain. They said that Brit ain could fight this battle for us. Britain-little England!-would lay down her life so that Americans might enjoy what they chose to call freedom. That was the great, noble, inspiring doctrine preached by these interventionists! No, my fellow Americans, isolationists and interventionistS alike, most of us were seeking to escape. Those two great arguments were just two diff ferent ways of escaping the same thing. Some of us thought that isolation" was the most plausible way out. But both sides were in fact seeking A WAY OUT. Virtually no one was seeking the way in. But that was what Christ sought in Gethsemane. That is the mean ing of GethSemane-the finding ot the way in, and the choosing of the way in. And that is what we have neither found nor chosen.
 Brotherhood Not Remote
 The cynics will say that this ideal of human brotherhood is imposSibly remote. But I say that 1t is not re- mote-indeed, comparatively, 1t has been achieved. The vehicle by which 1t has been achieved-I mean po- litically and practically-is g state of being which we call freedom For freedom did not just happen Freedom, as we know 1t, has its origin precisely in those Christian doctrines that Hitler is attempting to subvert. We cannot undertake | a full discussion of this fact this evening, but surely you cannot doubt it. The doctrine of immortality, oi the indestructibility of the human soul, is the basis of freedom. IL is the basis of equality. It Is the basis of the great principles upon which our forefathers built this nation.
 And so I say. blessed are those who stood up In the cold dawn to be executed because they believed in freedom.
 And blessed are the women whC have given their men, and followed them in their hearts, SO that otheI men can Do free.
 And blessed arc those WHO nAVl been bombed and shelled and tor turned and desecrated, in the Iiams of freedom.
 And blessed are those who have taken up arms that their brotheri may live. a.
 Now we can speak out. Now V, can declare lt and stand up and eel counted for it.
 We say lhet one mans freedom Is another mans freedom. We sa, that fEee6es h>Hs s' s~eseern q
