C0mmAND0S RAJ SUB BASE
Religiion--the Origin
Of Our Liberties

Ut Our Liberties
Mr. J. EDGAR HOOVER, director Of the Fed
A'A eral Bureau of Investigation, delivered an
inspired and inspiring address on a recent radio
program in New York City sponsored by the
Knights of Columbus.
Mr. Hoover said there is something bigger
and stronger behind America in this war than the
mere preservation of what we have, important as
those things may be.
He said that America is, Of course, "a nation
of vast industries, Of great educational systems,
of splendid social institutions of millions of homes
of ever-expanding armed forces, and of privileges
and rights of its citizens" all of which, and in
fntey more, are very much worth preserving and
fighting for.
But the something bigger and stronger" be-
bind America, as Mr.. Hoover recalls, was an in
fluence and power in this land before many of
these important things were won or even existed.
1t was the something" which, as Mr.. Hoover
so we'll says, "actuated the founding fathers" of
America in their striving for the things now
hold so important and which it is our duty to
cherish and protect
LIE SAID it was DIVINE FORCE which was
IL behind the liberty of America" in the begin
ming and ever after.
"No thinking person can deny" he asserted,
that the democracy of the United States has been
inspired guided and nurtured from on high.
"The spirit of America is God given And we,
the living in these tragic days must show our
wOrthnesS of this divine inheritance by our deeds
and actions.
"Our own country has been won and preserved
through prayer and toll and hardship, and we must
defend it at any cost
Mr.. Hoover is not the first to believe God
WANTED America to be a land Of human liberty,
and Americans to be free.
Our colonial forefathers believed it most
earnestly.
When they undertook to proclaim their in
dependence they did so with firm reliance on
the PROTECTION of divine providence"
They wrote into their declaration the convic-
ton that Americans, in aspiring to be free, were
seeking "the separate and equal station to which
the laws -of nature and of natures God <---sitle
them .-<ee6.'
In order to perpetuate what they conceived
to he the essential bond between Americans and
freedom, they included provision in the Con-
stitution that no law should ever be enacted ere
speeding establishment of religion, or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof"
John Adams said the day of the American
Declaration of independence Ought to be COM
memorated as the day of deliverance by solemn
acts of devotion to God Almighty"
THOMAS JEFFERSON said that "the God who
gave us life gave us liberty at the same time"

In nearly all cases, it was re-

required license had been pur-
chased. On the additional ma

To thwart similar practice the
