Dig a problem Tor man. 100 MuCu- VI Hu-
man mind. Helpless as we are, let us sur
render our ways to Gods wisdom, justice,
and mercy.
Mans failure in this respect is in reality
his greatest success. | am not detracting
from the ability and reputation of the
great statesmen of our age, or censuring
their brilliant talents. / am simply saying
that we are in one valley and peace in an
other. To call a place Cape Cod does not
necessarily follow that we are going to
catch cod, especially if there is no cod
there. No peace by worldly efforts! "Not
by power nor by power nor strength, but
by my spirit, saith he Lord" The Atlantic
Charter with it's a or 40 freedoms, plus the
atomic energy thrown in for good measure,
together with all treaties and concordats.
will be no more that "scrap of paper" if
God is not in the hearts of men. William
Penn's Treaty with the Indians was the on
ly treaty without an oath, as some one has
said, and is the only treaty that was never
broken-just because God was in it.
In addressing America, I would humbly
say that this nation is by the grace of God
the daughter of the Gospel or riconcilia>
ton, creator of this admirable civilization.
Be loyal to it's principles of freedom, equa>
lily, and brotherhood! We must accord e.
quail rights to all elements and ~nationalities
within our borders-colored, colorless, or
discolored What's the use of recommen-
ding the planting of olivetrees abroad, be-
fore we make it a sure success at home?
We may soon be living in unbreakable
glass>house, but if we make them opaque,
SO as not to show, they cease to be glass.
May we ask God to make us what our adj
mirers say we are. America is the last bat
tle-ground of global progress; let us not
fail our human race! Francis Scott Key
was a prophet when he sang of "the land
of the free and the home of the brave"
That is also a prophetic description of hea-
ven itself. No slaves there; no towards
there! Christ is risen in might and power
for courage and freedom here and hereaf'
ter.
And finally, in ADDRESSING the Church,
l would say in the name of the risen Lord:
Be loyal to the Faith once for all given
to the saints" "Christ and Him crucified."
There is 10 other Gospel! Let heaven and
earth hear it! There is no other Gospel!
This is the only index pointing to the one
and only redeeming LORD whose righteous
ness is the only diet of our national life;
whose love is the only nourishment for in
ternational life; and whose purity is the
only food for the life of the individual.
nal Righteousness before we lave indivi-
dual integrity. The ethical statement
Righteousness exalteth a nation" will al
ways be unintellibible until we capture the
secret of this other statement: GAS a man
thinketh in his hearth, so is he" It is then
that we can hear and heed our Fathers
plea: "My son give me thy heart;'' and
exclaim with the penitent songster of old:
"Create in me a clean heart, o God; and
renew a right spirit within me-"
This is the only weapon by which the
statesmen of the world shall blaze the way
for peace, being attracted upward by the
divine Magnate who said "And I, if / be
lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me-" And that is the power Of His
Resurrection
