He was an oak that, in a wilder
ness,
Sends forth its roots into the
stubborn clay
And forces the reluctant earth
to yield
Sufficient sustenance to give it
girth
And altitude. He grew until his
boughs,
Tho twisted and amorphous, were
as strong
As cords of iron, and the height
of him
Cleaved the rare ether, towering
above
His neighbors as a mountain puts
to shame
A lowly hill,
He was thunderbolt
Hurled from the mighty hand of
Joye; and cut
A soaring path athwart the sky
of time,
Burning to crisp ethnic hypocrisy,
And scOrching with excruciating
wounds
Those treading the highwy of
prejudice
And bigotry; and lighting as he
sped
The way of truth and courage
with. splendor
So dazzling that the myriads who
beheld
Knew not what they beheld until
he passed;
And then, as if awakening from
dream,
Blinking and yswning, they ex-
claimed in chorus,
Behold it was the way of truth"
He came
Amounted as a prophet to his own.
And some received him not, and
some said, "Fool~

But he in turn replied, "Your

AN ARGUMENT FOR UNION
CThe Catholic Transcript)

C1ne CaGlOIlc ITaIlScrlpC)
 The interest of most people today is centered on economic problems and social conflicts. Yet the civiliza- tion which gives rise to those prob lens and conflicts, our civilization with great numbers of its popula- tion and its vast factories concen- trated in huge cities, offers an easy target for the atomic bomb if it is ever let loose on the world. Man kind will not be wiped out by the impact. But his machine made cul- ture cannot stand up against a weapon which strikes at its very heart. Civilization, as we know it, can very easily perish in the mons -trouS destruction wrought by atomic bombs. Something else, of course, will take its place. some thing perhaps better for this in- secure uneasy and apprehensive world. But nobody really looks for ward with pleasure to the terrible destruction which will inaugurate the change.
 How can the end of our world be avoided? By means which will either ban the making of atomic bombs or preclude their use. That they will be confined to individual nations is also certain. The sole chance for humanity, as far as we can see, lies in a world union which will forever ban the use of the bomb. The be- ginning of the union, however un- certain and tentative, has been made by the United Nations Organ ization. If no other argument for the earnest promotion of the or ganization existed than the atomic bomb, that would be decisive.
