And there were in the same country shep-
herds abiding in the field, keeping watch
over their flock by night. And, 10, the angel
of the Lord came upon them, and the glory
of the Lord shone round about them: and
they were sore afraid. And the angel said
unto them, Fear not: for, behold, bring
you. good tidings of great Joy, which shall be
to all people, For unto you is born this day
in the city of David a Saviour, which is
Christ the Lord. And this shall be sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped
in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel
multitude of the heavenly host praising God,
and saying, Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came TO pass, as the angels were gone
away from them into heaven, the shepherds
said one TO another, Let us now go even
unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath made
known unto us. And they came with haste,
and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe
lying in a manger And when they had seen
it, they made known abroad the saying
which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at
those things which were told them by the
shepherds But Mary kept all these things,
and pondered them in her heart,

world history, our faithfulness

States, is challenged in this
election.
Finally, then, let us recall that
our basic faith in liberty of
conscience has an ancient an
cestry. We can trace it back
through Christian Europe, and
through Pagan Rome, back to
the Old Testament prophets. It
is by no means exclusive with
us. 1t is in fact our bond of
unity with all free men. But
we are its ordained guardians

Says We Must Make
Faith q Part of Us

American power is not just
coal and iron and oil; cotton
and wheat and corn. It is not
just our forests and our noun
tain ranges. and the huge me-
andering rivers of our central
plains. and the high and dry
cattle country, and this lucky
land of yours between the
mountains and the ocean. It is
not even all these things plus
160 million people. It is these
things, plus the people. plus the
idea! For again, "despotism
may govern without a faith,
but liberty cannot"
So the second temptation of
the cold frustrating war-which
we also proudly rejects to be-.
come so distracted by our trou-
bles that we take this faith too
much for granted, that we salute
it (as some of us salute our
religion), and then go our own
way unchanged. If we do not
make it part of us-keep it for
ever before us, intense and de-
manding and clear-the faith
might die and we should then
die with it.
What is this American idea"
which we so justly venerate? I
suggest that the heart of it is
the simple but challenging
statement? That no Govern
ment may interfere with our
conscience. may tell us what to
think. All our freedoms, all our
dynamic unleashed energies,
stem from this.
We. Americans, just naturally
talk like this: mo government
can tell me what to think. No

ment entrusted to the hands of
the American people"
At that time we had less than
4 million inhabitants. But
there was no doubt, no fear. in
WaShington'S mind regarding
our destiny.
In 1853 Abraham Lincoln
said: "Our reliance is in the
love Of liberty which God has
planted in us. Our defense is
in the spirit which priced lib
erty as the heritage of all men.
in all lands everywhere"
g. At that time there were about
80 million Americans. And we
were threatened with civil war.
But there was no doubt, no fear,
in Lncoln's mind. He saw the
war and the dissolution Of the
Union as a threat to the new,
revolutionary idea Of the free
man and to democratic aspira-
tions everywhere. y
In 1915 Woodrow Wilson said:
"The interesting and inspiring
thought about America is that
she asks nothing for herself ex-
cept what she has a right to ask
for humanity ITSELF"
BY that time we were a world
power, about to enter into q
World War. But there was no
doubt. no fear, in Woodrow
Wilson's mind. He knew, as in
truth we have always known,
that we were destined to be an
example and to assume the bur-
den of greatness.
So we are marked men, we
Americans. at the mid-century
point. We have been tapped
by fate-for which we should
forever give thanks, not Ia
ments. What a day to live in!
What a Towering of the work
and the faith of our fathers!
Who in Heavens name would
want America less strong, less
responsible for the future?
Isn't this what we have always
dreamed? To whom else would
we choose to hand the torch Of
the free world?
And precisely because we are
tapped by fate, we must be wise
and patient as well as rich and
strong. This means that we
must live. intensely live. the
faith which has made us free
and thereby invincible. Des-
potism may govern without
faith, but liberty cannot"

Text of Stevenson Speech

government can tell me what to
do. unless it can prove that the
common good is served by such
interference" This is the Ameri-
can way of living.
But government, keeping its
hand most carefully away from
that forbidden field, may and
indeed must play its part in
our steady national effort to
promote welfare and to diminish
hardship. Our government, we.
Democrats. have always insisted,
is a friendly. helpful force, to
serve and to keep order, never
to dominate. never to usurp our
private lives. as
Yet the same Republicans
(the dinosaur-Wing of that
party) who object to service
from our government-who cali
everything creeping socialism,"
who talk darkly of dictator
ship"-these same men begin to
hint that we are "Subversive,"
or at best the tools of our coun-
try's enemies, when we boast of
the great strides toward social
justice and security we have al
ready made, and of. the still
greater strides we plan. They
laugh at us. superciliously, when
we say we are the political party
with a heart.
To honor and uphold our
faith. therefore, we must never
let them confuse us about the
difference between what Gov
ernment should do if possible.
and what it must never do If
America is to survive.
It should strengthen us in
our freedom by fostering as
much widespread ownership and
economic independence as pos
sible. In the towns and counties,
in the State capitals and in
Washington, that great work
goes forward today.
But never must Government
step across the line which sep
arates the promotion of Justice
and prosperity from the inter-
ference with thought, with
conscience, with the sacred pri-
vate life of the mind.
If you like. this is the distine-
ton between the things that are
Gods and the things that are
Caesars. The mind is the ex-
presesion of the soul. which be-
longs to God and must be let
alone by Government. But farm
prices, minimum wages, old-age
pensions. the regulation of
monopoly, the physical safety
of Society-these things are
Caesars province, wherein the
Government should do all that
is humanity possible.
