President Puts Stres,
On Spiritual Values,
Pilgrimage Is Told

President Eisenhower has en-
phasized the spiritual values of
life in his approach ITO all the
great problems that face Amer
lea and the world" Secretary of
the Interior Mckay declared to-
day.
Speaking to members of the
Washington Pilgrimage at Lin
coin Memorial, the cabinet officer
asserted, 1.-THE President views as
one Of his most crucial tasks the
revival of our faith in religious
values and conduct.
"I' recall when the members
of the cabinet first met with him
in a pre-inaugural conference, he
asked Secretary (of Agricultural
Benson to lead us all in prayer,
since, the President declared, the
task ahead was too big to under
take without the help of Al
mighty God"
NAtCS AuECAt ~ N6tlUAs
The Secretary told the gather
ing the pilgrimage was timely
because sit comes at a period
when our traditional way of life,
our most cherished institutions,
and indeed our Nation itself.
are threatened by strong and
seemingly implacable forces.
"At such times, there is often
a tendency to feel that ours is
truly the most critical era of
our national history. We often
lose sight of the hard historical
fact that our Nation was born
of great crisis, faced and sur
mounted innumerable critical
periods. and in so doing has
grown in national strength and
character"
The pilgrimage, held annually
since 1851, emphasizes the
religious heritage of our country.
Those taking part visit national
shrines and other historic build
ings in Washington, and study
the religious contributions to
them made by great Americans
during the years.
