to fight the good fight for Christ,
cannot an^tonger remain divided
and disunrWl.”
The President’s anneal for re
ligious unity in a crusade for peace
was made during an address to the
"Washington Pilgrimage of Ameri
can Churchmen at the National
City Christian Church. Mr. Truman
regretted that he so far had been
unable to get religious leaders to
agree to act.
“I am sorry to say that it has not
yet been possible to bring the re
ligious faiths together for this pur
pose of bearing witness that God is
the way of truth and peace,” he
said
“Even the Christian churches
have not yet found themselves able
to say, with one voice, that Christ
is their Master and Redeemer and
the source of their strength against
the hosts of irreligion and the dan
ger of world catastrophe.”
Joseph Short, White House
Press Secretary, explained later
that the President’s efforts con
sisted mainly of talking with “vari
ous and sundry religious leaders”
who came to see him.
Washington ministers, with two
exceptions, said they were unac
quainted with President Truman’s
proposal. The President’s pastor
and a Rabbi said they or persons
close to them had heard Mr. Tru
man advance the idea of a “com
mon affirmation of faith” on sev
eral occasions.
Myron Taylor Aids
At an August press conference
President Truman said that Myron
C. Taylor, his former personal rep
resentative to Pope Pius XJI. was
helping to organize moral forces
in behalf of peace. Mr. Taylor has
paid a number of visits to the
White House since resigning as the
President’s representative on Jan
uary 18, 1950, and made an exten
sive tour of Europe this summer.
In his letter of resignation Mr.
Taylor noted that beginning in 1947
he had consulted with leaders of
“many faiths in many lands.” He
also said talks were conducted with
groups of Protestant and Catholic
leaders in this country.
The Presidential appeal said that
“Today, the whole human enter
prise is in danger.”

“On the one hand, we have to re
sist the expansion of a power that
is hostile to all we believe in,” he
said. “It is a power that denies
the rule of law, the value of the
individual, and belief in God. It
is a power which has become mili
tant and aggressive, using the
weapons of deceit and subversion
as well as military might.
“On the other hand, we must do
all we can to prevent the outbreak
of another world war. Such a war,
using modern instruments of de
struction, would be more terrible
than anything we have ever experi
enced ... It might well shatter our
whole economic and social system,
and plunge mankind back into bar
barism.”
“It is not just this church or
that church which is in danger,”
he stressed. “It is not just this
creed which is threatened. All
churches, all creeds- are menaced.
“The very future of the word of
God—the teaching that has come
down to us from the days of the
prophets and the life of Jesus—is
at stake.”
Religious Heritage
Together with his appeal for
world religious unity in the face
of current perils, the President
called on Americans to live up to
their religious heritage, which he
said “imposes great responsibilities
upon us as we face the problems
of today.”
“We must remember that the
test of our religious principles lies
not only just in what we say, not
only in our prayers, not even in
living blameless personal lives—
but in what we do for others,” he
declared.
“We must work for morality in
public life and in private life,” Mr.
Truman said. “We must stamp out
crime and eliminate corruption.
We must have high standards of
personal conduct.”
The President's audience was
made up of Protestant churchmen
who made a three-day pilgrimage
to religious and national shrines
in the Capital.
“You have come here to empha
size the fact that this nation was
founded on religious principles,”
the Chief Executive told them.
“You will see, as you make your
rounds, that this nation was estab
lished by men who believed in
God. You will see that our Found
ing Fathers believed that God cre
ated this nation. They believed
that God was our strength in time
of peril and the source of all our
blessings.
“If we go back to the Declara
tion of Independence," he contin
ued, “we notice that it was drawn
up by men who believed that God
the Creator had made all men
equal and had given them certain
rights which no man could take
away.”
Since the days of the Constitu
tional convention, the President
declared, “millions of Americans
have believed that the keeping
of our Republic depends upon keep
ing the deep religious convictions
on which it was founded.”

Serving God Called Highest

WASHINGTON (NO Char
acter guidance pamphlets which
say that “the highest knowledge
is to know God” and that “our
standard of morality is the Ten
Commandments” have been pub
lished here by the Departments of
the Army and the Air Force.
First two in a series nf six vol
umes titled “Duty, Honor, Coun
try the pamphlets quote liberally
from the Scriptures and stress that
the United States—far from being
a ‘secular nation”—is a country
which recognizes its dependency on
and responsibility toward God.
A foreword in both volumes ex
plains that they are “to help the
instructor in his orientation and
preparation—whether he be com
mander, chaplain, staff officer,
non-commissioned officer, or mem
ber of a character guidance coun
cil.” For “sound morality must un
derlie all military instruction, for
mal and informal,” the foreword
says.

members There are 15 sisters in
the enclosure, including six postul
ants and four novices. And there
are three out-Sistors, not bound
to the rules of enclosure, who take
care ol the external affairs ol the
monastery.
Despite an extremely full day
that includes Mass, Benediction,
recitation of the lull Divine Office,
spiritual reading, meditation, and
private prayer, the Sisters find
tune for work that helps in some
measure to support the institution.
This includes the making ol altai
breads, the sewing of vestments
and altar linens, and the washing
and ironing of albs and tablecloths
of delicate and intricate design.
But by its very nature a Car
melite monastery must depend
upon alms And Catholics who un
derstand the high spiritual bene
fits that radiate from such a mon
astery consider it a privilege to
help support the Carmelites, thus
sharing in their life of prayer and
sacrifice.

pages, was supervised hy the Army

ters originally were delivered as
lectures at the Chaplain School,

Purpose of service character
guidance and character building
programs, according to the pam
phlets’ foreword, “is to instill into
all the men and women of our
Armed Forces, leaders and led
alike, a sense of individual moral
responsibility.”
“To achieve this purpose, the
character development programs
stress directly and indirectly,
through every available means, the
moral principles that sustain the
philosophy of American freedom,
particularly as it is set forth in
the opening paragraph of the
Declaration of Independence,” the
foreword continues.
“That philosophy regards man as
a creature of God. As such, each
individual in the armed services is
accountable and responsible to his
Creator for the way he performs
his civic and his military duty, for
the maintenance of his own and
the Nation’s honor, and for the
quality of the service he renders
to his country as a member of the
honorable profession of arms.”
The first of the pamphlets warns
that “if we exclude God from our
thinking, we are finished.”
Contrasting U. S. standards of
morality with those of communism,
the second pamphlet says that
those of the U. S. are set forth
primarily in the Moral Law, which
“demands that we love God above
everything and our neighbor as
ourselves."
Three types of nations are classi
fied—secular, such as France de
monic, like the Soviet Union and
covenant, in which category the
U. S. is placed.
A secular nation “officially elim
inates God from all official con
nection with its public life," ac
cording to the pamphlet. “Its su
preme loyalty, as a nation, is not
to God but to some patriotic or
nationalistic idea.”
“A demonic nation puts the gov
ernment or ruler in place of
God." it continues. “The word ‘de
monic’ conies from the ‘demon,’
which is another word for devil.
“A ‘covenant nation’ is one
which recognizes its dependence
upon Gori and its responsibility
toward God. In a ‘covenant nation’
public institutions and official
thinking reflect a faith in the ex
istence and the importance of di
vine providence.”
“It is not difficult to demonstrate
that America officially recognizes
its dependence on God.” the
pamphlet says. “Every Thanksgiv
ing Day, for example, the Presi
dent of the United States calls up
on the citizens of this country to
repair to their respective houses of
worship in order to give thanks to
Almighty God for the blessings of
the year just passed and to implore
Him for His protection and bene
diction in the year to come.
“The sessions of our Congress
are opened with prayer. That gives
public recognition to God of a kind
which you would not find in a sec
ular nation or in a demonic nation.
Our public officials take their
oaths of office, normally, by plac
ing their right hand on a Bible
Throughout our history we have
had this public acknowledgment
of our interest in and responsibili
ties toward God
Elsewhere in the pamphlets a
tribute is paid to Charles Carroll
of Carrolltown. Catholic signer of
the Declaration of Independence,
and to religious missionaries in the
Pacific.

the corporal works of mercy."
He cited various instances of the
council’s work in this type of par
ish. Homes of the needy were vis
ited, instructions were arranged
for those interested in the Church
and for lapsed Catholics brought
back to the practice of their faith.
The other parish council presi
dent. John E. Igoe of St. Agatha's,
Columbus, explained that the so
ciety has much work to do even
where there are no needy families
The work of the council in such a
parish, he said, was chiefly to help
the pastor in the work of visiting
his parishioners, in visiting the
sick, and in interesting both Cath
olics and non Catholics in the par
isl church.
Principal speaker at the meeting
was Richard Willmes, president of
the Particular Council of the so
ciety in Covington Ky. He drew
on his 20 years’ experience in the
organization to show how each of
the spiritual and corporal works
oi mercy, which are the society's
guiding principles, can be exercis
ed in the operation of the councils.
He stressed the institutional
work of the society, including the
visiting of hospitals, and rest
homes, and jails.
For those who “teel embarrass
ed or say they have no ability for
this type of work” he spoke
words of encouragement They
need have no fear of praying or
preaching in a public institution,
he said The very fact that they
visited someone there was the
best of all sermons, he explained.
Pontifical Benediction in the
seminary chapel brought the meet
ing to a close.
