thinking that is going on about
the issues of the war and about
the kind of peace which will
justify the huge cost of the war,
in tax burdens, family dislocations
and the expenditure of life itself.
We came to point up a vision
of the future which might give
substance to the ideals of reli-
gion as proclaimed by the great
teachers of all the great religions.
Our very appearance together
as Protestant, Catholic and Jew
was more significant than any-
thing anyone of us might have
said. Our standing together on
the sante platform was itself an
earnest of victory for brother-
hood, which was our main theme
Yet we appealed to the men of
various religious denominations to
be true each to his own religious
heritage, to worship at his own
altar, to confide most each in his
own chaplain. At the same time
we pointed out how each religious
tradition, properly understood and
followed, Protestantism, Catholi-
cism, Judaism, inspires its adher-
ent to American loyalty and helps
bins to cultivate those traits of
character which are indestructible
assets in, war as in peace. And
we drew from our respective reli-
gious sources those moral impe•-
tives which charge us as one na-
tion indivisible, and that spiritual
outlook which looks toward a
world society one and indivisible.
In a word, we tried to interpret
America to these young Ameri-
cans in the light of broad spiri-
tual truth.
We were, of course, interested
in seeing how the chaplains func-
tion. They are much more than
religious functionaries. They arc
spiritual advisers to the men in
a very vital sense. Dignified with-
out being unctuous, comradely
without being cheap, they place
themselves unstintingly at the
disposal of the men not only of
their own denomination but of
all denominations. Many a per-
sonal problem comes to the chap-
lain first. Many an adjustment
problem they help to solve. Often
they are called upon to give such
fatherly counsel as the young
men would expect to receive from
their own fathers at home. Boys
who back home had been accus-
tomed to shy away from formal
religion and front clergymen,
come to feel a new respect for
religion and a genuine regard
for the representatives of reli-
gion. These men, when they conic
back to civilian life after the
war, will never again think of
religion as something aloof, or of
priests, or ministers and rabbis
as "holier than thou".
Because of the comradeship
among the chaplains themselves
which runs across sectarian lines,
the Protestant, Catholic and Jew-
