WYMAN 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- See INTERFAITH—Page 6 Happy New Year To All!
