Cltapl|ifti Aetintiy ' Pause, if you will, you who must fashion the futuic-pause and look again in your minds ' eye- hack adoss the length and hieadth and timclessncss ot this greatest of inland seas; to Mare Nost- riun, whiih has hut recently been your six-montli home and habitation. In the lands to the east and south of this inhind sea, recorded history tells us man made his first impact upon the planet Earth. Here our religious laitli and heritage took on new me.uung. In this Hasin the ancient Hebrew prophets led their people to a new vision and understand- ing ot the nature of Cxod. This was the seaway over which jomiKved the phalanxes of Alexander, stalking f:, ) ' ? and destiny, giving to the Aferf terra?(r(i;( iror i . its only common tongue, Cireh. which Ijccame the language of Peter and Paul. Here all of us, Protest, ml . Cdtholir and Jeiu, found common groimd in the beginnings of our faith. Hoc our diversity ol worship lound new expression as in our Present we sought our God of the Kutine as did our spiritual forebears in the Past. This was the blue highway across which roamed the Iickks who sought .nid lound ilie treas- ures of Saiiunkinid and the Hind; of the Nile and li -inili inn : ol Cele ,incl Cnldiieini. Hcic loved the mariners of Sliali and Snllan; King and Caliph: Emperor and Doge. Scarcely a league of this sea but has seen its moment of glory and despair, honor and shame; scarcely a league but whose battle-la.shed currents have left their watermark on the pages of history. But there is a paradox too. Here, also, traveled Peter and Paiil-ihc vanguard of a great host to follow -.1 host who man bed not with .sword and sail bm in the (ompaiiv ol the Spnil of llie .Man jioin Sa ' jiielli. who captured the hearts of men with a more enduring Power. Your acts and expressions of worship pictured in these pages-your deeds of kindness to the homeless and helpless who cros,sed our path-Are voin- eyes yet clouded, or does your vision pierce the ha e? Can you see, ])erhaps. . .
