THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY 1945 THE PRESIDE CLOYD HECK MARVIN War and Faith This Is a time for faith in life. Each one of us has heard the cry, If I could understand the malignancy called war, I might have faith, I cannot see where we are going, and hence I cannot have faith. 1 This is false reasoning. Faith is the evidence of things unseen. Even though you do not under- stand the blooming of the rose, you accept the flower. Tennyson wrote; 11 If I could understand What you are t root and all, and all in all, I should know what Sod and man is, 1 The vandalism of the storm or the destruction of war is no more reason for the loss of faith than the phenomenon of the bursting bud. We under- stand little of either. So let us not be confused. If we believe in our fellow men, we shall be triumphant, for the over- tones of the high beating, ever yearning, human heart shall overcome the screaming shell and put down the bludgeonings of war.
