HA mighty fortress 1S our God, A bulwark never-failing, Our helper,he, amidst the flood Of mortal ills prevailing.' For today, all over the face of this blood-stained earth, right this very minute, men and boys of all nationalities are fighting for God and country. It only stands to reason that the soldier who is best equipped will have the best chance of surviving this global inferno. That is the task of our religious institu- tions inAmerica and ofour religious education classes inOceanside. In particular: to equip our men and boys for the struggle- not to equip them with the weapons of war, the guns, thebullets, thebayonets, the man-made devices which cripple and maim men's bodies, but to equip them with the inspirational weapons of peace, the devotion to right, the pureness of heart, the realization of the inner presence of God. In aworld of war, religious education isas essential to the true and final victory as the war on the battle fronts. For, upon the proper physical and spiritual devel- opment of American youth today, will depend not only the character and stability of American citizens tomorrow, but also the efficiency and strength of our priceless democracy in trying years to come. The voices ofthe onehundred twenty sixthousand Americans killedin thelast terrible conflict cry out toour spiritual leaders tosecure the peace tomorrow by bringing our youth closer to God today. Our men of God cannot, must not, will not fail. HDid we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be Losing, Were not the right man on our szde, The man of God's own choosing.H ST. ANTHONY'S ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH OCEANSIDE METHODIST CHURCH Q. Q ,L .e. i N.. N l 22
