we Qfincwa! XSXZQHLLZS AND HATH NOT CHARITY O, come to me all ye who labor and are heavy-laden . . . U WITH D-day approaching and the con sciousness of your debt to the men in our country's service, to all men in Humanityls service, increasing, we must re-examine what we owe in order that we may know how we should repay. For our debt is such that no common coin can ever discharge it. The blood of our sons, the pain of our mothers, the sorrow of our friends, the suffering of children, poured out in floods to save our world, to make for us a better world, can be repaid only in kind, or in the hard, bright coin of Truth. This is no easy debt to be expunged by tendering the hollow counter- feit of lip service. This is no sham sacrifice to be acknowledged in the paper of hypocrisy. When a man dies for freedom, then we must live for freedom, must live that all men may be free. When a mother in the agony of fear seeks to guard her children and dies, we must take her orphans, all suffering mankind, and create for them a home. When the turmoil and the strife are stilled, we must be able to see through the mists of hurt and hate, God's sun of brotherly love. All men are brothers. Now in the awful compulsion of killing, fear blinds us to that. We must kill fear. It is against fear and prejudice and greed and injustice that we fight--and must continue fighting. Men are our enemies only when these passions blind them. When the last echoes of this present conflict are fading into oblivion to which we cannot too soon consign them, we must remember Lincoln's noble words: With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on -- Let us strive on. During the Battle of Britain, Winston Churchill said of the R. A, F. Never have so many owed so much to so few! And we now owe so much to so many! The debt is imme-asurable. The blood and treasure given to us so unstintingly out of such boundless charity calls to us for an equal charity in our hearts. We must not fail. We dare not, else the slaughter comes again. Thomas Carlyle wrote about a century ago these Words: Nothing that was worthy in the past departs, no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die, but is all here, and, recognized or not, lives and works through endless changes. What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? EDGAR J. MONGAN Page 5
