Christian Unity Mast nite All Men In the fight against Communism Throughout history the great religions have been splin- tercd by devisive forces that have weakened them as a great collective moral and spiritual power in world affairs. The pictures on these pages should convince us that the measure of unity necessary for concerted, collective action in the spiritual and moral spheres is not a vain, idle dream. The lrloly Father as the focal point for unity among religious faiths would herald the advent of a new and happier era in manls history. It is not meant that religions are to be melted down and fused into one super-religion, but rather that in retaining their individual identities they are as one in achieving spiritual objectives.

She has kept pace with progress and has always been its champion. This spirit is evidenced in her leaders and particularly in her educational system. The Oblatcs of St. Francis de Sales, a small part of that system, are most conscious of the important part they play in educating youth to live in a world of turmoil. At no time as much as now have the virtues of St. Francis de Sales, our patron, been so needed - gentleness and humility. Today the only way to peace and happiness must be through unity in Christ, Light of the World. Father Buckley in avid conversation with His Holiness, Pope john XXIII.
