LINES TO A DEPARTED PRESIDENT By REVEREND TIMOTHY J. MULVEY, o. M. 1. Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Born: January 30, 1882 Inaugurated: March 3, 1933 Re-elected: 1936, 1940, 1944 Died: April 12, 1945 Dear Mr. President: It is, indeed, strange that we, who never had the privilege of speaking to you face to face in this life, should address you, directly now. For while it is the high intent that a Chief Exec- utive should be intimate with the citi- zenry, it is the unfortunate necessity that he should be removed from the citizens. We are not removed from you, now, Mr. President. When your heart stop- ped beatingg when you relaxed to that level which is the inevitable inheri- tance of pauper and prince, peasant and president-- in that sad and historic moment, you were a child once again, stricken to that helplessness which is the sign of our mutual frailty, and the badge of our common humanity. So, you are dead. But, we can speak to you, now.
