ran By H. I. Phillips Rahhi Luuis W erf el, knuun us ' The Flying Rahbi ' iras killed in an airplane crash in Algeria, un his u ' ay to resume duties as a chaplain uith the armed forces. Neirs item. THE CHAPLAIN ' S CORPS The Flying Rabbi! Little was he known To those of us who fight the war by ear, Yet, dead, he serves again to prove so false The bigots ' ways, wherever they appear; Dead, speeding to the side of Jewish boys. He kept the faith with all the fighting breed Enshrining high again this gallant crew — The Chaplains ' Corps, of every faith and creed. II. As Christian padres serve on farflung fronts And bring the boys the strength that passeth all So did this rabbi and those of his faith Go through the muck and torture to the call; There is no Jew, no Gentile in that time When bugles blow and duty points the way. And, knowing this, the chaplains do their stuff As they would do it on the Judgment Day. III. The Catholic, the Protestant, the Jew, As one they give the all sustaining grace To those who die to keep our way of life. Without regard to color, faith or race; Theirs is the symbol of a nation strong The force that makes a country ' s shield so bright: The Chaplains ' Corps of gallant, quiet men. Who blaze away with the Eternal Light. IV. The priest who puts the wafer on dry lips, The rector leading tired men in prayer — The rabbi with the word of Abraham — Each doing quietly his holy share . . . These are the men who ease the weary path, Who soothe the heart and heal the harassed soul — Who keep the vision of the boyhood day, Preserving things learned at a mother ' s knee. V. The Roman collar and the vestments of The Protestant and Rabbi seem as one When all is stripped of shallowness and dross. And only solemn duty ' s to be done; So out there on a thousand battlefields The soldiers shout with one hot breath, You lie! To lesser souls in comfort ' s easy lap Who walk the slimy path of bigotry. [Reprinted from the New York Sun, Jan. 12, 1944.]
