THE SPIRIT OF D-DAY
Br tom GILLESPIE, Detroit, Mick.
__mo, father* and mother* are anxiously
fally, fearfully, proudly—not knowing what the next hour*
will bring. D-Day has brought new hope of liberation to millions in Europe,
yet to others it has brought anxiety and lonely hearts.
D-Day began the decisive toot of anas. How men and nations receive
the news coming from the beaches and towns of Europe will be the decisive
toot of faiths. For this is a war of faiths as welt as a war of arms. Wo
will and the strength of spirit inside ourselves that will carry the nation
forward to greater and greater effort, no matter how hard the blows fall on
laTti^^arsolw^ting the stark realities of Kfe and death tear down
man-made barriers of money, class and race. Men who have of
ia bitter industrial battles, stand silent, strangely united by their
for aadurstsiattni for peace of mind, for the answer to stan
of anxiety while their sons and husband* face da
gods of materialism and the false ideologies that i

"What Is the imaaediate problem that hundreds and thousands of moth
ora and wives are facing today?** asked Daphne du Maarier, author of “Re
becca,” as she tells in her book “Come Wind Come Weather” how the work
of Moral Re-Armament brought new faith and courage to thousands during
the bUta ia Britain. “It is now they themselves are to endure the strain
face danger every hour.” The
men have bowed to have
_ ition. They are cold and
empty, heartless and inhuman, merciless and cynical.
EQUIPMENT FOR VICTORY
Oar fathers looked to ode God for strength and direction—and built
Aamrica. Today wo need their faith, not only to liberate Europe, but to
free hearts and minds from the paralysis of anxiety, fear and loneliness, and
release the energies of all our people for the greatest effort of all time. The
days to tcome will demand clear minds, strong hearts, true vision.
Oar moot cherished leaders will be those who discover the way to be
come fathers to. the nation, in binding up and healing .its deep wounds.
Giving coarfort to the bereaved, and restoring their hearts and minds with
new courage to face the fatare, will take riches of understanding and caring
that money cannot bay.
i wfll rise ap from every section of the nation’s life, men of
otetare and faith in God. who pat their country’s welfare and destiny
any thought of self. Under their leadership America can rise above
all misfortune, and go forward morally strong and deepened in faith to win
the war, aad lend all nations into the sanity and security of a hate-free,
fear-freo, greed-free world.
