Before me now is a copy of the February 26th copy of Christian Sci ence Monitor containing a feature article by William H. Stringer, The President and the ‘Still Small Voice’..” This article reveals the deeply religious background of President Eisenhower and the re markable way in which his religious faith has flowered since he be came president. This process commenced with his famous inaugural prayer which he wrote and de livered personally before his inaugural address.

Furthermore, conditions in the world today, which come to charp focus in the challenge of atheistic com munism and the threat of mass destruction from the atom and H- bomb, tell us that if we are to survive as a people we must learn to live together as children of God. As a nation we are slowly learn ing that prayer is the mightiest force in the world operating through faith and love. The President is giving us good leadership in this. In addtion, the American Legion, composed of men who know war from first hand information, most of whom fought wars not of their own making, have a program calling the nation “Back to God.” centered around Christian train- Prwcrlptlon ^ PhanmcItH ^ Know the VITAMINS You Need...
