CONVENTION VIGNETTES
The deactivation of the USO was not because there was no longer a need for wholesome leisure-time activities for enlisted personnel. . We still have a fundamentally youthful armed force, . a concentration of youth which creates problems both for themselves and the communities that they visit. . We have a responsibility to return these young people to civilian life prepared to take their places in community affairs..... "Associated Services for the Armed Forces, Inc." was officially born April 14, 1950, . to provide an organization and a means through which the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, National Catholic Community Services, and the National Jewish Welfare Board may carry on their historic work of serving the spiritual, religious, social, welfare, and educational needs of the men and women of the Armed Forces. . It is the sincere hope and belief of all three agencies that "Associated Services" may be the peacetime counterpart of the wartime USO. -EDWIN E. BOND, Executive Director.
Religion today is important as it never was before. As all of you realize, this is a time of unparalleled struggle for the minds, the hearts, and the imagination of men around the world. It is given to you to preach and to live and to serve the most democratic faith the world has ever known. You are and must be proud of your calling; you are and must be proud of your high place in this death struggle for a decent world. Your assignment, the assignment of organized religion, is to build the peace of brotherhood and the brotherhood of peace in times of peace. -FRA ]K L. WEIL.
The onward sweep of the Third Russian Revolution . is the most fundamental single political event since the fall of the Roman Empire. -EDMUND A. WALSH.
American democracy simply cannot be understood except in terms of the influence which religion has had on the American people. -FRANCIS H. RUSSELL.
Chaplains may have moments when they feel they live a dog's life, but as far as their preaching goes, it resembles the role of a seeing-eye dog. Like that skillful and discerning friend of the sightless, the military chaplain . provides guidance for his comrades.
-DAVID A. MACLENNAN.
We in the Veterans Administration hope and believe that this work of our hospital chaplains is lasting work. We believe that the renewed faith and confidence they instill into our patients will remain as a permanent part of their future lives. -GENERAL GRAY.
A poor preacher will empty a cathedral; agood one does not even need a church.
-GENERAL MARSHALL.
On Thursday Chaplain John W. Bundrant, National Chaplain of the Army and Navy Union, conducted morning devotions. Speaking briefly from the text: "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage"-Psalm 16:6-he stressed the opportunities and privileges of life in America-the freedom to learn and think, to ask questions and express opinions, to work constructively in the field of one's choice. Speaking of the Negro in this country, he directed attention to the progress in recent years, the broadening educational and business fields opening before him, the growing respect for him as a citizen and as a man. As we listened to the reiteration of the Psalmist's cheerful words, backed by the buoyant spirit of the speaker, we felt sure that the Chaplain will always dwell in pleasant places because he creates such an atmosphere and carries it with him wherever he goes.
Chaplain Burns, currently assigned to the post at Munich, urged the chaplains in America to prepare the men religiously for the situation they will find when ordered to duty in Europe.
