THE PRESIDENT'S COLUMN j
Chaplain (Colonel) Edward L. R. Elson, USAR
Dear Chaplains:
There were many observances of the 182nd anniversary of the Army
Chaplaincy. I had the honor of cutting a birthday cake at one such observance in the presence of a number of Chaplains in Stuttgart, Germany. We ought to make more of such anniversaries and the occasion should be signalized in Churches throughout the land, as well as in military organizations.
For three days I was in Washington during mid-August following a tour
of ten Middle Eastern nations where I met religious leaders and titular heads of nations and their ministers. The experience was very revealing. Everywhere we were received with utmost courtesy. On a people to people basis there are areas of friendship which transcend the strains of official policies, or the tactical maneuvers of diplomacy. In most of the nations, America is popular and President Eisenhower has tremendous prestige as a person and exponent of peace with justice.
There is more than one Middle East. There is the Middle East of the Northern Tier, or Baghad ,countries, the Middle East of the Arab States, and the unique new State of Israel. To understand this area one must encompass a vast geographical land area as diverse in many ways as Europe. This area is important in today's world because it is the middle area between the two great compelling poles of power. Anyone who wants to understand the forces at work in our world will have to come face to face with this complex area.
We are now enjoying several weeks of rest, study and writing at our summer home on Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.
Fraternally yours,
EDWARD L. R. ELSON
FROM THE DESK OF
The Executive Secretary-Treasurer
Chaplain (Lt. Col.) William Golder, USA
This is the last issue of the Newsletter prior to the publication of the
DIRECTORY ISSUE. All donors to the annual Chaplains Anniversary Offering will be listed. Urgent request is made, therefore, for immediate notification with respect to anticipated Chapel Offerings. Certainly, we are delighted with the response thus far, and the importance cannot be minimized when one realizes that the only source of income for this non-profit, fraternal organization is the $5. membership fee, more than half of which goes back to the member in our publications The genuine response in this matter will help substantially to offset tremendous overhead expenses relatedto salaries of offiepersonnel, the complete refurbishing and decoration of National Headquarters and continued operating expenses.
The stated purpose of the MCA "to safeguard and to strengthen the forces of faith and morality of our nation, to perpetuate and to deepen the bonds of understanding and friendship of our military service and to preserve the spiritual forces with the military" is not lacking in definition. These tenets are being interpreted daily by faithful and consecrated Chaplains in every status. Neither can we overlook the fraternity which draws us together in a common bond of service that stretches beyond denominational conviction and our respective arm of Service.
We believe the strength of the forces we serve as Chaplains is essential, not only to the defense of our nation, but to the freedom of our world. And we would predicate this upon an even stronger conviction, the strengthening of spiritual forces by helping and encouraging men in uniform to stand alone, sustained by the words given to the Prophet centuries ago, "I, even I, am He that comforteth you: who art thou that thou shouldest be afraid of a man that shall die, and of the son of man which shall be made as grass; and forgettest the Lord, thy Maker, that hath stretched forth the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth." (Isaiah 51:12-13) Cordially,
