SECULARISM
Address delivered on November 7, 1948

My dear friends

:

It is not within my province,
from a legal point of view, to

take exception to the Supreme

Court decision adverse to re-

leased-time religious instruction

in public schools. Such legal

exception has already been made

by scholarly lawyers and even by

those Justices who in whole or
in part dissented from the ma-

jority opinion. Rather should

I find fault with that school of

thought which attempts to give

plausibility to the separation,

not of church and state, but of

religion from life. It is an ide-

ology, technically called secular-

ism, which, in reaching for

short-termed utility, entirely

overlooks both the higher pur-

poses of life and the only power

since the dawn of history which

has directly effected man's ascent

to better things.

Religion is not, as the secu-

larists would have us believe,

merely the sweet little pieties of

innocent childhood. It is not a

mere external cult or practice, a

kind of arbitrary exhibition of

vague and varied emotions. Re-

ligion, correctly understood, is

as wide as the sphere of human
activity. The secularist^ says

:

keep religion out of politics,

keep it out of finance, out of

business, science, education, so-

ciology. Such isolation could

not be sought except religion be

.confined to false and narrow

limits.

Religion gives the moral value

to human acts. It is the highest
knowledge a man's mind can

carry. It bestows the freedom

born of man's awareness of his

own dignity. It is the ruling
power and the Faithful guide

in the life of man when he is at
his best. It gives the capacity

to yearn for man's noblest ambi-

tion; love of God and love of all

men.

Man finds himself on the one
hand subject to the yearnings of

instinct and appetite ; on the

other he is aware of the impulse

which urges to the life of knowl-

edge and love. The objects of

instinct and appetite are limited

and particular; the object of re-

ligion is infinite. The thirst of

any of our appetites may be
sated for the moment only to
burn again on the morrow; the



8 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

thirst of the soul is never satis-

fied in this mortal span, but

strangely content in its discon-

tent for the eternal, industrious

'as the unweary humming-bird in

search for the one un-shallow

fiower. The impulse of religion

is above the gross, the material;

it is in the world of ideals and

it seeks a welfare wide and last-

ing. Religion purifies the mind

and arranges thoughts in the

order of their value. Religion

makes man capable of self-sur-
render to the Infinite : this is

the highest ambition to which

he can aspire—it is the only
state in which he can find peace

of mind and heart.
By far the most lasting good-

ness discernible in any era has

appeared under the banner of

religion. Sometimes evil has

masqueraded under a religious

cloak. But a cautious man does
not reject a treasure chest be-

cause he discovers a few counter-

feits.

Every page of honest history,

however clouded with woe, re-

cords the achievements of men
and women who served humanity
because cf love of God. In the

midst of corrupt philosophies

accenting the cheapness of life,

in the midst of cursed callous-

ness to human wrongs and suf-
ferings, they came forth ener-

gized by an inexhaustible source

of hope and faith and love. They

carried within their hearts the

seeds of a freer and purer life,

which was destined to transform

the thought, the' virtue, the faith

of the world. They were men
and women electrified by relig-
ious ideals. They were the saints,

the martyrs, the patriots, the

liberators, the builders. They

were mighty, not because they

were possessed of great wealth,

not because clothed with world-

ly power, but because they were

practical idealists, resolute, un-

selfish, devoted, self-disciplined,

heroic. Their talents, their po-

sitions, their accomplishments

may be varied. Some were men
of action, some of contemplation.

Some stood in the spotlight;
some, like the ‘‘flower born to

blush unseen.’’ But they were

the vanguard of goodness and

kindness. Teachers, nurses, sci-

entists, statesmen, founders,

builders, plodders. Religion is

not dead. You can find them to-

day in the most primitive cor-

ners of the world. You can find

them in the ivory towers of

scholarship. You can find them

by the side of the dying—in
whatever refuges the downcast

or afflicted seek for solace and

forgiveness. All the money in

the world could not buy a minute



SECULARISM 9

of their service; all the money

in the world could not bribe them

to deny a lifetime of service to

those in need. In ours or any

age, they are humanity’s most

faithful friends. Their most

glorious death is by crucifixion,

but in any age they are the

readiest to die for truth, for

freedom, for undying love. They

are the disciples of the great

Revealer of the fullness of truth

unto the fullness of life. They

are the resemblers of Christ, in

whom alone was the power so to
unfold the meanings of life, hu-

man and divine, as to make men
not merely His devotees, but the

devoted servants of humanity.

He came more vigorous than
a prophet,

.
deeper than any phi-

losopher, calm, sure, gentle, wise.

He came from the innermost se-
curity of the Divine Essence.

So human, that the little, the

unlettered, the lowly were quite

at home with Him; so Divine

that the greatest minds of which

the world can boast since' He
walked the earth have looked on

Him as upon the incomparable
ideal.

On a country road of a sum-
mer day in Galilee, on the stormy

waters of a Genesereth night, in

the midst of five thousand peo-

ple on a mountainside, He was in
charge of Himself and of the

world. In the face of lechery

and treachery, yes, even in the

agony of death—purposeful, in-
telligent, penetrating, serene.

With Him can be compared no
other person who has appeared
on earth, whether we consider
His character or His teachings

or the results which have sprung

from both. The meaning He
has given to the word ‘‘love” as

the highest symbol and expres-

sion of the soul’s deepest need,

and the most perfect attitude

toward God and man, has filled

the world with light and with

a fervor and glow of divine en-

thusiasm. Of all the miracles

He wrought, one is most evident
even today: the enthusiastic de-

votion He has never ceased to
inspire. The nineteen centuries

that intervene since He walked
the earth are a gulf of time but

not a gulf of infiuence. He is
still Christ the King. And all
the battles ever fought, and all

the laws ever enacted, and all the

scientific experiments . ever

brought to success, have not af-

fected the mind and the heart of

man as has the life and teach-
ings of Jesus Christ.

I dare an observation which

I wish were proved untrue: lit-

tle by little. He and all that He
stands for, are being driven

from the American scene. He is



10 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

not being cast out in a dramatic

repudiation; He is being eased
out. Religion is not being driv-

en from the American scene; it

is being relegated to the shad-

ows.

I am not blind to the fact that
tens of thousands of religious

agencies are still carrying on ef-

fective programs—that millions
of Americans are still God-fear-

ing, good living, wholesome men
and women. I am not oblivious
of the freedom of worship en-

joyed by religion in America, a

freedom denied to millions in

other parts of the world. And
yet there are undeniable signs

that the worth of religion is in-

creasingly denied by many and
its scope gradually restricted

more and more. An ever-increas-
ing number of American fam-

ilies have no positive religious

belief
; and practice has long

since been forgotten. The gen-

eral tendency by which our age

is impelled is a menace too much
that is valuable, even too much
that is indispensable.

As a system of thought athe-
ism is accepted only in ages of

decadence. It is a dogma wrap-
ped in despair. But many in
America today in practice re-

gard religion as a m3rfch, and

morality as convention. They
hold as a rule of life that our

first and only duty is so to shape

the world that it will be well

with us here, for tomorrow we
die and death is the end of all.

Hence some turn to an almost

insane pursuit of money; it far

outstrips the natural virtue of

ndustriousness and reasonable

pro\ision for temporal welfare.

It becomes an insatiable thirst

for the power of wealth and ev-

erything is measured in terms

of dollars. Some never achieve
success in this pursuit but they

still keep the ideal, false though

it is, as their aim of life. Many
pursue a life of sensuality and

this indeed becomes an obses-

sion if not ’complete madness.

Millions are losing a hold on

eternal things. . They wander

aimlessly without God and with-

out hope. Death is the horizon;

faith in a life after death, or

even a deep purpose for* this

present life is dismissed as ab-

surd. Multitudes have fallen in-

to indifference. Others foUow

credulously every advocate of a

new belief. No opinion is too
shallow to have its followers.

We do not need a new formula
for peace of mind and heart

—

not even for world peace. We
need a renewal of faith and hope

and love. We must be resolved
to see not only things as they

are, but ourselves as we are.



SECULARISM 11

Where self-criticism is absent,
whether in individuals or in na-

tions, decay sets in. How many
people in America today recog-

nize the godlessness of commu-
nism as its basic evil? The eco-

nomics of communism are far
from America’s front door; but

the godlessness of communism is
lurking in many an American
back yard. The remedy is re-

ligion; awakening to the truth

that this life is short, faith in

the life to come, recognition of

responsibility to God.

To say that America should be
more religious is like saying that

men should be better. Every-
,body agrees in a general sort of

way, but not many do anything
about it. I shall therefore be

more specific : because of re-

traints brought about by the sec-

ularists much of America’s . fu-
ture regard for things valuable

and sacred depends upon the de-

termined efforts of her good and

conscientious teachers. The work
which America has accomplished

in the field of education, both

elementary and advanced, has

never been equalled in the his-

tory of any other people. In the

scientific and technical spheres,

in commercial, in agricultural,

and in industrial education we
have made rapid and incompaiv
able progress. But the para-

mount in life is to live in the
spirit, to love and to do what is

right.

I am fully aware that the
teachers in tax-supported schools

are under obligation to avoid

sectarian religious teaching. But

if professed atheists can remain

year after year on the faculties

of state colleges and universities,

if they can, under the banner of

academic freedom, scoff at re-

ligion and morality, surely the

great body of reverent and con-

scientious teachers cannot be de-

nied the freedom to exhibit re-

ligion as a most valuable aid to

character, to encourage as a

basis for wholesome living a con-

science responsible to God. The

teacher must of course use care

to avoid sectarianism. But if

the thousands of teachers who
respect and cherish religion in

their own lives courageously

make use of academic freedom in

teaching the objective value of

religion, then once again the

people of our land will begin to

grasp the real values of life. The

multitudes will cease to drift at

the mercy of the secularist plan

which teaches that life can be

good even though men have no
standard beyond greed and ex-

pedience. Men will no longer
waste their energies in a mad
chase for the sating of passion



12 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

and the fulfillment of whims, their success not by standards of

They will reawaken faith in the wealth or pleasure or fame but

goodness of life. Once again by the solid spiritual standards

they will judge themselves and of character and virtue.

A



SCEPTICISM
• Address delivered on November 14, 1948

My dear friends:
No one deliberately dies for

nothing. Men have been known
to suffer, to work, to pray, to

fight, yes, to die—for truth, for
freedom, for love. But no one

deliberately dies for nothing. In

the world of ideals, which is the

realm of intelligent men, we
strive for what is good or for

what seems to be good. But

there are, sad to tell, millions of

our fellow-countrymen who re-
lentlessly march day after day

to a door called death, which is

for them the gateway to nothing.

When the impulse comes to seek
something positive or of lasting

*

goodness, to seek a principle or

standard of permanent value

they cast it aside because it is

not immediately as obvious as a

brick wall or a pelting rain. With

a fateful shrug of the shoulders

and the weary query ‘‘who

knows they continue to drift

—

drift on to the inevitable door-

way. They despond like Mac-

beth and life becomes a “tale

told by an idiot, full of sound

and fury, signifying nothing.”

Surely we cannot believe that
this life is infinitely good and

sacred in itself. And yet for

many, their horizon is scarcely

beyond a snapshot taken at a

picnic, or a dollar bill, or an

ounce of perfume. Is such the

abundance of life?

One need not go far to find the

man who appraises himself in
the same practical way he would
evaluate an automobile. He has
no opinion on the prime cause

of the world, neither belief nor

denial of God, no anticipation of

any life beyond this vale of

tears. He does not deny; he
does not aflarm; he lives a day-

to-day existence, not very good

and not very bad. He tries to
make the most of this life, the
while he secretly feels it is all

quite worthless. He appeases
his questful mind by .constantly

seeking factual knowledge. He
may wrap himself in vigorous
work because idleness brings

boredom. He observes the law
of the land because he recognizes

such observance as the price of

self-respect and of peace in so-

ciety. He may be gentle, kind,
and polite in his dealings with

others because of a subconscious

reverence for natural virtue and

also because urbanity costs little

and pays much. He may have



14 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

cultured tastes in music or art

or literature. But one thing he

cannot do in honesty to himself.

He cannot be thrilled at the pros-
pect of a death which is “the

be-all and end-all.’’

If duty is but habit; morality,

but convention; if the love and

devotion and self-sacrifice by

which humanity has been sal-

vaged from savagery, if all this

is but a foolish hecatomb to a

phantom God, then why not face
it and be done with it? Let him

deny God and religion and mor-

ality if in denial he arrive at

truth. Or let him make a hum-

^
ble profession of faith in God

and religion and morality—if in
affirmation he arrives at truth.

But why does he continue to live
on the fruit of religion’s tree if

he despises the roots of that

tree?

The greatest obvious enemy of

civilization today is communism

;

but a subtler and more vicious

enemy is the religious and moral

indifference of today’s world

leaders. And when I speak of
world leaders I do not mean
merely prime ministers, or am-

bassadors or senators; I mean
those men and women, statesmen
or educators or commentators,

who influence the thought of
mankind. Communism or fas-
cism or any other totalitarianism

which denies the rights and

worth of the individual is an

enemy of society; but a greater
enemy by far is that religious
apathy which spurns the only

valid reason for the individual’s

worth : that he is a child of

God.

The source of much of our
modern religious scepticism may
be traced to the failure by many
to put a proper value on the

deeper promptings bf their own

consciousness. At a very early

moment in life we become aware
of our being in a real world. It

was not ' a mere phantom but

something objectively present to

us. We do not know things apart
from ourselves, but as they are

related to us. As we know
whatever we know in relation-
ship to ourselves, so also do we
know God. We cannot know
Him except as our little minds
are capable of knowing Him.

In a word: we shall never wrap
our finite m_inds around an infi-

nite God. We can, however, be-
come aware of the infinite God

encompassing us. The dissatis-

faction over the fickleness of all

things finite would be impossible

if we did not have at least a hid-
den consciousness of the excel-

lence of the Infinite.

The pathetic lament re-echo-

ing through all literature over



SCEPTICISM 15

the insufficiency of the world

comes from the presence in the

mind of the idea of God—ab-
solute, constant, sufficient. We
become aware of God as the Real

who abides though the world
passes. If we were completely
worldly the poverty of this earth-

ly existence would not be per-

ceptible to us. Though it re-

mains difficult to marshal these

thoughts in an arrangement that

drives to a logical conclusion, yet

they stand as the mast from

which the living faith is un-

furled. The man who does not
hammer into oblivion the deep
promptings of .his own heart,

who attempts at least to under-

stand in some measure their

force and meaning, will at the

same time know that religion is

as durable as human nature.
Moral goodness is the proper

yardstick of a man’s worth. The

old saying that clothes make the

man is not true ; sometimes
clothes mark the man, but a

diseased body decked out in

finery is not any less afflicted.

The possessor of vast wealth is

not necessarily a man of com-
mendable character; he may be
or he may not be.
The questful mind of |man

seeks truth; the warm heart of
man seeks to love and to be
loved. Truth and love are the

highways that lead to God who
is infinite Truth and infinite

Love. The observation of Au-

gustine is a worthy subject of

meditation for anyone attempt-

ing to analyze the dissatisfac-

tion we eventually find in all
things temporal : *‘My heart was
made for Thee, 0 Lord, and it
shall never rest till it rests in

Thee.”

What can* be said of individ-
uals can be said of institutions,

be they educational, economic,

political, or religious. The cri-
terion of their value is their pow-

er to bring men to the possession
of truth and the exercise of love.

This is the standard by which

may be judged every human ef-
fort. Because our limited minds

are reaching for Him who is not
limited, our knowledge falls far

short of a full knowledge. Faith

must come to the rescue. Faith

is not final; it is the stop-gap

between quest and quarry. When
knowledge supplants faith and

love’s yearning is entirely ful-

filled, we shall dwell in the high-
est conceivable union with God.

In the meanwhile we shall con-
tinue to bow our heads in humble
faith before the personal God in

whom existence and thought and
love are one. When we profess
such faith we utter the most di-
vine truth known to man.



16 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

But in our world today how
many there are who look upon
faith as nonsense. Yet what do

they substitute for it? We see
them living in perpetual tur-

moil, busily pursuing the most

fickle of fancies. They live with-

out hope and they spin out their

lives not knowing what to choose.

They force themselves again and

again into the world of appear-

ance and show, choking any

idealism that attempts entrance

to their, thoughts. They are

ready to judge that criticism has

toppled and destroyed every ob-

ject of faith to which men have
clung. They fence themselves

into a material existence; pos-

session and self-indulgence be-

come the highest ambition.

Amongst the great questions of

life — whence and why and
whither—they meander idly.
They are at times still haunted

by the Unseen and so they loose-

ly hold some opinions for which

they claim no more truth nor

error than they accord to count-

less other opinions. For them

the existence of God, the pos-

sibility of life after death, re-

sponsibility for our actions

—

these are fair topics of conver-

sation, but are not to, be accept-

ed as realities about which any

certainty can be had. They re-

duce God to an abstraction and

cast spiritual things into shad-

ows unpenetrated by the light

of truth. They lose faith in

God, lose faith in themselves.

The misery of the world is evi-

dent to anyone who would pause
but a moment and appraise the
hectic ambitions of men. They

feverishly pursue goals which

promise no more lasting satisfac-

tion than the pop of a -firecrack-

er. Oftimes they admit the un-

worthiness of their choice but

assert there is nothing better in

this miserable existence. Those

who tread lower paths are
soothed to think none walk high-

er.

The philosophy of scepticism

originally applied its theory to

everything. Modern man has
restricted it to spiritual things.

Distrust of our knowledge of the

material is simply cast aside as

obviously senseless
; but when

distrust is applied to the spir-

itual world—to God and the soul
—many accept with quick cred-
ence and are ready to discard

everything that men have ever
held sacred.

Our life and what we make it
depend upon our objective and

our pursuit of that objective. To

say it makes no difference what

a man believes is like saying that
a marksman need have no idea

of the location of his target.



SCEPTICISM 17

Everything depends upon what
we really believe and earnestly
love.

Magnificent faith and love

have lived and still live in count-

less minds and hearts. They

have been and they are enduring

columns upon which men have
ascended to the highest and the

best. To persuade a man that
his best and most promising

thoughts are fraudulent aberra-

tions of a cbnfused mind is to

degrade him and to reduce him

to the status of an animal. To

persuade a man that he has no
moral responsibility for his ac-

tions, is not to free him but to
cage him into an arena where the

whip of force is the only law.

Those who try to persuade men
to these lower views of life are

triflers with a sacred element

of human life; their influence
is vicious.

Faith in the spiritual and ad-

herence to the spiritual have al-

ways been the deepest wisdom

and thus shall continue to be.

Though man has been unable to
penetrate the mystery of his

own magnificent finite nature,
much less the mystery of the in-
finite God, yet he possesses the

capacity to know God in an im-
perfect way, to believe in the

God who surpasses understand-
ing, to love Him who is Love
Supreme.

The sceptic, burning his in-
cense at ihe shrine of the ques-

tionmark, is to be pitied, not con-

demned. The religious man too
has his question-marks; but.for

him they are like the pales of a
latticework, hindering but not

completely obscuring his view

beyond. The religious man does
not profess to have in this life an

adequate view of the object of

his adoration. That is why he
insists on the necessity of faith.

The greatest minds, the most

constructive men in every age
have not been sceptics but men
of faith. Faith is in the roots

of everything we call civiliza-
tion. Faith rescues this life

from despair. It is perennial

wisdom; it is the everlasting

promise to the dying. It is the

strength of those who love truth,
the spur to those who cherish
freedom.- It is the whisper from

an unseen world that rocks our

hearts with a mysterious rest-

lessness for eternity. It is the

promise unto life, lifer UNEND-
ING LIFE.



SCIENCE
Address delivered on November 21, 1948

My dear friends:
Can science be the savior of

mankind? Even to word such

an idea in the form of a ques-

tion probably ’smacks of irrever-

ence to some ; in their minds the

salvation of man is to be found
only in the research laboratory.

They ask: is not science respon-

sible for every shred of prog-

ress made by the human race?
Science has given man knowl-
edge and control over the forces

of nature. It has given him

leisure and transportation and

entertainment—all to a degree
of which our forefathers did not

dream.

It has given man the means of
communicating and therefore

inter-changing ideas quickly and

accurately. The avowed purpose

of every reputable scientist is

to work that men may live a bet-
ter, fuller life, free from dis-

ease and poverty. Thus speak

many of the hopeful devotees of
that great, mysterious master

called “science."'

It would be a grave mistake

for those less optimistic about

a science-wrought earthly para-

dise to speak with scorn of what

has been accomplished by the

researchers, the experimenters,

the inventors of the past sixty

or seventy years. These earnest

men have given the world a full-
er knowledge of the past and a

keener critical discernment of

things present. They have re-

lieved humankind of ten thou- .

sand laborious tasks and har-

nessed natural forces to serve

our needs. They have worn out
their eyes, their health, and their

lives searching for the means to

overcome disease; many of the
dreaded maladies of the past

can now be either precluded or
quickly cured. To disregard or
to sneer at these and hundreds

of other accomplishments of

physical science would be to

brand ourselves as stubborn

fools. To imply, by any disre-

spect for the achievements • of

science, a dread of the influence

of those achievements on relig-

ious faith and truth would be a

monumental disservice to relig-

ion's cause. We in religion's
service must of all men be able
to stand with reliance in the

halls of knowledge. We may, by
reason of pur humanity, be irked

at times at the halfness and

prideful knowingness of sci-



SCIENCE 19

ence’s dilettantes ; but by far

and large the truly great sci-

entists have been and are men
and women who, if not them-
selves blessed with religious

faith, at least have a deep and

honest respect for the faith they

observe in others. Some of the
famous names in every branch

of scientific research are identi-

fied as people of great religious

faith and unflagging religious

practice.

In scanning the honor-rolls

which hold in reverence note-

worthy scientists, I cannot but

be pleased to find not only many
of my co-religionists but many
of my fellow priests. They
study and speculate, and probe,

and test in their applied fields

with free, judicial minds; they

labor, not under a grudging per-

mission of the Church, but with

her wholehearted approbation

;

oftimes under her patronage.

They know, as the Church

knows, that truth is one. There

can never be real discord be-

tween truth revealed by God and

truth gleaned from nature by

man’s observation. Repugnance

between faith and knowledge is

impossible. Nature and the su-

pernatural are products of the

same Creator. Any truth is in
harmony with all truth; truth

in contradiction to truth is a

metaphysical impossibility. The

humble scientist who probes in-
to nature’s secrets finds he un-

locks further evidence of God’s

wisdom and power.

The physical universe is as

God made it, and He has given
man faculties to discover order
and truth hidden since the foun-

dation of the world. Sophistry

sometimes can give error the

mask of truth; but error can
never be proved true. God, who
is truth itself, can never reveal

a falsehood as truth nor give

man faith in what is false. Truth
is sound and secure, whether we
receive it through valid faith or

through valid reasoning upon

scientific observation. Anyone

who does not deny the ability of
the human mind to conform to
objective reality must recognize

that reason cannot contradict it-

self.

St. Thomas Aquinas demon-
strated that the will can select

only those objects presented to

it by the intellect. Faith and

knowledge both present to the

will of man the greatest object
for love, because the one di-

rectly exhibits God in His per-
fection, the other reflects the

perfections of God in His handi-
work. To accentuate an appar-
ent want of harmony between

the temporal and the eternal is to



20 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

disregard the fact that time it-

self is but a little portion of

eternity. The second great com-

mandment pointed out by our

blessed Lord ‘‘to love thy neigh-

bor as thyself/' is beautifully

fulfilled by many of science's ac-
complishments.

,

If it is a bless-

ed service to give so much as a
cup of cold water to a stranger,

then so too, is the painstaking

research which discovers the

cause and cure of our neighbor's

afflictions. They who have la-
bored or who labor to bring
their fellow-men a better, a

purer, a freer, a fuller life,

whether they realize it or not,

are co-workers with Christ, the

master lover of mankind.

If all is mutual ^ respect and

harmony, then, between science

and religion, whence has arisen

any opposition? Are the points

of contention between these two

fictitious? We may well repeat
the principle of the unity and

orthodoxy of truth: valid faith

and valid reason can never be in

opposition. An untruth, er-
roneously held as a revelation

from God, may be repugnant to
a truth gleaned from an obser-

vation of the natural world; or

an untruth, which is produced by

incorrect reason, or which is due

to faulty observation of some-

thing in nature—^^such an un-

truth may be found hostile to
truth revealed in faith.

J

There are certain speculation^

and assumptions currently held

in some scientific circles which

will always be in opposition to

religious truth. One such is the
theory that matter alone is real;

that there is nothing beyond

energy and its modifications into

matter and motion
; that God is

a manufacture of primitive

minds and is no longer necessary

to explain the first cause of cre-

ation. The universe is—^that is
all—it is and its origin needs no

explaining. It is a huge machine

that always was, and it runs by

itself. These and similar pre-

sumptions must ever be rejected

by anyone who has a shred of
religious faith. To be very hon-

est : it is much easier to believe
in an Infinite God who thinks
and loves, and who has put the
order in the orderly universe,

than it is to believe in a mon-

strous unconscious principle

from which all things have stag-

gered into existence.

A second point of contention
which has the appearance of a

conflict between religion and sci-

ence arises from the implica-

tions of some popular lecturers

on science. They weave the

story, in dramatic episodes, of

one or another' scientific achieve-



SCIENCE 21

merit; they contrast the brilliant

technician to the ignorant or su-

perstitious dullard of yester-

year; then with the hint that

certain dazzling secrets may not
yet be divulged, they imply that

tomorrow science will know all
things and do all things. We
who have faith in the supernat-
ural, who believe that man, with
his free will, is responsible for

his actions before God, we can
never harbor the suggestion that

morality may be reduced to
chemical reactions, that things

of the spirit may someday be
catalogued and sealed in physi-

cal test tubes.

Then again at times the Suave

sophist regards religion as his

mark. He does not marshall any
forces for a frontal strike at the

bastions of religious truth; he

pinks a sleepy sentinel with his

ponderous popgun and gloats as

though he had achieved a broad-

side victory.

And on and on they come and
go, these so-called conflicts be-

tween science and religion. When
they are analyzed they fade away

because they are not real. Either

they are untruth pitted against

truth or they are half-truth

against half-truth.

But valid knowledge does no

violence to valid faith—and valid
faith is not opposed to valid

knowledge. The unscientific

meanderings under the banner

of science eventually are repudi-

ated by the more careful sci-

entists themselves.

But there is one difficulty pre-

sented by some excellent sci-

entists, and by some very sin-

cere investigators which seems

indeed to be formidable. It may
be summarized thus: the human
possessor of religious faith in-

jects too much of his own hu-
manity into the object of his

faith; he makes his God super-

human, but yet too human; he

makes his God a person who
thinks and loves where instead

he should bow his head before
the great unknowable power be-

yond that which is known. Ac-

tually there seems to be a kind

of new and profound religion in
this humble profession. Its pro-

tagonists reject the highest re-

ligious faith found in man on
the ground that it is not high

enough. They give us a choice,

as it were, between the personal

God in whom we believe and a
God who is beyond the limita-
tions of personality. Now we
certainly do not claim to have

an adequate knowledge of God,

else we should not put such value
on faith, but to ask us to sup-

plant this with a huge “un-

known quantity—X’’ is quite un-



22 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

reasonable. If we think at all,

we think as human beings. When
we think of God as the Infinite

in whom thought and love and
being are one, we are describing

Him in the greatest terms of
human thought. We admit that
He is much more than we can
know or express. But we do not
admit that our limited knowl-

. edge is inaccurate. A man can
bask in the sun, be warmed by
its rays, examine the world in

its light, use its energj' in a

thousand ways, even though he

have incomplete knowledge of its

vastness and grandeur and pow-

er. A cat can accurately look
at a king even though he cannot

comprehend the extent of the

monarch’s realm. We can know
some truth about God from, al-

legorically speaking, the finger-

prints He has left on the uni-
verse He made. Moreover, to
deny the fact of revelation is

less a denial of our capacity to

receive than a denial of God’s

power to reveal to us truth about

Himself.

Progress is a basic conviction

of Christianity — progress in
knowledge of God and progress
in holiness, i.e., in conforming

our will to His will. This idea

of progress applies not only to

each individual but to the whole

human race. The saintly schol-

ars of each age have been able,

with God’s help, to shed new
light on ancient truths. And
while we would not presume to
claim greater individual holi-

ness for our age than for some

earlier era, yet there are cer-

tainly more people striving for

holiness today than in any day

past. Very likely the propor-

tion between strivers and non-

strivers is much less today than
it was in Christian Europe in

the ages of faith ; but better

transportation and communica-

tion have brought the faith to

the farthest corners of the earth.

The human race is more multitu-
dinous than ever before. It is

quite safe to say there are more

people today pursuing high re-

ligious ideals than ever before in

world history. We are still far
from perfect knowledge and love

of the great Father whom our
Lord revealed. Error is still

mistaken by many for truth. The
sating of appetite is still often

misjudged as the ultimate in

life. But when we take a larger
view we see that progress has
been made, not only material,

but spiritual as well.

We must learn patience; we
must learn not to form judg-

ments about all mankind based

upon observing a few individ-

uals, There are evidences that



SCIENCE 23

in some parts of the world the

fashion of doubting and disbe-

lieving is waning^ There seems

to be a restlessness in many
hearts—a kind of insurgence,
quiet but firm, against remain-

ing indifferent when vital issues

are at stake. Some who, scarce-
ly ten years ago, were the most

optimistic believers in ‘‘science

the savior of men’^ now humbly
fear that science without mor-

ality. instead of bringing a glor-

ious tomorrow can very possibly

put an end to any tomorrow.

What does that mean? Maybe
it means that men are beginning
to think straight again. Maybe
it means that God is coming

back, that God is coming hack.

I

V



SALVATION
Address delivered on

One common denominator up-
on which all men agree is the
attractiveness of pursuing hap-

piness. The pursuit may take
people into ten thousand differ-

ent pathways but the objective

of each man is the one objective
of all. The individual’s concept

of happiness determines the

cause of pursuit.

Before considering the various

catalogued objectives which men
pursue in search for happiness it

might be appropriate for each

of us to try to recall those peo-

ple we ourselves have known who
were manifestly happy. I do not

mean to recall someone who was
joyful and cheery for- an hour

or a day because of some feli-

city; but rather those who were,
more or less, consistently happy

regardless of circumstances. In

my own memory those who leap
forward as the most obvious

qualifiers are people of widely

separated modes of life. In each

case the radiance of happiness

wds unmistakable. In each case
the source of happiness could be

traced to an attitude of mind.

And in each case that attitude
of mind was clearly one of un-
wavering trust in God. If any-

November 28, 1948

one claims to know a better
formula let it be tested in life’s

sorrows as well as in life’s joys,

in failure and in success, in

health and in infirmity
;
and if it

prove well in these essays then

let it be tested at the hour of

death.

But to return to the pursuers

and the pursuit : one popular con-

cept of happiness is often ex-

pressed in the wistful horizons;

‘'if I had a million dollars.” Of

course comparatively few ever

have a million dollars and so the

elusive wish usually becomes the

hollow hope of youth and the sad

frustration of age. Very few

are ever in a position to know
by experience what the mil-

lionaire knows: that happiness

is not assured by the number of
zeroes one has to the left of

the decimal point in a bank ac-

count, nor is it assured by hav-

ing one’s name repeatedly sub-
scribed to deeds or stocks or

bonds. It is evident that a des-

titution which deprives a mar

of the necessities of life and even

of some more common of the
luxuries, such a destitution mil-

itates against happiness in so

far as it causes misery. It is



SALVATION 25

true too that a poverty which

allows no reserve for possible

emergencies may give rise to
harassing anxieties about the

future. But as the extreme of

privation is judged an obstacle

to happiness, let not the extreme

of affluence be misjudged as the

guarantee of life's serenity. AIL

the money in the world can not

buy the light in a child's eyes

on First Communion Day.

A second concept of happiness
that catches the efforts of many
is all wrapped up in a glittering

transparent box. The name of

the box is personal pride and

the prize inside is fame. It is

a human thing to desire fame.
The prima donna who bows
graciously before an apprecia-

tive audience is probably little

more thrilled than the youngster

who hangs by his knees from the
limb of a tree amidst the ‘‘ohs"

and ‘‘ahs" of his youthful school-

mates. But the most conclusive

antidote for anyone who identi-
fies public acclaim with happi-

ness may be found in this for-
fula : read yesterday's newspa-

pers! Or sit and meditate in the

shadow of the pyramids of an-

cient Egypt I

The third and final category

of popular concepts of happi-

ness may be termed briefly but

quite completely: sense grati-

fication.

Pursuit of happiness in the

world of the senses is probably

the most widely accepted of all

possible channels. It is the least

satisfactory. Without entering

into a long analysis to reveal the

leaning,toward excess in the sen-

sitive appetites, sense gratifica-

tion, for all of man's frenzied

pursuit, has long been discredi-

ted by human experience as a
worthy objective. When the
yearnings of the senses are sep-

arated from their God-given pur-

pose, the shallow thrills of satis-

faction gradually become less

and less attractive, and may de-
teriorate until they are down-

right repugnant. When this
happens peace of mind and
heart recedes farther away than
ever before, for man has debased
himself. Sense pleasure becomes

an obsession, spiritual yearnings

are choked off by the frantic

carnal pursuit, and “the last

state of that man becomes worse
than the first" {Luke 2:26).

Happiness becomes an ever

fading, ever elusive dream when
it is pursued on 'the avenues of

wealth, or fame or sensuality.

The soul of man is athirst for
God and it can never be at peace
unless the man at least walk in
God's direction. Appetite turns



26 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

a man’s pursuit to passing emo-

tions; reason and faith bring

him into contact with the ob-

jects of his nobler aspirations.

By the enlightenment that faith
brings, the mind is awakened to

a \i\id awareness of God’s pres-

ence. He ceases to be merely
the mysterious First Cause of

all creation, the unseen Hand
that rolled the stars into rigid

paths in trackless space. We
learn to view Him as our loving
Father, watching over us in our

sorrows and our joys; the hope

of whose approval is the inspira-

tion of every worthy -deed; the

strong Father whose unswerving

will is in every call of duty; the

kindly, merciful arms awaiting

to envelope the prodigal re-

turned.

The great revealer and exem-

plar of this matchless faith is

the Son of God, made man,
Christ Jesus. Long before the
blessed night at Bethlehem, the

true God was proclaimed but
the echo of His hallowed name
had been lost almost amidst the

worldly din. Even amongst the
gentiles a select few, sitting at

the feet of the ancient philoso-

phers, might be moved in natural
reason towards a true knowledge

of God. But it was left to
Christ, our Lord, so to speak of

His heavenly Father as to thrill

the ordinary man. He alone
thrust open the gates of heaven;

He alone rolled back the stone on
everlasting life and love

;
He

alone brought hope to a hope-

less world.

Prior to our Lord’s coming,

many people of the pagan world
looked upon themselves as help-

less pawn on the chessboard of
quarrelsome gods. Even amongst

the chosen x>^ople, there were

those who cowered ‘under a God
whom they regarded as an aloof
but exacting task master. But

Christ brought not only a new
revelation to the world ; He
brought that revelation in terms

intelligible to every rank of hu-

mankind. He spoke in terms
ringing of profound truth, but

also replete with warmth ap-
pealing to the human heart.
When He bade us'to pray: “Our
Father, who art in heaven,” His
words are like manna from heav-
en. Thenceforth, as never be-

fore, man could clearly know
that worship of the world and

the gaining of everything in the

world,* could never compensate

for the loss of God. Men began
to realize that God is not a hid-

den operator of a gigantic pup-

pet show; but rather He is the
loving Infinite Spirit who is
above us, but also within us.

W^ithout Him, there is no sue-



SALVATION 27

cess, no victory, no wealth, no

peace; with Him, nothing else

matters.

Our Lord not only preached

His ideal, not only made plain

the possibility of its attainment,

but He also bought the divine
grace, and instituted the sacra-

mental means of dispensing that

grace which man needs. His
sympathy was with the perfec-

tion of the individual. He was
no respecter of worldly power

and prestige. He loved goodness
wherever He found it.
To man's nobler desires, to the

deep strong yearnings of the

soul, /Christ made His appeal,

taking a firm stand against the

baser cravings of appetite and

passion. He did not merely point
out the way; He led the way.
And He still leads the way, in
which way alone we may find
our better selves, patterning our

life after the life of God Him-

self, ever widening and deepen-

ing our capacity to love.

Christ's own comments on His

teaching indicate His main ob-

jective: ‘‘I came that they may
have life, and have it more

abundantly" (John 10:10). ''lam

the way, and the truth, and the

life" (John 14:6). And again:,
‘‘The words which I have spoken

to you are spirit and life" (John

6:64). “He who sent me, the

Father, has given me command-
ment—and I know that his com-
mandment is everlasting life"
(/oM 12:49).

In our Lord was made known
the infinite Life who is God

;

but He also gave to the world
a knowledge of the worth of hu-

man life, its sacredness, its
meaning and its purpose. His
whole work is in favor of life.
He cleansed the lepers and re-
-stored them to life in society.
He cured the sick, gave sight to
the blind, courage to the discour-

aged, strength to the weak, faith

to the confused, forgiveness to

the sinners. He gave up His
own life that men might have
eternal life. He is the resur-
rection from death. He is the
only hope of peaceful earthly

life, of peaceful eternal life, for

the whole human race.
The most perfect life is per-

fect in knowledge, perfect in holi-

ness, and, most of all, perfect in
love. It is not a mere collection of
formulas or a system of rules.

It is love and beauty and holi-
ness; it is above all abundant
life. It is what we live by and
what we live for, and only by
loving it can it be possessed. The
standard by which we may judge
the value of anything is the

yardstick
. of life itself. The

home, the church, the school,



28 NOT BY BREAD ALONE

these most sacred institutions

known to man, have their value

because of their ability to sus-

tain, to develop, or to influence

life.

If we are to pattern ourselves

after the ideal which Christ es-

tablished, we must be convinced
that we live first and foremost
in order that we may know and
love God. The essence of life is

to grow; and the essence of our

life is to grow in quality of life,

both natural and supernatural,

more and more to become like

the eternal and all-perfect God,

by whom and in whom and for
whom we must live.

This truth of Christ which ^
makes us free is not something

dead. It cannot be confined to a

little glass exhibit case with a

card of information attached to

describe and date it. It is alive

;

it is the life of each soul watered

and nurtured by the breath of

God. If we would be Christ-like

we must not only see God in all

things; we must love God in all

His creation. Anyone who does
this is well along the way in the
pursuit of happiness.

We know that in the past not^
only individuals and nations

have lived and died but whole

civilizations as well. Thej:e were

times when darkness and con-
fusion and savagery seemed

about to undo every mark of
progress that man had made
through thousands of years of

struggle and pain. There has

been in the history of the world

only one influence which has

been able to wade into the re-
curring tides of desolation and

despair to bring light and hope

once again to the heart of man.

That one influence is Jesus

Christ. If. a more wide-spread,

a more just, a more permanent

state of society has replaced the

bleak ruins of ancient pagan

worlds, it has been brought

about mainly because of the

ideals, the paramount example,

and the grace of our Blessed

Lord. Because of the dismal

clouds on the eastern horizon

many people today are forgetful
that the sun yet shines on vast

areas of the world. Hundreds

of millions are still people of

deep religious faith. We pos-
sess a wide intellectual view; we
have a grasp of the shortcom-

ings, the- needs, and the possi-

bilities of the human character;
we have a consciousness of our

responsibility to our fellow-man.

We have an appreciation of the
sacredness of life which no pre-

Christian people ever had, and

which no un-Christian people

ever can have. Christ is the

primary and vital impulse in all



SALVATION 29

the most excellent things that

have ever been accomplished.

It may seem an exaggeration
to extol the virtues of Christian

convilization in the face of the

manifold faults evident on the

pages of Christian history. In

the long conflicts with barbarism

individuals and even peoples bap-

tized into the faith did not al-

ways live up to the high stand-

ards Christ set for them. Yet if

we would make a fair survey of
the whole picture, the challenging

fact remains that with Christ

the new life of the race began.
In Christ the most divine hopes

and aspirations of man are cen-
tered. Through Christ the best

and most beneficent accomplish-

ments of humanity have been ef-

fected.

In the midst of a perishing

universe the soul of man seeks
for union with the non-perishing

God. If we want success in our
pursuit of happiness we shall
find it only if we pursue Christ.



THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR
(Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the in-
augural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National
Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.)

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National
Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who, by their financial
support, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broad-
casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a
weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an-
swering of inquiries, must be met. . . .

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our
fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial
greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of
service to America, which certainly will listen in interestedly, and even
sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its
historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with
its own notable contribution to the discovery, exploration, foundation
and growth of our glorious country. . . .

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light
task. Our pravers will be with those who have that task in hand. We
feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of
the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover

of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less
material, and a more spiritual standard among our people.

With g*ood will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympathy for
all. this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful-
filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio
hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ,
our faith, which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve
to make better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing
the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine through Christ;
pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties
and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our search-

*’ng and questioning hearts.
