OUR RELIGIOUS DUTY
Easter Sunday, observed again in the shadow of a great war, found
the American people increasing appreciative of their religious institutions,
and increasingly attentive to their religous duties.
Millions of Americans earnestly observed this war-time Easter.

Millions of people all over the world are learning the importance of
religion, and the evil that is inherent in religious indifference.
In our own wonderful land, where freedom of religion is enjoyed, the
war has given us new understanding of religious faith.
Indifference to religion is a great mistake, on the part of people
and of nations.
It causes much of t

It is responsible for discrimin

Americans understand this better than many peoples of the world,
and abide by their understanding better than Most,
Still, Americans have risked more to religious indifference than they
should.
In peaceful years they were content HAVE religious freedom
without meeting the responsibility of safeguarding the Institutions and
observing the principles which made them Iree.
They became careless about their attendance in their churches, and
even their support of the churches
They were careless about the religious instruction of their children.
As a consequence, many children attained adult life without the
wholesome background of religious and Biblical] history and inspiration
—a background which the founders of our country considered inseparable
from responsible citizenship
And accordingly, skepticism and contempt for religion came to be a
part of our American life—not a ruling part, fortunately, but an omin-
ous part.
Skepticism and contempt for religion are not the natural attitudes
of Americans, or even the conscious attitudes
Children properly taught the inspiring story of Jesus, and the espec-
ally beautiful story of Easter, do not find refutation >f what they are
taught in their later life or become indifferent to it or purposely blas-
phemous about it.
The Easter story should be told and explained to every American
¢hild, in every American home
All of the beautiful and wholesome stories of the Bible should be
related FIRST in the intimacy of the home, where confidence and faith
are founded on affection and trust.
It is the FIRST DUTY of the American home to thus inoculate spir-
tual understanding ip children—a very important duty to the nation,
end to civilization.
After-that the school and the church can

increase understanding
-
and expand knowledge, but the first and continuing duty is in the home. |
It is for this reason that our American observance of Easter this
Year brightens the prospect of our future years, With millions of our
people renewing their personal associations with the church, there will
be a greater spiritual strength in the land and a higher moral purpose
and an infinitely better people. And the American home will reflect these
things, and children will have a foundation of sincere religious instruc- |
tion and faith.
The Easter outpouring of earnest people conforming to the eternal
teachings and example of Jesus, was a wonderful thing In this year of
war. It attests our reliance upon the ideals of the fathers of our coun-
try, and our own dedication to the task of preserving the free American
Institutions upon which the future world depends for freedom and peace
and justice.
“MORE THAN HOLDING OUR OWN"
Prime Minister Winston Churchill asserted in the House of Com-|
mons that the United Nations are “more than holding their own” in the |
Atlantic battle with the U-boats. While agreeing with Secretary Knox that |
the results of U-boat warfare are serious, he viewed the battle as a |
whole and repeated his “reassurance that we are more than holding our |
own.” |
Was “quite right” and explained that when he recently spoke of ag in-
creasingly bad submarine situation, he was alluding only to March, “If.”
he sald, “you take an average over the last six months, we are more
than holding our own.”

We're Rolling Tonight
There's a tang in the air around barracks and tents,
A thing you can’t tell of but something you sense,
There's a snap in our step, in our eyes a new light
For the word's passed around that we're rolling tonight,
Por months ‘round the Post we heard nothing but Kicks,
"Til the rumor came through via “seat number six.” .
Then the beefing fell off and our spirits took flight
On the wings of the news that we're rolling tonight.
Give a gambler his dice and a horseman his nag,
Give a boozer his bottle, a smoker his fag.
Give 8 gold-diggeér money, a maiden her knight,
Give a soldier the news that he's rolling tonight,
We have been here too long and the scenery is stale.
The Post's like a prison, the town's like a jail.
But off in the distance the horizon’s bright
And the open road calls us—we're rolling tonight.
Our bags and equipment lie out on the ground,
The cooks and K. P's are all hustling around.
The slum-gullion’s ready, the world is all right.
And we're writing the folks that we're rolling tonight.
When I've hiked my last mile and old Gabriel blows taps,
in my chips and the devil throws craps,
