...morning last week, Pope Paul VI, 66, arrived to celebrate Mass, the first modern Pope ever to do so in a jail (Pope John XXIII visited the same prison in 1958, but did not say Mass). Four prisoners assisted Paul at the ceremony, and more than 600 inmates received Communion. Afterward, with the men pressing freely around him, the Pontiff was moved to tears, as he told them: "I have come to kindle in each of you a flame that may have gone out."

Our thoughts wander back to that historic night in 1898, when William McKinley knelt in his office in reverent communion with the Lord, before coming to the Mutual Decision to launch his courageous Spanish-American War. Johnson's proposal of a Monument is no more nor less than the fitting and logical culmination of Washington's long standing with the Divine...
