On the fourth day ... he saw coming toward him a person with beautiful large eyes, serene countenance, and fair skin. As the two faced each other, a voice rang out in the depths of Sri Rama-krishna's soul: 'Behold the Christ, who shed His heart's blood...
...liberty as important as freedom of the press. It is not fair that one Christian sect should be able to deny another a civil liberty that it wants. Yet that is the situation in Massachusetts today.

And because the faiths of Germany and Japan found expression in the deification of their own nation and race they led inevitably to war. The leaders of America, without regard to party or creed, are determined that this shall not happen again. We recognize that military victory will be hardly won, and if won will prove but illusory unless there is born in ourselves that faith which makes men strong and fills them with a sense of mission in the world. We also realize...
