UNITED WE STAND 19 Finally, we Americans — Catholics, Protestants, and Jews — still accept the Hebrew-Christian concept of the Kingdom of God and consider it the supreme and complete expression of the democratic ideal. Not long ago the New Yor\ Times carried an article in its Sunday magazine section with the title, "An Open Letter to Jews and Christians." Appealing to his readers to "keep God in American history," the author declared: We — Jews and Christians alike — must answer the challenge of Hitler's Mein Kampf with the counter-challenge of the struggle of Jesus to establish a free spiritual kingdom on earth founded on mercy and love. President Roosevelt, in an address to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, on the occasion of its 55th anniversary, stressed again this same deep, spiritual note which runs through our nation's entire history. He said: If the world to emerge from the war after a victory of the United Nations is to be a world of enduring peace and freedom, that peace and that freedom must be founded on renewed loyalty to the spiritual values inherent in the great religious traditions which have saved mankind from degradation in the past and which offer the greatest promise for civilization in the future. United we stand as a nation, on the eve of another Independence Day, celebrated in the midst of a world at war! Yes, united in the belief in a fundamental moral law; united in respect for the sanctity of individual personality
