“.THERE IS LIBERTY!”
“Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty!”
That immortal passage from II Corinthians might well
be the slogan of The American Legion in its most commend
able “Back to God” movement. Through this project Legion
naires of our community and throughout the land are
urging the people of America to seek divine guidance in
their everyday activities.
The three chief objectives of this crusade are regular
church or synagogue attendance, daily family prayer and
Scripture reading, and the religious education of children.
The spiritual reawakening program won instant recog
nition when it was launched in 1950. Since that time it has
grown to tremendous proportions. Its importance in American
life today may be attested by the fact that President Eisen
hower, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, Rev. Norman Vincent
Peale, Rabbi Norman Salit, and other religious leaders
accepted invitations from National Commander Arthur J.
Connell to take part in the nationally televised and broad
cast Four Chaplains Day ceremony dramatically highlighted
the program this year.
The “Back to God” movement is being pushed energeti
cally through The American Legion’s 17,200 Posts and
its Auxiliary’s 14,000 units by sponsorship of non-denomin
ational religious services, billboard posters, window cards,
carcards and grace-before-meals cards which have been
distributed to hundreds of hotels and restaurants and to
hospitals, prisons and road dining cars. After distribution,
the cards almost instantly disappear, but the reason is
simple. People are taking them home! And that, says The
American Legion, is exactly what Legionnaires want them
to do. These cards alone are inspiring thousands of families
to talk with God in the sanctuary of their homes—occasion
ally for the first time in years.
To add impetus to the movement. The American Legion
recently called its state chaplains, under the leadership of
National Chaplain Dr. Tom B. Clark, into conference at
National Headquarters in Indianapolis. The results of the
deliberations of these men of God undoubtedly will be
felt throughout America.
Dedicated to service “for God and Country,” The Am
erican Legion invites our citizens to join in this rededication
of our lives and actions to the Creator, and in that appeal
we most heartily concur.
