Signs of the Times

with contributions from Paul F. Huebner, James R. Angell, Archbishop of Canterbury

[Paul F. Huebner, in the Tribune, Lynwood, California]

From the earliest times men have built memorials of stone in memory of their war dead.... In the year 1863, Lincoln stood on the battlefield of Gettysburg and said, "It is for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced."

I propose that we, the living, be now dedicated to the unfinished task of really ending war and of making our world safe for democracy; that we now build, in honor of our war dead, a new memorial, not made of stone, a monument of world peace.... Let us who believe in the Prince of Peace ... dare to erect a new memorial, one dedicated to human brotherhood.
