It is on the strength of our spiritual life that the right rebuilding of our national life depends. In these last tragic years many have found in religion the source and mainspring of courage and selflessness that they need. On the other hand, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that our precious Christian heritage is threatened by adverse influences.

It does indeed seem to me that if the years to come are to see some real spiritual recovery, the women of our nation must be deeply concerned with religion, and our homes are the very place where it should start. It is the creative and dynamic power of Christianity which can help us to carry the moral responsibility which history is placing upon our shoulders. If our homes can be truly Christian, then the influence of that spirit will assuredly spread like leaven through all the aspects of our common life, industrial, social, and political.
