Mrs. Hall has a good reason for
being interested in seeing the war
over soon. Her husband, S Sgt.

American Democracy: Let's Think It Through
American democracy, a phrase much beloved by
our Fourth of July orators, and constantly in use
during this time of war and crisis, is apt to become
to us simply a phrase unless we are willing to think
the thing through and examine the reality for which
it stands and the basis on which it rests.
The whole philosophy of American democracy is
contained in the following quotation from the
Declaration of Independence, the birth certificate of
American liberty:
“We hold these truths to be self evident; that
all men are créaied equal; that they are en
dowed by their Creator with certain unalien
able rights; . . . that to secure these rights
governments are instituted among men . . .”
Our rights, therefor, come from God and not
from any government. Our Federal and State Con
stitutions, Bill of Rights and all laws are not the
source of our rights but simply a recognition of and
protection for rights that God has given to each
man. They are fences built around the domain of
our God-given inalienable rights.
This fact that our rights come from God, rather
than from the state or government, is the main
reason that dictatorship is inconsistent with Ameri
canism.
According to the American concept of democracy,
liberty is a necessary consequence of God’s creative
purpose. Without God and the eternal and inescap-
able responsibility of each man to his Creator
there is no excuse for human liberty, and no valid
and logical complaint against the mighty who rob
the weak of this liberty. This is the reason that all
forms of absolute dictatorship are essentially athe
istic, for a successful dictatorship must establish
in the mind of the people the idea that there is co
authority beyond that of the government.
If the idea of God and the worship of Him is
allowed to fade out of the American scene, we snail
be taking the first step toward producing sor.'e
kind of home-grown .made in the USA totalitarian
ism. The American philosophy of democracy, and
the governmental structure reared thereon, will re
main strong and living as long as, and to the ex
tent that, our belief in and reverence for God is
strong and living, as long as we realize that there
can be no lasting and acceptable Brotherhood of
Man, unless there is a true acceptance of the Fa
therhood of God.—Chaplain Higgins.
