Religion Our Most Vital National Asset
The bishops declare religion essential to individual and national life. They warn secularism erodes freedom and moral law, urge continued public support for faith, and cite Lincoln's prayers and America's founding religious heritage as the basis for a society governed by divine law. They stress religion steadies family and state, guiding justice, charity, and common good.

Trappist Monastery Work Resumes in Conyers Georgia
Work on the permanent Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Ghost at Conyers continues with foundations laid but walls halted by lack of funds. About 90 Trappist monks live in temporary quarters while the Abbot appeals for about five thousand dollars monthly, noting the labor is provided by the monks themselves and neighbors’ aid is needed.
