dawn of that day when his peace will erect the glorious temple builded of   
living stones, the nations of the earth, wherein all members of the vast   
human family will find tranquility, security in justice, and freedom and   
inspiration to worship their creator and to love their fellow men.  It is the   
day, as Your Excellency says, longed for by all men of good will.  But not   
all realize that the temple will stand and ensure only if set on the foundation   
of Christian, more than mere human charity, not alloyed with vindictive   
passion or any elements of hate.  Such charity the divine redeemer of mankind   
proclaimed as His commandment, illustrates by his example and sealed with his   
blood.  Through it men can once again be united as loved and loving children   
of their Divine Father in heaven.
 
     
 
 
We avail ourselves of this occasion to renew our good wishes, while we   
pray God to protect your person and the people of the United States.
