The great law of Christian life is Christ's law of love of God and love oftour neighbor, The New Year summons us again to what should be our sacred duty, the fulfillment of that divine law. Like God's great mercy, Christian love is boundless; it extends to all our fellowmen. It does not ask their nationality, race or social position. Inspired by this magnanimous concept, the Constitution of our beloved country protects the personal dignity and the equality before the law of every citizen. Hence racial anta onism or lack of mutual respect of man for man offends both the precepts of the Almighty and the traditions of our beloved nation. Petty bigotry, of whatever kind, contradicts the teach- ings of Christ and the guarantees of the Constitution. It is the prayer of all men of good will that discord and intolerance, so alien both to the Gospel of Christ and to the democratic spirit of our country, may never gain a foothold in this land. By fidelity to its own heritage of broad understanding and harmony, our country, while fully respecting the worthy traditions of other nations, shall continue to be a blessed exam- 4 ple to all the peoples of the earth. WILLIAM CARDINAL O'CONNELL Archbishop of Boston BISHOP G. BROMLEY OXNAM For the Massachusetts Council of Churches
