/Soldiers Told ,Cause Is Just 'At Callan Mass America fights "to safeguard the God-given liberty of a free people, to compel respect for nations who want to live in peace," the Most Rev. Charles F. Buddy, bishop of the Catholic diocese of San Diego, said yesterday in a sermon honoring Camp Callan army personnel in St. Joseph's cathedral. Attending the mass and sermon were 200 officers and men and uni- formed nurses from Camp Callan and 26 nurses from Mercy hospital. Brig. Gen. Francis P. Hardaway, commanding Camp Callan, and his staff were present. Participants in the mass included the Rev. Kenneth Stack, celebrant, and the Rev. John Scannell, deacon of the mass, both chaplains at Camp Callan; the Rev. Henry Fitz, sub- deacon, and the Very Rev. Thomas McNamara and the Very Rev. Franklin F. Hurd, deacons of honor to the bishop. Other participants were soldiers from Camp Callan. Two solos were sung by Pvt. John Ryan, of Camp Callan. : ASK HELP OF GOD In vestments of cappa magna, · Bishop Buddy presided at the mass t and delivered the sermon. He drew a comparison from the Old Testa- ment, citing Judas Machabeus as t "one of the greatest generals of · antiquity, a brave roldier and , patriot." "Before Judas Machabeus en- . gaged in battle, he first invoked t the help of Almighty God in defense of his people," said Bishop Buddy. , "Spurred on by the cause of liberty, even though far outnumber- 1 ed and without any rams or engines of war, Machabeus tore down the 1 walls of Jericho and with one v victory following another, put to i flight the ignoble gangsters who e tried to enslave his people. ! 'UNTARNISHED RECORD' "Five thousand years have elapsed since the triumph of Machabeus and fi j here we assemble !n humble prayer t to invoke divine aid for freedom t

f BRAVE MEN READY 11 "When the cause of war is coupled ; • with some great principle, when' · the hero pours out his life blood to · maintain liberty and civilization for t the present to win peace and secur- ! ity for generations yet unborn, to . defend such rights are annunciated < in the preamble of our Constitu- tion, then the war is just and the < soldier's fame imperishable. "In every age, God has raised up brave men and valiant women who preferred death to deserting eitner the cross or the flag and preferred , a thousand martyrdoms to igno- 1? ' minious slavery. E/ "'Render to Caesar the things that , t I are Caesar's and to God things that ' /are God's' teaches fidelity both to the cross and to the flag because 1 - military and civil authorities repre-1 i t sent the sovereign dominion of the 1 - supreme Creator. Honor and obedi- s ence are due them. . AUTHORITY INSTITUTED "The all-wise Legislator ordained the existence of human society and since without justice and order, hu- man society cannot exist, God insti- tuted civil authority. "When the welfare and protection 1 of the nation require it, men, ac- 1 cording to the ability of each, have 1 the solemn duty to mobilize their 1 s possessions and every fiber of s strength that is in them to repel 1 force with force, to defend rights which demand the intervention of t arms, to safeguard the God-given l r liberty of a free people, to compel f respect for nations who want to - live in peace."

"The United States of America - has an untarnished record in its • dealings with other nations. We s have shown to the world what pow- eriul elements are purity of prin- ciple and integrity of purpose. We r have never waged war for conquest r 1, of territory or monetary gain, never I to purchase a crown with 1 te blood of our citizens, nor to wade ,- through slaughter to a throne. "Our military record, unsurpassed n by any other, ancient or modern, is ts can armies battled only when the ,e rights of men were trampled under 1 1 the feet of tyrants. The American •e soldiers' grave has always been dug ( tried 1 • ts brief but honorable. The Ameri-
