The White House Washington March 6, 1941

This is a quote word for word on the inside of a Bible given to- The Army Of The United States.

To the Members of the Army:
"As Commander-in-Chief I take pleasure in commending the reading of the Bible to all who serve in the armed forces of the United States. Throughout the counturies men of many faiths and diverse origins have found in the Sacred Book words of wisdom, counsel and inspiration. It is a fountain of strength and now, as always, an aid in attaining the highest aspirations of the human soul."

Very sincerely yours,

To think they thought of the Bible that way and spoke of it that way even to different religions, not to offend people, but to show them that this book is .."an aid in attaining the highest aspiration to the human soul."
