CHICAGO.— Tolerance was des
cribed as a feeling of respect for one
another for being true to our con
victions by Col P, H, Callahan, pro
minent Catholic layman of Louis
ville, in an address on “A Century of
Tolerance” delivered at the session
here of the World Fellowship of
Faiths. The address was broadcast
over the radio.
‘Tolerance,” Mr. Callahan said, in
the course of his address, “means
that we are going to have a high re
gard for one another's intentions,
that we will not question one an
other's sincerity of purpose, that we
will respect, one another for being
true to our convictions, that we will
be anxious to cooperate with one an
other in all efforts that will make for
civic, economic or social betterment
Now, there is a good philosophy, a
good justification for such an atti
tude of mind. I cannot possibly
understand how you arrive at your
religious convictions: you cannot
possibly understand how I arrive at
mine; there is only one who searches
the mind and the hearts o : men, and
consequently ihere is only one who
has the right to sit in judgment, over
us all in these matters,
“It is true, tolerance has not de
veloped to the extent that we should
like to have seen it develop. Pre
judices. which should be differen
tiated from intolerance, are with us
in abundance, aad being an extreme
expression of likes and dislikes, like
the poor, they are apt to be with us
always. Prejudices continue to play
a large part for and against all the
social, economic and political move
ments of the day. Prohibition, for
instance, in the last decade has
created enmities and discrimination
surpassing anything due to religious
prejudices.”
