SAVANNAH, Ga. — Funeral
services for John Ralph Berry
were held January 13th at the Ca
thedral of St. John the Baptist.
all people on the earth, ever brought the ceremony to a close,
speak truth and serve justice.
“And so shall America—in the
sight of all men of good will—
prove true to the honorable pur
poses that bind and rule us as a
people in all this time of trial
through which we pass.”
The President noted that “all
the world” is divided, and he said
“the divisive force is Interna
tional Communism and the pow
er that it controls.”
“We look upon this shaken
earth,” he continued, “and we de
clare our firm and fixed purpose
—the building of a peace with
justice in a world where moral nell> al] of Savannah,
law prevails.”
Applause rolled over the plaza
when the President said “Buda
pest is no longer merely the name
of a city; henceforth it is a new
and shining symbol of man’s
yearning to be free.”
Asserting that “this peace we
seek cannot be born of fear
alone,” the President said “there
must be justice, sensed and shar
ed by all peoples, for, without
justice the world can know only
a tense and unstable peace.”
“Splendid can be the blessings
of such a peace,” the President
added, “high will be its cost: in
toil patiently sustained, in help
honorably given, in sacrifice
calmly borne.”
The President said “we honor
the aspirations of those nations
which, now captive, long for
freedom.” He added at once: “We
honor, no less in this divided
world than in. a less tormented
time, the people of Russia. We do
not dread, rather do we welcome,
their progress in education and
industry. We wish them success
in their demands for more intel
lectual freedom, greater security
before their own laws, fuller en
joyment of the rewards of their
own toil. For as such things
may come to pass, the more cer
tain will be the coming of that
day when our peoples may freely
meet in friendship.’
His Eminence Edward Cardinal
Moonfey, Archbishop of Detroit,
gave the benediction which fol
lowed immediately after the Pres
ident’s address. The Cardinal |
prayed God to help the President
