Let me add that your quotations ‘rom President Coolidge are unfor- tunate. If they are correct, they deserve a public protest. You quote as his words: “Men speak of nat- ural rights, but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights ever existed or were recog- nized, unti] there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of natur- al laws.” Natural rights and nat- ural laws existed before human laws were made. Man has in his reason light enough to see that many acts are wrong, — sinful | against God and men, even if they |are not forbidden by human laws. When God is set aside, when He is rejected, then there are no natural laws, but only for those who, by wilful obstinacy, have shut the eyes of their mind to the light which God gives to every man that has come into this world. ~ Very respect“ully yours, *Vincent Wehrle, Bishop of Bismarck.
