SULLIVAN of Nevada IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Tuesday, December 19, 1944 Mr. SULLIVAN. Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my remarks in the RECORD, I include the following letter published in the Washington Star . of December 13, 1944: To the EDITOR OF THE STAR: The following lines were written by Fra Giovannni in 1513: "I salute you. I am your friend, anu my love for you goes deep. There . is nothing I can give you which you haVP. not got; but there is much, that while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can come to us unless our hearts find rest in today. Take heaven. No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this precious little instanl· .. Take peace. The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it yet within our reach is joy. There is radiance and glory in the darkness, could we but see, and to see we have only to look. I beseech you to look. "Life is so generous a giver, but we, judging its gifts by their coverings, cast them away as ugly or heavy or hard. Remove the covering and you will find beneath it a living splendor, woven of love, by wisdom, with power. Welcome it, grasp· it ,and you touch the angel's hand that brings it to you. Everything we call a trial, a sorrow, or a duty, believe me, that angel's hand is there; the gift is there, and the wonder of an overshadowing presence. Our joys, too: Be not co11tent with them as joys. They, too, conceal diviner gifts. "Life is so full of meanings and purpose, so full of beauty beneath its covering that you will find earth but cloaks your heaven. Courage then to claim it; that is all. But courage you have; and the knowledge that we are pilgrims together, wending through unknown country our way home. And so at this Christmas time I greet you. -FRED E. THOMPSON. DECEMBER, 1949
