Lodge writes: "I propose that God should be openly and audibly invoked at the United Nations in accordance with any one of the religious faiths which are represented here. I do so in the conviction that we cannot make the United Nations into a successful instrument of God's peace without God's help--and that with His help we cannot fail."

Lodge, Henry Cabot Jr., 1902-1985
