In his message to Congress, January 6, 1941, President Roosevelt said he was trying to "make secure" the future, by fashioning a world which would be founded upon four essential human freedoms. He enumerated them as: "1.) freedom of speech and expression; 2.) freedom for everyone to worship God in his own way; 3.) freedom from want; 4.) freedom from fear ... anywhere in the world." He was simply echoing the teachings of the Constitution of the United States which, in turn, is a ref lection of sacred Scripture.
