I am not referring to the absolute， infinite concept of universal peace and good will of which some fantasies and fanatics dream. I do not deny the value of hopes and dreams but we merely invite discouragement and incredulity by making that our only and immediate goal.

Let us focus instead on a more practical， more attainable peace， based not on a sudden revolution in human nature but on a gradual evolution in human institutions—on a series of concrete actions and effective agreements which are in the interest of all concerned.
There is no single， simple key to this peace；no grand or magic formula to be adopted by one or two powers. Genuine peace must be the product of many nations， the sum of many acts.It must be dynamic， not static， changing to meet the challenge of each new generation.For peace is process—a way of solving problems.
And second， let us reexamine our attitude towards the Soviet Union. ln short， both the United States and its allies， and the Soviet Union and its allies， have a mutually deep interest in a just and genuine peace and in halting the arms race.AAgreements to this end are in the interests of the Soviet Union as well as ours.And even the most hostile nations can be relied upon to accept and keep those treaty obligations， and only those treaty obligations， which are in their own interest.
Wherever we are， we must all， in our daily lives， live up to the age-old faith that peace and freedom walk together. ln too many of our cities today， the peace is not secure because freedom is incomplete.BIt is the responsibility of the executive branch at all levels of government—local， State， and National—to provide and protect that freedom for all of our citizens by all means within our authority.
It is the responsibility of the legislative branch at all levels， wherever the authority is not now adequate， to make it adequate. And it is the responsibility of all citizens in all sections of this country to respect the rights of others and respect the law of the land.

I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice.I join you in this meeting because I am in deepest agreement with the aims and work of the organization which has brought us together：Clergy and Laymen Concerned about Vietnam.The recent statements of your executive committee are the sentiments of my own heart， and I found myself in full accord when I read its opening lines：“A time comes when silence is betrayal.”And that time has come for us in relation to Vietnam.
The truth of these words is beyond doubt， but the mission to which they call us is a most difficult one. Even when pressed by the demands of inner truth， men do not easily assume the task of opposing their government"s policy， especially in time of war.ANor does the human spirit move without great difficulty against all the apathy of conformist thought within one"s own bosom and in the surrounding world.BMoreover， when the issues at hand seem as perplexed as they often do in the case of this dreadful conflict， we are always on the verge of being mesmerized by uncertainty；but we must move on.
And some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony， but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision， but we must speak.And we must rejoice as well， for surely this is the first time in our nation"s history that a significant number of its religious leaders have chosen to move beyond the prophesying of smooth patriotism to the high grounds of a firm dissent based upon the mandates of conscience and the reading of history.Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us.If it is， let us trace its movements and pray that our own inner being may be sensitive to its guidance， for we are deeply in need of a new way beyond the darkness that seems so close around us.
