The first was of a young man in England who said that he and members of his group were more popular than Jesus Christ. Can you imagine the Beatles being memorialized One Thousand Years from now? Then I thought of the thousands of Polish immigrants who had thronged to these shores seeking freedom of thought as well as religion .... how upon their arrival they typified the words on the Statue of Liberty. .... give me your poor. your huddled masses..." and how magnificently they had contributed to the economic. social and cultural life of this community. And last I thought. knowing that some 75.000 Polish Americans had made their way by devious routes and modes of transportation to Soldier Field. here was in truth a demonstration ... a demonstration of people attesting to their faith in the person of Jesus Christ. A demonstration as peaceful as this Saviour. as painful as His crucifixion and as triumphant as His ascendancy into Heaven.
