ABSTRACT
The reign of Pope John has been a wonder which grows more astounding the more we think how amidst the angry enmities of our time he became so greatly loved. It is a modern miracle that anyone could reach across all the barriers of class, caste, color and creed to touch the hearts of all kinds of people. There has been nothing like it, certainly not in the modern age. The miracle is a proof which we sorely needed that all the varieties of men do actually belong to one human family. Otherwise, so many could not have heard and understood and responded to Pope John.
