brought you out To the high summit of

over this great land of ours, and it smiles
all the brighter because you deserve it
by Keeping the faith and maintaining
the truth of the multiplication table in
your financial doctrine. (Applause) l

in the darkness, is true today when the
sunlight of prosperity falls upon the
