SOME FINE, STRONG WORDS
| Among the very latest utterances of
| Phillips Brooks we find the following
| from a letter to the American Associa-
| ton of CiVicS, which is not yet included
| in any published works of the great
| preacher. These words ought to be
| learned and lived by all who have the
opportunity to read and ponder them:
| Il plead with you for all that makes
| strong citizens. First. clear convic-
| tons, deep. careful and patient study of
the government under which we live I'M
til you not merely believe it is the best
in the world, but know why you believe.
And then clear conscience as clear as
in private interests, as much ashamed of
public as of private sin. as ready to hate
and rebuke and vote down corruption in
the state, in your own party, as you
would be in your own store or church;
as ready to bring the one as the other to
the judgment of a living God. And then
unseltshness; an earnest and exalted
sense that you are for the land and not
alone the land for you; something of the
self-sacrifice which all they showed who
have died for us. And then activity the
readiness to wake and watch and do a
citizens work untiringly, counting it as
base not to vote at an election, not to
work against bad official or to work for
a good one. as it would have been to
sh'rk battle in the war. Such strong
citizenship let there be among us: such
kniehtly doing of our duties on the field
of peace"
