dencc which has 50 slgually blessed and
prospercd rs as a nation.
Peace ana good will with all the nations
ot the earth remain unbrokct.
A matter of genuine satisfaction f. the
growing feeling OF fratcrnal regard and uni
hcation of all sections OF our country the
incompletcncss OF which has too long de-
layed realization of the highest blessings
Of the Union. The spirit of patriotism Is
