America 10 lay no finger Of oppression

it cries in every cabinet Of Europe not to
permit ACKNOWLEDGMENT in China, but to
leave that ancient people, in spite of
their little heads and their bigotry, a fair
opportunity 10 rise to the lightly of the
national destiny; it cries in the halls Of
Congress, in State Legislatures, in the
room where the cabinet assemblies in the
White House, and by the desk Of the
President. that in the name of Jesus
Christ the burdens of living must be as
nearly as can be equalized for the rich
and poor, for the ignorant and cultivated,
for the weak and the strong.
We believe that that spirit that came
direct from Christ. that struck the fetter
from the slave, that freed the serf from
the thran of feudalism. that expelled des-
potism by free institutions, that decc"ed
education for the people. that put the hal
lot il the hand Of every man. that q day
