one and indivisable. 1t was strong enough
and brave enough to wage the hottest war
since Time began, to shed blood and treas
ure In the cause of suffering humanity, and
why should we doubt that Ii is wise enough
to finally and rightfully dispose of the ques-
tons and responsibilities now resting upon
US as a result of victories achieved on land
and sea by the genius and valor of Ameri-
can arms?
1.-The difficulty is that in viewing the
problems before us we fail to call to the aid
of our intelligence the patriotism that Is in
our hearts. We attempt their solution
along the lines of partisanship, disregard
ing the beseeching cries of country, and the
work we may leave unfinished with respect
to these matters must rest with the rising
generation, and the least We can do In the
honest performance OF our duties as citl-
zens is to so prepare their hearts and minds
that they may without delay, and with GER
tainty, work out a glorious salvation for
themselves and for their country. Steam
and electricity and invention have made all
the centuries of the Christian era down to
ours count for nothing. and the wonderful
progress of the last fifty years as a result
OF the revolution worked by these forces
has so changed the relations of people and
industries that the world has not yet ad-
iusted itself to them. 1t Is true, therefore,
that the reliance of the present and of the
future must be upon the intelligent patriot
ism of our citizens, that order may be
brought out of the chaos produced by this
twentieth century earthquake of opportuni-
ties and powers. The times are ripe for
educated and earnest patriots, and ignorant
demagogues and our free schools and free
Institutions are the recruiting stations for
the patriots The graduates and members
of these are the officers in the great army
of American progress to which, 1 trust, we
all belong and as such should remember
that we are fighting not only the battles of
to-day, but of all time, and that we are
developing this country not only Tor our
selves but for posterity."
The closing ceremonies were conducted
by the lodge and then the choir and audi
ence sang the doxology. The benediction
was pronounced by Bert l.. Feibleman, in
the absence of the regular chaplain.
