abled to do our duty to ourselves and
TO others. Never has there been a
time when religious and charitable ef-
fort has been nor evident. Much
has been given to us and much viii
he expected from us. We speak of
what has been done by this nation in
no spirit of b~oastfulness or vain glory,
but with full and reverent realization
that our strength is as nothing unless
we are helped from above. Hitherto
we have been given the heartiest
strength to do the tasks allotted to
us as they s~everally arose. We are
thankful for all that has been done
for us in the past, and we pray that
in the future We may oe strengthen
ed in the amending struggle TO do our
duty fearlessly and honestly, with
charity and good will with respect
for ourselves and love toward our fel-
low men. In this great republic the
effort to combine national strength
with personal freedom is being tried
on a scale more gigantic than ever
before in the worlds history. Our
success will mean much. not only for
ourselves, but for the future OF all
mankind: and every man or woman
in our land should feel the grave re-
sponsibility resting upon him or her,
for in the last analysis this success
must depend upon the high average
of our individual citizenship, Upon the
way in which each of us does his duty
by himself and his neighbor.
