brief remarks that / have 10 make. 10
dwell upon this thought-lhe thought
that ought TO be in the mind Of every

that while On this country we need
wise laws honestly and fe1rles5ly exec

In that home. The future of this coun-
Try depends upon the way IN which
the average man and the average WOO
man in II does his or her duty. ana That
very largely depends upon the way In

daughter; but am afraid we do not
always see them as well developed as
we would Ike 10. | wish to see In the
average American citizen the develop
ment Of the two sets OF qualities which
We can roughly indicate as sweetness
and strength-the qualities ON the one
hand which make the man able to hold
his own, and those which ON the other
hand make him Jealous for the rights
OF others Just as much as for his own
rlhgts
we must have both sets Of qualities.
In the first place, the man must have
the power TO hold his own. You prob.
