work it has done for the deliverance of
Washington's birthday from neglect or
indolent remembrance.
I'm furtherance of the high endeaVor
of your organization it would have been
impossible to select for observance any
other civic holiday having as broad and
fitting a significance as this. 1t men,
orizes the birth of one whose glorious
deeds are transcendently above all
others recorded in our national annals;
and in memoriZing the birth of Wash

of all the virtues and all the ideals that
made our nationality possible and gave
it promise of growth and strength. 1t
is a holiday that belongs exclusively to
the American people. All that Wash
ington ldid was bound up in our ma
tional destiny. The battles he fought
were fought for American liberty, and
the victories he won gave us national
independence. His examples of unset .
fish conservation and lofty patriotism
made manifest as In an open book that
those virtues were conditions not more
vital to our nations beginning than to
it's development and durability. His
faith in God and the fortitude of his
faith taught those for whom he wrought
that the surest strength of nations
comes from the support of Gods al
mighty arm. His universal and un-
affected sympathy with those in every
sphere of American life, his thorough
knowledge of existing American condl-
tions and his wonderful foresight of
those yet to be, coupled with his power
full influence in the counsels of those
who We're to make or mar the fate of
an infant nation, made him a tremen-
dous factor In the construction and
adoption of the constitutional chart by
which the course Of the newly launched
republic could be safely sailed. And 1t
was he who first took the helm and
demonstrated for the guidance of all
who might succeed him how. and i'm
what spirit and intent, the responsi-
bilities of our chief magistracy should
be discharged.
