the American people:

the reign OF righteousness, the welfare
of the friendless poor, the riches that
endure forever, with the same self
sacrificing activity with which they
seek the wealth and pleasures of this
world, they will have a good chance

now so often eludes them and of
building up pattern for the nations
of the world to imitate.%
