There have been two great crises
| IN our country's history. first when
| Il was formed, and then again when 4
| was Derpetuated. The formative period
| Included not merely the Revolutionary
war, but the creation and adoption OF
| the constitution and the first dozen
years OF work under IL. Then came
/ sixty years during which we spread
/ across the continent-years Of Vita
growth. but OF growth without rather

I stress and strain which eliminated
/ in the civil war. the period OF terrible
] struggle upon the issue OF which de-
pended the justification or all that We
I had done earlier. and which marked
7 the second great period o. growth and
development within

nation, we. the people Of the United
states as a whole. can now afford "a
forget the evil. or at least to remember
/ IL without bitterness. and to Fix our
eyes with pride on the good that was
accomplished. Even in ordinary times
there are very few OF us who do not
see the problems or life as through a
glass. darkly. and when the glass Is
clouded by the murk Of furious popular
passion the vision OF the hest and the
l bravest Is dimmed.
Looking back. We are all OF us now

I disintcrestedness and the love OF the
