len was 10 he, ana ! hope yon brought
TIE dreams with you. No man tliat
docs not see visions will ever realize
any high hope or undertake any high
enterprises. just because YOU brought
dreams with YOU. America is more
likely 10 realize the dreams sncl, as
YOU brought. You are enrIciing ms
" YOU came expecting MS TO be better
than we are.
Special Consciousness.
"See, my friends, what that means;
II means that Americans must have a
consciousness different from the con-
seriousness Of every other nation IN the
world am not saying this even with
the slightest thought of criticism of
other nations. You know how II IS
with, a family. a family gets centercd
on Itself If IL Is not careful and Is less
Interested In the ncighbors than II Is
in its own members. 50 nation that
Is not constantly renewed out OF new
sources Is apt 10 have the narrowness
and prejudice OF family; whereas
America must have this consciousness.
that on all sides II touches elbows
and touches hearts with all the ma
tons OF mankind.
"The example Of lmcrica must bc
special example. The example OF
America must be the example not
merely Of peace because II VIII not
fight. but of peace because peace Is
the healing and eIeyating influence OF
the weird and strife j. not. There ~
such q thing a. "a man being 100 proud
10 fight. There ~ such thing a. q
nation being 80 right that " does moi
need 10 convince others by force uint
II Is right.
What Nation Can Give.
$50 IL you come into this great ma
ton as you have come, voluntarily
seeking something that we have to
give, all that we have to give ~ THIS
We cannot exempt you from work.
No man is exempt from work any
where In the world ! sometimes think
he is fprtunatei IL he has 70 work only
with hfk hands.and not With his head.
II is very easy NO do what other peor
pie give you TO do but II Is very dlf-
ficult to give other people things TO
do We cannot exempt you from
work; we cannot exempt you from the
strife and the heart breaking burden
Of the struggle OF the day-that IS
common to mankind everywhere; we
cannot exempt you from the loads
that you must carry; we can only
make them light BY the spirit IN
which they are carried. That Is the
spirit Of hope, It Is the spirit OF liDer-
~ 1t is the spirit Of justice.
when was asked, therefore, by
the mayor and the committee that ac-
companied him TO come up from WASH
ington to meet this great company OF
newly admitted citizens, ! could not
decline the invitation. ! ought not 70
be away from Washington and yet
feel that II has renewed my spirit as
an American. In Washington men
tell you so many things every day That
are not so, and ! like to come ana
stand In the presence Of great BODY
OF my fellow-cit whether they
have been my fellow-citizens Tor
long time or short time, and drink,
as il were out OF the common fouii-
tain with them and go back feeling
that YOU have so generously given me
the sense of your support and of the
living vitality In your hearts, OIL us
great ideals which made America the
hope of the world
