FOUR HOPES
OF THE REPUBltc.
(By Cardinal Gibbons.

(By Cardinal Gibbons.)
People discuss very often whether
our republic Will endure, whether the
blessings and privileges we possess,
the liberty without license we enjoy,
will continue. ....... ...
There are many pessimistic men
who forecast with foreboding the de-
cay and dissolution Of our republican
form OF government
For myself, do not share in those
gloomy forebodings. have an abid-
ing faith IN the permanence OF our
republics believe that many genera
tons to come Will see the stars and
stripes floating over free and en-
lightened people.
My first hope rests upon the wisdom
and the discretion OF our civil rulers.
In every age Almighty God has raised
UP men amongst US to rule the country
with dignity and to confront every
emergency that might occur
Ny second hope rests upon the in.
.telligence and the patriotism of the
American people, They fully appre-
ciate the civil blessings which they
enjoy, and they will not permit those
privileges to be snatched from them
without defending them with their
lives
My third hope rests upon a strong,
sufficient army and navy that will
uphold the dignity Of the republic and
repel every invasion. We have no
desire 10 increase our territory; but
we are determined that not one acre
OF our land shall ever be withdrawn
from us without loyal defense.
But my greatest hope of security
rests not on the wisdom OF our states.

Gems, nor on the yalor of.our army and

ton, has shown to the world that "the
battle is not to the strong, nor the
race to the swift" Ny trust lies in
the protection OF an overruling Provi-
dence.
Our government is based upon re.
