time is nothing less than the unset clement of the foundations of civiliza- tiOn.
 "Civilization does not rest upon war. It rests upon peace. It rests upon those things which men achieve by cooperation and mutual interest in one another. It does not flourish in the soil of hostility and antagonism and a world war is a war in the presence of which civilization holds it's breath and wonders if it will It. self survive. AS we see these great issues joined, we on this side of the water are done this great service we are reminded of our spiritual re- lation not only to this great strug- gle, but particularly to this great na- ton of which we constitute a part and our spiritual relation to the rest of the world is determined by our spiritual relation to America.
 Ready For Unusual Duty.
 You have come together to be pre- pared for any unusual duty which America may call upon you to per- form, but what has moved you to do this? Your duty to your country. But what is the foundation of that duty? What do you conceive America to be? When you come to the last searching analysis we do not owe any duty except to those things that we believe in, and the glory of perform ing our duty towards America is that we believe in America; and we be- lieve in America because-I venture to say it with entire respect for our peoples and other governments-fo ta h @ special purpose such as no other government ever avOWed. This gov ernment was established in order that justice and liberty might belong to every man whom our institutions could touch and not only that justice and liberty might belong to every man whom our institutions could touch and not only that justice and liberty should belong to America, but that, so far as America was con- cerned, and her influence involved they should be extended to mankind everywhere. So the inspiration of serving America is a very profound inspiration.
 The Great Struggle
 Have you not thought what might be the outcome of this great struggle, so far as the nations already engaged are concerned? Can you not imagine the great awakening that has come to country like France, for example; how much more intensely every Frenchman and every German feels the national compulsion than he ever felt it before How much more he feels himself, not an individual, but a fraction in a great whole? How much more his blood springs to the challenge of patriotic suggestion He is not fighting for his own life. He is sacrificing his own life, or willing to sacrifice it, in order that a greater life than his might persist, the life of his nation. So in America we are getting already the indirect benefit of that suggestion: We are beginning to realize how a nation is a unit and that any individual of it who does not feel the impulse of the whole does not belong to it and does not be- long in 1t.
 We have heard a great deal about divided allegiance in this country, but before we discuss divided allegiance in it's political aspect, we ought to let our thoughts run back to what were perhaps our divided allegiance in re- spect to our relations to each other. America had been brought to such a
