God that as nation we have ever been
dedicate to peace and justice. That we
have never waged an unjust war, never.
like Ahab coveted the Naboth vineyard
of some weaker nation. That to the
contrary we have diligently cultivated
all the arts of peace and gotten unex-
ampled wealth which with lavish hands
we have always gladly shared with any
needy creatures of His. the whole globe
over.
But we especially thank God for our
national ideals. That when the event
full hour came that our forefathers
should found in this New World a ma
ton devoted to liberty and righteous
ness, in His infinite wisdom He land
ed their Mayfower, not amid balmy
Spring airs on the mild Floridan shores
where ease and plenty might have
emasculated their moral fiber, but amid
lev Winter blasts on the stern. rock
bound New England coasts where strug-
Cling with harsh climate, a begrudging
soil and the implacable hate OF the
savage, they were to grow strong.
We do thank God that these lofty
minded fathers Of this nation were not,
like Ponce de Leon, lured to these
shores by an ignoble thirst Tor gold. but
bv the nobler wish to find land where
they might be 'free to worship God"
We do thank God that their rugged
fates de yeloped those strong and upright
qualities of body and mind, granite
rather than palm, which form the basis
| of our whole character as a nation
qualities that in the past have given
tone and shape, and still do, to the
glorious Republic under whose flag it is
one of our highest privileges to be born.
