come to mean to the world. Every
minute that this conflict RACES
America loses precious wealth and
far more precious life. And when
the last note of War has sounded
and Peace again rules the earth
what gain shall be ours9 None in
material things. No one will give
us gold to fill our empty Golfers.
No one will give to the MANNED
their old vitality and fitness. No
one will return the dead who spent
their lives in this Spirits service.
The records will show naught
but giving-and in that will be our
reward and by it will the Spirit of
America have attained power and
place in the hearts of all people.
New ideals, of highest conception,
will hold the attention of men.
New purposes, of highest worth,
will command the labors and
thoughts of our people. Life will
then include all time and not merely
the few days each individual tar
ries on the earth; and living will
be a means to an end and not the
effort to make it both the means
and the end, as has been the ac-
customed practice.
These will be the rewards for the
sacrifices we make today. They
will be fully worth every drop of
blood, every moment of toll, every
heartache and beat that is offered
for them. It is for us to hold these
rewards above all price; and on
this day that recalls other days of
like need and sacrifice to mutually
pledge to each other our lives, our
fortunes and our sacred honor" for
the winning of these rewards for
the world. Thus, and only so,
will the Spirit of America become
the Spirit of the World and the
purpose and existence Divine will
intended should be mans be ap-
preached.

say, Il only regret have but one
life to give my country; coming
through such lives as these and the
myriads of like martyrs and heroes
who went before and followed after
them and are living and dying in
the same way today-taking life
from these the Spirit of America
cannot fail itself and humanity.
1t is we'll for us to celebrate as an
entity the Birth of our nation. It
is needed that we consider often
the Declaration that heralded this
Spirit of today-in these words we
see the first instance of united men
speaking to all the world a message
born of that unconquerable spirit
of onward and upward trend. But
not with reading or thinking on it
should we stop. We must look
upon that Message as our Message,
as in very truth it is. when in
the course of human events" has
the same significance today that it
had on that other Fourth of July.
The same claws of nature and ma
ture's God" are in force today.
The same truths are still true
and the duty of the present is
identical with their duty'' of that
day and time.
When we give these words the
place in our lives that honor and
duty calls upon us to give them we
will gain a new outlook on life.
Then the Spirit of America will
become a tangible thing to us and
will not remain merely a phrase
coined in some exurberant moment
Of enthusiasm. Then we will
have learned that the Spirit of
America is an endurable entity
that lays hold on men and things,
exacting from them service for the
needs and progress of humanity.
We will recognize in this Spirit
the permanency that innumerable
ages and countless generations have
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1918-07-04
If it is the accumulated energy and

force of thousands of years and
millions of lives; when before it
are the broad reaches of time daily
adding worthier purposes and
higher ideals to life; when in the
present this Spirit is fed by a SER
vice the like of which men have
never before been called UPON to
give-how can it failg It cannot!
1t will not!
It dare not fail! Failure would
be a wound nigh unto death. 1t
would shackle and enslave. this
Spirit as it was bound and held in
those other ages when kings and
nations first were born. It could
not die as long as life remained to
any man, but it would suffer sub
lection for countless years. It will
not fail! Failure has no part in it's
being. Nurtured and passed on
by life that could signal from a
sinking ship, Il have not yet be-
gun to fight; or by a life that,
wounded unto death, could com.
mand, Don't give up the ship;
or by life chat, standing in the
shadow of ignoble death, could
