MAKING A NATION GREAT.

Every real American must be
proud Of the achievements OF his
country and OF his countrymen. We
have outdistnnced all other nations
in the production and accumulation
OF wealth. The civilized world de
pends upon ua today for food. for
clothing, for coal, for OIL for cotton,
for steel and for ships, Soon we
shall have the worlds largest mer-
chant marine, the worlds greatest
army. and perhaps also the worlds
most powerful navy
All this Is vitality Important to our
continued existence AZ world
power. Along these lines we must
maintain tho leadership which we
have achieved. But we must remem-
ber that material greatness alone
does not make apgroat nation. Dur
Ing the past forty years Germany
has made most wonderful progress
along material lines, Yet Germany
In those forty years has all but
lapsed into barbarism, and her pass
ing as a world power is but a mat
ter of a few years, with all her
great material progress there was
something lacking which alone can
mako nation grcat--ahe lacked a
...i.r,t cop9gieupp
Tho example, of Germany makes
clear to America the Importance,
yea. the necessity. OF moral AS well
as material leadership. CivlliSa-
ton docs rot mean simply factories,
houses, ships, nor even academies; IL
means also justice, equity and fair
dealing between man and man and
as between nation and nation. 1t
means the golden rule In practice
That nation is the most highly clvt-
liycd and deserves the longest life
which has the most highly developed
moral sense. And that moral code
is not achieved alone by set dog
matte rules, but by a conscientious
striving to follow the dictates Of
honest motive.
Let Americans, then. strive to
make their country first, not alone
In wealth and physical power. but
also first In all things that make for
a finer and higher civilization. Along
this path alone lies true national
greatness
