 All Must Guard Tongue
 Fellow Citizens:-
 This is a time when anyone who rises to speak in public to his fellow American citizens. must do SO with a feeling of heavy responsibility.

I re member the distress, the suffering. tn fear. the horrors of the great civil war But have lived, thank God, to sec thi horror, this distress, this fear, thi suffering pass away. and have beheli the wonderful prosperity of my coun try, and have seen it grow into one o the great powers of the world. Younge men may tremble for the future O this country. but l have nothing bu hope. when I think of what we hay already passed through, for I can SC no trouble in the future which ca equal, much less surpass. those whic have afflicted us in days gone by Thi nation arose from that struggl stronger and greater than ever. those dark days, the history of Amer ica hung on the point of a spear bu an over-rulng Providence whic guides and makes history saw to that the solution was toward a great CT freedom. a greater progress and greater liberty and the greater en franchisement of man, and the sam over ruling Providence will safel guide this great country in the future Take courage. men and women. talk courage. Here we intend to live. Her we intend to die.
