Righteousness must win out. Ger
many says man-power viii win,
America says manhood viii win.
When the Fourth of July comes
this year, patriotism win mean
more 10 us than noise. Patriotism
means good citizenship and a good
citizen Is one who makes his COM
mnniiy a better place Ia which 20
live. Before this war is over we
viii know what true citizenship
means. The strength Of q nation
lies. not in its great railways, or
IN lis buildings, or in It's cities.
but ia It's citizens.
When Cortez was in retreat IN
Mexico, his ships destroyed, he
himself discouraged, he recognix-
cd the face OF his old shipbuilder
and took courage, for he could
build more ships.
A nation may come and lay
waste our last village, trample our
last head Of wheat into the
ground. but they have not taken
from as our greatest glory. our
strongest wall Of defense, for a
nations final victory rests upon
the character Of its citizenship.
We are not so far advanced COM
mercially, we are just old fashion
ed enough 60 believe, BLESSED is
that Nation whose God is the
Lord.
AS America thinks today the
world will think tomorrow. Our
sturdy forefafhcrs did not land on
the bleak New England shores by
chance. Those soldiers did not
leave their foot prints ia the
SHOWS mt Valley Forge without
some great meaning. We thot The
civil war was a conflict between
the North and South, but we
found the smoke arising from the
battle Of Gettysburg to be the
smoke Of an altar. erected for the
fusing OF nation that IL might
march onward Interpreting
greater freedom. Why do we
make such great conflict, such
sacrificesl Why this conflict Z
Not for land, not for money, but
for humanity. for Righteousness.
We do not fight such cause with
out the approval of God, aud we
can say today, Onward Christian
Soldiers marching 10 war, with
the Cross Of Jesus going on be-
fore. =
Why do we at home give and
sacrificeg Because every star on
that service flag represents a son
and they are fighting for us. I
heard man say recently, ais he
saw soldiers entraining for some
canionment, Am worth dying
for. =
America today is making herself
it. If she is not already, that these
soldiers may not die in vain. God
help us 10 do nothing to prolongI
this war and make it necessary to-
place more gold stars on that SER
vice flag.
Lloyd George says Now tha.
we are ia this war, the shortest
way out is forward. We owe it
to our soldier living and dead
it is our suofeme duty to bend
every possible effort to win and
end this war.
