THE GREAT DAYS IN WHICH WE LIVE

THE GREAT DAYS IN WHICH WE LIVE
It is privilege alive todayo be able to bear part
working out the problems brought humanity by what is probably
The greatest single change wrought in human aars we nave
seen such DAVIS as the world knows seldom the course centuries
We are contemporaries Of whose fame wall endure NO man
may speak future of Napoleon without thinking OF focn MOE
can any thoughtful question that the place occupied In our
history by the President who made himself the spokesman VI W
forces Of civilization and who voiced the hopes and the aspirations
If the humble and the oppressed all lands will be less lofty than
that we have accorded our greatest
II is good have seen the Of the and to be alive
NAV bewho knows better have died in it, to have given
ones self as thousands of and millions Of Allies did
TO save the world today from thousandfod repetition Oh he
horrors Belgium knew andlet beeveo make Impossible the
of such and such horrors all the days that are
yet to be-
Il is hard for us not pity the Dead hard for us to reconcile
ourselves to their of life and loss OF them And truly
pabe thing the world could be saved only by such scr
flee to its idols of force agreed Yet remains true as OF old
that he who loses his life shall find it, and we have faith the
Justice Of the unvee-and this the one true faith in Godwe
must feel and know of these died van and that
death to them was calamity
There has with this 0ne yet IL aer
all Init an episode in the great story of human development In
Flanders fields the popes red with the blood not only OF the
men who died this struggle but also with the blood OF the men
who followed fought against Napoleon and Charemagn and
julius and fierce barba heftans whose names and deed
and very existence have been forgotten

Of the earth changed but the tumu passes the
sy shows clear between their banks the vines
and eav cover fallen king the woods The sunshine and the
breessrngme keep their wonted comings and go
the great serenes of nature remain forever undlsturbd
ophc as the war will take its place In the minds

Let not therefore, think that the won in vain or that
the men who died died avail That such could black
en- the fact the world that with the coming of the white dawn
OF peace be only tale that is told is really an
evidence truth of belief that the world not puoseess
and life in the world is not an idle thing Tha humanity
can so struggle with itself for believing that humanity Is
evolving for itself destiny beautiful and grand beyond any con-
cepon we That have been willing to die
that Justice and truth might live sound for
faith in the divinity of manfOr believing that to each OF us
life and death incidents We live and die but we some
how know that neither life death without its and its
reward that the end of all is good and
"That nothing walks with amless feet,
That not one life shall be destroyed
