The equal justice of our laws has received steady vindication in the support of law abiding people against various and sin ister attacks which have reflect ed only the baser agitations of war, now happily& passing.
 In plenty, security and peace our wirtuous and self-reliant peo- pie face the future. its duties and it's opportunities. May we have the vision to discern our duties; the strength, bond or hand and resolve to discharge them and the soundness of heart to realize that the truest opportunities are those of ser vice.
 In spirit then. of devption and stewardship. we should give thanks in our hearts. and dedi- cate ourselves to the service of Gods merciful and loving purpose to his children.
