Grown persons are of course in an

it is not so long ago, when our boys
were gathered here to take the vessels

brought the nation of America togeth-
er, body and soul, as it had never
been before. The splendid outcome
of the war was the removal of barri-
ers, the broadening of views and the
widening of visions. We find we are
on one plane and bound together by
the bond of America. Your banner

up their lives that this nation might
