small part Of the time they have beer

, ihom In thought and ac,ion to The busi-
ness OF tatir country, IL Will b ing {,
the situation an impetus for untold
good. Most e.FneStly ! urge that tai.
great new value, this tremendous ma
tional asset, which has lately been de-
veloped, shall not be lost or impaired
/, urge that this army OF men and
women who have been the splendid
war-workers in every corner OF the
country, now realize that they have a
duty in peace as well as in war, that
their country needs their continuing IN
teresi. and that this continuing Interest
they owe 70 their country's welfare.
LET us have the patriotism Of Abra-
ham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt
not a patriotism which moves US only
when an enemy is at our gates, but a
patriotism which moves us every day
! to realize what we owe 20 the coun-
try In which we live, which moves us
TO discharge that debt by aiding In
every way we can, TO make and keep
conditions right Ia Amerlca-aDd IN
America flrst.s
we believe that the hand Of God
has guided the making Of this nation. /
have long been convinced that some
time in the mind Of the Almighty It
was conceived that the heroic spirit
which could vision and execute a gov
| ernmental establishment based on uni
yersal freedom and the rights OF the in
dividual should succeed that it should
grow: that II should save itself against
lieavy odds, grow again. and then go
out and save the world. This is the
time Of all times when the heart Of an
American must glow with pride, and OF
all times in uor oountry's history when
the sense OF responsibility for the pre-.
servation OF our institutions and the
welfare Of our people must weigh
upon thinking citizens, this Is the SUI
preme moment
'sThe way all creeds and classes arose
as one man in the cOuntrys emergency
Is the greatest vindicatlon Of our instl-
tutions, and just as the worth Of all
creeds and classes was proved in the
country's emergency, just so the gov
ernment must function equally at all
times and places for all creeds and
classes-for little children, for social
bellerment. for economic justice, for
The rights OF labor. for the rights Of
capital, for the rights Of all, for the
rights Of Right.
I'VE have thought much in the last I
month OF Theodore Roosevelt. ] was I
with him on the morning he received 4
The word of Quentn's death. / was /
with him the next day az Saratoga /
when, with his heart literally crushed, /
he nterpolaled in a speech he was read /

OF cur young men have sprung eagerly /
forward 90 face death for the sake Of a (
high ideal; and thereby they may have 4
brought homo 90 us the great truth I
that life consists OF more than cayy-
going pleasure, and more than hard,
brutal striving after
purely material success. that while we
mus. rightly care for the body ard
The things OF the body, yet that such
care leads nowhere unless we also have
thought for our own soYls and Ter
tAo souls Of our brothers. When these
ralant boys, on the golden crest or
life. gladly face death for the sake OF
an ideai. shall not we VINO stay behind
who have nos been found worthy Of
Ihe grand adventure. shall not we in
nur turn trv TO share our lives so as
10 make in this country the ideal which
Ia our hearts we acknowledge, and In
Ihe actual workadav business OF our
world. come a little nearer together

ITO none does this truth come home
