Now that this Nation has grown

with trae humility acknowledge
their gratitude to the giver of all

America is today therichest and

leads thespeople, most blest Of all,
to neglect to remember the source

trust in themselves and to under
estimate those influences that have
made them great.
Ingratitude has been called the
