PAYS Tribute TO Mothers.
Bishop Cook then paid a tribute
to the mothers Of America and the /
spirit they displayed. "All the he
roes were not on the field OF bat
tie" he declared.
1T Is easy TO drift into the place |
where there is nothing left TO do but
aght. where the roar OF cannon Is
the only answer a nation can give.
But as we honor our dead, the re-
sponsibility that is laid on us Is this
to so fashion the form OF the
worlds life-to so insist on principles
Of reason and mutual faith that war
becomes an impossibility. II we
wanted peace without military vic
tory over Germany, We should have
begun thirty years ago, when Ger
many was building her war machine.
IL we would save the world 20 which
our children will belong from such
another experience we must begin
now.
THE seeds OF discord and hatred.
of race antagonisms and national
jeaiousies are already growing In the
garden OF the worlds life. But for
one / see two mightier forces that
can be made to supplant them. and
root them out. one is the gospel OF
Jesus Christine other is the COM
mon sense and the spirit Of the
United States Of Amerioa-dedicated
to the principles Of justice and peace
with honor.
with these two operating to-
gether IL is not too much TO hope
that the men we honor may not have
died uselessly. II We can but agree
that the finest tribute we can show
TO those who won the war is that
we conceive It to be our duty TO win
the world"
