While we have reached the

Mr.. Coolidge continued. Although
our government is sound and our

disregard the obligations of citizen

lence and crime are altogether too
sufficient to require us to put forth
all our efforts to work toward their
elimination.
But we should not be discourag

human limitations and handicapped
by human weakness. We are also
possessors of human strength. In
