It is in such contemplations, my fellow countrymen, which are' not exhaustive: but only representative, that I find ample warrant for satisfaction and encouragement. We should not let the much that is, to obscure the much which has been done. The past and present show faith and hope and courage fully justified. Here stands our country, an example of tranquility at home, patron of tranquility abroad. Here stands its Government, aware of its hight but obedient t8 its conscience. Here it will continue to stand, eeeking peace and property, solicitous for the welfare of the wage earner, promoting enterprise, developing. waterways and natural resources, attentive to the intuitive counsel of Womanhood, encouraging education, Gosiring the advancement of religion, supporting the cause of justice and honor among the nations, America seeks no earthly empire built blood and force. No ambition, no temptation, lures her to thought of foreign dominions. The legions which she sends forth are armed, not. with the sword, but with the cross. The higher state to which she secks tthe allegiance of all mankind is not. of human, but of divine origin. She cherishes no purpose save to merit the favour of Almighty God."
