War fitted us for action, and action never ceases Our Laws the Orders of the Day. I have been ghoaen the leader of th Nation. I cannot Justify the choice by any qualities of my own. but so It ha come about, and here I stand Whom do I command The ghostly hosts who fought upon thee battlefield long ago and are g:ie These gallant gentlemen stricken in years whose fighting dais Ere over, thelr for glory won? What are the ordt-r- j I hae In my them, who rallies them mind another host, whom these set free of civil strife In order that they might work out In days of peace and settled order the life of a great nation. That host Is the people themselves, the great and the small, without class or difference of kind or race or origin, and undivided In Interest, If we have but the vision to guide and direct them and order their Uvea aright In what we do. Our constitutions are tbelr articles of enlistment. The orders of tbe day are the laws What we upon our statute books strive for is their freedom, their right to lift themselves from day to day and behold the things they have hoped for. and so make way for still better dayc for those whom they love who are to come after them. The recruits are the little children crowding In. The quartermasters stores are In the mines and forests and fields, In the shops and factories. Every day something must be done to push the campaign forward; and it must be done by plan and with an eye to some great destiny. How shall we hold such thoughts in our hearts and not be moved? 1 would not have you live even today wholly In the past, but would wish to stand with you tn the light tha streams upon us cow out of that great day gone by. Here Is the nation God has bullded by our bands. What shall we do with it? Who stands resdy to act again and always in the spirit of this day of reunion and hope and patriotic fervor? The day of our countrys life has but broadened Into morning. Do not put uniforms by. Put the harness of the present on. Lift your eyes to the great tracts of life yet to be conquered in the Interest of righteous peace, of that prosperity which lies in a people's hearts and outlasts all wars and errors of men. Come, let us be comrades and soldiers yet to serve our fellow men In quiet counsel, where the blare of trumpets Is neither heard nor heetpd and where the things are done which make blessed the nations of the world In peace and righteousness and love.
