Pri vate property may be temporarily endangered or destroyed, as for ex ample by the turbulent terrorism - which now holds the Russian people ' in Ita grip; but the Instinct of prog ress is too deeply rooted in the hu . man race, and it has made too much advance, to permit the institution of . private property to be permanently or even long overthrown."

The courage that our forefathers had! We need this courage in America today, just as they needed it. We must save America, as our forefathers created it, by combining our convictions with the fighting spirit. And we should remember that these fearless church goers were thrifty men. They regarded thrift as a co worker with charity. They esteemed thrift as a virtue, of the positive, constructive variety. They saw in thrift the servant of ambition. They faithfully practiced thrift did these men of colonial times and thereby stored up the capital which has made America the richest land ev er known.
