will keep the home fires of De-:
mocracy burning, and use our ef- ,
forts in their cause, in order that
their service and struggle, may

lead us all on as a pillar of cloud
and of fire to the shining city of
brotherhood, whose ways are
peace, whose citizenship rests only
on character and its laws on hu
man good." ,
