Let self-sacrifice, heroism, and idealism make their irresistible appeal to our Republic until all citizens shall realize their brotherhood in one common Father. . . . O righteous God, frown upon all Mammon worship and hasten the time when the world over shall become just and generous, and by Thy touch man everywhere shall receive the blessing that he needs. In the name of our Elder Brother and the world's Saviour. Amen...
