The raw experiment of a nation framed from the skel eton colonlea of the eastern seaboard ha proved the greatest suc cess In government the world haa evr pnown. Democracy alt at the tablea tf the land today. Brotherhood asks Its helping from the amply filled boards of the American home. Theee two attrlbatea of the American people fully expreaa the secret of America's access as nation. The frowth of the nation haa been In accord with the extension of theee Idee a. They are froth home Ideas, and therefore they Br both Ideaa that expreaa the Inner plrlt of the day of thanksgiving. The fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man theee were the leading conceptions of the Pilgrim Fa thers. They are the leading concep tions of the sons of those fathers to 4ay. They are the conceptions that can never be made hackneyed by hypo critical nse or by designing abuse. They will stand forth la the genius and action of the American people un til each year shall add praise to praise n the measure of the fullness of rea sons for the giving of thanks. Peace, provision, protection these are the prised possessions of a na tion whose one aim Is to exalt the ends of human liberty, to extend hu- anan democracy and to exalt the Ideals of human equality. As this nation touches the world at large It doea so through Its leading national concep tions, and only when these are vitally assailed can It take up arms for Its wn defense. It has the obligation testing upon It to conserve the true Seeds of liberty, and this ran be done Mly by Insisting upon the sacredness ftf human lights and human opportu nities. Hence the day set aside for Canka la a day of pure and unadul rated Americanism, Into which no lien sentiment can possibly enter. Bene It la that every head of the family In acting In his capacity at the head of the family board becomes the priest of the things made precious In the life of the country and of which mention Is made as thanksgiving themes of the day. No more can the nation depart from Its lofty mission and progressive Ideals than can the arth swing away from the solar at traction. The day of home happiness, the day of praise, the day of felicity to a sacred and singular day In the annals of American progress and Amer ican world Influence.
