T
Dur Nation's Greatness Founded
on Fatherhood of Man and
Brotherhood of God.
irrn the growth of the nation
there has been correspond
ing growth In responsibility.
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.
