ries with it an ecceptance of
President Wilson’s 14 peace
terms as well as other demands;
of the allied Supreme War
Council, which will safeguard
the forces of liberty and de
mocracy against future inroads
of a despotic militarism, and
“Whereas, America’s entry
into this var was unquestion
ably the deciding factor in the
glorious ac hievement of the ar
mies battling for liberty and
democracy, against despotism
and autocracy of the central
Teutonic powers, under the
leadership of our matchless
President, Woodrow Wilson,
the great stateman whose fa
cile pen and calm, well consid
ered diplomacy has made the
victory of peace as glorious as
the victory of war; and
“Whereas, Our nation has
contributed over three million
of her brave sons to make the
world safe for democracy, and
democracy safe for the world,
and has stood in readiness tc
sacrifice even more of her trea
sures of men and money in the
cause ot a world’s humanity.
“Now, therefore, I, Chas. H.

and diplomacy and the glorious
opportunities He has given us
as a people of consecrating
ourselves and our posessions to!
the noble ideals and service,
the unselfish service to a world
struggling humanity. I call up
on all the people of our great
commonwealth that has given
nearly ninety thousand of her
heroic sons and millions of dol
lars in treasure, to attend di
vine services at their respective
places of worship and in spirit I
■cf moderation and religious
devotion we offer up thanks
to the God of battles who keep
eth within the hollow of His
divine hand the destinies of
nations as well as the lives cf
individuals. Let each anti ev
eryone of us thanksgive in our
heart of hearts the exquisite
sentiment of Kipling in the
closing stanza of his ‘Reees
"The tumult and the shouting
dies,
The captains and the kings de
part ;
Still stands thy ancient sacri
fice,
An humble and a contrite
heart.
Lord God of hosts, be with us
yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget.”
