" t ,

WEALTH and treasure are material estate. They are the heritage of diligence and good fortune. But life, liberty and happiness are above all these. They are the possessions of Heaven which God alone bestows, and only He may rightfully take away. So it is fitting and natural, when a sanguinary power, conceived in cunning and nurtured upon blind submissiveness, challenges the very right of God, that the world should turn in wrath against such blasphemy. Wealth and treasure are this land's possessions. We are proud to think that this is largely so because the divine principles upon which life, liberty and happiness are predicated have been in diligence and good fortune our earnest precepts.

But as this great estate was in the making, we had no dreams of a d-y when we might pour forth this wealth and treasure for treasures far more godly. It is today our privilege to do this, without reserve, unstintingly. And it is our privilege to see this wealth and treasure go forth hallowed by its own great purpose for it expends itself not for selfish gain nor mean advantage, but that men throughout the world may hereinafter dwell in peace,. secure in the knowledge that the life, liberty and happiness given them by God, may not, at the whim of some perverted human agency, be ruthlessly snatched away. And so as you inscribe your name upon a subscription blank for Liberty Bonds to-day, your hand pours forth the treasure of the land, which returning will bring back with it fourfold the treasures of Heaven, life, liberty and happiness, and the gratitude of men saved from servitude and degradation.
