In traversing a period of national stress our country has been knit ~ether in a closer fellowship of mutual interest and common purpose. We can well be grateful that more and more of our ~ple understand I.nd seek the greater good of the greater number. We can be grateful ~hat selfish putpOse of ~rsonal gain, at our neighbor's loss, less ltrongly asserts itself. We can be grateful that peace at home is ltrengthened by a growing willingness to common counsel. 'Ve can l>e grateful that our peace with other nations continues through recognition of our own peaceful purpose. But in our appreciation of the blessings that Divine Providence has bestowed n us in America, we shall not rejoice as the Pharisee rejoiced. War and strife still live in the world. Rather, must America by example and in practice heJp to bind the wounds of others, strh'e against disorder and aggression, encourage the h'sselliJl~ of distrust among peoples and advance peaceful trade and friendship.
