“ This land of ours, consecrated before God to freedom of body, mind and soul, has been to these lowly men the beacon light of a new day in their lives and destinies. Here they came, breathed in the spirit of the free. Some have returned and brought back new strength and new visions. ”

“ Through the Providence of God our nation has been called to sit in council and put its spirit and heritage to weigh in the formation of the future tendencies of humanity. Our President, almost in prophetical uplift, expressed the aspirations of the humble of the world: “to vindicate the principles of peace and justice in the life of the world; the right of nations, great and small, and the privilege of men everywhere to choose their ways of life and obedience.” ”
