Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much.

It is a great and undeserved privilege to address such an audienceas I see before me. At no previous time in the history of civilizationhave greater problems confronted and challenged the ingenuity ofman’s intellect than now. Let us look around us. What do we see onthe horizon? Whither are we drifting? Under what mist of cloudsdoes the future stand secure? The crucial test for that solution of allthese intricate problems is the sheer and forceful application ofthose immutable laws, which have always guided the hand of man,groping as it were for some faint beacon light for his hopes andaspirations.

What then is our duty? Shall we continue to drift? No. With all theimpetus of my being, I hurl back the message. No, drifting muststop. We must press onwards and upwards toward the ultimate goalto which we all aspire.

But I cannot conclude my remarks, dear friends. That touchingbriefly upon a subject, which I know is steeped in your veryconsciousness, and I refer to that spirit, which gleams in the eyes ofthe newborn babe; that animates the toiling masses; that sways allthe hosts of humanity. Without this energizing principle, allcommerce, trade and industry will perish as surely as the crimsonsunset follows the golden sunshine.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much.Thank you. Thank you.
