Said Theodore Roosevelt:

"We, here in America, hold in our hands the hope of the world, the fate of the coming years; and shame and disgrace will be ours if in our eyes the light and high resolve is dimmed, if we trail in the dust the golden hopes of men. If on this new continent we merely build another country of great but unjustly divided material prosperity, we shall have done -nothing; and we shall do as little if we merely set the greed of envy against the greed 9f arrogance and thereby destroy the material well-being of all of us."

Calvin Coolidge once uttered these memorable words: "We do not need more material development, we need more spiritual development. We do not need more intellectual power, we need more moral power. We do not need more knowledge, we need more character. We do not need more government, we need more culture. We do not need more law, we need more religion. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen. There is in the people themselves the power to put forth great men. There is in the soul of the nation a reserve for responding to the call of high ideals, to nobility of action which has never yet been put forth. There is no problem so great but that somewhere a man is being raised to meet it." r: 13 *

Herbert lloover once said: "The world is in the grip of a death struggle between the philosophy of Christ, and that between Hegel and Marx. The philosophy of Christ is the philosophy of compassion. The outstanding spiritual distinction of our civilization from all others, is compassion. With us, it is the noblest expression of man. Those who serve receive an untold spiritual benefit. The day we decide that the government is our brother's keeper, that day the spirit of compassion will have been lost. If we abandon private charity we will have lost something vital to America's material, moral and spiritual welfare. But a simpler answer than all this lies in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. He did not enter into governmental or philosophic discussion. It is said that when he saw the helpless man,

'he had compassion on him, he bound his wounds, and took care of him'." * {< rr

Thomas Dreier says:

"If we are ever to enjoy life-now is the time-not tomorrow, not next year, not in some future life after we are dead. The best preparation for a better life next year, is a full, harmonious, joyous life this year. Our beliefs in a rich future life are of little importance unless we coin them into a rich present life. Today should always be our most wonderful day." * * rr

Charles Kingsley wrote:

"The men whom I have seen succeed in life have always been cheerful, hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces, and took the chances and changes of this life like men, facing the rough and smooth as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb: 'Good times and bad times and all times*pass over'."

Thomas Jefferson said:

"It would be dangerous delusion if our confidence in the men of our choice should silence our fears for the safety of our rights. Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded on jealousy, not on confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions to bind down those whom we are obliged to trust with power. Our Constitution has accordingly fixed the limits to which, and no further, our confidence will go. In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief with the chains of the Constitution."

The fact that a movie J"uul "drr" Alamo" is going great guns around the country brings to mind a famous story about Davy Crockett, one of the Alamo heroes. ffe was a Congressman once, and when called upon to make his maiden speech in the House, the courage that made him a great hero deserted him, and he said: "Mr. Speaker, I can lick any man in this house but, right now, danged ifI ain't scared stiff!"
