DUTY IN DAYS TO COME
And that confidence, it seems to
mo, io tho moasuro of our opportun
ity and of our duty in tho days to
corao, in which tho now hope of the
pooplos of tho world is to ho ful
filled or disappointed. Tho fact that
America is tho friend of tho nations
whether they be rivals or associates,
is no now fact. It is only tho dis
covery of it by tho rest of the world
that is now.
Amorica may bo said to havo
reached hor majority as a world'
power. It was almost oxactly twenty
ono years ago that tho results of the
vf&r with Spain put us unexpectedly
in possession of rich islands on tho
other side of tho world and brought
us into association with othor govern
ments in tho control of tho West
Indies, It was regarded as a slnistor
and ominous thing by tho statesmen
of more than 0110 European chancel
lory that we should havo extonded
our powor beyond tho confines of our
continental dominions. Thoy were ac
cUBtomod to think of npw neighbors
as a uow menace, of rivals as watch
ful onemies. There were persons
amongst us at homo who looked with
deep disapproval aud avowed anxioty
on ouch extensions of our national
authority over distant islands and

But we havo not oxploitod them.
Wo. havo been thoir friends and
havo sought to serve them. And our
dominion has been a menace to no
othor nation. Wo redeemed our honor
to tho utmost in our doalings with
Cuba. Sho Is weak but absolutely
free; and it is her trust in- us that
makos her free. Weak people over
stand ready to give us any authority
among them that will assure them a
like friendly oversight and direction.
They know that there is no ground
for foar in receiving us as their men
tors and guides. Our isolation was
ondod twenty years ago; and now
fear of us is ended also, our counsel
and association sought after and do
sired. There can bo no question of
our ceasing to bo a world power. Tho
only question is whether wo can re
fuse tho moral leadership that is
offered us, whether we shall accept
or reject the confidence of the world.
HAND OF GOD DID IT
Tho war and tho conference of
poaco now Bitting in Paris -seem to
mo to havo answered that question.
Our participation in the war estab
lished our positin among tho nations
and nothing but our own mistaken
action can alter it. It was not an ac
cident or a matter of sudden choice
that wo are no longer isolated and
devoted to a policy which has 6nly
our own intorect and advantage for
its object. It was our duty to go in,
if we wore indeed tho champions of
liborty and right. We answered to
tho call of duty in a way so spirited,
so utterly without thought of what
wo spent of blood or treasure, an
Toffectivo, so worthy of the admiration
of true men ovOrvwhero. an wrought
out of the stuff of all that was heroic,
that tno wholo world saw at last, in
rtho flesh, in noble action, a great
ideal assorted and vindicated, by a
nation they had deemed' material and
now found to becompact of the
spiritual forces that must free men
of every nation fro.ii every unworthy
bondage. It is thus that-a now role
and a new responsibility have come
to this great nation that we honor
and which we would all wish to lift
to yet higher levels of service and
achievement.
The stage is set, the destiny dis
closed. It has come about by no plan
of our conceiving but by the hand
of God who led us into this way.
We cannot tUrn back. We can only
go lorwaru, wun lifted eyes and
freshened spirit, to follow the vision
It was of this that we dreamed at
our birth. America shall in n,n,
show the way. The light streams
upon the path ahead, and nowhere
else.
