Next came the building of schools, churches and colleges and.the promotion of education. An era of road-making and railroading followed, linking together the intercourse of families and neighborhoods. Fifty-eight years ago our homeland was thrown into confusion and collision under the pressure of a settlement of a long-debtited question that brought on the Brothers' War. ' , The unfolding of hidden powers and strength of the Republic and the instincts of the human soul, jand the awakened intelligence of our own minds, under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, without ' interference of other nations, soon ended the regretful war and gave to America the past half- century of joy and peace. Since then the United States has been compelled to cross the seas to protect itself and begin the foundations for the world-wide Reign of the Common People Today the work is well on its way. All these June days the great universities and colleges of our cities and states are graduating great bodies of men, educated in engineering and the sciences and for places which they are to take in the business affairs of the day. Let us take courage and plan great things, attempt-great things and expect greater things. A few of the nicer things that Ave used to have before the war are finding their way to us.
