poor and the persecuted with the hope and
promise of homes and citizenship. It will
teach them that there is room and brother¬
hood for all who will support our institutions
and aid in our development; but that those
who come to disturb our peace and dethrone
our laws are aliens and enemies forever. I
devoutly believe that from the unseen and
the unknown, two great souls have come to
participate in this celebration. The faith in
which they died fulfilled, the cause for which
they battled triumphant, the people they
loved in the full enjoyment of the rights for
which they labored and fought and suffered,
the spirit voices of Washington and Lafay¬
ette join in the glad acclaim of France and
the United States to Liberty Enlightening
the World.
