, with love for men.

The world will not accept that message of despair; and millions of men
to-day who went through the agony of the war are inspired by the humble
belief that humanity may be cured of its cruelty and stupidity, and that
a brotherhood of peoples more powerful than a League of Nations may be
founded in the world after its present sickness and out of the conflict
of its anarchy.

That is the new vision which leads men on, and if we can make one step
that way it will be better than that backward fall which civilization
took when Germany played the devil and led us all into the jungle. The
devil in Germany had to be killed. There was no other way, except by
helping the Germans to kill it before it mastered them. Now let us
exorcise our own devils and get back to kindness toward all men of good
will. That also is the only way to heal the heart of the world and
our own state. Let us seek the beauty of life and God's truth somehow,
remembering the boys who died too soon, and all the falsity and hatred
of these past five years. By blood and passion there will be no healing.
We have seen too much blood. We want to wipe it out of our eyes and
souls. Let us have Peace.
