If we build noth ing upon this foundation, then our na tional life will be as meaningless and empty as a house where only the TO FIX PRICES foundation has been laid. Upon our material wellbeing must be built a su perstructure of Individual and national life llyed In accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity Itself will In the long run turn cut a curse Instead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thank ful for what we have received, and earnestly bent upon turning It Into a menna of grace and not of destruc tion.
