boy then, but I caught the sparkle

Frankly I do not consider myaalf
competent to lead in this matter. I
am content to follow. We have a
great captain in charge of the rSip
of state. I believe he will stoer the
vessel into a safe harbor. We have a
great leader at the head of the army
that moves against the serried hosts
of depression and despair. I believe
he will lead us to victory.
The duty of a good soldier is
to obey the orders of his superiors
without questioning. No battle was
ever won through faltering support.
