"Is It Nothing to You, All Ye Who Pass By?"
All we need to remember hour by hour is that we are living through
the greatest crisis in the history of the world; that the greatest
number of people are concerned in it ever concerned in one thing
before; and that the most important epoch concerning humanity since
the birth of Christ is now at hand; that humanity is about to fall to a
lower plane of living or rise to a higher one than it has ever reached; that
we can only do our little share toward that rising by stiffening ourselves
to a long endurance. We have proven our mere ability to give valuable
service. What we must prove now is our patience and steadfastness, without
which brilliancy is worthless. We must strike a pace which we can
hold, both mentally and physically and plod on together. We must and
we will be ready, for our own sake, for our country's sake and for the
sake of what the world was created for.
