we have done ou r lIt.tle part.Though sma ll o ur e ffo rt s may seem, yet if the spirit of the best

that i s w it hi n u s be ou r guide, w e h av e done alI that could be expected.Bu t there is so much to be done-a thousand and on e things of

v i ta l impor tance to our cou nt ry 's welfare, that a thousand and on esouls must pu t fo rth every effort-and a conscientious effort-to makethat for which we ar e striving, a certainty. Eve ry s tr ok e mu st count!
