We will have to strive niightly for the right, ttrr at the end Is the prorri: ^ ^ ire, And on earth?peace?peace? not a peace of servile acquiescence not a peace of appeasement?bul a peace of. justice, a'peace of ho. nor, a peace of jcry, a peace of good will to ALL men. 4-U ~ 1 ~ ? j iitii tnr icssun wie aiiKti ?
