"GOD be praised for the gift to us of Washington, the patriot, the soldier, the hero, the statesman, the Christian! It is 'this unblemished gentleman' who is the central figure of our country's past; the model for the present time, the heritage of all succeeding years. His life was 'right as it respected his God, his country and himself.' His memory is our tie of brotherhood. His name is the watchword of our freedom, and that of all the world!"
