That is the new vision which leads men on, and if we can make one step
that way it will be better than that backward fall which civilization
took when Germany played the devil and led us all into the jungle. The
devil in Germany had to be killed. There was no other way, except by
helping the Germans to kill it before it mastered them. Now let us
exorcise our own devils and get back to kindness toward all men of
good will. That also is the only way to heal the heart of the world
and our own state. Let us seek the beauty of life and God's truth
somehow, remembering the boys who died too soon, and all the falsity
and hatred of these past five years. By blood and passion there will
be no healing. We have seen too much blood. We want to wipe it out of
our eyes and souls. Let us have Peace.
