France, Italy, Germany, Mexico, and some 

 other countries, we shall have great cause to 

 be grateful for the many blessings bestowed 

 upon this land. What a harvest we have had ! 

 What peace now at home and abroad ! and 

 what great prosperity, both commercial and 

 political, at the moment I am speaking ! Surely 

 God's goodness has followed us as a nation 

 above all others, and well does it become us to 

 be thankful. Indeed, we have only to compare 

 our condition with that of other countries, and 

 then we shall be the better able to understand 

 the blessings bestowed upon us.
