ate for it now. I hope the day will soon 

 come when more will be done with what 

 we already have, so that Congress will 

 see fit to appropriate more if it sees that 

 the money will be well spent. I thank 

 you very much. 



the: toastmaster, gen. JOHN m. WILSON 



Thanking you for your presence with 

 us tonight, I must, before closing the 

 pleasures of the evening, give to you "a 

 wish for you all," which a charming 

 Southern gentleman gave to me a few 

 years ago when with a delightful party 

 we were sailing on one of Maine's most 

 beautiful lakes : 



"Sweet as the song which the robins sing, 

 Pure as the flow of a crystal spring; 

 Deep as the depths of a mother's love, 

 True as your faith in the God above ; 

 With a harvest of smiles and a famine of 

 tears, 



Through all the course of the coming years, 



So sweet, so pure, so deep, so true, 



Be the joys fate holds in store for you."
