I WHAT IS THE PROMISE OF AMERICAN LIFE?
The average American is nothing if not patriotic.

"The Americans are filled," says Mr.Emil Reich in his "Success among the Nations," "with such an implicit and absolute confidence in their Union and in their future success that any remark other than laudatory is inacceptable to the majority of them.

We have had many opportunities of hearing public speakers in America cast doubts upon the very existence of God and of Providence, question the historic nature or veracity of the whole fabric of Christianity; but never has it been our fortune to catch the slightest whisper of doubt, the slightest want of faith, in the chief God of America--unlimited belief in the future of America." Mr.Reich's method of emphasis may not be very happy, but the substance of what he says is true.

The faith of Americans in their own country is religious, if not in its intensity, at any rate in its almost absolute and universal authority.

It pervades the air we breathe.
