President Harding's Voyage of Understanding, Wrangell, Alaska, Side B

This is the reverse view of image number 1111965. The text reads: "SECRETARY WORK, GOVERNOR BONE AND PRESIDENT HARDING AT WRANGELL, ALASKA President Harding was intensely patriotic. He said in his Fourth of July speech at Tacoma that, 'A republic worth living in is worth living for and a republic worth defending is worth our patriotic vigilance against all the powers that would destroy it.' Nothing that any man could say would reveal a higher order of patriotism than this. The President is not only intensely patriotic but intensely religious. In his memorial sermon delivered in Denver on Sunday morning, June 24th, he said, 'I tell you, my countrymen, the world needs more of Christ; the world needs the spirit of the Man of Nazareth. * * * If we could bring into the relationships of humanity among ourselves and among the nations of the earth, the brotherhood that was taught by Christ, we would have a restored world; we would have little or none of war and we would have a new hope for humanity throughout the globe. * * * If we are going to make of this America of ours all that the fathers sought, if we are going to make it true to the institutions for which they are built, we must continue to maintain religious liberty quite as well as civil and human liberty. * * * We have been getting too far away from the spiritual and too absorbed in our material existence which tends to make us a sordid people.'
