imerica Sirst
Not merely in matters material, but in things of the spirit.
Not merely in science, inventions, motors, and skyscrapers,
but also in ideals, principles, character.
Not merely in the calm assertion of rights, but in the glad
assumption of duties.
Not flaunting her strength as a giant, but bending in help-
fulness over a sick and wounded world likea Good Samaritan.
Not in splendid isolation, but in courageous coöperation.
Not in pride, arrogance, and disdain of other races and
peoples, but in sympathy, love, and understanding.
Not in treading again the old, worn, bloody pathway
which ends inevitably in chaos and disaster, but in blazing
a new trail, along which, please God, other nations will fol-
low, into the new Jerusalem where wars shall be no more.
Some day some nation must take that path-unless we are
to lapse once again into utter barbarism-and that honor
I covet for my beloved America.
And so, in that spirit and with these hopes, I say with all
my heart and soul, "AMERICA FIRST."
From a Sermon by BISHOP G. ASHTON OLDHAM
in Washington, D. C., September 7, 1924
