PRELUDE
But one of a thousand voices,
Oh, how can one voice be heard,
When ninety and nine and nine hundred
Are chanting the same old word?
But one of a thousand singers,
What song can I sing, oh pray,
That is not sung over and over,
And over again today?
VISIONS OF A CITIZEN.

EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS (p. 10).
One cannot be a good citizen of Wisconsin without being a good citizen of America. One cannot be a good citizen of America without being a good citizen of the Commonwealth of all nations. One cannot be a good citizen of the world Commonwealth without being a good citizen of the Universal Kingdom of God's moral order. Wisconsin citizenship, magnificent lesson to be learned!
