es of pain assuaged,
hope revived, endeavor strengthened, and lives saved.

To the noble sympathies of generous hearts these results are due, and
yet it is not in its past that the glories or the benefits of the Red
Cross lie, but in the possibilities it has created for the future; in
the lessons it has taught; in the avenues to humane effort it has
opened, and in the union of beneficent action between people and
Government, when once comprehended and effected, that shall constitute
a bulwark against the mighty woes sure to come sooner or later to all
peoples and all nations.

To you--the people of America--this sacred trust is committed, in your
hands the charge is laid. To none will your help ever be so precious as
it has been to me, for in its proud growth and strength none will ever
so need you.
