all that I feel you've been mighty good neighbors I wish every Community could have the same good fellowship and mutual respect that we have in our town you've shown that although we worship God in different ways still we worship the same God and we're brothers in spirit yesterday hatred destroyed our church but now with your love and labor you've made it beautiful I think that's the parable of the world hatred destroys people and Nations but the hope of the world lies in the sympathy and understanding that each group has for the problems of the others Protestants Catholics and Jews need each other to make our city strong I believe that in the whole world as well as in our nation in spite of all differences we can build a more just and Humane Society Christians and Jews whites and colored people our friends have died in battle those of us who live must wage the battles of Peace against Prejudice and bigotry I hope that day has come when we will stress all that we have in common and work together as American citizens because it's our common Humanity that binds us together with teamwork we can make the American dream come true [Music]
