184 FAMOUS LIVING AMERICANS treatment on both sides, for law and order. He has stood for the preservation of onr national resources and has been the honorary president of the National Conservation Association. He has been active in the canse of international peace. A few years ago he made a trip around the world which cul- minated in a message of peace from the American people to Japan and in bringing home to us assurances of peace from the Japanese. No one could more fittingly bear such a message. He bears in his appearance and in his whole personality the stamp of a man of absolute sincerity, the mark of one who is always at peace with himself and with the world. Simple in his tastes, free from false pretense, serene in his religious convictions, lofty in his ideals, he is the embodiment of the themes upon which he has written and spoken, The Happy Life^ and The Durable Satisfactions of Life. He and others like him are greater than the great works which they have wrought, they are themselves our nation's greatest achievements.
