All of us must be grateful and thankful to him for this noble effort; for in this way he has served his fellowmen well.

With untiring effort and self-sacrifice on the part of its devotees Esperanto will become universal.

Therefore every one of us must study this language and spread it as far as possible so that day by day it may receive a broader recognition, be accepted by all nations and governments of the world, and become a part of the curriculum in all the public schools.

I hope that Esperanto will be adopted as the language of all the future international conferences and congresses, so that all people need acquire only two languages--one their own tongue and the other the international language.

Then perfect union will be established between all the people of the world.
