All must get their shoulder to the wheel and push together and we should each give the glad hand to our neighbor who is pushing whether he be a foreign born or a native, a Jew or Gentile, Catholic or a Protestant, or whether he be black or white, and if we do we will begin to realize that they are all pretty good citizens and pretty good fellows when we get acquainted with (quen biết với, hiểu cặn kẽ về) them.
