The great hope of a large nuro

he suppressed hy bayonets, by can

perhaps, even then.
The great English writer has as
serted his opinion that the religion
of every age was that best adapted
to that age. This may be accepted
as correct. And it may further be
held that the extent of freedom
which any country enjoys is the ex
tent to which that country is en
titled in the extent to which they
are ready to fight to retain it
Who would be free, themselves
should Strike the blow, is the Byron
idea. And unquestionably those j
who ar> not tree are those who |
have allowed themselves to lie j
chained, to lie oine bondsmen vilh
out any resistance.
Speaking now generally it may i
he accepted a - an axiom that every j
nation and every land enjoys that,
amunt of freedom for which it will
fight to the limit. This may give |
the idea that no country can enjov
treedom unless tlie people therein
are always prepared to defend what
they have by force of arms it ne
cessary. and tliis in fact is tlie
truth.
Human lite is valuable beyond
words. Human blood precious be
yond anything in human life. But
unless int'ii are ready and willing
and eager to risk their li\es and
sited Hit ir blood to defend their li
berties and to retain their rank as
freemen. then indeed the Fates
wili ordain Unit they will tie slaves
instead.
And that lias been the history of
tlit> world. Wherever there wen ;
m n who were wiling to light for
freedom and it was knowi. that
they would fight zealously, unques-j
tionably and eagerly for it. those
were freemen always. Those who
were not willing, who thought more
of ttieir lives and ttieir precious
blood than they did for the liberty
of the land, were soon bereft of the
rights with which the Creator had
endowed them.
The philosophy of the Dcrlara
lion of Independence is true to thm
extent that men ate created equal
and endowed with inalienable rights
just as long as they arc ready to
defend those rights and to replize
that it is better to d‘o freemen than
to live in slavery.
