# Poems of Patriotism/The Proof of Worth

The Proof of Worth
Though victory’s proof of the skill you possess, Defeat is the proof of your grit; A weakling can smile in his days of success, But at trouble’s first sign he will quit. So the test of the heart and the test of your pluck Isn’t skies that are sunny and fair, But how do you stand to the blow that is struck And how do you battle despair?
A fool can seem wise when the pathway is clear And it’s easy to see the way out, But the test of man’s judgment is something to fear, And what does he do when in doubt? And the proof of his faith is the courage he shows When sorrows lie deep in his breast; It’s the way that he suffers the griefs that he knows That brings out his worst or his best.
The test of a man is how much he will bear For a cause which he knows to be right, How long will he stand in the depths of despair, How much will he suffer and fight? There are many to serve when the victory’s near And few are the hurts to be borne, But it calls for a leader of courage to cheer The men in a battle forlorn.
It’s the way you hold out against odds that are great That proves what your courage is worth, It’s the way that you stand to the bruises of fate That shows up your stature and girth. And victory’s nothing but proof of your skill, Veneered with a glory that’s thin, Unless it is proof of unfaltering will, And unless you have suffered to win.
# Poems of Patriotism/The Things That Make a Soldier Great

The Things That Make a Soldier Great
The things that make a soldier great and send him out to die, To face the flaming cannon’s mouth, nor ever question why, Are lilacs by a little porch, the row of tulips red, The peonies and pansies, too, the old petunia bed, The grass plot where his children play, the roses on the wall: ’Tis these that make a soldier great. He’s fighting for them all.
’Tis not the pomp and pride of kings that make a soldier brave; ’Tis not allegiance to the flag that over him may wave; For soldiers never fight so well on land or on the foam As when behind the cause they see the little place called home.
Endanger but that humble street whereon his children run— You make a soldier of the man who never bore a gun.
What is it through the battle smoke the valiant soldier sees? The little garden far away, the budding apple trees, The little patch of ground back there, the children at their play, Perhaps a tiny mound behind the simple church of gray. The golden thread of courage isn’t linked to castle dome But to the spot, where’er it be—the humble spot called home.
And now the lilacs bud again and all is lovely there, And homesick soldiers far away know spring is in the air; The tulips come to bloom again, the grass once more is green,
And every man can see the spot where all his joys have been. He sees his children smile at him, he hears the bugle call, And only death can stop him now—he’s fighting for them all.
# Poems of Patriotism/United

United
Forgotten petty difference now, The larger purpose glows, The storm is here, a common fear Its deadly lightning shows. The Ship of State must bear us all And danger makes us kin, As one, we all shall rise or fall, So shall we strive to win.
Our banner’s flying at the mast, Our course lies straight ahead; The ocean’s trough is deep and rough, The waves are stained with red. The bond of danger tighter grows, We serve a common plan; Send o’er the sea the word that we Are all American.
One hundred million sturdy souls Once more united stand, As one, you will find them all behind The banner of our land.
And side by side they work today In silken garb or rag, And once again our troops of men Are brothers of the flag.
And from the storm that hovers low, And from the angry sea Where dangers lurk and hate’s at work, Shall come new victory. The flag shall know not race nor creed, Nor different bands of men; A people strong round it shall throng To ne’er divide again.
# Poems of Patriotism/We Need a Few More Optimists

We Need a Few More Optimists
We need a few more optimists, The kind that double up their fists And set their jaws, determined-like, A blow at infamy to strike. Not smiling men, who drift along And compromise with every wrong; Not grinning optimists who cry That right was never born to die, But optimists who’ll fight to give The truth an honest chance to live.
We need a few more optimists For places in our fighting lists, The kind of hopeful men who make Real sacrifice for freedom’s sake; The optimist, with purpose strong, Who stands to battle every wrong, Takes off his coat and buckles in The better joys of earth to win! The optimist who worries lest The vile should overthrow the best.
We need a few more optimists, The brave of heart that long resists The force of hate and greed and lust And keeps in God and man his trust, Believing, as he makes his fight, That everything will end all right— Yet through the dreary days and nights Unfalteringly serves and fights, And helps to gain the joys which he Believes are some day sure to be.
We need a few more optimists Of iron hearts and sturdy wrists;
Not optimists who smugly smile And preach that in a little while The clouds will fade before the sun, But cheerful men who’ll bear a gun, And hopeful men, of courage stout, Who’ll see disaster round about And yet will keep their faith, and fight, And gain the victory for right.

Under all her topsails she trembled like a stag, The wind made a ripple in her bonny red flag; They cheered her from the shore and they cheered her from the pier, And under all her topsails she trembled like a deer.
So she passed swaying, where the green seas run, Her wind-steadied topsails were stately in the sun; There was glitter on the water from her red port light, So she passed swaying, till she was out of sight.
Long and long ago it was, a weary time it is, The bones of her sailor-men are coral plants by this; Coral plants, and shark-weed, and a mermaid's comb, And if the fishers net them they never bring them home.
It's rough on sailors' women. They have to mangle hard And stitch at dungarees till their finger-ends are scarred Thinking of the sailor-men who sang among the crowd, Hoisting of her topsails when she sailed so proud.

# Postcard from H. P. Lovecraft to Clark Ashton Smith

​Well—no sooner had my epistle gone out of the house that the expressman brought your welcome packet—the "Geography" & the "Lady". Have thumbed through the pages of the former, & it looks as though it promises an even rarer feast than the kindred volumes I have recently read. Old Monty's scholarship certainly is profound to the very last degree. I shall be interested to see how far the "Lady" comes toward justifying the intemperate admiration of Comte d'Erlette & Jehvish-Ei.
"Dark Chamber" & cuttings will go on the road as soon as I get down town. The weather has slightly moderated, so that I may make it today or tomorrow.
This card shews a finely panelled room taken from an old house at the front of the hill not so very far from here. I never saw it in its original site, but have visited it in its present Brooklyn habitat. Another room from the same house is in a museum in Minneapolis, Minn—young Melmoth's home territory. The old brick house, stripped of its fine woodwork, still stands—in a neighbourhood of slowly decaying commercialism.

Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.
I am in entire agreement with the Court's rejection of the 'departure-from-doctrine' approach taken by the Georgia courts, as that approach necessarily requires the civilian courts to weigh the significance and the meaning of disputed religious doctrine. I do not, however, read the Court's opinion to go further to hold that the Fourteenth Amendment forbids civilian courts from enforcing a deed or will which expressly and clearly lays down conditions limiting a religious organization's use of the property which is granted. If, for example, the donor expressly gives his church some money on the condition that the church never ordain a woman as a minister or elder, see ante, at 442, n. 1, or never amend certain specified articles of the Confession of Faith, he is entitled to his money back if the condition is not fulfilled. In such a case, the church should not be permitted to keep the property simply because church authorities have determined that the doctrinal innovation is justified by the faith's basic principles. Cf. Watson v. Jones, 13 Wall. 679, 722-724, 20 L.Ed. 666 (1872).
On this understanding, I join the Court's opinion.

The Ways of Ghosts
    My peculiar relation to the writer of the following narratives is such that I must ask the reader to overlook the absence of explanation as to how they came into my possession. Withal, my knowledge of him is so meager that I should rather not undertake to say if he were himself persuaded of the truth of what he relates; certainly such inquiries as I have thought it worth while to set about have not in every instance tended to confirmation of the statements made. Yet his style, for the most part devoid alike of artifice and art, almost baldly simple and direct, seems hardly compatible with the disingenuousness of a merely literary intention; one would call it the manner of one more concerned for the fruits of research than for the flowers of expression. In transcribing his notes and fortifying their claim to attention by giving them something of an orderly arrangement, I have conscientiously refrained from embellishing them with such small ornaments of diction as I may have felt myself able to bestow, which would not only have been impertinent, even if pleasing, but would have given me a somewhat closer relation to the work than I should care to have and to avow. - A.

# Proclamation 4344

Copy of proclamation obtained here
January 30, 1975
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
In a world plagued by violence and suffering, clergymen of all denominations help lead the human family to the "peace of God, which passeth all understanding." In a time of difficult choices and moral questioning, they point the way to the higher values of conduct.
As God's ministers on earth, practicing the human virtues of charity, humanity and compassion, they bring us closer to each other and nearer to our Creator.
NOW, THEREFORE, in recognition of the spiritual and special guidance of the clergy in our Country and throughout the world, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of February 2, 1975, as International Clergy Week in the United States. I call upon our people to honor these servants of God and man through appropriate activities and ceremonies.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
AMENDING PROCLAMATION No. 4313 OF SEPTEMBER 16, 1974, TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION PERIOD OF THE PROGRAM FOR THE RETURN OF VIETNAM ERA DRAFT EVADERS AND MILITARY DESERTERS
On September 16, 1974, I issued Proclamation No. 4313, announcing a program of earned return for those convicted and accused of violating certain provisions of the Selective Service Act or the Uniform Code of Military Justice during the Vietnam conflict.
Upon careful review of the progress of this program, I believe that many of those persons who could benefit from this program are only now learning of its application to their cases. Therefore, I am extending the date by which all applications must be received.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, pursuant to my powers under Article II of the Constitution, do hereby proclaim that Proclamation No. 4313 is amended as follows:
SECTION 1. Paragraph (i) of Section 1 is amended to read as follows:
"presents himself to a United States Attorney before March 1, 1975,".
SEC. 2. The first paragraph of Section 2 is amended by striking out the date "January 31, 1975," after the words "offenses directly related thereto if before" and inserting in place thereof "March 1, 1975,".
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

# Proclamation 4338

Copy of proclamation obtained here
December 5, 1974
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Ours is a Nation built upon a belief in a Creator who has endowed all men with inalienable rights, and faith in that Creator permeates every aspect of our way of life.
With characteristically quiet eloquence, President Dwight D. Eisenhower once described the central role of religion in American life:
"Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first-the most basic-expression of Americanism. Thus the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God's help, it will continue to be."
Let us pray, each in our own way, for the strength and the will to meet the challenges that face us today with the same profound faith in God that inspired the Founders of this Nation.
Let us pray, as our Fathers prayed, for the wisdom to know God's way and the determination to follow it.
Let us pray that God will continue to bless this great and good land as abundantly in the future as He has in the past.
In 1952 the Congress directed the President to set aside a suitable day other than a Sunday each year as a National Day of Prayer, in recognition of the profound religious faith on which America is built.
Now, Therefore, I, Gerald R. Ford, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, December 18, as National Day of Prayer, 1974.
I call upon all Americans to pray that day, each after his or her own manner and convictions, for Deity's blessing on our land and for peace on earth, goodwill among all men.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.
