America is a land of commerce and trade, a land of buying and selling, and a land of rich and poor. Bargain sales and reduced prices are a part of our way of life. Our newspapers print stories about multi-million dollar real estate and industrial transactions, and they also print stories of business failures and bankruptcies. Fortunes are made and lost in a matter of hours. This is America land of the rich land of the poor, but most of all, it is the land of the free.
Freedom is a priceless treasure.
This is a paradox. Freedom is priceless yet it is free. Freedom is free yet it is not without great cost. A man s treasures should never become his God, because this would be idolatry. A man s treasure should not be given away, gambled away or wasted away, because this would be foolish.
