soldiers were drawn up in line at Cam
bridge before the leading educational
| institution of the country, then, as noW,r
Harvard university. and the presldentl
of the college asked God to guide and
! direct the movements of the acolonies in
battle and out. The results show that
his prayers were answered.
George Washington constantly ac-
knowledged the presence and guidance
of an oyer-ruling Providence. sas
From the very beginning. and long
before this country was discovered,
] events can be traced in the Old World
| to show that Providence was preparing
! the way for freedom here. People had
! grown weary of tyranny. and hated the
oppression of kings, and the discovery
| of this country gave them an oppor-
] tunlty to get away. And the inmate
j they breathed the air Of freedom, free
dom sprdng up everywhere spOn-
| taneously.
God, nature. natural law and all sur
roundings instituted and forced, and
| still tnaintain 1t here, and will continue
to dO SD. Self-gOvernment here is not
mere accident or matter of chance; the
way was prepared by the Supreme
Ruler. AS long as God presides over
the nation there is nothing to fear.
He was acknowledged by Columbus
at the discovery, by the Pilgrim fathers
at the inception. by the Revolutionary
fathers at the conception, and by all the
people when the nation was born and
independence gained. He has kept US
safe from foreign enemies and led US
through civil war. He has turned
defeats into victories ami victories into
defeats. Daily His hand is seen in hu-
man affairs to purify and keep this
/ nation. A fresh instance of it was seen
in the meeting of the Republican state
committee of North Dakota, at Fargo,
recently.
This committee met for the purpose
of considering the best way to promote
the interests and welfare of the people.
and like true Americans. the spirit OF
the Lord and the fear of God were upon
them. They did not rest full Of cOnceit
and praise for all their own party.
They did not say to their Democratic
opponents, Let me pull
the mote out Of thine eye.'
But like true Christians, they
gave themselves up to self-eXaminatiou
/ and consideration of the imperfections
| of their own members. And after due
deliberation, with much firmness and
wisdom. they picked a big saw log Ou
