Personal PATRIOTISM.
What great, grand and glorious country is
this land OF ours How proud we are Of il !
With what JOY do We look over our records and
see how much has been accomplished in our
comparatively pew country.
How hearts tlirob as we read of those
brave heroes who died that their country might
live But, though feel and realize the great
work they have done and how hard it was for
them to do it, yet ] think we do not much
wonder at their bravery.
When you read of those brave men do You
not sometimes think that Won could have done
the same thing Tor your couHtry's sake? Have
you not sometimes wished that you could do
something for Your Nation, that you could
make some sacrifices Tor your fatherland?
If you have not, If you have never felt that
i
bosom of Washington, then, say, you are not
fit American citizens. or fit citizens of any
country, for that matter The country would
be fsg better of without yeu
The only kind OF citizens America wants are
patriotic liberty loving p-ople; people who
are not afraid To stand up FOR their own and
their country's rights. Glad am / to say that
this spirit OF Patriotism imbnes the hearts of
nearly every one OF our citizens to-day. What
a great misfortune it would be if this were not
Patriotism is the cornerstone of a mans
character. without il he is a mere shell-selfsh
unsympathetic. and unforgiving. Patriotism
brings out all the nobler qualities of a man. /.
makes him love his fellow-men more, love them
simply because they are citizens of the same
country.
Perhaps one never realizes how deep-rooted
IS this feeling until he travels in foreign
country. Let citizen from Maine meet a |
citizen from California on a South Sea Island |
or IN the wilds of Africa, aud they will clasp !
hands. Forgetting that at homp thew dwalt |
