of loyalty for ones nation go hand in
hand. Where love and devotedness to
the common nation does not exist, patrii-
otism need not be looked for.
# our government will but command
the love and respect of It's people, true
patriotism and loyalty will be It's war
ranted and predetermined resource and
backing in time of danger.
But in times of peace and prosperity
we are careless about our general well
fare as nation. Because of that dark,
onimous object Immediately in front of
our mental vision, called .sself'' we lose
sight of everything cf national and mu-
nicipal import and concern. Things
that should receive our closest attention
( are allowed to take their own course.
Thus it has happened that empires have
come to grief and gone to ruin because
they were not wise enough to have a
care. n"
| The great civil strife was but the ine-
vitable result of a complication of eau
ses in which, to large extent, the ig-
norance, selfshness, political neglect and
the weak points of the generality of the
people were taken advantage of by dem
agogues and artful politicians who
sought their own ascendancy in a bale
full imbroglio which brought ruin to the
country.
When the rod OF war is inflicted upon
us in consequence of our own errors and
neglect we are apt to charge it to Gods
account who has seen fit to come to us
in calamitous visitation.
We have a corresponding duty to per-
form with every privilege we enjoy. If
we neglect to rememuer our obligations,
we jeopardize our immunities and pre-
negatives as a free people. If we are
not vigilant our government yields to
corruption.
A corrupted government cannot hold
the respect and love of its people and
where there is no love or respect for the
government there is no loyalty, no alle-
glance, no patriotisln-only revolution
and anarchy.
We need to be patriotic in time of
peace as we'll as in times of war.
We ought to imbue the minds Of our
children at home and at school with the
spirit requisite to true, noble and honest
citizenship.
