As Sons of America, we must be be-
levers in the American republic, willir <
to trust all that we have, all that we
hope for, under the protection of the
American flag. For over one hundred
years it has stood for the only Lind of
liberty that was worth anything, and we
should feel that under its protecting folds
human liberty VIII stand a better chance
than under any other banner. We should
have no patience with those who would
stay its onward march. Wherever it has
been raised there it should stay to es-
tablish peace. and give liberty and civil
ization and equal rights II all the people
over whom it waves. prDc'aiming lD-
erty throughout the world let the Amer
lean republic go forw0rd in the fear OF
God and nothing else. Wherever itsNiag
floats let it wave as a beacon light of
liberty.
