GA Study of the People Who Would be
Free. This was the subject of the Fourth OF
July address delivered by ex-State's Attorney
John S. Ensor at the picnic held at Hereford,
9TH district, under the auspices OF Eureka
Council, Jr. 0. U. A. NJ. Mr.. Ensor said that
'the American republic was the exemplar of
liberty, the hope of freedom the proof of the
wisdom that broke away from monarchlal
environment and gave to the world constitu-
tioual government wherein the people were to
rule and the laws made by those who were to
obey them" The speaker said that to be an
American citizen was "a prouder title today
than the citizenship of the Roman empire IN
the height of its power"
Mr.. Ensor related the awful struggle for hui
man liberty until it found its highest concep-
ton in this nation, Just when it seemed the
darkest for mankind. "Ihere Is ray OF nope
revealed" 1t is Columbus outside of the
walls of the Convent of st. Mary asking aims
and seeking recognition for the plans which
ultimately proved to be the greatest discovery
of the world, land that through divine
guidance has answered the call for liberty and
has fulfilled its foDdest hopes.
The speaker then referred to the stirring
events of the American Revolution. From
Lexington to Yorktown our land was h!led
with graves, but the flag was kept unfurleo;
The heroric deeds of our forefathers and
mothers thrill US with enthusiasm and inspire
up to noblest deeds. Was this great effort for
human freedom to fail? No from the ashes
and desolation the born American spirit
took control. What an inspiration this should
be to all of us to be noble and unconquerable.
And today, when our flag is most honored,
when our country in its commerce, its lnven'
TONS its energy, its success, fills our hearts
with unspeakable pride, let us acknowl Ledge
the divine power that has guided its destiny
When we came we found the torch OF freedom
aflame. Let us see to it that its light is passed
forward to brighten the pathway. Of posterity
When we came the sturdy oak of liberty, pat
tie SCARED, had withstood the tempest and con
ficts Let us leave it strong, intact, with every
root imbedded in the rock ribbed principles Of
broad, true and loyal patriotism.
ENTER the future with courage, prudence
and unselfish devotion to the cause OF right
and the curtain of time will be drawn bach
ood hold thnre hv the eternal stars, revealing
