perhaps, even then.
 The great English writer has as serted his opinion that the religion of every age was that best adapted to that age. This may be accepted as correct And it may further be held that the extent of freedom which any country enjoys is the eX tent to which that country is en- titled in the extent to which they are ready to fight to retain it
 Who would be free, themselves should strike the blow, is the Byron idea. And unquestionably those who are not tree are those who have allowed themselves to bc chained, to become bondsmen with out any resistance.
 Speaking now generally it may be accepted as an axiom that ever} nation and every land enjoys that amunt of freedom for which it will fight to the limit. This may give the idea that no country cap enjoy freedom unless the people therein are always prepared to defend what they have by force of arms if ne ccssary. and this in fact is the truth.
 Human life is valuable beyond words Human blood precious he. yond anything in human life. But unless men are ready and willing and eager to risk their lives and shed their blood to defend their Ii. berties and to retain their rank as ! frcemen, then indeed the Fatea will ordain that they will be slaves 1 instead.
 And that has been the history oi the world. Wherever there were | mon who were wiling to fight for 1 freedom and it was knowl that | they would fight zealously, unques- tionably and eagerly for it, those were freemen always. Those who were not willing, who thought more i of their lives and their precious blood than they did for the liberty of the land, were soon bercft of the rights with which the Creator had endowed them.
 The philosophy of the Dcclara ton of Independence is true to thiY extent that men ale created equal and endowed with ipalienable rights just a3 long as they are ready to defend those rights and to reslize that it is better to G'c freemcn than to live in sla very.
