when God Saved Nation in the
Fight from Egypt many Of the chill
dren Of Israel became faint hearted
and would gladly have turned back To
their oppressors had II not been for
public sentiment and the inspirational
courage Of their leaders. When disas-

lie will show to you today; for the
Egyptians whom yc have seen today
ye will see them no more forever y
Here was courage through faith in
God and His justice.

think OF two years ago or OF today, "

her martyrdoH, OF her oppression, OF OF
