from my house every day for nearly
three years. But, entire nous, chill
dren, just between you and me, do
not think that everyone who sings
those words is "brave" and "free."
They are not all brave enough to
obey Gods law, to love and trust their
heavenly Father to feed and clothe
them. Christ Jesus told them that
God would feed and clothe them as He
clothes the lilies, IL they would obey
the law Of Truth, and love their neigh
bors as themselves. You and know
that lots of people are not free. They
may think they are, because they are
not slaves, nor in a prison, but they
are slaves to belief In a power op-
posed to Life and Love, God,--the be-
lief Of life in matter instead Of the
understanding of Life In Mind. They
are slaves to fear that they may be-
come sick, or poor, or die. This fear
Is death-thought and only the Life
thought can destroy fear.
The Bible says, Fear hath torment"
Paul speaks Of ''them who through
fear of death were all their lifetime
subject to bondage" Christ Jesus
and Mrs. Eddy teach us that God, our
heavenly Father, our creator Is Life
and Love and Truth, and eis1t there
Is no death. Some time everyone
must learn about the Principle Of be-
ing, Spirit, or Mind, which is God.
l wonder, children. If among the
many poems which have been written
about America, you have ever seen the
one entitled "Our America" 1t at
once appealed to me as progressive
and Mrs. Eddy says, Progress is the
law Of Cod" The Bible tells us that
GOD is light, and in Him Is no dark
ness at ALL" that is, no sin, no sick
ness, no death, for all these conditions
come from wicked thoughts, which
also cause war and they do not belong
to God nor to His children. This
anthem begins thus:
America. America, thou gavest
To light that lighteth all the earth.
God keep 1t pure!
We love that onward leading light;
We will defend 1t with our might;
1t shall endure'
Certainly, America was born of
spiritual thoughts, or spiritual ideals,
the light that will finally light all the
earth and dispel all the darkness, suf-
fering, and sorrow. God aciU keep it
pure and zoe will defend this light
with all our might. Americans often
recall the words of George Washing
ton, the father of our country, and
repeat them in their defense of spirit
ual, mental ideals:
Let us raise a standard IN which
the wise and honest can repair; the
event is In the hands of God.
Abraham Lincoln, the President of
our great nation, whom every true
American delights to honor and emu
late, left this rich legacy Of his Soul
inspired words:
This nation. under God, shall have
new birth of freedom;
government of the people, by the
people, for the people. shall not
perish from the earth.
I am telling you these words. dear
children, that they may make spirit
ual mental impression, Which will
nelp you to preserve Americas spirit
uai Ideals and inspire you to become
great and good, as were Washington
ana Lincoln. 1t was said of Wash
ington that he never told q lie. Both
ne and Lincoln were truthful, honest,
and brave. Washington and Lincoln
united In one firm purpose, to estab-
lish nation which should be gov
erned by God, good, eternal Life, Love,
and Truth, and they succeeded. To-
day, true Americans depend upon God
for guidance, and try to obey His
protecting and sustaining law, upon
which America was founded. This !
will continue to make America the |
haven of rest, peace, and prosperity. |
Dear children, let us help to make |
truly the "land Of the free |
and the home of the brave"
America, America, depressing van
OF all the hopes Of waking man,
We love thy fag!-
Thy stately flag of steadfast stars.
And white. close held to heart-red
Which none shall dragi
America, America, the God Of love.
Whose name is evry name above,
B thy defense.
Tis thou must head the longing
world
From phantom fears. to Loves un-
omnipotence.
Alice Morgan Hdrrtson.
Love never harms anyone, but
)lesses all. Remember, dear chill
lren, that you can be very happy and |
healthy, and make others happy, IL |
you are loving and unselfish and |
grateful for everything that your par
,nts or big brothers and sisters do for
vou, or that anyone does for you, to
make you happy. Did you ever awake
,arly some cold winter morning, while
{ was yet dark, and hear the milk
nan rattle the bottles, as he left the
lice milk for your breakfast,-anda as
vou snuggled In your warm bed, that
vour dear earthly father and mother
lad provided for you, did you send out
o the milkman a loving thought, a
,rateful thought, and ask God to keep
lin happy and warm? Did you ever
hink how many are working to make
,ur clothes, our coats and shoes and
lats and dainty little frocks,--how
many sew, and sew, and sew? And
ometimes they must be very tired;
,ut they finish their work and 1t
'omes to us to supply our needs. DO
We forget to be grateful for all they
,rovide for us? Never think that
'Rying these things Is all we have to
10 for them. We must be grateful.
