VX1HOEVER attempts to
w "open the futures por-
w tails with the past's
blood-rusted key" will expert
ence a signal failure. The de-
mand Of our people for a Ma
tional Anthem should be con-
sidered. Americans should be
granted their inalienable right
to use words and music which
express sentiments suggestive
of ''life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness" according to
the dictates of conscience,
the rights which are guaran-
teed by the Constitution, while
another class of thinkers should
be permitted to give utterance
to their sentiments. This privi-
lege will result in classification,
and there will be no further
doubt as to the law-abiding
American.
The resistance to spiritual
ideals, which progress, the law
of God has aroused and the eff
forts to compel recognition and
acceptance of the un-American,
outgrown, and unworthy song,
"The Star-Spangled Banner,
reveal the fact that the hour
has arrived when the people are
called upon to choose anthems
which shall be acknowledged as
National Hymns and to estab-
lish them in the annals of his
tory. ~
The responsibility is grave.
Upon the shoulders of our rep
resentatives, who are chosen
by the people to maintain
Americas standard and ad-
vance the nation toward life,
liberty, and happiness, rests a
sacred trust. The tocsin has
sounded. Truth, seemingly
crushed to earth. is appearing
and demanding Her throne
Her eternal dominion and
righteous reign. Up to the
present hour, the history of
America chronicles experiences
which have attended her con-
ception. America is now in
trauail, paining to be delivered.
The birth of this great nation,
America, under God, shall es-
tablish the brotherhood of man.
Evil thinkers and doers, having
masqueraded so long and so
seductively as Truths repre-
sentatives, are all ascending the
scaffold for standardization.
Fear and hatred, which have
separated brethren and caused
the good to shed the unavail-
ing tear, are seen to quau be-
fore the oncoming Christ, who
demands recognition of the law
of God, the righteous Judge,
and restitution of the rights of
man.
George Washington, the faith
er of our country, put his trust
in "the divine Author" of be-
ing, the eternal Father, the AL
mighty God, when he acknowl-
edged his allegiance to God and
His Christ and left this injunc-
tion to Americans: "Let us
raise a standard to which the
wise and honest can repair; the
event is in the hands of God"
This great patriot and Presi-
dent Hves, and his words are as
audible to-day as when he ut
tered them; and they are heard
by all having ears attuned to
Righteousness.
Christ Jesus, the great Dem
onstrator of eternal Life and
Love, lives. His words have
rung down the centuries and
are to-day reverberating
Truths mighty arguments for
life, liberty of the sons of
God," and the power of love.
which destroys hate. These
mental, spiritual wireless mes
sages are rolling down from
inland mountain to seaboard
town." and are heard and un-
derstood by all who keep
abreast with Truth.
Mankind seems to I've asleep
in the Adam-dream Of life in
matter, unconscious of the fact
that man is a mental being,
governed either by the Mind of
Christ, Truth, or by the So
called carnal mind, which Jesus
designated as a liar. To-day
the voice of Christ, the master
Metaphysician and the Way
shower to eternal Life, is heard,
demanding, Choose ye this
