 Services have hccn held in the church without interruption since its erection prior 10 the Revolution. Here it was that tho Virginia as- sembly met tuning q crisis in Amer iCan history and heard Patrick Hen ny urge the nation 0 war. In the rough-heWn peWG Of the church have sat George Washington, Thom- as Jefferson, Edmund Randolph, Thomas Nelson, and other noted pa trjots.
 Wherever tho American flag flies today the name Of Patrick Henry who rose from obsrurity to light inc fires of the war of the revolution. is honorcd.
 The following text of the famous speech in part is that given by Will liam Wlrt Henry as quoted by mem 1 bers of the assembly:
