TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

March % 1775-iPatrick Henry, %,
uttered the most moving speech in
American history.
He found his fellows Indifferent
when he offered a resolution in the
provincial convention at Richmond
for the organization Of Virginia's
militia and defenaes. Angered, he
burst into the address in which Oc-
ours the classic phrase:
g. . Is life SO dear, or peace so
sweet, as to be purchased at the price
Of chains and slavery? Forbid it.
Almighty God! I know not what
course others may take; but as for ne
give me liberty or give me DEATH"
LincOlns Gettysburg Speech, per
haps better known, did not begin to
have the effect Of the Virginian
ringing declaration.
A ew months before Henry had
singlehandedly opposed plan Of con
ciliation between Britain and the col
Onies which would have left them in
somewhat the same relations to each
other that were subsequently estab~
lished between England and Canada.
We know from John Adams diary
that without Henry's fight against it.
the plan would have probably been
adoptd by the government. Thus was
the destiny of a continent changed.
After the Revolution. Henry refus-
ed appointments as U. S. Senator, U.
S. secretary of state, chief justice of
the T. S. Supreme Court. minister to
France. But he accepted q seat in
the VIRGINIA legislature.
