which jefferson, reiterated in
the matchless philosophy of his
pen, which Jackson so nobly de-
Tended and which Lincoln gave
his life 10 preserve.
Jefferson sought a world
where all men live as enduring
friends and mankind as a single
body bounded by a faith in God
and one truth from God.
As IT IS WRITTEN in the
"A Holy Scriptures of Apostle
John, he was so feeble that he
was carried to worship with his
fellow disciples. Unable 10 de-
liver his sermon, he said at each
meeting:
Love one another"
The disciples grew weary Of
hearing the same words and
asked
master. why do you always
say the same thing"
To which John replied:
Because il is the command
ment Of the Lord: do this alone
and IL is enough"
jefferson believed that if man
kind could live this sentiment,
the world could, in truth, live in
the sunlight.
The preamble Of our DeClara-
ration of independence was bor-
rowed from Paul'S sermon on the
AeropaguS, and our entire poll
teal structure was permcated
with the teaching of the Bible.
Who can measure the infiu-
once of this immortal document.
1t is a model unexcelled in its
simplicity. its fearless arraign-
ment of tyranny, and its bold
assertion of the rights OF man.
THE ECHOES Of that historic
i instrument that AL men are
created free and equal with
certain inalienable rights have
reverberated throughout the
earth, and wifi yet find accep-
tance by every government IN
the world.
1t was jefferson who wrote
the preamble which set forth
the fundamental truth that
government derive their Just
powers from the consent Of the
governed. ~
And he added the undying eX-
preston that in a free society
every citizen is entitled TO tho
"inalienable rights Of life. liberty
and the pursuit of happiness. ~
NJ These truths are the fNunda-
ton springs of free government.
These are the words of the noble
Apostle of man.
JeffcrSon's achievements sweep
the horizon Of human cndCavor.
His constructive mind and far
reaching intellect arc visible in
every part nj the government
