Columbus Day:
Sail On, America!

bebfHd IDe cares Oy HeTCHeS,
Before bim not the ghost of SHORES;
Before bin onl, sboreless seas.
The good mate said: 'NoW must zoe pray,
For 10! The pery stars are gone.
Brave admiral, speak; ,Ubat shall l say"
why, say Sail on, Sail on! And on
from Joaquin ATiIler's poem, Columbus. :"
ON TUESDAY the 451st anniversary Of the
~ discovery of America, the above inspiring
lines of the Poet of the Serras is good spiritual
text for all Americans.
1t embodies our FAITH IN OURSELVES,
our FEARLESSNESS and our COURAGE for
more than four hundred years.
Twice in our history "the very stars are
gone" was true.
That was at Valley Forge in 1777 and be-
fore Gettysburg in 1863.
But there were two spiritual descendants of
Columbus in those days George Washington
and Abraham Lincoln.
And to7those Americans who knew not what
to do nor where to turn IN the darkness and
despair of those trying times the indomtabe will
of Washington and Lincoln said:
''Sal on! Sail on, Sail on and on"
Columbus and his voyage also contain an
other meaning for all Americans today
HE PUT EUROPE BEHIND HIM.
WE CAN and should as true Americans put
w America first and put Europe behind us
hereafter as in the past. We can and should
retain our national sovereignty, our American
independence our freedom of action, our essen
tal liberty.
We shall lose our sovereignty, our indie
pendence, our liberty if we are COMPELLED
to act with Europe and Asia as surely as Column
bus was put into chains when he went back to
Europe
Columbus discovered a new land, new
world
That new land, that new world-America-
was destined to become NEW WAY OF LIFE.
That new way of life was established by
those who forsook Europe and its tribal wars and
its feudal barbarties FOREVER.
They came here to establish PERSONAL
LIBERTY AND NATIONAL LIBERTY.
ITO GO backward now means that, like Column
L bus, we shall be put in chains. ,,A
In Columbus soul, in the souls of all those
who followed him, was, consciously or uncon-
sciously, the Declaration of Independence and the
Constitution, for pioneering men are the sources
of such spiritual conception and action.
We Americans are NEW WAY.
We are a NEW LIFE.
We are NEW DAY.
Let us not turn back to the ways of Europe
lest we be chained but let us, like Columbus, like
all great, free pioneering souls, like the visions
of the founding fathers
"Sai on! Sail on! Sail on and on"
