"Our Country"
"OUR COUNTRY"
OUR COUNTRY STANDS ON THE FOUNDATION ON WHICH IT WAS
BUILT AND WITH OUT THIS FOUNDATION IT WOULD BE CAST------
AWAY TO DIE AND WILT. WHAT IS THIS FOUNDATION I SPEAK OF
THAT HOLDS US TOGETHER WITH SUCH A MIGHTY GRASPING --
HAND? IT IS TOGETHERNESS WITH GOD AND OUR FELLOW--------
MAN.
BUT THE ENEMY HAS FOUND OUT OUR SECRET AND HAS ---------
SET OUT TO WASH IT AWAY, BY ADVOCATING VIOLENCE ----------
AMOUNG OUR PEOPLE NIGHT AND DAY.
OUR COUNTRY CANNOT AND MUST NOT STAND-BY WHILE THEY
DELIVER SUCH A DEADLY CRUSH, OR THEY SHALL INDEED -----
SUCCEED IN THEIR PLAN TO BURY US.
