In 1775, the new year was rung in by the men of Marlborough, Massachusetts, with a unanimous declaration:
"Death is more eligible than slavery. A free-born people are not required by the religion of Jesus Christ to submit to tyranny, but make use of such power as God has given them to recover and support their laws and liberties ... [We] implore the ruler above the skies, the He would make bare His arm in defense of His Church and people, and let Israel go."
Example: Dec. 23rd
"On this day in 1866, Senator Henry Wilson, speaking at the Young Men's Christian Association in his Home of Natick, Massachusetts, exhorted them:
"Remember ever, and always, that your country was founded, not by the 'most superficial, the lighted, the most irreflective of all European races,' but by the stern old Puritans who made the deck of the Mayflower an altar of the living God, and whose first act on touching the soil of the new world was to offer on bended knees thanksgiving to Almighty God."
Example: Dec. 27th
Fisher Ames, Congressman from Massachusetts in the First Congress of the United States, wrote the words that were adopted for the First Amendment to the Constitution, in which recent Supreme Courts have found a supposed separation of Church and State that prohibits - Bible-Reading in schools. Ames once said:
"Should not the Bible regain the place it once held as a school-book? Its morals are pure, its examples are captivating and noble ... and by teaching all the same they will speak alike, and the Bible will justly remain the standard of language and as well as of faith."
Example: Nov. 22
On this day in 1963, President John F. Kennedy was cut down by an assassin's bullet. He had been
on his way to deliver a speech that ended with these words:
"We in this country, in this generation, are - by destiny rather than choice - the watchmen on the walls of the world freedom. We ask, therefore, that we may be worthy of our power and responsibility, that we may exercise our strength with wisdom and and restraint, and that we may achieve in our time the ancient vision of peace on earth. That must always be our goal... For as was written long ago, 'Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.'
George H. Kubeck
