America is shaking and tottering on its foundation. The words patriotism, loyalty, honesty, work, truth and sacrifice have been all but removed from our vocabulary. Terms such as “a man's word is his bond,” “an honest day's work for an honest day's pay,” “honesty is the best policy” are not any longer part and principle of our philosophy. The “old way” must go--regardless.  

There is a planned program of destruction abroad in our land and throughout the world.This planned program is designed to destroy existing standards of morality, religion and politics. Anarchy is the end--if there can be such a thing as anarchy in a pure form. It is difficult to identify and label the many social, religious and political “movements” of our day!  Are they related, does one grow out of the other? All these movements begin to be understood and their relationship to one another is clearly seen when they are identified by the word--LIBERALISM. . . .

Work

Work, work, my boy, be not afraid;
Look labor boldly in the face;
Take up the hammer or the spade,
And blush not for your humble place.

There's glory in the shuttle's song;
There's triumph in the anvil's stroke;
There's merit in the brave and strong
Who dig the mine or fell the oak.

The wind disturbs the sleeping lake,
And bids it ripple pure and fresh;
It moves the green boughs till they make
Grand music in their leafy mesh.

And so the active breath of life
Should stir our dull and sluggard wills;
For are we not created rife
With health, that stagnant torpor kills?

I doubt if he who lolls his head
Where idleness and plenty meet,
Enjoys his pillow or his bread
As those who earn the meals they eat.

And man is never half so blest
As when the busy day is spent
So as to make his evening rest
A holiday of glad content.
