His voice was persuasive and carried the power of conviction. The audience seemed helpless to refute oi challenge the gems of truth he was indelibly impressing upon their minds. His words electrified the principles which would shape the Spirit of America from that day forth. The name of this rustic nightingale was Patrick Henry.

Unfortunately, there were no reporters present, but that speech of Patrick Henry burned so deep into the minds of his hearers that it was quoted by them for fifty years. Whatever may be said of Patrick Henry, that one speech taught Americans the proper value of their liberty. After the death of Patrick Henry, a note was found among his papers. This great orator had left one last message to his countrymen. He wrote that he was not certain the liberty won at the cost of so much blood and anguish would be a blessing or a curse to the people of America, but he continued: o Swimming Classes PRE-SCHOO- per instructor. 20.00 fee SCOUT Life-savin- and g swimming YWMIA SWIM Life Saving.
