THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, Generations of Americans have thrilled to the story of the first skirmish of the Revolutionary War, when stalwart Minutemen responded to the call to arms sounded by Paul Revere, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott. One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Tlirough every Middlesex village and farm, Forewarned that General Gage planned to seize gunpowder stored in Concord, Massachusetts, and to capture patriots John Hancock and Samuel Adams in Lexington, Dr. Joseph Warren, who headed the Committee of Safety, alerted Revere io sound the alarm. Today, sniveling "hate-America" critics seldom miss an opportunity to point to technical errors in Henry Wadswortli Longfellow's immortal poem: but the undisputed fact is that Revere accomplished his mission, and did it well. A hurry of hoofs in a village street, A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark, And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet; That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light, The fate of a nation was riding that night; When the Redcoats arrived in Lexington, at dawn, the Minutemen were already assembled and waiting. Hancock and Adams had successfully escaped. In Concord, the prized cache of powder and arms was spirited out of sight. By the time the British had arrived at the North Bridge crossing the Concord River, over 400 Minutemen were ready and waiting. Outnumbered by more than two to one, they courageously stood their ground; and it was there, as everyone knows, tint they fired the first volley marking the Revolutionary War - 'iterally, "The shot heard around the world." The British fled back to Boston, where they were kept under constant siege. Forty-nine Americans died for freedom on April 19, 1775; 46 more were counted as wounded or missing. Little did the surviving patriots realize that it was to be many hard years before the American Revolutionary War would end in victory at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. But because of the courage shown by that small band of Minutemen at Lexington and Concord, Americans throughout all of the Colonies were inspired to stand fast for the cause of liberty. Orem-Oneva Times April 24, 1975 LIL.JU JCA ic a Henry Wadsworth Longfellow ( 1 807 - 1 882) Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five; Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. He said to his friend, "If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch Of the North Church tower as a signal light, One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be. Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm. For the country folk to be up and to arm." Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore. Just as the moon rose over the bay. Where swinging wide at her moorings lay The Somerset, British man-of-war; ' A phantom ship, with each mast and spar .. Across the moon like a prison bar. And a huge black hulk, that was magnified By its own reflection in the tide. Meanwhile, his friend through alley and street Wanders and watches, with eager ears, Till in the silence around him he hears The muster of men at the barrack door. The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet. And the measured tread of the grenadiers. Marching down to their boats on the shore. Then he climbed the tower of the Old North Church, By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread. To the belfry chamber overhead. And startled the pigeons from their perch On the sombre rafters, that round him made Masses and moving shapes of shade, By the trembling ladder, steep and tall. To the highest window in the wall. Where he paused to listen and look down A moment on the roofs of the town And the moonlight flowing over all. Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead. In their night encampment on the hill. Wrapped in silence so deep and still That he could hear, like a sentinel's tread, The watchful night-wind, as it went Creeping along from tent to tent. And seeming to whisper, "All is well!" A moment only he feels the spell Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread Of the lonely belfry and the dead; For suddenly all his thoughts are bent On a shadowy something far away Where the river widens to meet the bay, A line of black that bends and floats On the rising tide like a bridge of boats. Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride, Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere. Now he patted his horse's side, Now he gazed at the landscape far and near. Then, impetuous, stamped the earth, And turned and tightened his saddle girth; But mostly he watched with eager search The belfry tower of the Old North Church, As it rose above the graves on the hill, Lonely and spectral and sombre and still. And lo! as he looks, on the belfry's height A glimmer, and then a gleam of light! He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns. But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight A second lamp in the belfry burns. A hurry of hoofs in a village street, A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark. And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet; That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light. The fate of a nation was riding that night; And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight. Kindled the land into flame with its heat. He has left the village and mounted the steep, And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep. Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides; And under the alders that skirt its edge, . Now soft oh'the sand, now loud on the ledge, ',, Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides. , It was twelve by the village clock When he crossed the bridge into Medford town. He heard the crowing of the cock. And the barking of the farmer's dog. And felt the damp of the river fog. That rises after the sun goes down. It was one by the village clock. When he galloped into Lexington. He saw the gilded weathercock Swim in the moonlight as he passed. And the meeting-house windows, black and bare. Gaze at him with a spectral glare. As if they already stood aghast At the bloody work they would look upon. It was two by the village clock. When he came to the bridge in Concord town. He heard the bleating of the flock, And the twitter of birds among the trees, And felt the breath of the morning breeze Blowing over the meadow brown. And one was safe and asleep in his bed Who at the bridge would be first to fall, Who that day would be lying dead, Pierced by a British musket ball. You know the rest. In the books you have read How the British Regulars fired and fled,- How the farmers gave them ball for ball, From behind each fence and farmyard wall. Chasing the redcoats down the lane, Then crossing the fields to emerge again Under the trees at the turn of the road. And only pausing to fire and load. So through the night rode Paul Revere; And so through the night went his cry of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm,- A cry of defiance, and not of fear, A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, And word that shall echo for evermore! For, borne on the night-wind of the Past, Through all our history, to the last. In the hour of darkness and peril and need. The people will waken and listen to hear The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere. V f 1 ! TELL ME I ff"'h r-. in T i 8 .

Rampton has urged Utahns to plant trees on Arbor Eay as part of the state's Bicentennial project to plant A Million Trees for a Million People."

Goal of the program is to ; have a million trees planted in the state by September 1976, one for each of the state's citizens. Although individuals are asked to join in the project, the goven-or goven-or recommended the planting of s "hundreds of trees" by groups or organizations. Thousands of trees have been pledged to date by groups such as Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, : churches, cibic clubs and beautification beau-tification committees for towns and cities. In stirring messages at Orem Stake quarterly conference sessions ses-sions members were challenged to commit themselves to Christ, increase Temple work, fellowship fellow-ship nonmemters, and honor the role of motherhood. They also were warned against smut in media and succumbing to temptations tempta-tions of too much food and sleep. President Ray R. Louder presided. pre-sided. Music was provided by the Stake Melchizedek Priesthood Choir with Robert P. Manookin directing. Speakers included President Louder, Counselors Clifton M. Pyne and Donald N. Evans, Bea Hartshorn, Keith Johansen, Lance Christiansen, Bishop Howard Ho-ward Holman, Lyle Gomm, Leon and Carol Prestwich, coori-nators coori-nators of the Timpanogos Nursing Home, and Stephen Mahoney, recently re-cently called to preside over the Finnish Mission. President Pyne introduced the conference theme, 'Lengthening Your Stride" by offering committment co-mmittment to Christ's example at Gethsemane as a blueprint for success. He said, "We are never tempted beyond our capacity to endure but often we choose to give in." Overeating and oversleeping over-sleeping are sins, he said, and allow our stomach to control our mind and spirit. 'Christ's example exam-ple says 'I will' not, 'I will try'." Under t h e direction of President Pre-sident Louder Bishop Holman challenged members to a committment co-mmittment of 1,142 Temple endowments en-dowments by May L "Reverence begins at home," said President Evans," and involves preparation in getting to meetings on time and staying until it is over." He said coming late to meetings and leaving early is like life. "The tragedy is not that life ends too soon but that we begin it so late." President Louder admonished members to take problems to those i n direct authority over them such as bishop or branch president and not to write directly to general authorities. "Many carry heavy burdens unless they confess them. Bishops are men of great understanding and will give relief and counsel." He warned against smut in movies and television. Ratings have shifted one notch, he said. Parents should review PG movies before sending children, he advised. 'Prepare yourselves NOW to receive recommends and attend the Temple often," he said. "There is an urgency. We don't know how much time we have to prepare." Sustained to stake positions were DennisSchanz as secretary, and Gary L.
