the heaving billows and tempest have threatened their annihilation true to their religion their country and nd their god they have dared the frantic elements in ants and like men of god have maintained their integrity they have done more when pressed by the unreasonable demands of men rather than forsake their religion they have dave fled forsaken their houses their lands and their homes
