Show Citizens, Feel Proud of Your Country. Editor Progressive Opinion: We hear a great deal about loyalty and patrotism, but the way that certain people speak and act it would seem that they don't quite understand the meaning of loyalty. First, to be loyal means to be "True and faithful to one's sovereign; devoted to the maintenance of law and order.'" Second, lo be patriotic means, to "Love one's country; and to be zealous 'n defending and supporting its interests " Those who do not adhere to and govern their lives according to these principles are not truly patriotic. Let every American feel proud of his country, and have an assurance in his heart that this land, is choice above all other lands, and that no other people under the sun, shall ever posses it. This great nation will endure as it has endured and will survive: provididing that the land will turn unto their God, and acknowledge him the giver-of all good. By His power, nations have ri'sen, and empires have fallen, and looking back at the glorious past of our national life, it is plain to see that God has blessed America. C. V. Hansen |
