Partisanship on those changes. That starts tonight at 8 00 p. M. Eastern. Enjoy American History tv this week and every weekend on cspan3. Causes my mind to go back to the truth we learned at home, beliefs would shake my paths and their guidance of their children. Love of god, fairness in human relations, independence, and responsibility concern for the welfare of others and conviction that each free individual could, through his own efforts, achieve a full life. It is a firm duty of each of our free citizens to make the cause of his country before the comforts of himself. We must be ready to dare all for our country, for history does not trust the freedom to the weak, we must be willing individually and as a nation to accept whatever sacrifices may be required of us.

I know something of the solemn responsibility of leading a crusade. I have led one. [
