Hav« we ever paused to think that in the short span of three sen- erationa, America has been trans ferred from a vast wildernaaa into the freatest nation on tha face of the flobe? Industrially, economi cally, socially, morally and spiritu ally we have made an indelible im pression on the nations of the world, and everywhere people stand in awe at the unprecedented de velopment of America. What haa brought about thia great progress? What is respon sible for placing us in this enviable poeition of world leadership? It is not well-founded to aay that our rapid development ia due to an extraordinary abundance of nat ural resources, although we have been richly blessed with such; neither is it antire attributable to the exceptional industry of our people, as much as we would like to think so, for as a general rule Americans hava not worked as hard as the people of other na tions; but, I believe that the great progress in this country came about as a result of our free en terprise system—a system which not only encourages but rewards individual initiative. If that competitive system was good enough to build the greatest nation in the world, then why isn't it good enough to preserve that na tion? Let's keep American strong! Let’s guard our system of free en terprise. O the Southern Pineland fre^ - Breathes immortal melody, Like the immemorial music of the old melodious sea: Purer than the live-oak shrines, Sweeter than the jessamines, Is the wild and lonely liberty be neath the windy pines. Nor is any land diviner Than the one whose sons en shrine her In their heart of hearts, though ex iled, as their Mother Caro lina. And she holds their love in keep, And when shadows gather deep, To her fragrant sanctuary they will all come to sleep. From the sea-coast and the hill, They go forward against their 'Will, ■ ■ ■ - Yet they shall return at evening Vhen the weary heart is still. From a bourne exceeding beauti ful, The voice of other years the spirit hears. They will gather from afar, As at evening star on star, O my Mother Carolina, unto Yhee we turrf; Bearing thee as love’s own token, Love with dying accents spoken, Hearts, that by their coming, give the gift of faith unbroken. Nor is any land diviner Than the one whose sons em- shrine her In their heart of hearts, though ex iled, as their Mother Caro lina; To her fragarant sanctuary, To the wild and lonely liberty, They come, they will come home to sleep. For when the shadows gather deep, They come home to the Pineland free; To the sea-coast ... to the hill ... . they come home. PRESIDE!
