^JlilnL it Over!
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.
