Here lie the grea te t civilization ever developed upon thi s earth-the finest and be t hope th at all men could be free, elf-governing and pro perou a nd that the burden of e ce ive toil di ea e and poverty could be lifted from the backs of men . Thi great civili za tion died not a the restilt of external aggre sion, but fron1 internal crumbling of the character of it people . The phenomenon \,Vas more in the nature of suic ide th an murder. The people had become o Ju ury-loving and oft that they would not exert them elve in their own defen e. Po se ing great power, they refu ed to use it against the criminal who developed in their own country or those from abroad. A maligna nt di sea e that might be de cribed as a maudlin sympathy for one's enemie eemed to paral yze their will. Having incomparably greater trength than any other nation or combination of nation , this na tion stooped to appea ement and compromi e Lintil it lost its wi ll to live, while its enemies gre\v steadil y more powerful . H ere lies the nation that sacrificed its life in an effort to gain the goodwill and friend ship of its enemies. Here lie the people who abandoned their priceless heritage of patrioti n1. religiou faith and truth for the Sociali m that apped their manhood. H ere Ji e the nation tha t abandoned the faith of it father who had made it great. for the cynical keptici m and athei m of it enemie . Here lie the nation that died from the lo of faith in God. lo of pride and confidence in it elf and lo s of the will to defend it elf again t both it in– ternal and external enemies. Here lie the United State ! -From Chri tian Economirs THE OHIO INDEPENDENT BAPTIST ..
