large leniency should be observed toward the man who uses
influences
only to get himself a place near the flashing of the guns."

THE
WAR ROOM
WHEN AMERICA WAS APPRECIATED Kipling
was the American spirit to rescue the downtrodden in the Great War, and he was
one of the last to notice. Today, no matter how much good America does in the
world, we are hated at once and trashed by the world's Liberal press AND by our
own American press. It is a strange thing which I cannot fully understand.

The
following poem was written in tribute to America
when they entered the WW
I as an ally to England: -
- THE
AMERICAN SPIRIT SPEAKS
-
- By
Rudyard Kilping
-
-
-
- To
the Judge of Right and Wrong
-
With Whom fulfillment lies
- Our
purpose and our power belong,
-
Our faith and sacrifice.
- Let
Freedom's land rejoice!
-
Our ancient bonds are riven;
- Once
more to use the eternal choice
-
Of good or ill is given.
- Not
at a little cost,
-
Hardly by prayer or tears,
- Shall
we recover the road we lost
-
In the drugged and doubting years.
- But
after the fires and the wrath,
-
But after searching and pain,
- His
Mercy opens us a path
-
To live with ourselves again.
- In
the Gates of Death rejoice!
-
We see and hold the good --
- Bear
witness, Earth, we have made our choice
-
For Freedom's brotherhood.
- Then
praise the Lord Most High
-
Whose Strength hath saved us whole,
- Who
bade us choose that the Flesh should die
-
And not the living Soul!
Editor:
Matthew
10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. -
