The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 80: January 3, 1918 (Classic Reprint) by George F. Richards Pdf
Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 80: January 3, 1918 In America We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights govern ments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. When this declaration was written, America was resisting the despotism of a British king who, how ever, was not upheld-by his subjects; but it is just as applicable to-day when we defend these principles against the onslaught of a despot who is sustained by military masses if not by most Of his people. Our dealings with Cuba, with China, with the Philippines, and with Mexico; prove to all the world that this declaration is vital in our life as a nation. President Wilson remarked in his Flag Day address that the military masters of Germany do not regard nations as peoples, as men women, and children of like blood and frame as themselves, for whom governments exist.' They regard them merely as serviceable organizations which they hope by force or intrigue to bend or corrupt to their own purposes. The last public act of the German government towards America amply proves this indictment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
