YES. AND SLAVERY TOO! Introduction |
|
The Faltering Moses Nation of Modern Times Has so increased Her Woes and Limitations (And that with such a rapid reckless Rate) That only the Grace of God can Now Withstand To Hold on High the Torch of Freedom's Worth In all Its Aspects and Its Noble Charms! Bending toward the close of Life On Earth , I have no Axe to Grind, nor rude Design To gain advantageous situation Wealth With shameful Cost to my Beloved Land! Nay, Verily, I turn from such a thought To stand for all the High and Holy Virtues Held so Sacred, and Inviolate, by Those Who loved and served and Made our Nation Great! O let us All, Their Praise Resound, Their Works Revere! Yes, let them Now Hold Sway over Minds And Modes and Methods Used to Rule and Guide Our Leaders and our People in this Age! The sharp Decline of Morals and the Marked Increase of Crime in a Flurry of proud and dire Aggressive Humanistic Thought Have Brought The Nations of the World to the Awesome Brink Of Self-Destruction! One Deterrent, Fear, Unworthy and insidious though it is, Gives benighted Man his Only dying Hope! Oh, America, What a dismal, puny Pass For Favored Man - - So Made in the Image of God! So let us turn away from Proud Deceiving And blatant Humanistic Stories of Success Often achieved by underhanded means, lf not by sheer deliberate fraud! These Are oft disguised and cloaked in faces veiled With Claims of perfect innocence and even Magnanimity! Alas, Dear Friends, These False Faces of Magniloquence Have preyed upon the American Public to such An Alarming degree that the people in general Are unable to brook the confusion! The masses, So Perturbed, can scarcely discern between their right Hand and their left! Especially is this true In matters involving Moral Principles! Here's Where The Modern Moses Nation Now Stands in this, Her Complicated Dilemma! Her Glory in the Past Contains the Noble Sacrifices for Good That Again must Now be Laid Upon the Altar! Forced therefore to deal with Absolutes, Though unpleasant they may seem to those Of Humanistic Mind, I herein must Now make A strong Appeal, Not mainly to the intellect, But to the Very Heart of Mortal Man - - The Seat of Real Affection, Love, the Higher Nature That Truly Transcends All Intellectual Powers! - - And thus Appropriates in Man the Mighty And Imputed Righteousness of God! "Ye Must Be Born Again", Our Saviour Said! - - This, the First and Greatest Absolute, Overrules All other Good or Fatal Plans! The quick-sands of Atheism, Secularism, Agnosticism, Materialism, and All Other Sinister Isms have so Entrapped The teeming Millions of the World Today That Their Hands Lift Up in Desperation - - Their Sins to be Forgiven and their Guilt to be Absolved! How shall They be Set Free, My Friends? No Bondage can exist for Those Who Put Their Faith and Trust in Him, God's Only Son, Who sets the Captive Free! Oh, Bless His Name! To Be His Slave Is to Be Free Indeed! In Christ The Crucified All Law Is Thus Fulfilled; AII Grace is Given to Meet All Needs of Man! Yes, The Dictum: "Ye Must Be Born again"! Falls upon the Individual Person In All of lts Fullness, Its Essence, and Its Power; And That Individual, with Unswerving Constancy, Feels Bound, As A Child of God in all of Live And Work, to Be Obedient to His Lord - - It's the Slavery of Man that Sets Him Free! And his Master's Word and Wisdom and Will, In All Redeeming Power, Give Mortal Man His Purpose of Life On Earth and His Reward In Heaven Above! O Come, Ye Volunteers! This Holy Purpose Must Be Strongly Felt And Diligently Exercised by Those In Government, in the Professions, and In Business! Oh, let it Be Revered By All Who Lead our Institutions! Perfect work Is not required of us by Him Who Died To Cover All our Sins and Give Complete Success to All the Holy Intent and Purpose Of our Hearts as we prove Faithful to the End. Indeed, My Friends, He Is: The Way, The Truth, The Life; the Alpha and Omega, the First, The Last, the Son of David, and the Bright And Morning Star! And in my lowly praise To Him, The Lamb So Worthy To Open The Book, I humbly ask that you join me in my song - - A song whose Title and whose inspiration came To me When This Our Twentieth Century Was in both its first and second Decades! |
