Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some American Evils and Their Remedies: A Series of Five Short Religio-Secular Sunday Evening Lectures Delivered From the Pulpit of the First Christian Church, Emporia, Kan;, In the Summer of 1889 "My country, ´t is of thee, Sweet land of liberty, - Of thee I sing; Land where my fathers died, Land of the pilgrim´s pride, From every mountain side, Let freedom ring!" Samuel F. Smith. America is to-day the king of nations. Though youngest among the giants of earth, our nation is the most intelligent, the most wealthy, and, consequently, the most powerful of all. Herein lies our danger. The great nations of antiquity did not decline and fall while ignorant, poor, and weak, but after they had attained to mightiness, and in that mightiness waxed corrupt. History repeats itself. To the student of the times no fact is more patent than that America is rapidly becoming America´s worst enemy. It is desired in these five short lectures to point out a few of America´s evils, and to propose what shall seem to be the most certain and speedy remedy for each. The author does not pretend to be exhaustive, but simply suggestive. He aims at an agitation. If he shall succeed in arousing one thoughtful mind to an appreciative sense of the awful dangers threatening our national fabric, his work shall not have been in vain. What a glorious land is ours!
