Independence Day
It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion, from one end of the continent to the other.—John Adams.
Our Country
A goodly heritage.—Psalm xvi.
Upon this land a thousand, thousand blessings.
Shakespeare, “Henry VIII.”
On thy brow
Shall set a nobler grace than now,
Deep in the brightness of the skies
The thronging years of glory rise.—Bryant.
