    Each thing that exists remains forever, and that very existence of existence is proof of its eternity. But without that realization, which is the knowledge of perfect being, man would never know whether there was existence or non-existence.

    You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself.... the height of a man's success is gauged by his self-mastery the depth of his failure by his self-abandonment.... And this law is the expression of eternal justice. He who cannot establish dominion over himself will have no dominion over others.

    The universe exists under a reign of eternal law, surpassing the imperfect laws of human government. Such orderliness, such domination by law, imply intelligent planning and purpose. Nothing happens of itself. Nowhere, in the age-old experience of man, has continued order been found except as the product of intelligent direction.

    Political demagoguery is, to some extent, a problem in our country. The particular form this demagoguery takes is only a passing phase, and when our current dragons and inner phantoms have been laid to rest, the eternal demagogue will arise anew. He will accuse others of conspiracy in order to prove his own importance. He will try to intimidate those who are neither so iron-fisted nor so hotheaded as he, and temporarily he will drag some people into the web of his delusions. Perhaps he will even wear a mantle of martyrdom to arouse the tears of the weak-hearted. With his emotionalism and suspicion, he will shatter the trust of citizens in one another.


    Beauty is composed of an eternal, invariable element whose quantity is extremely difficult to determine, and a relative element which might be, either by turns or all at once, period, fashion, moral, passion.

    In default of inexhaustible happiness, eternal suffering would at least give us a destiny. But we do not even have that consolation, and our worst agonies come to an end one day.


    A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW The surging sea of human life forever onward rolls, And bears to the eternal shore its daily freight of souls Tbough bravely sails our bark today, pale Death sits at the prow, And few shall know we ever lived a hundred years from.



    We must have a government which is not only a guarantor of public order and safety and which preserves the right of White citizens to keep and to bear arms, which is the ancient hallmark of a truly free people, but we must have government which maintains an eternal vigilance against the enemies, both internal and external, of a White America.

    So this estate is given each of us to determine whether or not we will merit glory and honor 'for ever and ever,' or whether we will rebel and refuse or be indifferent and not comply with the conditions and the laws and the ordinances provided by a merciful Father for our guidance through life and our protection and our salvation and thereby, by so doing, deny ourselves the fabulous gift and blessing of eternal life. This life, then, is a time of 'sifting,' a time when the 'wheat' is separated from the 'chaff,' a time of deciding who is who and where we will live after we die.

    Doubt cries, 'It is impossible You can't, you can't go on' Faith softly whispers, 'Yes, you can. Just trust in God. Be Calm.' Doubt cries, 'Look down Your path is steep And rough with stones and briar' Faith gently says, 'I'll take your hand. It's beautiful up higher.' Doubt has not one thing to give But 'going back' alone Faith has God, eternal life, And heirship to a throne And so, on unseen eagle's wings, These feet of clay are borne. While faith within me sings and sings, We rise above the storm.

    No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or evening beam but the love and gratitude of united America settle upon it in one eternal sunshine. From beneath that humble roof went forth the intrepid and unselfish warrior, the magistrate who knew no glory but his country's good to that he returned, happiest when his work was done. There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace. While it stands, the latest generations of the grateful children of America will make this pilgrimage to it as to a shrine and when it shall fall, if fall it must, the memory and the name of Washington shall shed an eternal glory on the spot.
