To Posterity, "The Cost of Freedom"

11/18/2008

“Now Posterity, you will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I will regret in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.”

(There is a spiritual application today, yet originally spoken by John Adams, 1826, regarding political matters. Surely we must Live fully in what our Pioneer died and rose again to bring, and deposit in us, for His name’s sake—and what others now pay a high price to preserve.) 10:49 p.m.
