inscribed in words of sunshinet.. " freedom to the

would act free,

And bring its primal glories back agaih,"
he drew millions of devised fiillowers to his banner.
And after. he had prevailed upon them to sacrifice
their soul and bodies to his unholy roes, be raised

visions of heavenly light, exhidited his foal linea
