Truly, history repeats itself with monotonous regularity --- for the reason that those who will not learn the lessons of history are condemned to re-live it. There is no evil existing today, no threat of calamity over us today, which is really new: our ancestors faced the same thing, in basic principle, many times. Each time, they proved by agonizing, bloody experience, that there Is only one way to peace, prosperity and liberty; and all other ways lead only to horrible disaster. And each time, the lesson was forgotten with the passing of the generation which had paid the bitter cost, and the drift toward disaster was resumed.

You will find the story in your Bible in the Book of Judges, which records that "the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the Lord, that He did for Israel, * * but all that generation were gathered unto their fathers, and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the Lord nor yet the works which He had done for Israel. And the Children of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord and served idols." Naturally, this brought its inevitable consequences: military defeats, finally conquest and years of servitude under another nation. In the bitterness of their slavery, they remembered the God they had abandoned, and prayed to Him for deliverance --- which He mercifully gave them. But the lesson lasted only 40 years, and again the people were disloyal to their God, again resulting in 18 years of servitude to their enemies before the awful lesson brought them back to their God. And so the process was again repeated, through seven such periods of defeat and servitude; because each time God rescued them, the lesson was not Impressed upon their children, who repeated the old mistakes and paid the old penalty.

The warning was given, to study the course of history before going off the deep end. "Remember the ways of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee." (Deuteronomy 32:7) But it was in vain: those not yet dry behind the ears always pursued what they thought was a "new frontier"---ignorant of the fact that it was only the oldest of mistakes.

If you ask, "How could this be? Harvard didn't yet exist." The answer is that in those days they were taught by the ancestors of the very men who now repeat the same teachings in our great universities. Yet we never learn that the truth does not change according to which party is corrupt enough to win an election: it is eternally the same. There is a God; and there Is only one God; and obedience to Him is the only possible road to peace or prosperity. Every time we let ourselves be told that loyalty to our God and His laws is "old-fashioned," and it extreme right-wing , and that some bright young men who haven , t been able to earn a living on their own have nevertheless discovered a brand new way to run our civilization --- every time we fall for this we start down the steep and slippery road to disaster. All history is a huge junkpile of the wreckage of nations which had to prove this the hard way; there is not one exception. They corrupted large numbers of people, and thought they were big; they armed their vast numbers of men, and thought they were strong; they stole the wealth which others had gained by hard work, and thought they were rich; they conquered their unfortunate neighbors, and thought they were mighty empires. But the degeneracy of char�acter, which is the only thing which can flourish in such an atmosphere, Invariably carries the seeds of its own destruction. Six thousand years of history teach but one lesson; and only the willfully blind can fail to read it.

We have nationally violated practically all of God's laws---and have made these violations the essential principles of our major party platforms, in order to capture the votes of admittedly alien Minority Groups which loudly proclaim that their aims and principles are different from and contrary to those of the great White Christian majority of our nation. They hate our God, our traditions, our customs and American Way of Life which has made us great, and they want to destroy these and sub�stitute another way of their own --- a way which never brought them any�thing but poverty, disease and degradation in the lands from which they came; but they think that they can reduce us to this sordid level, while they will prosper on the wealth which only we can produce. And yet, we continue to follow politicians who have shamelessly sold out to these Minority Groups; we put in their hands the power to wreck the civilization which made us great.
