Excerpt from Beacon Lights of Patriotism; Or Historic Incentives to Virtue and Good Citizenship: In Prose and Verse With Notes, Dedicated to American Youth About the year 1490 B. C. a statute announced a Jubilee, or Liberty Day, in the following stately words: - "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." During the year 1753 A. D., a bell, brought from England for the old State House, Philadelphia, was found to be cracked. It was re-cast and placed in position, retaining the same gracious announcement, - "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." On the Fourth Day of July, 1776, that bell, ever since honored, saluted American Independence. On the 11th day of September, A. D. 1893, at the opening of the Parliament of Religions, at the World's Exposition, the representatives of the chief religions there represented, in turn struck a new bell, as, after his own faith, each invoked the blessing of Almighty God upon the entire human family. This New Bell had been cast from twenty-two thousand free-will offerings of gold, silver, national coins, personal jewelry, swords, and cannon, and whatever honored sacrifice and valor, and bore about its rim, - "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Two additional mottoes, from the New Testament, as the first was from the earliest Hebrew Records, served to concenter all the elements that would ensure the purest liberty: - "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will to men," and. "Another commandment give I unto you, that ye love one another." The above design of the New Liberty Bell, from the government photograph, is suggestive, as noticed on page 408, that at meridian on each Independence Day, and on Washington's Birthday, all bells throughout the land, which summon to labor, school, or divine worship, be rung together, at a signal from those in charge of the great Liberty Bell. Its voice echoes the grand announcement of thirty-five centuries ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Although it isn't the official national anthem, America may be the most important and interesting patriotic song in our national repertoire. Sweet Freedom's Song: "My Country 'Tis of Thee" and Democracy in America is a celebration and critical exploration of the complicated musical, cultural and political roles played by the song America over the past 250 years. Popularly known as My Country 'Tis of Thee and as God Save the King/Queen before that this tune has a history as rich as the country it extols. In Sweet Freedom's Song, Robert Branham and Stephen Hartnett chronicle this song's many incarnations over the centuries. Colonial Americans, Southern slaveowners, abolitionists, temperance campaigners and labor leaders, among others, appropriated and adapted the tune to create anthems for their own struggles. Because the song has been invoked by nearly every grassroots movement in American history, the story of America offers important insights on the story of democracy in the United States. An examination of America as a historical artifact and cultural text, Sweet Freedoms Song is a reflection of the rebellious spirit of Americans throughout our nations history. The late Robert James Branham and his collaborator, Stephen Hartnett, have produced a thoroughly-researched, delightfully written book that will appeal to scholars and patriots of all stripes.
