TAKING THE GOOD PATH

The media interviewed the second Chilean miner freed, and here is what he said, "The time down there changed me. God had one hand and the devil had the other hand, and when I was down there, I decided to let go of the devil and hold onto God. I buried 40 years of my life down there, and I'm going to live a lot longer, to be a new person. I think I learned a lot of lessons about taking the good path in life."

During World War II, England needed to increase its production of coal if it was going to have any hope of winning the war.

Winston Churchill called together labor leaders to enlist their support. And at the end of his presentation he asked them to stand with him and picture in their minds a grand parade, which he knew would be held in Piccadilly Circus after the war.

First, he said, would come the sailors who had kept the vital sea-lanes open. Then would come the soldiers who had come home from Dunkirk and then gone on to defeat Rommel in Africa.

Then would come the pilots, those brave men who had driven the Luftwaffe from the sky.

Last of all, he said, would come a long line of sweat-stained, soot-streaked men in miner’s caps.

Someone would cry from the crowd, ’And where were you during the critical days of our struggle?’

And from ten thousand throats would come the answer, ’We were deep in the earth with our faces to the coal.”

The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabric. They are construing our constitution from a co-ordination of a general and special government to a general and supreme one alone.
