America’s Spiritual Destiny
From the discovery of this continent, America—her culture, her history, and her religion—has been carved out of the lines of a cosmic destiny. Not that any nation stands at the center of the universe, but that the purpose to which a people are called may shape the destiny of millions.
America is not a guarantee of freedom, but the opportunity to realize it. It is the place where the flame of freedom is not enshrined in monuments, but placed upon the altar of the human heart.
There is nothing automatic about the fulfillment of a cosmic destiny. Freedom is the gift—and the responsibility—placed in the hands of a people.
