DECEMBER 18 DAY 1870 CONSECUTIVE NIGHTS OF PRAYER
MAY WE REMEMBER!
“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph”
–The American Crisis, December, 1776.
In today’s era of hostility toward freedoms of religion and conscience, it is important to be reminded of challenges Americans have faced in the past.
At the beginning of the Revolutionary War, as the American army was being chased out of New York and New Jersey, Thomas Paine, an aide-de-camp to General Nathanael Greene, anonymously wrote “The American Crisis,” filled with historical and Biblical references.
In the freezing cold, not having a table in camp, Paine used the head of a drum for his desk.
He signed the it “Common Sense,”
It was immediately published in the Pennsylvania Journal, December 19, 1776.
General George Washington was so moved by “The American Crisis” that he ordered it read out loud to his troops, rallying them not to disperse at the end of the year when their six-month enlistment was up.
This was vital to keep the army together prior to the Crossing of the Delaware River and the Battle of Trenton.
In “The American Crisis,” Thomas Paine wrote:
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls.
The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country;
but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly … Heaven knows how to put a price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated Paine went on:
“Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right – not only to TAX – but ‘to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,’ and if … that … is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery … So unlimited a power can belong only to God …
God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction … who have so earnestly … sought to avoid the calamities of war …
… Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world … to the care of devils …
I cannot see on what grounds the King of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker …”
Paine wrote further:
“‘Tis surprising to see how rapidly a panic will sometimes run through a country. All nations and ages have been subject to them.
Britain has trembled like an ague – fever – at the report of a French fleet of flat-bottomed boats; and in the – fifteenth – century the whole English army, after ravaging the kingdom of France, was driven back like men petrified with fear … by a few broken forces … headed by a woman, Joan of Arc.
Would that heaven might inspire some Jersey maid to spirit up her countrymen and save her fair fellow sufferers from ravage and ravishment! …”
