OCR Page 1 of 3Solt Lake Cary,
ONE-HUNDRED-AND-TEN YEARS AGO, IN ONE OF THE BLOODIEST
AND MOST TRAGIC INCIDENTS IN THIS WORLD'S AND IN THIS
NATION'S HISTORY, JOHN BROWN - AFTER THE BLOODY RIOT ON
HARPER'S FERRY WAS TRIED, CONVICTED AND SENTENCED TO BE
HANGED.
1. WHEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE GALLOWS,
HE RODE IN A WAGON WITH HIS OWN COFFIN
RIGHT BESIDE HIM.
(1) As HE RODE THROUGH THE VIRGINIA COUNTRY-
SIDE THAT DAY, SPEAKING TO NO ONE IN
PARTICULAR, HE SAID ALOUD THESE WORDS:
1. "THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY."
TODAY WHEN AMERICA HAS ALL ITS BLESSINGS - AND ADMITTEDLY
AS MANY PROBLEMS - LET US NEVER FORGET THAT IF JOHN BROWN
COULD SAY THAT JUST BEFORE THE TRAGIC WAR BETWEEN THE STATES,
WITH HIS OWN DEATH IMMINENT, THEN WE, TOO, CAN SAY:
1. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY AND WE ARE PRIVILEGED
TO BE THE GENERATION THAT HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY
TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL FOR THE GENERATIONS
AHEAD.
