And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? <\/i><\/p>\n

1114<\/b> O Liberty! <\/b><\/p>\n
When Madame Roland was being led through the streets of Paris to the guillotine, and saw standing in the \u201cPlace de la Revolution\u201d the statue of Liberty, she uttered the famous apostrophe: \u201cO Liberty! Liberty! what crimes are committed in thy name!\u201d Of a more sacred name an even more bitter apostrophe could be uttered. The name of the Saviour of men has been used by His votaries to cover the most blasphemous of deeds. <\/p>\n

1115<\/b> Perpetual Presidency Refused<\/b><\/p>\n

1116<\/b> Survey For Japanese Emperor<\/b><\/p>\n
An overwhelming majority of the Japanese people want to see the Emperor maintained as the \u201csymbol of the state,\u201d according to a Mainichi Shimbun<\/i> (daily) survey. <\/p>\n
Asked how they felt about the Imperial Family, 36 percent of the respondents said they had \u201cno interest.\u201d Thirty-two percent said they had \u201crespect\u201d and 26 percent \u201ca friendly feeling.\u201d Four percent had \u201cantipathy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nearly 60 percent of those in their late teens and in their 20s had \u201cno interest\u201d in the Imperial Family while 49 percent of those in their 20s, and 65 percent of those in their 60s or more, had \u201crespect.\u201d<\/p>\n
In summary, the survey showed that 80 percent of the polled said they were in favor of continuation of the Emperor as the Constitution provides, while 7% say Emperor should have more authority. <\/p>\n
1117<\/b> Emergency Regulations<\/b><\/p>\n
At the time that the Russians were first suspected of putting aggressive missiles in Cuba in 1961, a series of emergency measures were formulated in the event of a full confrontation and possible strategic war. Nikita Khrushchev backed down and withdrew the missiles in 1962, but the emergency measures which were signed into law by the late John F. Kennedy, then President of the United States, still stand. They became a part of the vast EXECUTIVE ORDERS when they were signed on February 16 and 27, 1962. Those emergency documents provide that the President, and any succeeding President, shall have complete and final dictatorial control. <\/p>\n
The Executive Orders are to be carried out through the Office of Emergency Planning, and they may be put into effect in any \u201ctime of increased international tension or economic or financial crisis.\u201d So all-inclusive are these orders that a listing of them is provided here:<\/p>\n

1118<\/b> Majority Rule Dangerous<\/b><\/p>\n
All the great injustices of history have been committed in the name of unchecked and unbridled \u201cmajority rule.\u201d<\/p>\n
The late Senator James A. Reed, of Missouri, in one of the most forceful speeches ever delivered before the Senate, observed with great truth: \u201cThe majority crucified Jesus Christ; the majority burned the Christians at the stake; the majority established slavery; the majority jeered when Columbus said the world was round; the majority threw him into a dungeon for having discovered a new world; the majority cut off the ears of John Pym because he dared advocate the liberty of the press.\u201d<\/p>\n
1119<\/b> Epigram On Dictatorship<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2014Abraham Lincoln<\/p>\n

\u2014Fulton J. Sheen<\/p>\n
