Their love of- liberty is not of a day or of a year. but of centuries. They arb a brave. a fearless. a patriotic. a libertyloving. and a Godfearing people. Many years ago their ancestors emigrated from Holland. from France. and from other places in the north of Europe to Cape Colony in order to live under free institutions. enjoy the blessings of liberty. and worship their Maker according to the dictates of their own conscience. I The Puritan. the Hollander. the Irishman..the German. and the Cavalier came to this country for the same reason and for the same purpose. These sturdy immigrants and their heroic descendants carved out unaided and alone their own destiny in the wilds of the Dark Continent amid unspeakable hardships and privations and gave to the world a civilization as good as our own. Fora century and more. in sunshine and in storm. these brave people toiled and plodded on. and they builded. like the fathers of this Republic. better than they knew. Surrounded by savages. harassed by wild beasts. visited by famine and scourged by disease. in all the long weary and dreary years they never lost hope. they prayed to God and never despaired.
