Excerpt from The One Hundred Fiftieth Anniversary of Lancaster, New Hampshire: The Official Report of the Celebration Held in August, Nineteen Hundred and FourteenWe pray that the rich heritage which has come down to us, these beautiful valleys and uplands, these streets and farms and homes, the blessings of Christian civilization, of law and justice and liberty, the innumerable and inestimable privileges connected with state and family and religion may not find us unworthy heirs. May we be ever mindful of the duties and responsibilities which such blessings entail. May they ever spur us on to higher and nobler attainment. And may we so live and labor in this our day and generation as to pass on to our sons and daughters a yet richer heritage of blessing and opportunity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
