rather than negates, that faith.

It was the little people who stuck with Jesus Christ, and through myriad adversities carried out his teachings to where today it remains the only organized force for good in the world. :

It was the little people who stormed the Bastile and brought democracy to France. It was the little people who rallied to Washington and the American leaders of the Revolution.

It was the little people who followed Lincoln to victory over an unsocial force. ;

Down through the ages the little people who have been tramped on, hoodwinked, cheated, murdered, and subdued, but when the occasion demanded, they arose to that occasion and beat down the forces of reaction. They have remained dormant over great periods of time, and just when hope seemed to vanish from the horizon of the earth, they came through and brought order out of chaos.

Leaders are developed by the crisis at hand. They do not manufacture the crisis, yet a fiery word from the mouth of a sage can turn the tide of battle ... of social thinking. And surprisingly enough, these vital words come from little people, and are condemned, in many instances, by the leaders at hand.

Tom Paine’s ‘‘Common Sense” turned the American Revolution from a protest against too strict an application of the law into a fight for freedom and democracy, yet Tom Paine was too “hot a potato” to be placed in the government his efforts had caused to be established. Harriett Beecher Stowe turned an apathetic North into a conscious force. Henrik Ibsen gave order to the fight for women’s suffrage, and on and on. It’s been the little people who have fought to preserve and extend man’s rights. It’s been the little people who have caused the great inventions in the world, not the engineers. Because of these facts, I do not condemn the man of idea, no matter how far down the line of social attainment he may be. I cannot join the mob of reaction, neither can I give immediate credance to the theories of every person who has one. If I'm to be honest with myself in the light of history, I must develop a tolerance toward mankind, not a conservatism that shuts out all light for the new or untried.

- When Grey wrote his “Elegy to a Churchyard” he spoke true words when he said, “many an unsung Milton lies beneath this slab,” for our common experiences teach us that many a Milton has his songs unsung. And so in the heat of political battle I do not fire to the fever of campaign. I do not believe the world, our country, our state or our county will go to the dogs if John X doesn’t get in. I believe in the people. To- me, it’s the only safeguard our democracy possesses.
