THE ULTIMATE FREEDOM

Jesus Christ said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free" (John 8: 32).

On the issue of right and wrong William Penn noted: "Right

men be for it." He believed in absolutes.

Native Americans feasted, prayed, played, and sang songs to God.
Many will not be taught that in his first Thanksgiving Day
proclamation in 1789, President George Washington said, "It is the
