It is as follows: We have ev­ery one of us a charge to keep, an eter­nal God to glor­i­fy, an im­mor­tal soul to pro­vide for, need­ful du­ty to be done, our gen­er­a­tion to serve; and it must be our dai­ly care to keep this charge, for it is the charge of the Lord our Master, who will short­ly call us ac­count about it, and it is our ut­most per­il if we ne­glect it. Keep it “that ye die not”; it is death, eternal death, to be­tray the trust that we are charged with; by the con­sid­er­a­tion of this we must be kept in awe. Many Americans do not see the freeing of the Iraqi people as a worthy charge, but man seldom sees as God sees. Bush has been condemned by the nation that elected him. Perhaps God will not judge him as harsely. President Bush may have had the artist intent wrong, I am not sure about that, but the charge he understood. It is as follows:
