And there is this: "This is no class war, but a war in which the whole British Empire and Commonwealth of Nations is engaged, without distinction of race, creed, or party."

Sandy -------------------------------------------------------- Mr. Sandy Finlayson Director of Library Services & Professor of Theological Bibliography Westminster Theological Seminary Philadelphia, PA 'Nothing makes a man more reverent than a library' Sir Winston Churchill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Keith Thomas Leonard Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2008 10:34 AM To: ChurchillChat Subject: [ChurchillChat] Election 08 After the results of last nights election, not surprisingly, I am reminded of a Churchill quote. Regardless of context, his words are resonant today. "We do not seek to pit one race against the other in the hope of profiting from the quarrel. We hope to build upon the reconcilation and not upon the rivalry of the races. We hope that it may be our fortune so to dispose of affairs that these two valiant, strong races may dwell together side by side in peace and amity under the shelter of an equal flag."
