Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walked'st on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
O Trinity of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Useful Idiots
http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2010/07/100624_doc_useful_idiots_lenin.shtml
"But by the 1930s, when the U.S. and other industrialized nations were enduring the Great Depression-a crisis that many believed marked the 'death throes' of capitalism-sympathy for Communism and Soviet Russia expanded markedly. Leftist writers like Beatrice and Sydney Webb and New York times writer Walter Duranty offered rosy assessments of Communism under Lenin and Stalin. (Years later, it was revealed that Duranty was actually being blackmailed by the Soviets throughout his stint in Moscow.) Journalists and Lenin admirer Lincoln Steffens famously pronounced in 1921, 'I have seen the future and it works'" Mona Charen, "Useful Idiots," p.15

William Jennings Bryan: No Crown of Thorns, No Cross of Gold!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Cross_of_gold_speech_cartoon.jpg
"...which side shall the Democratic Party fight. Upon the side of the idle holders of idle capital, or upon the side of the struggling masses? That is the question that the party must answer first; and then it must be answered by each individual hereafter. The sympathies of the Democratic Party, as described by the platform, are on the side of the struggling masses, who have ever been the foundation of the Democratic Party....
"There are two ideas of government. There are those who believe that if you just legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous, that their prosperity will leak through on those below. The Democratic idea has been that if you legislate to make the masses prosperous their prosperity will find its way up and through every class that rests upon it....
"If they dare to come out in the open field and defend the gold standard as a good thing, we shall fight them to the uttermost, having behind us the producing masses of the nation and the world. Having behind us the commercial interests and the laboring interests and all the toiling masses, we shall answer their demands for a gold standard by saying to them, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold."
