All through European history the blood of these stubborn adherents of right and righteousness runs as a thread of scarlet and their love of liberty as a thread Of gold. Sir Philip Sidney, the flower of chivalry, who, for the love of God and his fellow-men, fought in the armies of the Netherlands, returned to England to tell Queen Elizabeth that the spirit of the Dutch is the spirit of God and is invincible. This same spirit, I like to think, reappeared in the men and women who early in the thirties revolted against the state church in Holland, seven hun dred of whom came to Pella in 1847.
