    1. is taking us from under the yoke of bondage, and placing us where we could reap the fruit of our own labor, take care of ourselves and assist the Government in maintaining our freedom

      The first several points line up with what's generally though of as being freed from slavery, but the last point (assisting the Government) is something new to me. To me there seems to be an implication of military service, or some other commitment to defense. It could easily be interpreted as going from one form of bondage, or control, or being under the power of a man, to exactly the same situation on a larger scale. It immediately makes me wonder about the faith in Government that Frazier has, and how that commitment reflects changes in leadership and hope for the future. I also find myself wondering about the role of religion here, because these are religious leaders, and what role that necessarily plays in the ideas and opinions that were shared.
