Section 4 How Children Learn About Human Rights, has one small glitch after all. At 15:04 there's a repeat “a newcomer” in “There was one child, a newcomer, who said. "This seems all right to me.”

It's not a big error to me BT, so if you want to leave it as is, I'll mark the section as Okay.
Well read, BT

Regards,
Betty

I'll take a listen to it and edit asap, thanks.

In patriotic fervor for US Independence Day, I present:
The National Flag by Henry Ward Beecher. You can almost hear fireworks in the background.
It kind of rankles me, a southerner, but it is full of history and a great indication of how some people feel even now. I have used a cut version for a Boy Scout flag program.

• Length in minutes 47:56 and size 43.8 MB

The sourcefile had more typos than I have seen in transcriptions. It did have some editorial footnotes, which I put in the text where I thought they explained the situation, and did them soto voce, so they would seem a bit apart from the text.

Happy Fourth.

I was able to listen to the National Flag this evening amd there's one small glitch you may choose to redo:

At 44:32, the phrase "spread all over in the characters of living light" is a little distorted in this sentence:

"But everywhere, spread all over in the characters of living light, blazing on all its ample folds,.."

It's not a big problem so you may want to take a listen and decide whether to reedit that or not.

Very well read and I can see how Beecher's very strong fervor can be irksome.

Regards,
Betty

So I fixed that [long] sentence, and it is better, but the patch shows.

Sorry I took so long. We're having a hurricane, you know.

I spot PL'ed "The National Flag" and it's PL OK now. Much improved!

I've also PL'ed Not to Counterfeit Being Sick (Essays, Book II, 25)
