"The Cloud" by Sartell Prentice is a patriotic address written during the early 20th century, specifically amid the turmoil of World War I. It employs a biblical metaphor to reflect on the rising threats of war and oppression, urging Americans to prepare for battle against tyranny and for the principles of liberty and justice. The text serves as a rallying cry to mobilize citizens for the war effort and to recognize their roles in fighting what is framed as a looming existential threat. In the address, the author discusses the historical context of war and atrocities committed by German forces against various nations, highlighting the importance of solidarity and action among free nations. Prentice calls upon the American populace to embrace their responsibilities, whether through military service, support for the Red Cross, or financial contributions, emphasizing that every citizen's efforts are crucial to maintaining democracy. The work ultimately seeks to inspire a collective commitment to the ideals of freedom and to discourage any divisions that German propaganda may sow among the Allies.
