Explanation:

Emily Dickinson's poem "324" "Some Keep the Sabbath going to Church" shows the poet declaring her own ways of praising and worshiping the Lord. She used the metaphor of "a Bobolink for a Chorister – And an Orchard, for a Dome" to show that one need not go to church physically to worship God. She herself stayed at home and still managed to do the same. She uses the Bobolinks(a kind of bird) as Choristers and the orchard as a Church/place of worship.

Emily Dickinson seems to suggest that the only way to praise God and be a believer is not going to church or dressing in any specific attire or even listening to the sermons. Rather, one can also be a true believer and attain wisdom and faith by being a true Christian and living life according to God's ways. Attending church is not even necessary, if one can live his/her life according to God's ways. She used the metaphor of the birds and the orchard to make a point that even the outdoors is just as holy as the church.

sunflower is pretty good, roses is decent though the song isn't that good, those are the best two i could think of

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
