The title of this speech was taken from the preamble to the Ten Commandments: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage” (Exodus 20:2). The speech focuses on the themes of liberation and commitment. In the speech Kuyper notes that, while the Anti-Revolutionaries have at long last been liberated from liberal oppression, new dangers loom on the horizon. Like dark clouds, threats come from four directions and Kuyper considers it “a burden imposed on him” to name these dangers and to elaborate on his warnings (cf. 1912.14). At the end of his speech, Kuyper briefly speaks about himself, expressing his willingness to remain of assistance, his gratitude at what he has been fortunate enough to reap (including slander and abuse), and his thankfulness toward those who have remained loyal to him.
Kuyper delivered this speech in Leeuwarden on March 25, 1912, in Groningen on March 26, and in Rotterdam on April 12. (The fortieth anniversary celebration for De Standaard took place between the second and third delivery of the speech.) The audience on each occasion was made up only of members of the Anti-Revolutionary Electoral Associations; the press was not admitted. Kuyper made a short summary of his speech available to the press. The speech itself came out in print a day after Kuyper had delivered it for the third and final time. The back cover contains a price list for thirty-nine of Kuyper’s brochures. The second printing (see 1912.06) was printed within ten days.
