Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung is always alive in our hearts for his great ideology, shining exploits and noble virtues, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in an article.

The article notes:

The past 30 years have seen the President, who is always alive in the hearts of the people, and the people who have braved adversity with ardent yearning and invariable feelings for him.

The immortality of the leader is a sacred world that comes true only through the great succession.

The succession to the great idea and intention is, indeed, the immortality of the President preserved by the respected General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

Since he solemnly declared at the beginning of the new century of Juche that the eternal strategy and the final victory of the Korean revolution lie in advancing straight along the road of independence and socialism indicated by the President and Chairman Kim Jong Il, the General Secretary has worked hard for more than 10 years to bring about a new great historic era in reflection of the minds of the President and the Chairman.

The history of the President is given steady continuity on this land.

July is not only the month of yearning and recollection for us but also the one of pledge when tens of millions of people further harden their faith and will to translate the lifetime desires of the President into a more brilliant reality.

Let us always remain faithful to the respected General Secretary and achieve a fresh victory of the revolution without fail under his guidance. This is our sacred pledge before the President in this significant year's July and the pure conscience and revolutionary obligation of our people who are adding glory to his great life.

As our people are strong in this faith, the President will always be with us. -0-
