It Is My Meditation All The Day,

We May Continue To Expect The Enjoyment Of All The Blessings Of Civil And Religious Liberty, Guaranteed By The Constitution. The Citizens Of Illinois Have Done Themselves Honor, In Throwing The Mantle Of The Constitution Over A Persecuted And Afflicted People.

Our Nation, Which Possesses Greater Resources Than Any Other, Is Rent, From Center To Circumference, With Party Strife, Political Intrigues, And Sectional Interest; Our Counselors Are Panic Stricken, Our Legislators Are Astonished, And Our Senators Are Confounded.

The Constitution Should Contain A Provision That Every Officer Of The Government Who Should Neglect Or Refuse To Extend The Protection Guaranteed In The Constitution Should Be Subject To Capital Punishment; And Then The President Of The United States Would Not Say, "your Cause Is Just, But I Can Do Nothing For You."

Hence We Say, That The Constitution Of The United States Is A Glorious Standard; It Is Founded In The Wisdom Of God. It Is A Heavenly Banner; It Is To All Those Who Are Privileged With The Sweets Of Liberty, Like The Cooling Shades And Refreshing Waters Of A Great Rock In A Thirsty And Weary Land. It Is Like A Great Tree Under Whose Branches Men From Every Clime Can Be Shielded From The Burning Rays Of The Sun.

We're Not Just Building A Temple Here, The Lord Is Building Us.
