Let Every Man, If Possible, Gather Some

War Will Never Yield But To The Principles Of Universal Justice And Love, And These Have No Sure Root But In The Religion Of Jesus Christ.

Precept Is Instruction Written In The Sand; The Tide Flows Over It And The Record Is Gone; Example Is Graven On The Rock, And The Lesson Is Not Soon Lost.

The World Is To Be Carried Forward By Truth, Which At First Offends, Which Wins Its Way By Degrees, Which The Many Hate And Would Rejoice To Crush.

The Cry Has Been That When War Is Declared, All Opposition Should Therefore Be Hushed. A Sentiment More Unworthy Of A Free Country Could Hardly Be Propagated. If The Doctrine Be Admitted, Rulers Have Only To Declare War And They Are Screened At Once From Scrutiny. . . . In War, Then, As In Peace, Assert The Freedom Of Speech And Of The Press. Cling To This As The Bulwark Of All Our Rights And Privileges.

We Honor Revelation Too Highly To Make It The Antagonist Of Reason, Or To Believe That It Calls Us To Renounce Our Highest Powers.
