No Person Connected With Me By Blood

I Hope You Will Be Benefitted By Your Churchgoing. Where The Habit Does Not Christianize, It Generally Civilizes. That Is Reason Enough For Supporting Churches, If There Were No Higher.

Have Been Reading "genesis" Several Sundays, Not As A Christian Reads For "spiritual Consolation," "instruction," Etc., Not As Aninfidel Reads To Carp And Quarrel And Criticize, But As One Who Wishes To Be Informed And Furnished In The Earliest And Most Wonderful Of All Literary Productions. The Literature Of The Bible Should Be Studied As One Studies Shakespeare, For Illustration And Language, For Its True Pictures Of Man And Woman Nature, For Its Early Historical Record.

My Judgment Is That Neither House Of Congress, Nor Both Combined, Have Any Right To Interfere In The Count. It Is For The Vice-president To Do It All.... There Should Be No Compromise Of Our Constitutional Rights.

It Is The Desire Of The Good People Of The Whole Country That Sectionalism As A Factor In Our Politics Should Disappear.

I Am A Freeman And Jolly As A Beggar.
