The Great Hope Of Society Is In

True Love Is The Parent Of Humility.

Every Mind Was Made For Growth, For Knowledge, And Its Nature Is Sinned Against When It Is Doomed To Ignorance.

A General Loftiness Of Sentiment, Independence Of Men, Consciousness Of Good Intentions, Self-oblivion In Great Objects, Clear Views Of Futurity; Thoughts Of The Blessed Companionship Of Saints And Angels, Trust In God As The Friend Of Truth And Virtue,--these Are The States Of Mind In Which I Should Live.

The Mind, In Proportion As It Is Cut Off From Free Communication With Nature, With Revelation, With God, With Itself, Loses Its Life, Just As The Body Droops When Debarred From The Air And The Cheering Light From Heaven.

The Cry Has Been That When War Is Declared, All Opposition Should Be Hushed. A Sentiment More Unworthy Of A Free Country Could Hardly Be Propagated.
