The People Are Responsible For The Character

When The Shadow Of The Presidential And Congressional Election Is Lifted We Shall, I Hope To Be In A Better Temper To Legislate.

The World's History Is A Divine Poem, Of Which The History Of Every Nation Is A Canto, And Every Man A Word. Its Strains Have Been Pealing Along Down The Centuries, And Though There Have Been Mingled The Discords Of Warring Cannon And Dying Men, Yet To The Christian Philosopher And Historian - The Humble Listener - There Has Been A Divine Melody Running Through The Song Which Speaks Of Hope And Halcyon Days To Come.

Men Are Tending To Materialism. Houses, Lands, And Worldly Goods Attract Their Attention, And As A Mirage Lure Them On To Death. Christianity, On The Other Hand Leads Only The Natural Body To Death, And For The Spirit, It Points Out A House Not Built With Hands, Eternal In The Heavens... Let Me Urge You To Follow Him, Not As The Nazarene, The Man Of Galilee, The Carpenter's Son, But As The Ever Living Spiritual Person, Full Of Love And Compassion, Who Will Stand By You In Life And Death And Eternity.

Monuments May Be Builded To Express The Affection Or Pride Of Friends, Or To Display Their Wealth, But They Are Only Valuable For The Characters Which They Perpetuate.

I Have Seen The Sea Lashed Into Fury And Tossed Into Spray, And Its Grandeur Moves The Soul Of The Dullest Man; But I Remember That It Is Not The Billows, But The Calm Level Of The Sea From Which All Heights And Depths Are Measured.
