You Cannot Barter Manhood For Peace.

I Pray That On This Day [christmas] When Only Peace And Good-will Are Preached To Mankind, Better Thoughts May Fill The Hearts Of Our Enemies And Turn Them To Peace.

My Chief Concern Is To Try To Be An Humble, Earnest Christian.

While We See The Course Of The Final Abolition Of Human Slavery Is Onward, & We Give It The Aid Of Our Prayers & All Justifiable Means In Our Power, We Must Leave The Progress As Well As The Result In His Hands Who Sees The End; Who Chooses To Work By Slow Influences; & With Whom Two Thousand Years Are But As A Single Day.

You Cannot Barter Manhood For Peace.

A Man May Manifest And Communicate His Joy, But He Should Conceal And Smother His Grief As Much As Possible.
