"I tremble for my country when I hear of confidence expressed in me. I know too well my weakness, tha..." — Robert E. Lee

The doctrines & miracles of our Saviour have required nearly two thousand years to convert but a small part of the human race, & even among Christian nations, what gross errors still exist!

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.

The devil's name is dullness.

My chief concern is to try to be an humble, earnest Christian.
