Excerpt from The Peace We Need, and How to Secure It: A Sermon Preached in the Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, on the Day of National Humiliation, June 1, 1865With nations, as with individuals, success is a severe crucible to character. But this is a small part of the test to which we are to be subjected. The principles involved in this war, are those which lie at the very foundations of our government. Some of these have been decisively and, as we may hope, permanently settled. But others which have been evoked in the course of the contest, are still in controversy among the ablest and most patriotic friends Of the Union. Still further, every great civil war, our own among them, gives birth to numerous questions among the most intricate upon which any government can be called to pass - questions of jus tice and mercy, of amnesty and indemnity, of recon struction, of confiscation, of local military rule, and the like, in our case, multiplied and complicated by the unique and delicate relations of the Federal and State charters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
