Excerpt from The Relations of the Bible to the Civilization of the Future: A Sermon Delivered Before His Excellency Nathaniel P. Banks, Governor, His Honor Eliphalet Trask, Lieut. Governor, the Honorable Council, and the Legislature of Massachusetts, at the Annual Election, Wednesday, January 2, 1861 The custom which we honor in the services of this day, has come down to us from an ancestry, whom history has learned to recognize among the civilizing powers of the world. Their power is, for the most part, latent, like the forces of nature. Like those, also, it is constructive. It has been working now for two centuries and more, yet, to-day, it is going on with its creations, giving birth to States, fashioning institutions, breathing free life into nations, with the same unconsciousness of its own majesty which belongs to gravitation.
