solemn conviction Is that every American citizen and
every Christian American minister Is guilty r he be
SILENT WILL therefore, never hesitate refuse to tes
tify the great and solemn principles which esteem
involved in the whole character OF this terrific conflict
have opened on the twenty seventh Psalm which,
In It's first two verses illustrates the most i'm
portant principles to which wish to direct
your notice for few momens"Except the Lord build
the heuse they labor in vain that build IT, Except the
Lord keep the city, the watchman wateth but in vain
vain for to rise early and to sit late to eat
the bread Of sorrow for He gvch His beloved sleep"
The reverend gentleman proceeded TO say that those
words showed mans system OF temporary expedients,
and Gods system OF ever advancing progress and prosper
Ing purposes in which He finally works known from the
beginning. They might apply those great principles to
that terrific contest which had been for and quarter
years wasting and deluging our land. We may well ap.
ply them this day, said ho, when that noble whom
the providence Of God has placed at the head OF this
government, whose name, in my judgment win go down
to posterity as OF the brightest and most phinng
lights in American history. has called together with
such testimony Of truth as shall read to you at
this moment. (Dr Tying read the Presidents proclama
tion) do not hesitate again to say, continued the
speaker, that there but that document pro-
ceedng from him whom the providence OF God made

honor every generation Of posterity and should
