of all who love freedom and hate wrong, and
their fame will grow brighter every year until
the principles for which they contended shall
prevail the world over.
We shall not soon look upon another like
Wendell Phillips. Born and reared in the lap
of luxury and pride, the pet of intellectual
Boston, he turned away from what seemed the
path of success and became of no reputation.
Like O'COnnell his heart was so large that it
took in the oppressed of all lands. To them
nation without liberty was like planet without
an atmosphere; it was dead. He took up its
banner and bore it like the brave, grand man
that he was. He knew nothing about evasion
or cOncealment. He was
"a helper of the human race,
A soul of beauty ana of grace;
spirit firm erect and free
That never baSey bends the knee;
That will not bear a feathers weight
OF savery's chain, for small or great
That firmly speaks of God within,
And never makes a league with sin;
That snaps the letters despots make,
And loves the truth for its sake;
That worships God and Him alone;
That trembles at no tyrants rod,
A soul that fears one but God,
And thus smile at curse and ban;
That is the soul that filed this man.
