The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-11-30

You see that God has adapted everything
to our comfort and advantage. Pleasant
things for the palate; music for the ear;
beauty for the eye; aroma for the no trtl;
kindred for our Affections; poetry for our
taste; religion for our iul We are put in
a garden, and told that from all the trees
We may eat except here aud there one. He
gives tue sun 70 shine on US aud ths waters
70 ref esh US, and food TO strsng hen US;
and the herbs yield medi line when We are
sick and the forests lumber when q " Iuld
build a house, or cross the water in ship.
The rocks are transported for our founda-
ii u and metals up urned for our cur
Tency; and wild beats must give us
covering; and the mountains must be
tunneled to let US pass; and the fish OF the
sea come up in our net; and the birds ( the
air drop at the flash Of our guns; aud the
cattle on a thousand hills come down 70 give
Us meat. For US The peach orchards bend
down their fruit, and the Vineyards their

came with spikes In his feet; came when no

wish you good cheer for civil and relig-

We stand here to-day with our arms free to
work, aud our tongues free to speak. This

| there is no chain around about it. There is
| no swapping of musketry in the street.
Blessed be God that to~day we are free men,
with the prospect and determi lation of
always being free. No established rel gion:
