I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and ifwe think themnot enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it fromthem, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.

...whereas it is the duty of nations as

well as of men, to own their

dependence upon the overruling power

of God, to confess their sins and

transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet

with assured hope that genuine

repentance will lead to mercy and

pardon; and to recognize the sublime

truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures

and proven by all history, that those

nations only are blessed whose God is

the Lord.

And, insomuch as we know that, by His

divine law, nations like individuals are

subjected to punishments and

chastisements in this world, may we not

justly fear that the awful calamity of

civil war, which now desolates the land,

may be but a punishment, inflicted

upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to

the needful end of our national

reformation as a whole People? We

have been the recipients of the choicest

bounties of Heaven. We have been

preserved, these many years, in peace

and prosperity. We have grown in

numbers, wealth and power, as no

other nation has ever grown. But we

have forgotten God. We have forgotten

the gracious hand which preserved us

in peace, and multiplied and enriched

and strengthened us; and we have

vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of

our hearts, that all these blessings were

produced by some superior wisdom

and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with

unbroken success, we have become too

self-sufficient to feel the necessity of

redeeming and preserving grace, too

proud to pray to the God that made us!

It behooves us then, to humble

ourselves before the offended Power, to

confess our national sins, and to pray

for clemency and forgiveness.Abraham Lincoln, Proclamation Appointing

a National Fast Day, March 30, 1863

It is religion and morality alone which

can establish the principles upon which

freedom can securely stand. The only

foundation of a free constitution is pure

virtue.John Adams

The only foundation for a usefuleducation in a republic is to be laid inreligion. Without this there can be novirtue, and without virtue there canbe no liberty, and liberty is the objectand life of all republicangovernments.

METHODIST

CHURCH

As Jesus would notbe tempted to deny his

identity, let us follow in Hisfootsteps and live aschildren of God, alwayseager to do kingdombuilding work.

But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.I Cor. 15:57

As to the position that 'the people always mean well,' that they always mean tosay and do what they believe to be right and just - it may be popular, but it cannot be true. The word people applies to all the individual inhabitants of acountry. . . . That portion of them who individually mean well never was, noruntil the millennium will be, considerable. Pure democracy, like pure rum,easily produces intoxication and with it a thousand pranks and fooleries. I donot expect mankind will, before the millennium, be what they ought to be andtherefore, in my opinion, every political theory which does not regard them asbeing what they are, will prove abortive. Yet I wish to see all unjust andunnecessary discriminations everywhere abolished, and that the time maycome when all our inhabitants of every color and discrimination shall be freeand equal partakers of our political liberties.

John Jay, Letter to Judge Peters (March 14, 1815)

The worship of the state is the worship of force. There is no more dangerousmenace to civilization than a government of incompetent, corrupt, or vile men.The worst evils which mankind ever had to endure were inflicted by badgovernments. The state can be and has often been in the course of history themain source ofmischief and disaster.

Historical Recipe – Hams

The proper boil ing of a properham reaches the level of high art.Proper boil ing makes any soundham tolerable eating; conversely acrass and hasty cook can spoilutterly this crowning mercy of thesmokehouse. Yet proper cookingis not a recondite process, nor onebeyond the simplest intel l igence. I tmeans first and most, pains andpatience, with somewhat offoresight, and something more ofjudgment.
