Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address at the Inauguration of the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association: Delivered in Temperance Hall, January 16th, 1854
Righteousness, and righteousness alone, exalteth a nation. When will an unbelieving and frivolous world listen, - if not to the voice of God, - to the trumpet-tongued facts of histo ry proclaiming this truth This is the only guarantee for a nation's greatness and glory. Her military and naval establishments may command the respect of the world her statute books may burst with legislation she may erect her penitentiaries, and scatter her schools for secular instruction over the length and breadth of the land; yet if religious principle be not the basrs of the national character, there is a blight upon all her prosperity, and the fabric of her liberty rests upon a foundation of sand. He is the best patriot who most e?'eetually promotes the spread of Christian piety.
