Excerpt from Our Country, Its Pride and Its Peril: A Discourse Delivered in Harvard Street Baptist Church, Boston, Aug, 11, 1861, on the Return of the Pastor From Syria

But not to any of those climes did my heart go forth in the expression of the text towards none of those countries did I feel the tender sentiment of the Moabitess woman. I could not say to the Frenchman, the Italian, the Egyptian, the Turk or the Arab, thy people shall be my people. I could not say to the Papist, the Mos lem or the Jew, thy God shall be my God. I could not turn to the inhabitants of London, Paris, Rome, Athens, or Jerusalem, and say to them, where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried.
