Christian civilization, which is not based upon selfishness, which does not make the accumulation of material treasures or the increase of material enjoyments its main objects, might be recognised in the past history of Em ope, and especially of our own country, might influence and determine its future condition. We knew well how little you and I could do to counteract the evil, or bring forth the good, that is working in our time. But we knew also, that what we could do, we were bound to do. And 1believe that in looking back upon the seven years that have elapsed since, we have both often felt bitter self-reproach, in considering how much more even we might have done, if Ave had followed the light which was granted us, to prevent the blessing of God sgreat judgments from being lost to our country, how much we have shared in the sin of the rulers who, while those judgments were in the earth, did not learn righteousness, but returned, after a moment of terror, to their crooked ways.
