Sinopsis

Excerpt from Message of His Excellency, Richard Yates: Governor of Illinois, to the General Assembly; January 5, 1863

Amid such shocking scenes, amid calamities, which, a few sh01t years since, it had not entered into human imagination to conceive, it is with a deep sense of the responsibility of my position, that I proceed to the task before Unde1 ordinary circumstances, it well becomes us to be modest of our own merits and abilities. But when compelled to wit ness the agonies of our country, writhing 1n the very throes of dissolu tion, individuals become dwarfed 111 stature and the soul of the p10ud est and bravest pauses awe-struck at the march of events.

Under such extraordinary circumstances, then, as those which now surround us, does it doubly become us to look less to 0111 own proud hearts for strength, and more to the sustaining power of that God, who ever disposes of all that man proposes.
