Excerpt from Religion: The Hope of the Nation: Delivered Before the City Government and Citizens of Boston in Faneuil Hall, on the One Hundred and Thirty-Eight Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of These United States, July 4, 1914
This is an occasion when we not only present to the Master of Men and the Protector of Peoples a grateful heart for His many blessings, but with earnest searchings we examine our national con science to consider how we have fulfilled the trust committed to our care, what account we can give of our stewardship.
One hundred and thirty-eight years have elapsed since the memorable hour when the framers of a new nation signed that singular document known as the Declaration of Independence. We of to-day cannot appreciate the significance of. That occasion. What that hour meant to them it is almost impossible for us to estimate. We are too remote from the time to understand the conditions of that day and generation, the difficulties which confronted them, the obstacles that impeded the way to peace and progress; in consequence we cannot adequately value their achievement.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the text of a speech given by Reverend James A. Supple on the Fourth of July in 1914. The speech reflects on how far the country has come in its 138-year history, and the role religion has played in the development of American society. Reverend Supple saw religion as central to American life, and argued that it is the foundation of morality, prosperity, and the nation's very existence. He believed that the family is the cornerstone of the nation, and that religion is essential for maintaining the integrity of family life. He also argued that religion is necessary for the dignity of labor, and that it is the force that can reconcile the interests of employers and employees. Reverend Supple concluded his speech by arguing that while America had been blessed, it was only through continued faith that the nation could endure.
