Excerpt from A Voice From the Ranks of the Army: Philosophy of the War of Secession, Illustrated by Historical Facts, Together Showing the Destiny of the Union
Here we would ask, can there be a more exalted dignity con ferred upon man than to be admitted as a co-operator with God and thus intimately conjoined to the great Eternal! What more potent influence can be brought to bear on the formation of char acter in the individual mind?
From this elevation of view, this high mountain-top which rears its lofty crest from the midst of the vast plain over which our subject extends, may be seen somewhat of the important po sitiou the element of Industry occupies, not only in the political economy of a commonwealth, but in the Divine economy through out the government of the human race. We perceive that it is made a means of conjoining the creature to the Creator, and of establishing that covenant relation symbolized in the Word by the covenant made with Abraham, whose posterity were delivered from a degrading bondage in Egypt and conducted under the Divine guidance to their promised land, to take a position among the nations of the earth.

Excerpt from A Voice From the Ranks of the Army: Philosophy of the War of Secession, Illustrated by Historical Facts, Together Showing the Destiny of the Union
The philosophy that rises not above secondary causes, stopping short of the great First Cause, must of course be defective in all its derivations, and unable to disclose any true relation between cause and effect. So also, the logic that substitutes a minor for its major proposition must not only be lame in all its conclusions, but absolutely halt, incapable of advancing in any scientific direc tion. Hence, if we would gain true views of the inherent dignity of Industry, and thus find its proper position in all human affairs, we must begin at the beginning.
We therefore commence the examination of this branch of our subject with the axiom, that useful industry 15 co-operation with god. This will be evident on a very little re ection, so that it may be classed among the truths that Mr. Jefferson calls self evident that is, it is a truth seen by means of its own light, and takes its place among primary truths.

This book argues for the elevation of the Industrial sector to the highest position socially, politically, and economically, presenting the bold idea that Industry is a divine calling, not merely a material pursuit.

This book draws on Christian theological principles to uphold labor, viewing it as a co-creative act with God. It proposes the Union, then embroiled in civil war, was destined to become a nation of united people.
