Excerpt from A Sermon Delivered Before His Excellency Edward Everett, Governor, His Honor George Hull, Lieutenant Governor, the Honorable Council, and the Legislature of Massachusetts, on the Anniversary Election, January 3, 1838

IT was the spirit of piety and patriotism, that led the fathers of New England to recognize their de pendance on God, for wisdom to guide, and firmness to sustain their legislators, in the execution of the high trust reposed in them and also to adopt the principle, that due reverence for Jehovah demanded the introduction of their fellow citizens to ofl'icial stations, with the accompaniment of religious servi ces. And nothing surely is more rational, and ap propriate to the commencement of the business of public legislation, than the devotement of an hour to earnest supplication, and solemn reflection on the reciprocal duties of the people and their rulers, as they are indicated by the Holy Spirit.
