Excerpt from The Hour of Patriotism: A Discourse Delivered at the United Service of the First, Lafayette Street, North and Westminster Presbyterian Churches, Buffalo, November 27, 1862, the Day of the Annual Thanksgiving in the State of New York
During the sixty minutes for which I am to ask your attention, I shall employ myself in leading you to some views of the Hour of Patriotism, or the Love of our Country in Her Middle Passage.
No good man but loves his country. A virtuous patriotism is a fundamental quality in every virtuous character. It may not always be shining with a supereminent lustre over all other noble and excellent qualities, such as to throw everything else into the shade by an intense and overshadowing brightness. There is a time for all things under the sun; and it is not always that the requirements of the hour will set this in the foreground.
