Remarks to New School Presbyterians1Jump to section

October 22, 1863

It has been stated that he had a heavy responsibility resting upon him. He felt it when he considered the great territory of the country---the large population, with the institutions which have grown up---liberty and religion to be maintained. He could only do his duty by the assistance of God and the means which He has supplied, of which the reverend gentlemen around him were noble examples. If God be with us, we will succeed; if not, we will fail.
