Excerpt from Education, and Not Legislation, Our Country's Need: A Thanksgiving Discourse It must not only charge every man with the keeping of a high and important trust, but it must send him on a heroic mission to rescue the perishing. We have had quite too much of this sickly style in both Church and State. We need to be more aggressive if we ever expect to make the conquest of this world We can, perhaps, afford to sing Hold the Fort when the world has once been thoroughly conquered. But it is certainly poor business for either Christians or states men while there are yet so many forts to be taken. Storm the Fort would be vastly more in harmony with the true idea of living and the real necessities of the case.
