L'EACE does not seem so distant as it
did. I hope it will come soon, and
come to stay; and so come as to be
worth the keeping in all future time. . . Still,
let us not be over sanguine of a speedy final triumph.
Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the
means, never doubting that a just God, in His
good time, will give us the rightful result.
