Excerpt from Laying of the Corner Stone of the Baltimore House of Refuge: And the Address Upon the OccasionIn the name of the God of the poor - the light and the balm of the erring - we have laid this corner-stone of 'a temple of humanity. From this summit, that looks down on our city's thrift and cares, and urgent race Of life, we Offer on an altar of pity the incense of anxious duty, Of guardian charity. Here, under this free firmament and the attesting heavens, we bow in a dedication that shames not these Skies. We come hearing at heart the young and misguided and endangered, without Shelter from harshness and wretchedness, unshielded against ruin. We come in worship of the holy tenet that every human being is the Shrine Of a soul and the material for celebrating an immortal destiny. We gather to this field of hope, listening to the Supreme dictate, that we live not for ourselves alone.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
