Excerpt from Obedience to Human Law Considered in the Light of Divine Truth: A Discourse, Delivered in the First Baptist Meeting House, Lawrence, Mass, , July 4, 1852 This is the Lords Day. "It is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." We embrace it as the occasion in which is celebrated the triumphs of Jesus over the tomb, in which was completed the work of Redemption on earth, the sign of the blessings of the Gospel to sinful men. But this day is not only the Christian Sabbath, it is likewise by the date of this year a National Sabbath-day. It is the Fourth of July, in the seventy-sixth year of the Independence of the United States of America, the birth day of our country, the day loved by every American heart. Though it is in the popular phrase the glorious fourth, I have no oration to pronounce, I have no speech portraying the glories of our Republic. I come not to you under the sound of the booming cannon, I take not the platform where I am to be greeted with cheers from an excited multitude. I have no cheers to receive, I ask for none, but I solicit listening ears, serious countenances, devotional hearts and thoughtful minds. I would preach the gospel this day, and being the anniversary of our Independence, I am moved to proclaim the gospel in one aspect of its relation to the interests of this nation.
