Excerpt from The Bible, the Rod, and Religion, in Common Schools: The Ark of God on a New Cart, a Sermon It is not true that the many stand back, who once were active, be cause they are afraid of their popularity. The ministry and the church, in the infancy of the cause, before public favor was secured, when there was something to be afraid of, when some sacrifice and toil were necessary, were not afraid to speak and suffer for humani ty. Nor do Ibelieve the love of gain lies at the basis of this un willingness to act. That men will sell rum while it is profitable so to do, I have no doubt. But it is not true of the citizens of Boston, that they love gain more than principle. Let them know What hu manity demands, and they will respond to that demand. The spirit of Hancock yet lives. When it became necessary to burn Boston, as it was thought, to save the country, Hancock assured his friends that such an act would leave him in poverty. But, said he, if the country demand the sacrifice, let the torch be applied. To other causes you must look.
