Excerpt from The Function of Great Men
Isaiah III: I, 2 and 3. For, behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, doth take away from Jerusalem and from Judah, the mighty man, the man of war, the honorable man, the counsellor, and the eloquent orator.
There is no function of society more important, more vital, than the choice of rulers; the selection of a na tion's great men! It is a supreme, a sacred act. When exercised by a great, free people, it is an anointing holier than that of a king's. It is the utterance of a voice which is the voice of God The Psalmist says, Promo tion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But, God is the Judge. He putteth down one, and setteth up another. And there is no holier transaction, in which a nation ever engages, than that by which, through her constitutional forms, she con sults God's oracles; appeals to Him, as to the men whom He would have to exercise authority over her. Says Whittier, in his poem, The Eve of Election, Around I see the powers that be I stand by Empire's primal springs; I princes meet, in every street, And hear the tread of uncrowned kings.
