Excerpt from Building the Tombs of the Prophets
This day commemorates the epoch of our National History. It is the political birth-day of a great people. If we keep days for kings, heroes, sages and statesmen, it is proper that we should observe, in some becoming way, the anniversary of a Nation's Exodus from vassalage and dependence. Let this day be honored, by due observance, in all time to come. I have invited you to this place to-night, in deference to its claims. It is not my purpose, however, to rehearse the history of which it is the luminous centre: I propose rather to deal with the truths which it signalizes, viewing them somewhat from their point of contrast with those errors and perversions of the time, which threaten to rob the day of its only true significance. I have selected, as serving my present occasion, by afford ing a proper starting point for the remarks I wish to make, those words of our Lord found in Luke xi. 47, 48.
Woe unto you: for ye build the sepulchres of the Prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers, for they indeed killed them and ye build their sepulchres.
