Excerpt from Religion and the State: A Discourse Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Savannah, Georgia, July 4th 1858
I cannot but regard it as a happy and significant coincidence, that this anniversary of our National Independence should be associated with the solemn and sacred services of the sabbath. There is something impressive and imposing in the thought that this day, dear to every American heart, and fraught with glorious memories of the past, should be set apart in the prov idence of God to His service, and occupied in the public wor ship of the sanctuary.
Allover this favored land of ours, from the mountains to the sea-board, from north to south, from east to west, the sun of the sabbath is pouring his genial rays. In ten thousand temples of worship the voice of prayer and praise arises like a cloud of grateful incense to the God of nations who wrested this western world from the hand of the spoiler and gave it to us as a goodly heritage.
