Excerpt from The Testing of a Nation
The origin of this volume is quite simple. Requests have reached me from widely different quarters for a collected record of some of the words spoken at our special Services on anni versary days during the five years' experience, unique in human history, which we have lived to share. We met in vicissitudes of eager strain and effort, of anxiety and hope, of sharp sorrow and thankful pride, to say our prayers together, and to attune our thoughts, if it might be, to the greatness of the hour. Any interest attaching to the simple addresses given depends upon their being a truthful record of what was said on days fraught with sacred recollections. I have accordingly made no effort to re-edit them, or to remove an occasional repetition of thought or language used in different places at considerable intervals of time. The addresses belong, as the title which I have chosen in dicates, to a Nation's testing-time, when facts were of more value than many words. What will endure is the lesson of those facts, and of that lesson the spoken words in their very simplicity may perhaps usefully remind us.
