But the hour demands another answer. What shall we give to our country ? We owe her our best, — the best of mind and heart, — our highest and freest thouglits, our most unselfish aspirations, the strug- gle of our inmost spirit in prayer to God for his blessing. We owe to her our heartiest sym- pathy and cooperation ; we owe it to her to put forth all the power there is within us to make the institutions and laws and enterprises of the state at one with the Divine will, as revealed in the gospe...l of Christ. We should not carry our politics into religion, but we should put our reli- gion deeply and earnestly into our politics ; we should carry them up to God, and do what we can to make this world the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. We can give no less. But what shall we give our country? Ask the living soul which a few days ago animated the now lifeless form of the friend before us, — ask him what shall be given, and the reply comes cheerfully, man- fully, — '- Give the best you have to give, give all 1* 6 you liavc to give.
