To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" And in the true spirit of the festival, these messengers of salvation to a benighted land, instead of the ensigns of temporal dominion, set up " the sign of the Son of man, " and reverently kneeling recited " the litanies of the Holy Cross !" Behold ! the royal standards fly. The Cross illumes our brightening sky ! That Cross where life did death endure. And by that death did life procure. 14 Fulfilled are now the mystic words, Which David's faithful song records : Proclaiming, all the earth ...should see God ruling nations from the tree. Oh glorious tree ! whose branches wore The royal purple of his gore! No other stem of worth like thine, To touch those mangled limbs divine ! Can you wonder at the sequel ? Can you wonder that He who had bid an Emperor " conquer in that" sacred " sign, " should subdue the red-man's heart before it ? For the planters of Maryland did not open the chronicles of the chosen seed, to read there a fancied commission to themselves, to " cast out the heathen. " They resorted to no speculations on the natural right of man to parce- nery of the globe, and their own consequent title to a corner of the Indian's hunting grounds.
