The Nassau Lit PDF Download

Excerpt from The Nassau Literary Magazine, Vol. 23: March 1863 With our thoroughly American thoughts, and principles, with our love for Liberty, and reverence for the Republic, with our belief in the present, and our hope in the future, we cannot say there is. This is a spontaneous, intuitive and unavoidable judgment, and knowing this, we can readily make an analysis of our feelings, and show the grounds of our belief They will appear on a consideration of the three great stamina Of civilization as they flourish in our day - Religion, the Arts and Sciences, and Civil Liberty. I. If the dav-star is ever to dawn on our benighted race, can we not now see its kindling rays, its glorious beauty? Never has the plan Of Redemption a God has sealed with His blood, received so much honor as now. Governments and nations have learned to bow in humility before its simple creed, and to acknowledge in thankfulness, the supremacy Of one higher than they. Not only has civilization sought shelter beneath its imposing shade, but barbarian kings have accepted its friendly aid, and its spreading branches are covering the Isles of the Sea. Never from the Indian wave has come a greater demand for Truth; never from the burning sands of Afric, a more earnest call for aid. The time when whole na tions were plunged in the darkness of night, is rapidly passing away. While Religion is thus advancing, is it likely there will be, can there be, any degeneracy in the Age?
