Every race and every nation should be judged by the best it has been able to produce, not by the worst.
Father, Father Abraham,
To-day look on us from above;
On us, the offspring of thy faith,
The children of thy Christ-like love.
Whose starward eye
Saw chariot swing low”? And who was he
That breathed that comforting, melodic sigh,
Nobody knows de trouble I see”?
