Synopsis
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in Berkeley April Thirtieth, 1889, at a Meeting in Commemoration of the of the Inauguration of George Washington as President of the United States
The great heroes of the world have become heroes through participation in the most brutal of human occupations; and that the influence of their fame has not always been brutalizing has been due to the manifestation of personal quali ties superior to martial Skill, or to the spread of the belief that the cause was approved of Heaven, and the leader the instrument of Provi dence. Believing that the divine favor rests on that which we love with a self-sacrificing devo tion, we have called the cause of liberty the cause of God; and thus in our eyes is the hero of liberty exalted. Those who stand forth to this generation as the heroes of American lib erty, appear also the heroes of an abounding faith. What they fought for was not conquest, but an opportunity to make a great experiment in liberty; and if they saw something desirable in liberty-exercised by a great nation, something worth uncounted sacrifices, faith must have il lumined their prophetic vision; for one hundred years ago there was not a page Of history towhich our fathers could point in justification of government by the people, except within the nar row limits of a town or a canton. Yet, moved by the faith that was in them, they dared every thing for the sake of the great experiment which to-day counts an hundred years of trial. It is a sad commentary on the fall of the Spirit of a great nation, debased by trade and devotion to caste, that the English, who for centuries led the politi cal development Of the world, and from whom we drew the foundations of our institutions, were the first to proclaim that the experiment had failed.
