"The high minded person, - the true patriot will not condescend to engage in mere party strife. Much less can a christian, and especially a christian minister consistently come down from his elevated position, to contend in a mere political tournament. It would be degrading to the pulpit, and destructive to its holy influence to make it subservient to mere party interests."

Good +, retaining original wraps. Some handling and a few turned corners. Very nicely preserved and quite rare.
