Excerpt from "Ground Arms!": An Oration Delivered at the Celebration of the One Hundred and Seventeenth Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence

Our father's God, from out whose hand The centuries fall like grains Of sand, We meet to-day, united, free, And loyal to our land and Thee, To thank Thee for the era done, And trust Thee for the opening one.
