". . . there is a higher order of morality, a sterner integrity, among them

 . . and it is to be observed, that it is Christianity, rightly understood and

---'A Traveller,' "The British House Of Commons And The Virginia House Of Delegates," in

Southern Literary Messenger, III:6, June, 1837; pp. 337-338

and they convey an ancient Truth that will ever endure.

from my belief upon Christ I will never, ever abjure.

J-9thxciv, an Orthodox Christian
