Learning and Working

Excerpt from Learning and Working: The Religion of Rome, and Its Influence on Modern Civilization
We knew well how little you and I could do to counteract the evil, or bring forth the good, that is working in our time. But we knew also, that what we could do, we were bound to do. And I believe that in looking back upon the seven years that have elapsed since, we have both often felt bitter self-reproach, in considering how much more even we might have done, if we had followed the light which was granted us, to prevent the blessing of God's great judgments from being lost to our country, - how much we have shared in the sin of the rulers who, while those judgments were in the earth, did not learn righteousness, but returned, after a moment of terror, to their crooked ways.
