Excerpt from Influence, Without Intervention; The Duty of Our Nation to the World: The Oration, at Burlington College, on the Seventy-Sixth Anniversary of American Independence, and Sixth, of the Founding of the College, July 5, 1852 Samaritan, supplies, at once, the answer, and the illustration, Which now, Of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him, that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus, unto him, go, and do thou, likewise. We are ready, now, to apply to our own case, the princi ples, thus, stated.
