A little cement to bind the pass several post together :{))) Discussion and division have been rife amongst us, and they have done their common work of evil; for as men contend, they strengthen their own views, and grow to look on others with a readier and more morbid exclusiveness. Each party sees strongly some portion of the truth; and, in their zeal for it, too commonly forget that partial truth is amongst the most pernicious forms of error. At such a time, the voice of the great and holy dead is of peculiar value. They are free from our contentions; and the harmony and grandeur which dwell on their passionless and even judgments remind us of the peacefulness with which their spirits now embrace truth and one another in Paradise; and their voice will be heard, as from the depth of an oracle, above the strife and din of our jarring tumults.
