Excerpt from The Cause of the War In the fire of a great tribulation, and we ought to come close enough to the flames for them to scorch our hearts. When so many of our brothers and sisters are in agony, it is base for us to turn our back upon them in their affliction. Moses one day saw what he thought was a bush on fire. He said, I will turn aside and see this great sight. God spoke to him out of the fire. Shame on the man who is so stupid or selfish that he is nu willing to turn aside and ask himself Why it is that a continent is blazing! We owe it to ourselves and humanity to investigate the cause of the things that make havoc of human happiness and homes. Hundreds of men through.
