The Faith of Our Fathers

If we could retain the faith of our fathers, with our present worldly comforts, how happy we should be! We live in better houses, and we walk on better sidewalks than did our ancestors; but we have not so much reverence for sacred things, nor their belief in things eternal. They never saw the railroad, nor the telegraph, nor the last work of Professor Tyndall; but they all believed in the day of Judgment, and loved the sound of the church-going bell. They lived in contentment and died in peace, and they were more solicitous to know the final destiny of their own souls than the “Origin” of their Species.
