AMERICA
CANNOT STAND DIVIDED
In
June 16, 1858 President Lincoln gave the following speech:
A
house divided against itself cannot stand.
I
believe this government cannot endure, permanently,
half
slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to
be dissolved —
I
do not expect the house to fall —
but
I do expect it will cease to be divided.
It
will become all one thing or all the other.
Either
the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it,
and
place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief
that
it is in the course of ultimate extinction;
or
its advocates will push it forward,
till
it shall become lawful in all the States, old as well as new —
North
as well as South.
Today,
the Disunited States of America stand in a similar position.
America
cannot Stand Divided,
With
one half, Honoring God and His Word,
And
the other half Rebelling against it.
Today,
America will become one thing or the other:
Against
God and His Word, or for it.
