Come in the evening, or come in the morning, Come when you're looked for, or come without warning.
But ah, who can deceive his destiny, Or ween by warning to avoid his fate?
The people of the United States are drawn from many nations, and chiefly from the nations now at war. Some will wish one nation, others another, to succeed in this monumental struggle. I venture to speak a solemn word of warning. The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls.We must be impartial in thought as well as in action.
