Who asked Him to offer His Son? If you take the first step, you will be
treading in the footprints of Jesus. He has shown us how to love our
enemies, and to do good to them that despitefully use us. It is true
that you would have to make a sacrifice, to be the first to hold out the
white flag. Yes, and you can afford to do it, if you are the one in the
right. It is the man who is in the wrong who is the easiest offended,
and the last to yield.
Whether we are Conservatives or Liberals, we are Englishmen, and cannot
afford to be divided. Whether we want the Church to be Disestablished or
not, we are Christians. Let us be friends once more, and try to think
the best we can of each other. Whether our side has won or not, we are
certain that Right will prevail in the long run. We can afford to wait,
if we are on God's side, for He wins by losing.
