Excerpt from A Thanksgiving Discourse: Delivered in the First Congregational Unitarian Church in Philadelphia, August 6th, 1863

First, because the moral influence of institutions is never a matter of outward observation. Although it. Is constant, it is silent and works in numberless unnoticed ways. Men are affected by it as by the light, and they take no more note of it than of the air that they are breathing. Rarely do they know what spirit they are of, or how much it is determined by the circumstances and social forms established around them. The moral results of these come under - the eye only upon great occasions, at critical hours. And they cannot even then be handled, weighed, or measured.
