Historic Shrines of America / Being the Story of One Hundred and Twenty Historic Buildings and the Pioneers Who Made Them Notable

by John T. Faris

And power of Christ in many a forest glade,

Teaching the truth that leaves men unafraid

Of frowning tyranny or death's dark face.

"Oh, who can tell how much we owe to thee,

Makemie, and to labor such as thine,

For all that makes America the shrine

Of faith untrammelled and of conscience free?

Stand here, grey stone, and consecrate the sod

Where rests this brave Scotch-Irish man of God."
