Pioneers’ Sacrifices Builded America, Declares Coolidge President Says Asbury’s Life Portrays Spirit of Devotion That Made Nation i Greater Than Its Founders Dreamed. Coolidge at the unveil- ing ceremonies at the statue of Bish- op Asbury, delivered the following ad- dress: “This occasion cannot but recall to our minds in a most impressive way the sacrifice and devotion that have one into the making of our countr: It impossible to interpret it ‘as the working out of a plan devised by man. The wisest and most far-sighted of them had little conception of the greatn of the structure which was to arise on the foundation which they were making. As we review their accomplishments they constantly ad- monish us not only that ‘all thin work together for those who do good,” but that in the direction of the af- fairs of our country there has been ader vision, wider pur- than that of mortal man which can only ascribe to a Divine Prov- wide variety of motives has gone into the building of our re- public. We can never understand | What self-government is or what is necessary to maintain it, unless we | keep these fundamentals in mind. To one of them, Francis Asbury, the first American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and his associates made a tremendous contribution. Our Government rests upon relig- fon. It is from t source that we | derive our reverence for truth and {Justice. for equality and liberty, and | | a greater wisdom and pose w for the rights of mankind. Unless the people believe in these principle: they cannot believe in our Govern- ment. There are only two main theories of government in the world One rests on righteousrass. the other rests on force. One appeals to rea- son, the other appeals to the sword. Onme is exemplified in a rep: . the other iz represented by a despotism The history of government on this earth h been almost entirely a history of the rule of force held in the hands of a few. Under our Con- stitution America committed itself to the practical application of the rule of reason, with the power held in the | hands of the people.

The abil- for self-government is arrived at only through an_ extensive training | and education. In our own case it required many generations and we annot yet that it is wholly per- ected. It is of a great deal of sig- nificance that the generation which fought the American Revolution had seen a very extensive religious re- vival. They had heard the preaching of Jonathan Edwards. They had seen the great revival meetings that were inspired also by the preaching of Whitefield. The religious experiences of those days made a profound im- pression upon the great body of the people. They made new thought and created new interests. They freed the public mind. through a deeper knowledge and more serious contem- plation of the truth. By calling the people to righteousness they were a direct preparation for self-govern- It was for a continuation of this work that Francis Asbury was raised up. “The religious movement which he represented was distinctly a move- ment to reach the great body of the people. Just as our Declaration of Independence asserts that all men are created free, so it feems to me the founders of this movement were in- the thought that all men worthy to hear the Word, to be sought out and brought fon. It was this motive that their preachers among the poor and neglected, even to criminals in the jails.

It was pre-eminently a mov m t in behalf of all the people. It was not a new theory. The Amer- ican Constitution was not a new But like it, it was the prac- tical “application of an old theory, which was very new. “Just as the time was approaching when our country was about to begin the work of establishing a Government which was to represent the rule of the people, where not a few but the many were to control public affairs, where the vote of the humblest was to count for as much as the vote of the-most exalted, Francis sbury came to Americ to ach religion. He had no idea that he was preparing men the better to take part in a great liberal movement, the better to take advantage of free institu- tions and the better to perform the func- tions of self-government. He did not ome for political motives. Undoubtedly they were farthest from his mind. Others could look after public affairs, He was a loyal and peaceful subject of the realm. He came to bring the gospel to the people, to bear witness to the truth and to follow it wheresoever it might lead. Wherever men dwelt, what- ever their condition, no matter how re- mote, no matter how destitute they might be, to him they were souls to be saved A Man of the People. “For this work the bearing of the testimony of the truth to those who were about to be and to those who in his later years were sovereign Amer- ican citizens, he had a peculiar training and aptitude. He was the son of ‘a father who earned his livelihood by manual labor, of a mother who bore a reputation for piety. By constant effort they provided the ordinary comforts of life and an opportunity for intellectual and religious instruc- tion. It was thus that he came out of a home of the peoplé. As early as the age of 17 he began his preaching. In 1771, when he was 26 years old, responding to a call for volunteers, he was sent by Wesley to America. Landing in Philadelphia, he began that ministry which in the next 45 vears was to take him virtually all through the Colonies and their west- ern confines and into Canada, from Maine on the North, almost to the Gulf of Mexico on the South. “He came to America five years after the formation of the first Methodist Soclety in the city of New York, which had been cotemperane- ous with his own joining of the British conference as an itinerant preacher and a Gospel missionary. At that time it is reported that there were 316 members of his denomina- tion in this country. The prodigious character of his labors is revealed when we remember that he traveled some 6,000 miles each yvear; or in all about 270,000 miles, preaching about 16,500 sermons and ordaining more than 4,000 clergymen, besides presid- ing at no less than 224 annual con- ferences. The highest salary that he received was $80 each year for this kind of service, which meant ex- posure to Summer heat and Winter cold, traveling alone ' through the frontier forests, sharing the rough .fare of the pioneer’s cabin, until his worn-out frame was laid at last at rest. But he left behind him as one evidence of his labors 695 preachers and 214,235 members of his denomina- tion. The vitality of the cause which he served is further revealed,by re- calling that the 316 with which he began has now grown to more than 8,000,000. Loyal to His Cause. “Hia problem 'during the Revolu- | tionary War was that of continuing to_pecform his duties without under- , taking to intcrfere in civil or mili- tary affairs. He had taken for the text of his first sermon in America these very significant words: ‘For 1 determined not to, know anything among vou save Jesus Christ and Him crucified’ When several of his associates left for England In 1773, he decided to stay. ‘I can by no mean. lakree to leave such a fleld for gath- ering souls to Christ as we have in America,’ he writes, ‘therefore I am determined by the grace of God not to leave them, let the consequence be what it may.’ But he had no lacl alty to the early form of Amer- jovernment. When the inaugu- of Washington took place April 30, 1789, the conference being in session, Bishop Asbury moved the presentation of a congratulatory ad- dre: the new President. His sus- gestion was adopted, and the Bishor being one of those designated *for the purpose, presenting the address in person, read it to Washington How well he fitted into the scheme of things, this circuit rider who spen his life making stronger the fourda tion on which our Government rest: and seeking to implant in the heart: of all men, however poor anl ur worthy they may have seemed, increased abiliyt to discharge the hi duties of their citizenship. His out posts marched with the pioneers, h missionaries visited the hovels of the poor—that all men might be brought to a knowledge of the truth “A great lesson has been taught us this holy life. It was because oi what Bishop Asbury and his as: ciates preached and what other reli- glous organizations, through their ministry, preached, that our country has developed so much freedom and contributed so much to the civiliza- tion of the world. It is well to re- member this when we are seeking for social reforms. 1f we can keel in mind their sources. we shall bette understand their limitations. The government of a country never gets ahead of the religion of a country. There is no way by which we can substitute the authority of law for the virtue of man. Of course, we can help to restrain the vicious and furnish a fair degree of security an otection by legislation and police ntrol, but the real reforms which sciety in these days is seeking will ration | come as a result of our religious con- victions, or they will not come at all Peace, justice, humanity, charity— these cannot be legislated into being. They are the resuit of a divine grace I have never scen the necessity for reliance upon religion rather than upon law better expressed than in a great truth uttered by Mr. Tiffany Blake of Chicago, when he said “Christ spent no time in the ante- chamber of Caesar.” An act of Con- gress may indicate that a reform is being or has been accomplished, but it does not of itself bring about a reform. Lesson in Contentment. “Perhaps. too, there is a lesson in contentment in the life of this devout man. He never had any of the lux- uries of this life. Even its conven- iences did not reach him, and of its absolute necessaries he had a scanty share. Without ever having the en- joyment of a real home, constantly the move poorly clad, often y sheltered, much of the time insufficiently nourished, yet his great spirit pressed on to the end, always toward the mark of his high calling. His recompense was not in the things of the earth. Yet who can doubt that as he beheld his handi- work, as he saw his accomplishments grow, there came to him a glorious satisfaction and a divine peace. No doubt he valued the material things of this life, and certainly they ought to be valued and valued great- 1y, but he regarded it as his work to put a greater emphasis on the things of the spirit. He sought to prepare men for the sure maintenance and the proper enjoyment of liberty, and for the more certain production and the better use of wealth, by inspiring them with a reverence for the moral values ' of life. What a wonderful experience he must have had, this prophet of the wilderness! Who shall say his influ- ence, written upon the immortal souls of men, shall end? How many homes he must have hallowed! What a mul- titude of frontier mothers must have brought their children to him to re- ceive his blessing. It is more than probable that Nancy Hanks, the mother of Lincoln, had heard him in her youth. Adams and Jefferson must have known him, and Jackson must have seen in him a flaming spirit as unconquerable as his own. How many temples of worship dot our landscape; how many institutions of learning, some of them rejoicing in the name of Wesleyan, all trace the inspiration of their existence to the sacrifice and service of this lone circuit rider. He is entitled to rank as one of the builders of our Nation. “On the foundation of a religious civilization ,which he sought to build our country has enjoyed greater blessings of liberty and prosperity than was ever before the lot of man These cannot continue if we neglect the work which he did. We cannot depend on the Government to do the work of religion. We cannot escape a personal responsibility for our own conduct. We cannot regard those as wise or safe counselors in public affairs who deny these principles and seek to support the theory that so ciety can succeed when the individuai fails. “I do not see how any one could recount ths story of this early bishop without feeling a renewed faith in our country. He met a multitude of storms. Many of them caused him sore trials. But he never wavered. He saw wars and heard rumors of war, but whatever may have been the surface appearance, underneath it all our country manifested then and has continued to manifest a high courage, a remarkable, strength of spirit and an unusual ability, in the crisis, to choose the right course. Something has continued to guide the people. No tumult has been loud enough to pre- vent their hearing the still small volce. No storm has been violent enough to divert inspired men from constantly carrying the word of truth. The contests of the day have but been preparations for victories on the morrow. Through it all our country has acquired an underlying power of judgment and stability of action which has never failed it. It furnishes its own answer to those who would defame it. It can afford to be oblivious to those who would detract from it. America continues its own way unchallenged and un- afraid. Above all attacks and all vicissitudes it has arisen calm and triumphant; not perfect, but march- Ing on guided in its great decisions by the same, spirit which guided Francis Asbury.” Lieut.
