Excerpt from Resolutions and Discourse What mean these sable symbols of mourning? Why this House of God draped? Why that Flag - the emblem of our national life and power - why wears it the weeds of marked grief? Why this large and solemn gathering? Why these prayers and dirges lifted to Heaven through our tears? You tell me they utter, one and all, the fact of Death, and are signs of uncommon sorrow. But who of your dear ones is recently dead? Into whose home has the grim messenger entered of late and made new havoc with your hearts, in smiting down some illustrious, shining victim, and hence waked this wail of mourning, this quite universal, crushing grief, in our quiet New England home? Who of us have recently lost a loved one? I see no coffin. You have not brought with you into the House of Prayer the dear remains of any dear departed one. Why these symbols of anomalous grief? Why this dark and sepulchral pall? Why your faces covered with tears? Why do your hearts ache as if they must break, or you die? Lo! What do I see, all over our land, where Loyalty and Freedom remain, where are yet found hearts true to God and to law-abiding Liberty, what do I see?

Excerpt from Discourses I am not ashamed Of the gospel Of Christ. SO said Paul. SO would I say. Would to God that I could catch the spirit as well as the language Of the Apostle, and hear my testimony to Christianity with the same heroic resolution. DO any ask Why I join in this at testation to the gospel? Some of my reasons I pro pose now to set before you; and in doing so I ask the prii'ilege of speaking, as the Apostle has done, in the first person; of speaking in my own name, and of laying open my ownmind in the most direct language. There are cases, in which the ends of public discourse may be best answered by the frank expression Of indi vidual feeling; and this mode of address, when adopted with such views, ought not to be set down to the ac count Of egotism.

The Relationship between Human Security Discourse and International Law

The concept of human security has emerged in international relations and policy as an idea which not only seeks to relocate the focus of international society on the individual, but also challenges the current priorities of the international community. In particular it places emphasis on promoting and facilitating a nexus between security, development and human rights. It is potentially a paradigm in the making, gaining considerable momentum within the UN, international relations scholarship and regional bodies. And yet by-and-large it continues to be unexplored by the international legal community, despite the success of a number of international treaties being attributed to the discourse. This book seeks to address this gap, and establish the nature of the relationship between human security discourse and international law, determining whether human security can meaningfully contribute to the international legal framework. To determine this, the book analyses the core principles of human security discourse and examines the degree to which they find parallels in the existing normative structure of international law. The book examines the how the broad-narrow debate that dominates human security discourse has played out in international law-making. It goes on to consider the processes for the creation of so called ‘human security’ treaties in order to determine a blueprint for future development of international human security treaty law. In concluding Shireen Daft sets out a structured principled approach through which international legal scholarship can engage with human security, highlighting the ways in which engagement between the two fields can be sustained.

Excerpt from Discourse True happiness is only to be found in health, - health of mind, health of soul, health of body. With that clearness of mind which sees the just relative proportion and importance of things; with that soundness of soul which keeps a conscience void of offense; and that physical condition which makes the pulse carry, in its swift arterial rounds, an actual and pleasant ex hiliration - a man is in his true estate - the fullest, the strongest, the happiest, the best, - a11d can then realize the benevolence of his creation.
