In 1848 Henry Richard, a Welshman, member of the British House of Commons, wrote the following words: “Give me the money that has been spent on war and‘ I will purchase every foot of land upon the globe. I WILL CLOTHE every man, woman and child in an attire of which Kings and Queens would be proud. I WILL BUILD a school house on every hillside and in every valley over the whole earth. I WILL BUILD an academy in every town and endow it; and a college in every state and fill it with able professors. . I WILL CROWN every hill with a [place of worship, c0nsecrated to the promulgation of the Gospel of peace. . I WILL SUPPORT in every pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath morning the chime on one hill should an- swer the chime on another round the earth’s wide circumference; and the voice of prayer and the song of praise should ascend like a universal hosanna to Heaven.” WHAT WOULD HE SAY TODAY?
