Into the ancient Holy LandBehold, the Son of God is come to Man.Hic est enim calix sanguinis mei
In innocence fall all heroes and their creedsAn age is done, an age from here proceeds.Qui pro vobis et pro multis effendetur
In remissionem peccatorumWhat consuming pagan fires could not do:A covenant of love and Word made flesh, in you.Hoc est enim Corpus MeumSleep swells His breast, though heavy pressed,By Golgotha, and Adam's sin,and the hopes of he who signs his name herein.Joyous Christmas,Jesse
"Senators disturb us by reminding us of the possibility of large numbers swarming from China; but the answer to all this is obvious and very simple. If the Chinese come here, they will come for citizenship or merely for labor. If they come for citizenship, then in this desire do they give a pledge of loyalty to our institutions; and where is the peril in such vows? They are peaceful and industrious; how can their citizenship be the occasion of solicitude?"
Senator Charles Sumner, 1870
