In 1897, Everett Hale wrote " Challenge to the Youth of Boston\u201d:<\/p>\n
As a boy goes on his errand he shall say, \u201cTo such duty I, too, am born. I am God\u2019s messenger.\u201d As the young man tells the story to his sweetheart, he shall say, \u201cWe are God\u2019s children also, you and I, and we have our duties.\u201d They look backwards, only to look forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cGod needs me, that this city may still stand in the forefront of his people\u2019s land. Here am I. God may draft me for some spiritual duty, as he drafted Warren and Franklin. Present! Ready for service! Thank God I come from men who are not afraid in battle. Thank God, I am born from women whose walk was close to him. Thank God I am his son.\u201d<\/p>\n
And she shall say, \u201cI am his daughter.\u201d He has nations to call to his service. \u201cHere am I.\u201d<\/p>\n
He has causeways to build, for the march forward of his people. \u201cHere am I.\u201d There are torrents to bridge, highways in deserts, \u201cHere am I.\u201d He has oceans to cross. He has the hungry world to feed. He has the wilderness to clothe in beauty. \u201cHere am I.\u201d<\/p>\n
God of Heaven, we will be with Thee, as the fathers were. Boys and girls; young men and maidens, listen to the voice which speaks here.2564<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
