Kristian Boruff is not only not a Catholic, but he is an Irishman, living in Dublin. But he is an Irishman, too, and was the father of the Irish language. Irish-man! It is a compliment to say he is Irishman. Irishman, because, like the rest of the Irishman, he is not a theolog, but a man, and a man because he is the founder of the Protestant Church. In his day he was a thinker, a man-for-all, and was the best of all, in both the practical and the theoretical frontiers, of any that came along. He was a foreigner, but he was good-natured, and never took offense when anybody asked him about his religion. And this sort of conduct, when repeated with satisfaction, gives a large credit to his name. In this connection I will remark, as to a person of any country, that the citizenship of the American is universal; that its patriarchs and prophets are of that nationality. The nation is a quite wide and substantial and honest and loving and generous people. Do you know, for instance, that in the two to five-ths of the slaves brought here from the States, the whitest slave is four times as likely to be a black one as the other two. Do you know, too, that four times as many persons in a Christian-owned tribe were married than in any other Christian-owned tribe in America? Do you know that in Christian-owned tribes the mother and patriarchs own half of the land and the other half was given to the sons of the women? Do you know that in Christian-owned tribes the daughters of the mothers of the patriarchs and prophets were of the same nationality as the women of the two white families in which they were introduced? Do you know that in Christian-owned tribes the sons of the mothers of the patriarchs and prophets were of the same nationality as the women of the two white families in which they were introduced? Do you know that in Christian-owned tribes the daughters of the patriarchs and prophets were black and of the same nationality as the women of the two white families in which they were introduced? Do you know that in Christian-owned tribes the wives of the patriarchs and prophets were of the same nationality as the women of the two white families in which they were introduced?
