Three Churchmen: Sketches and Reminiscences of Michael Russell, Charles Hughes Terrot and George Grub (1893)

Being a resident of New Orleans, Louisiana, I have learned to enjoy the sights and sounds of New Orleansa blend, from its musical point of view to its cultural point of view. I am a singer, song writer, poetry writer, and I firmly believe itas a gift from God. Without God, I am nothing. Iam like an empty space from where nothing comes from. Without God, how can I move? Iad be standing still, motionless, to a world thatas in constant motion. Without you, God, how can I be, when you purposely spun me from my motheras womb? God, without you, there would be no me. From New Orleans, Louisiana, to all over the world, keep standing on Godas word.
