Excerpt from The Bible: Its Influence; Its Relations to Republican Government, and Its Necessity as a Text-Book of Ethics in the Public Schools Skepticism may weave its subtle theories: Material ism may shed, as the diviner revelation, its pale light upon the human understanding; and still, the written ford of God stands, and will stand forever, as the chief primate in the true development Of man. There fore, as suggested in the preposition we quote, the Bi ble is the grand criterion Of morality, Of social and civil progress, and Of the latent resource of nations. So effective, so uniform, so distinctive is it in its influences in developing character, that we need only inquire by what firesides it is cherished, and from what hearth-stones it. Is rejected, to be able not only to determine the moral character Of communities, but to point out upon the world's map the great centres of popular intelligence, of useful industry, of individual dignity, of physical health and comfort; of personal grace and beauty, as well as to draw prophetic-outlines Of the civil and social destiny of peoples.
