“Sensible of the importance of Christian piety and virtue to the order and happiness of a state, I cannot but earnestly commend to you every measure for their support and encouragement ... Manners, by which not only the freedom, but the very existence of the republics, are greatly affected, depend much upon the public institutions of religion and the good education of youth; in both these instances our fathers laid wise foundations, for which their posterity have had reason to bless their memory.” StatesReasonChristianOrderFatherMemoriesExistenceSupportVirtueWiseYouthDependsImportanceEncouragementInstitutionsFoundationInstanceMannersAffectedBlessRepublicSensiblePosterityOur FatherPietyGood EducationSupport And Encouragement Author:John Hancock
