“We profess to be republicans, and yet we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government; that is, the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible; for this divine book, above all others, favors that equality among mankind, that respect for just laws, and all those sober and frugal virtues which constitute the soul of republicanism.” MeanBookSoulGovernmentFormLawChristianityPrinciplesVirtueMankindYouthDivineRepublicanUniversalFavorsNeglectSoberForms Of GovernmentFrugalChristianity From Founding FathersPerpetuatingRepublicanismUniversal Education Book:Essays: Literary, Moral and Philosophical Source: Essays: Literary, Moral and Philosophical
