You should be giving ninety percent. Cause God can handle money better than we can.”

They turn on the most serious subjects the holiday, seaside, newspaper habit of mind”

“The United States has adventured upon a great and noble experiment . . . of total separation of Church and State. . . . The offices of the Government are open alike to all.

Such is the great experiment which we have tried, and . . . our system of free government would be imperfect without it.”
