In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.

The Bible must be considered as the great source of all the truth by which men are to be guided in government as well as in all social transactions.
All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.
