Stran 92 - That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the word of life...
Stran 53 - THERE is beyond the sky A heaven of joy and love ; And holy children, when they die, Go to that world above. There is a dreadful hell, And everlasting pains ; There sinners must with devils dwell In darkness, fire, and chains.
Stran 36 - I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. I believe that all reforms which rest simply upon the enactment of law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile.
Stran 36 - By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way.

Stran 53 - There is a dreadful hell, And everlasting pains ; Where sinners must with devils dwell, In darkness, fire, and chains. Can such a wretch as I Escape this cursed end ? And may I hope, whene'er I die, I shall to heaven ascend?
Stran 42 - ' says Bishop Spalding in an eloquent passage, ' ' is the unfolding of a mysterious power, which in man rises to self-consciousness, and through self-consciousness to the knowledge of a world of truth and order and love, where action may no longer be left wholly to the sway of matter or to the impulse of instinct, but may and should be controlled by reason and conscience. To further this process by deliberate and intelligent effort is to educate" — and, I add, to educate so as to sow the seed...
